CenTrRAL Paciric RaiLroaDp AND LEASED LINES. GENERAL AUDITOR'S OFFICE, | San Francisco, January 1, 1882. § For the information and guidance of agents and others in making wp the station accounts, so that they may be uniformly and correctly kept, the following instructions are given. 1. The account books in use at a station are the Station Account Book, Ticket Book and Cash Book. 2. (a) In the Station Account Book is recorded the business transacted at the station each day. (b.) Tt is ruled into columns, each having a heading which explains itself. (c.) At the close of the day’s business, the Station Account Book must be written up, and in the following manner : (d.) First, enter in the proper columns, on the same line, the date of the day’s business and number of the statement; then (keeping on the same line) write in « Balance from last Statement,” entering the amount of the balance in the total debit or total credit column, as the case may be. (e.) Then, underneath, enter under the appropriate headings, the footings of all way-bills received from other stations, to be followed by entries of “prepaid charges” Account books used at stations. The Station Account Book, how to be kept. To be written up daily. First entries. Following entries. next statement.” 12 and “advance charges paid ” on all way-bills forwarded to other stations, on which such charges appear, and free * way-bills to stations without agents, as prescribed by the Freight Auditor in his instructions. (f) The extra-baggage way-bills forwarded should then be entered, showing date, number and destination of, and amount prepaid on each way-bill. Amounts should be entered on day received, except at stations re- porting weekly. In the latter case entries must be made on same date as reports to Ticket Auditor, 2. e., the 7th, 15th, 23rd and last day of the month. If either of the first three dates falls on Sunday, entries should be made on the following Monday ; if the month ends on Sunday, amounts should be entered on the previous Saturday. (9) This comprises all the business to be entered in detail. (h.) The account must now be ruled, and the columns which have been entered, added, and the footings brought down. (i) Then on the debit side, in the footings of their respective columns, enter the total ticket and sleeping- car ticket sales as per reports to Ticket Auditor, and the total of all miscellaneous receipts collected, as per Cash Book, and on the credit side the total of remittance to Treasurer. (7) Any errors that may have been made and dis- covered in previous reports should then be added to, or deducted from the footings of the columns in which the errors occurred, and the total footings brought down. (k.) The total footings of the debit side should then | be added across into the total debit column; this will give the total amount of business done during the day chargeable to the station. (1) Adding this amount to “ balance from last state- ment” gives the total debit of the station for which the agent must account. (m.) On the credit side the total of “advance charges paid” and remittance to the Treasurer, added across into the total credit column, will give the total amount for the day with which the station is credited. (n)” The difference, if any, between the total of the debit side and the total of the credit side, will be the « balance to next statement,” which added to the smaller amount will equal or balance the other side. 13 (0.) When the total credit is less than the total debit the difference will be a debit “balance to next state- ment,” which being added to the total credit, will equal the total debit. (p.) When the total of “advance charges paid,” or the amount of the remittance, or the sum of both, is larger than the total of the debit side, the difference will be a credit “balance to next statement,” which added to the debit side, must balance the credit side. (¢) When the balance is against the station, or in other words, a debit “balance to next statement,” the uncollected expense bills actually on hand at the time of closing the accounts, with the cash on hand as per Cash Book, must make the balance. _(r.) It sometimes occurs that an agent by over-remit- ting or advancing carries a credit “balance to next state- ment ” and at the same time has uncollected bills on hand. The amount of these bills must be given, both in Station Account Book and on Daily Statement of Ac- count, but not taken into the balance. (s) The miscellaneous column on the credit side is never to be used except at junction stations, where business is done with connecting or foreign roads, and then only to take credit for amount due from other roads, as per Statement of Settlement. 