Arrangements for Camp-Meeting.
By M. C. Israel
ALL who go by rail will have to come to San Francisco first. The only reduction on the Central Pacific Railroad from usual rates, is by chartered cars. Seating capacity, fifty adults. For children from five to twelve, half fare. Round trip as follows:— Woodland, $194 for car; to each person.....$ 3.88
Fresno, $435, “ “ “ “ “ ..... 8.75
Lemoore, $550, “ “ “ “ “ ..... 11.00 Our friends from this place can take advantage of rates already existing, which are as low as $1.50 each way. Tickets for the camp-meeting and return will be sold at these stations,—$8.80 from Salinas, and $7.00 from Castroville, including camp-meeting baggage; no reduction can be obtained for intermediate places, except for a larger number than will be likely to come. HEALDSBURGH AND SAN FRANCISCO.
The San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad Company have reduced the fare for us to $4.00 round trip, including 100 pounds of baggage, each. They have also kindly offered to give us a free pass for two tons of our camp-meeting freight, each way. Our brethren will find it best to have one of their number to each car, or each company to attend to the baggage and have it checked as if it was all his own. By doing this you will not be likely to have to pay anything extra for baggage. Some having more and some less than the rate allowed will not average over the 100 pounds each. All who wish to be provided with tents, already pitched on the ground when they arrive, had better apply by letter, or otherwise, to the undersigned or G. D. Hager, Pacific Press, Oakland, at once, so that provision can be made in time. The rates will be as usual. Trains leave San Francisco for Healdsburgh at 7:10 A. M., 4:50 P. M., via San Rafael. 2:30 P. M., via Donahue.
