it on to the office of the Southern
Pacific at San Francisco.
“It is for a L.C.L. (less than a

camp. “It was for medical supplies,
all at different rates, and the car
made up by the Chicago and
Northwestern railroad, and the
goods came from a place near Chi

E. D. Hayden, assistant cashier,
who will be in the 18-19 draft,
worked for two hours typing the

denoting revised rates.