3. (a) Tissue Station Account Books, in which are to be taken impressions of the Daily Freight Report Daily Statement of Account, and other statements con- nected with them, may be used at stations having way- bill presses in place of the regular books. (b.) The reports are to be copied in the order detailed for the regular Station Account Book. 4. The Ticket Book is to be written up daily as directed by the Ticket Auditor in his it y 5. (a) In the Cash Book are entered ‘each day’s cash collections, from whatever source received, and the disbursement or disposition of same. (b.) It must be written up from time to time during the day as the money is paid in. (c) Begin by writing in on the debit side the date of the day’s business and the balance “ Cash on, Hand;” then Debit balance. Credit balance. What consti- tutes the balance. Uncollected bills to he shown in case of credit balance. Miscellaneous column on credit side. Tissue Station Account Books. Ticket Book. Cash Book. 14 enter in detail freight collections in order of payment, showing expense bill number, from whom received, date and number of way-bill, where from or to, and amount Miscellaneous collections. Demurrage and storage. Total ticket sales. Sleeping-car ticket sales. Extra baggage. Credit cash entries. First entries. Advance charges paid. Remittance to the Treasurer. Striking a balance. Special entries. received. (d.) Miscellaneous collections must be entered in red ink, at the time of payment, stating from whom received, and on what account. (¢) When demurrage and storage charges are col- lected, show in addition to amount, the name of con- signee, the date, number of and where way-bill was from, on which freight was received. (f) Next enter the total amount of ticket sales. (9) Sleeping-car ticket sales come next in order of entry. (h.) Lastly enter the total of extra-baggage collections. (i.) This, after footing, completes the debit side. (4) On the credit side show the disposition made of the money in the following order: (k) Enter first in detail, money refunded on account of overcharges, showing to whom paid, expense bill number, date and number of, and where way-bill was from on which overcharge was made. (I) “Advance charges paid” must next be entered, showing to whom paid, date, number and destination of each way-bill. (m.) Then enter remittance to Treasurer, showing in detail the amount of gold, silver, gold notes, currency, checks, cash papers, ete., of which it consists, as per Re- mittance Tag to Treasurer. (n.) The total of these several amounts will be the total disbursement for the day, which added to “balance cash on hand ” must equal or balance the total debit. 6. (a) In cases where freight is received with charges to collect, and is afterwards ordered sent to some other station with all charges to be collected at desti- nation, the original charges must be entered in the Cash Book the same as if paid, and then taken credit for as « gdvance charges paid.” b.) If storage or demurrage charges accrue at a sta- tion and are billed, when freight is forwarded to another station, as “ advance charges paid,” the agent so billing must debit himself in his Station Account and Cash Books with the amount of such charges. 15 7. (a) Money received account of rental and on other bills sent to an agent for collection must not be taken into the station accounts, but must be made a special remit- tance of. (b.) But, for a matter of record, such collections must be entered in Cash Book, stating on debit side, amount collected, from whom and on what account, and on the credit side, amount remitted and to whom. (c) In entering such a remittance, it must not be mixed with regular remittance, but a separate entry of it should be made. (d.) When a special remittance is made to the Treas- urer, notice must be sent at the same time to the General Auditor, stating amount of such remittance, from whom and for what received. (e.) Special remittances should be accompanied by a tag distinctly stating that such are “special” and not to apply to Daily Statements of Account. 8. Money received or collected at stations to apply or to be remitted on account of through or Eastern charges must be debited in Cash Book, and credit taken for same when disposed of, all necessary particulars being shown. 9. All entries that do not belong to the station oesnats must be put below the regular entries in Cash ook. 10. Agents must keep the money which they receive or collect for the Company by itself, and not mix it with their own, nor with money belonging to Wells, Fargo & Co's Express, the Western Union Telegraph Co., or any other company that they may be agents for. 11. The reports to be forwarded to the General Au- ditor are : Statement of Account (A. 1)-—daily. Statement of Account (A. 3)—monthly. Report of Freight on Hand (A. 5)—monthly. Tonnage Report (A. 15)—monthly. From a junction station, where business is done with a connecting or foreign road, a Statement of Settlement—daily. Money not to be taken into station account. How to be entered in Cash Book. Care in re- mitting. General Auditor to be notified of special remit- tances. Tags for special remittances. Other entries, how made. Company's money to he kept by itself. Reports to the General Auditor. Same from junction stations. Daily Statement of Account (A. 1), of what it consists. Freight and advance charges. Daily Statement of Settlement. 16 12. (a) The Daily Statement of Account (A. 1) is a summary report of each day’s business, and is made up from the Station Account Book. (b.) With the exception of freight charges payable at the station” and “freight charges prepaid at the sta- tion” being put together and all called “freight charges” on the statement, the amounts that appear on this re- port must be exactly the same as the balances from and to, and the footings of the Station Account Book, on and for the day the statement is made. (c) In putting the amounts on the Daily Statement, enter first at the top of the right-hand column of either the debit or credit side, as the case may be, the balance from last statement; then in the left-hand columns of both debit and credit side enter the other amounts and foot them into the right-hand columns, adding these footings to the balance from last and to next statement, to balance the account. (d.) Freight and advance charges must never, under any circumstances, be combined. 