New Rates.—The Northern Pacific
not satisfied with having given the
people four overland flyers each day,
have made a reduced rate good from
Little Falls to any point west as fol
lows: To Portland and Sound points,
$25; Spokane, $22.60; Walla Walla
and Pendleton, 924.50. This rate lias
been made in order to place all points
on their system on an equal footing,
and to encourage emigration. The
N. P. has many sections of fine lauds
for sale which they are offering on
very reasonable terms, and the new
western rates are made with a view of
their early settlement. The new
train service gives universal satisfac
tion.
