This freight has always been billed by the Union Pacific at their proportion of the Bacramento rate, but the arbitrary rates chgrged by the Central Pacifie company on its business forced nearly all to 8aa Feanciseo either by rail or water routes. The Central Pasific, however, reduced tho rate so as to make it practicable to ship from the east direct.