13. (a.) The Daily Statement of Settlement, required from junction stations, is to show in detail all the business done between this and other roads where the charges are not paid on delivery of freight, but are settled for through the general offices. (b.) A separate statement must be made for each road with which such business is done. (c) On the debit side of the statement must appear all way-bills and charges for freight delivered by, or re- ceived from the connecting road, and on the credit side, all way-bills and charges for freight delivered to that road. (d.) The difference between the debit and credit sides of the statement will be the balance due from or to the connecting road. (e.) When the balance is due to the other road it must be entered in the Station Account Book and on Daily Statement of Account as a “miscellaneous debit ” or receipt. (f) When due from the connecting road, it must be shown as a “ miscellaneous credit.” (9) Except in cases of charges on special way-bills to local points on this road, and of freight received from 17 the connecting road with charges and rebilled free or without advance charges, all the charges on the debit side of the statement should appear in detail on the credit side of the Station Account Book and Daily Freight Report, and in total on Daily Statement of Account as “ advance charges paid.” (kh) The charges on the credit side must show on the debit side of the above-mentioned book and reports as “ freight charges payable” or “advance charges pay- able at the station.” (i.) Instructions how to report special way-bills and dispose of same, will be given by the Freight Auditor. .) All the entries on this statement must pass through the Cash Book in regular form. 14. (a) The Monthly Statement of Account (A. 3) is a condensed report of the month’s work at a station. (b.) It shows the footings of each day’s business as entered in the Station Account Book during the month. (c) The “balance to next statement” must be the same as that of the last Daily Statement of Account in the month. (d) One of the principal objects of this report is to prove the correctness of the Daily Statements of Ac- count, and it should be made up in time to correct on the last Daily Statement any errors that may have been made during the month. (e.) The correctness of the balance should be tested by the addition of the footings of the columns on the debit side (except total debit) and the “ balance from last statement,” the sum being equal to the footing of total debit column. On the credit side, the sum of the foot- ings of the “advance charges paid” and cash remittance columns should be equal to the footing of the total credit column. Adding the “balance to next statement” to the latter should give the footing of the total debit column. The footings must be derived from actual ad- dition of the entries in the columns. 15. (a) The Monthly Report of Freight on Hand (A. 5) is a detailed statement of all the expense bills on hand on the last day of the month whether with charges prepaid or uncollected. (b.) The footing of the report must agree with Monthly State- ment of Account (A. 38), what it consists of. Monthly Report of Freight on Hand (A. 5.) Tonnage Report (A. 15.) Copies of reports reports are to be 18 amount of uncollected bills, as shown on last Daily Statement of Account for the month. ¢.) There must also be shown on the report (below the footing) all “over” and “unclaimed” freight, whether appearing on the books of the station or not. (d) Instructions showing how the report should be made will be found on the blank, and particular care must be taken to follow them. (e) The report is to be made in duplicate, the original to be forwarded to the General Freight Office and the duplicate to the General Auditor's Office. (f) Agents having way-bill presses can send duplicates on tissue 1mpression paper. 16. (a) The Tonnage Report (A. 15) is a monthly showing of the amount of freight received at and for- warded from a station, as per way-bills dated in the month, and by whom handled. (b.) Way-bills dated in one must not be reported in another month. (¢) Company coal and other Company freight, loaded by shipper and unloaded by coal-men or parties to whose care it is consigned, must be reported as handled by shipper or consignee, as the case may be. (d) A record must be kept of the number of section- men used at a station, and the number of hours they are occupied in loading and unloading freight not shipped by or consigned to the Track Department, the same to be shown in its proper place on the report. (¢) The headings of and instructions on the blank and Tonnage Blotter will explain how the report is to be made up. 17. Full copies of all monthly reports must be kept. The Monthly Statement of Account and Report of Freight on Hand should be copied in Station Account Book, the Tonnage Report in Freight Forwarded Book, and the Monthly Ticket, Sleeping-Car Ticket and Extra- Baggage Reports in Ticket Book. For this purpose one or two pages should be reserved in each of the books at the end of the month’s business. Agents having way- bill presses can take impression copies. 