Cleveland is in the territory of the Central Passenger Association. Legislative 

 acts having reduced fares in this territory to the two cents a mile basis, the Central 

 Passenger Association cannot make a further reduction by authorizing the certificate 

 plan of fare-and-three-fifths for the round trip. This means that the certificate 

 plan does not apply for this meeting. It is suggested that advantage be taken of 

 such excursion fares as may be in effect at the time of the meeting. Members should, 

 therefore, consult their local ticket agents regarding routes and rates. Parlor and 

 sleeping car accommodations should be reserved in advance. 



From the States of California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and west of, and 

 including, Mission Junction, B. C; also from what are known as Kootenay common 

 points, namely. Nelson, Rossland, Sandon, Kaslo and Grand Forks, B. C, the 

 Transcontinental Passenger Association has on sale daily Nine-Months Tourist 

 fares, approximating two cents per mile in each direction, or about one fare and one 

 third for the round trip. The nine-months fares apply to the eastern gateways of 

 the Transcontinental territory which are: — 



Atchison, Kansas. Memphis, Tennessee. 



Chicago, Illinois. Mineola, Texas. 



Colorado Springs, Colorado. MinneapoUs, Minnesota. 



Coimcil Bluffs, Iowa. New Orleans, Louisiana. 



Denver, Colorado. Omaha, Nebraska. 



Fort Worth, Texas. Pueblo, Colorado. 



Houston, Texas. St. Joseph, Missouri. 



Kansas City, Missouri. St. Louis, Missouri. 



Leavenworth, Kansas. St. Paul, Minnesota. 



Station agents will cheerfully advise delegates as to the eastern points to which 

 it will be most advantageous for them to purchase nine-months tickets in rebuying 

 through to Cleveland. 



Proportionately higher fares are made to principal Atlantic seaboard points 

 and to interior points such as New York, N. Y.; Baltimore, Md.; Philadelphia, Pa.; 

 Washington, D. C; Boston, Mass.; Montreal, Que.; Albany, N. Y.; Pittsburgh, Pa.; 

 Buffalo, N. Y.; Detroit, Mich.; Toronto, Ont.; Cincinnati, Ohio.; Indianapolis, 

 Ind.; Atlanta, Ga., etc 



The nine-months fares do not apply to intermediate or interior points, but only 

 to what are known as the eastern gateways of the Association, such as those named, 

 including also Colorado Common Points. Should it happen that delegates apply 

 at a station on the Pacific Coast from which the nine-months fare is not in effect, 

 which may be the case at very small, unimportant stations, the agent will cheerfully 

 ascertain and advise them the nearest point to his station from which such fare does 

 apply. 



Ofificial Buttons 



The official button of the Association will be supplied to all members 

 whose dues are paid, including dues for the year 1913. These will be 

 furnished at the meeting on application to the Secretary.
