REDUCTION OF FARES TO CAMP-MEETING AT STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA.
By C. H. Jones
Southern Pacific Company.
THOSE coming to the camp-meeting over any of the lines of the Southern Pacific Company will purchase a first-class ticket to Stockton, paying the regular fare, and at the same time presenting a certificate, which must be filled out and signed by the ticket agent. After these certificates have been endorsed by the secretary of the conference on the camp-ground, they will entitle the holder to a return ticket at one-third the regular rate, at any time, and up to June 12, 1899. Return tickets must be used within forty-eight hours after they are purchased. California Northwestern Railway.
Arrangements have been made with the California Northwestern Railway Company (formerly San Francisco and North Pacific R. R.) for the sale of tickets from any point on its line to San Francisco, on the certificate plan the same as above, excepting that return tickets can be purchased on properly-signed certificates at any time up to and including June 30, 1899. Return tickets over this line must be purchased on day of departure, as they will be good for passage on trains of that date only. These certificates can now be obtained free of charge, by addressing J. J. Ireland, 1059 Castro Street, Oakland, Cal. We suggest that where several persons are coming from one place, it be arranged to have all the certificates needed sent to one person, and then passed around to those who are coming. Be sure to order enough for all. San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Ry. Co.
Definite arrangements have not yet been made with this company, but we think it is safe to say it will be on the certificate plan, the same as above. Full information will be given in our next issue. By Steamer from San Francisco to Stockton.