18. (a) The reports must be forwarded to the Gen- eral Office, San Francisco, as follows: 19 (b.) Daily Statement of Account and Daily Statement of Settlement at the very first opportunity offered either by passenger train, boat, messenger, or otherwise, after the close of the day’s business. (c) Monthly Statement of Account and Monthly Report of Freight on Hand, on the first day of the month after the one for which the reports are made. (d) Monthly Tonnage Report from stations doing a local business only, on or before the 15th, and from sta- tions doing both local and through or Eastern business, on or before the 20th of the month, after the one for which the report is made. (e.) Except when delivered in person, or by a mes- senger of the agent or Railroad Company, all reports and remittances are to be forwarded through Wells, Fargo & Company’s Express. 19. (a) Miscellaneous earnings include receipts not specially classified. (b.) Storage and demurrage charges, sale of “old horse” and damaged freight, payments for lost checks, etc., come under this head. (c.) Receipts for charter of engines alone should be classed as miscellaneous earnings, but those for charter of passenger cars should be included in ticket sales on Daily Statements of Account, same as on Ticket Report. (d)) All such receipts must be detailed on backs of Daily and Monthly Statements of Account—the same as in the Cash Book—and entered in total on face of state- ments. 20. (a) Agents must remit daily all cash on hand, with the exception of about twenty dollars, which may be held for change. (b.) There must be no deviation from this rule with- out the permission of the General Auditor, except when necessary to hold money to pay vouchers. In such cases agents must note in the space at the left of the signa- ture on Daily Statement of Account, “money held to to pay voucher,” stating amount and number of voucher. (c.) When an agent has a large amount of money on hand he will forward the same to Treasurer ahead of his reports, stating on Remittance Tag « On Daily State- ment of Account,” giving number and date. If there is an additional amount to remit when the reports are made large amount on up, take credit for both amounts on Daily Statement of Account, but make separate entries of same in space im- mediately below words “ Cash Remittance,” entering the total opposite those words. Care 21. (a.) Care should be exercised to have the num- : bers and dates on Remittance Tags agree with those on Daily Statements of Account, upon which credit is taken. (b.) The amount of remittance taken credit for on Daily Statement of Account and in Station Account Book must agree exactly (to the cent) with footing of Remittance Tag to the Treasurer. (c.) Particular care must be taken to have the money and papers remitted agree in kind and amount with the items entered on the Remittance Tag. Hoy f5 sake (4) Sometimes it happens that an agent remits in Cred tance. error a larger amount than he takes credit for on his Daily Statement, the Remittance Tag agreeing with money forwarded but not with statement. This error may be adjusted on a later date by deducting the differ- ence from the amount taken credit for on statement and remitting the remainder, the tag agreeing, as before, with the actual amount of the remittance forwarded. How bo remis 9 (e.) If an agent remits a less amount than he takes credit for on statement (the tag agreeing with remit- tance), he should forward the difference to Treasurer with a tag dated and numbered the same as the statement on which the error occurred. ) The above instructions do not apply to a difference between remittance and Remittance Tag, when the lat- ter agrees with amount taken credit for on Statement of Account. Choksaid we 22 (a.) Checks and drafts must not be taken in pay- received or ment of charges, nor remitted to the Treasurer unless remitted, excePt gyqwn on some San Francisco bank by parties known to be responsible. (b.) Drafts on private firms must not be taken nor re- mitted without the consent of the Treasurer. Chocks {0 be (c.) All checks must be drawn “to order” and properly order.” endorsed by the parties presenting and the agent remit- ting them. Agents (d) Agents will be held responsible for checks or responsible. 4 afts taken contrary to these instructions. 21 23. Attention is called to the following rule Government United States Treasury and Post Office hs is pie regard to drafts drawn by authorized officers: ; (a.) The name of the payee, as endorsed, must corre- Endorsement; spond in spelling with that on the face of the draft. No guarantee of an endorsement, imperfect in itself, can be accepted. If the name of a payee, as written on the face of a draft, is spelled incorrectly, the draft should be returned to the Treasurer of the United States for cor- rection. (b.)

INSTRUCTIONS IN RELATION TO FREIGHT ACCOUNTS, TAK- ING EFFECT JANUARY FIRST, EIGHTEEN HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-TWO. FREIGHT AUDITOR'S OFFICE, } San Francisco, January 1, 1882. That the freight accounts may be kept with uniformity, the following directions are given. FREIGHT RECEIVED. 1. Way-bills must always be delivered by conduct- ors to agents with the freight. Agents will note thereon at once the train, hour and date received, examine billing carefully, and see that it is correct in every particular—weights, rates, extensions, classifications and footings. Correct in red ink any errors found ; after which, enter the way-bill footings in Station Account Book. Make nq erasure on the way-bill, but make correction in such manner as to leave the original legible as it stood in error. Agents receiving goods will be held responsible for the correctness of way-bills. Attention is particularly called to this, as all undercharges will be charged to their per- sonal accounts, whether the charges are billed prepaid or not. Way-bills must be delivered by conductors to agents. Examination and correction of way-bills. Make no erasures on way-bills. Receiving agents responsible for correctness of way-bills. 