AMONG THE RAIL

Book Island Win Bsa Cheap _ to Colorado. ~~— The Chicago, Rock Island A Pacific i railway, which made a phenomenal success of cheap excursion rates to Colorado last season, has again asked its competitors In the Western and Southwestern Passenger associations to agree upon a series of cheap excursions to and from Denver, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo, for the approaching season, on the following basis: Tickets to be sold from Chicago and all territory up to Missouri river, June 18, 25, July 16, 23 and 30, Aug. 6, 13, 20 and 27, at rate of one fare plus $2, or $31.50 for the round trip. \ On July 2 and 9 and Sept. 3 and 10 a rate of $25 is to be made from Chicago, and sls from Missouri river points for the round trip. Intermediate territory will have proportionate rates. Tickets are to be sold from Missouri river points one day later than the dates given above in each case. Proportionate rates will be made to and from Glenwood Springs, Salt Lake City and Ogden. A series of east-bound excursions is also proposed, tickets to be sold from Colorado common points every Thursday, commencing with June 20 up to and including Sept. 12, at a rate of one fare plus $2 for the round trip. All tickets will be limited for return passage to Oct. 31. These rates will be tendered connecting lines for basing purposes, which will probably insure a very low basis of rates throughout the United States for these excursions. The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific will unquestionably make these rates and arrangements effective, regardless of the action of its competitors, and will run special trains, only one night out to and from Colorado, on the dates named. —Chicago Inter Ocean.