42 Making expense Agents in making expense bills must always give oo Me. of their station and date, and fill in all details as per form furnished. NS oar 9. Whenever a way-bill is found on examination whom and how erroneous in any fl 4 and has been corrected as above, pone a correction must be made out on blank F. 9 and sent to the agent making the way-bill, and a copy on blank TF. 12 sent to this office. These F. 9 and F. 12) must bear same date as the Daily Freight Report (F. 33) on which the way-bill is reported. Reasonand su- In sending notices of corrections on way-bills, the rea- or teeta son for the correction must be given in every case, and sae where a special rate is used, the date and number of the order and the authority must invariably be given. Where corrections are made for short freight received Reforence to; billed with charges, or for freight where Jog ond reqirsd charges are included in another way-bill, reference mu be given to the way-bill on which first entered. Memoranda of Agents must keep memoranda of blanks (F. 9) sent F.9'ssent out. 4 and their return with acceptance of correction, that there may be no failure to advise agents making the way-bills. Shoulda blank (F. 9) not be returned within a reasonable time, the agent making it will send a copy, Questions be- with request for immediate attention. If a question ts as : 1 z tween aus to arises between agents as to a correction, refer the mat be reisrred to tor at once to this office for settlement. Supplementa 3. Should an error be discovered after way-bill has comecons. been reported on Daily Freight Report (F. 33), a supplementary correction sheet (F. 13) must be used to notify this office, agents being particular b out the same as per f blank, and to send blank When correction F. 9 to agent who made the way-bill. Where the error mustnotbe cults in an overcharge, and it cannot be refunded promptly, the correction must mot be made. This i (F. 13) must bear same number and date as the Daily Freight Report (F. 33) on which the correction is added or deducted. i Money refunded. Whenever money 1s refunded on account of such cor- rection, a receipt (F. 77) for the same must be sent in with blank F. 13; or if charges have not been col- lected, make proper ex lanation. : Correction re- No a can a made reducing charges after ducingcharges, same have been collected without original expense ball 43 bens Jguired : Si and the amount and date of “refund” endorsed thereon by the agent. A i (F. 77) must also be taken. 7 > re When way-bills are received bearing notation that Disposition of money has been or will be sent to apply, the agent will ay if money has not come to hand, collect full amount of charges as way-billed, and refund the money when it reaches him. If the money has been received, he will collect the difference between the total charges and the amount sent him to apply, receipt the expense bill for full amount of charges, and take consignee’s receipt for the amount applied. In every case the receipt must show the money as having been refunded, and these receipts must be sent to this office. 4. Advances (or back charges) must not be changed Advances and without an order from forwarding agent, or from this Do ase 0 ffi ce. changed. Prepaid charges must not be changed. The amount Do as billed should be the same as he and must ei If it is less than the correct amount, add the difference to the way-bill as freight charges collect. » 5. Agents making way-bills void, or changing destina- Making wa-bills tion, must send proper correction sheets the same as for foc. any other correction. 6. In examining way-bills make the extensions exact Minimum for (taking the half cent), but no correction need be made hig for less than five (5) cents. gsnsions need Through way-bills (to and from stations on U. P. Ry., A, T. & S. F. R. R. or Texas and Pacific Ry.) will be figured to the exact extension, but no correction need be made for less than ten (10) cents. Errors in addition must be corrected to the exact cent. 7. All way-bills must be entered in Station Account Entering way- Book, whether free or not, the same day as received hiacais unless otherwise directed from this office, and where : practicable, after being checked with the freight, so as to detect any differences there may be in weight, contents of packages, etc., beginning with those from San Fran- cisco, and thence eastward, following the order given in list of stations. Daily Freight Reports are to be copies Daily Freight Report. How entries on Station Account Book are to be made. Entry of supple- mentary correc- tions. Way-bills which are not to be re- ceived or entered in station ac- counts. Receipt of goods from points where there are ‘no agents, how to be treated. Numbering of way-bills from stations without agents. Treatment of freight billed in error. A 44 of entries in Station Account Book, and no entry should appear on report that is not shown in book. (See Rule 21.) In entering the way-bills in Station Account Book, put the date of the day’s business on the right-hand margin of each way-bill in such a manner that it can be readily seen in turning over the leaves of the Way-bill Book. This will be a great convenience in referring from one book to the other. ~ Supplementary corrections should be written in the Station Account Book, giving full reference to way-bills or Daily Freight Reports corrected thereby, adding to or deducting from footings of columns in book, the same as on Daily Freight Report. 8. Agents must not receive nor enter in their accounts, unless by special order, any way-bills not actually billed to their stations, except destination has been changed by competent authority ; in which case, send proper correc- tion sheets, the same as for other corrections. 9. Whenever an agent receives any goods forwarded from a private station or place where there is no agent, accompanied by a shipping bill (F. 30), or a conduc- tor's report of freight without way-bills (F. 51), he must make a way-bill, enter it into his account, and send a duplicate to this office, putting the blank on file for future reference. [It is always the duty of the con- ductor to hand in with such freight a blank F. 30 or F. 51 properly filled out.] The numbering of such way- bills must be separate and distinct from all others, and in this wise: The first one made out in the year should be numbered “ M. 1;” the second “M. 2,” and so on consecu- tively to the end of the year, irrespective of station from which received. 10. When freight is billed in error to a station, agent must correct the way-bill by blanks F. 9 and F. 12, making the entry void. In billing the same to proper destination, note on way-bill where received from, with number and date of way-bill on which received. If there are advances (or back charges) following the property, mention the fact, stating the amount on your way-bill, as a guide to the receiving agent, who will take charge of the property and get a way-bill from proper 45 shipping station. The agent receiving blank F. 9 for such correction, will at once accept the correction, and make a new way-bill to the proper destination, giving reference to the way-bill on which entry was first made. 11. When goods are received in excess of way-bill they must not at once be added to it by correction sheets : but having been reported “over,” a way-bill must be sent from shipping station, or an order given to add to the proper way-bill, except where consignee shows a receipt given by shipping agent covering both the property way-billed and the property found “over ;” in which case report it “over,” and add to way-bill by blanks F. 9 and F. 12, making proper explanations. : When freight is received upon a free way-bill as freight over,” and the proper way-bill with weight and charges is not at hand, measures must at once be taken to get the same from original point of shipment, and the property must not be delivered until such way-bill is re- ceived, unless consignee shows a receipt given by ship- ping agent for it, and will guarantee to pay charges when bill 1s presented. Such property must be reported “over” when first received, and disposition given after way-bill is received. 12. Way-bill boards (F. 57) are furnished for filing way-bills received, and are to be used in this wise: Where the total number of way-bills received in one month does not exceed two hundred and fifty, paste them all on one board, in same order as entered on Station Account Book day by day, the pasting not to be done until the way-bills are entirely finished—having been examined, checked and entered in Station Account Book and Tonnage Blotter, etc. Where the number received is greater than above named, agents may make separate books of consecutive day’s way-bills, keeping them all of a uniform size, not exceeding three books for one month’s business. In pasting the way-bills, first lay out as many as will make one sheet the size of the way-bill board (no larger), after lapping the upper edge of the second one upon the lower edge of the first, and so on; then with mucilage dampen the back of the upper edge and lap it upon the face of the lower edge of the way-bill above. If the Freight received in excess of way-bill. Disposition of ‘‘ freight over ” billed free. Proper use of way-bill boards. Manner of past- ing way-bills. Way-bills out- ward. How to be made out. Billing at mini- mum charge. Where a rate different from tariff is used. Numbers of cars. Changing car number on way-bill. 46 writing on the way-bill above comes so near to the bot- tom that the next way-bill cannot be lapped upon it, lay the edges together and paste a strip of paper underneath them. Use but little gaum—it will dry quicker, and will not draw the paper so much in drying. When the way- bills are all dry in sheets, as above described, paste the sheets into the Way-bill Book by dampening the back of the left-hand margin and laying it upon the board, lay- ing the next sheet upon that, and so on. After books have become three months old, the way-bill board can be taken off and used again for a new book. —in. FREIGHT FORWARDED. 138. Make your way-bills strictly in accordance with blank forms, giving consignor’s name, and consignee's address in full, with all marks on the Dipping ae or roperty, skipping one line between each consignment. b Give yn oa of each particular kind of article, so far as can be ascertained, and be particular to see that freight going at different rates is not mixed on way-bill. Never put two items on one line. Agents having scales must know that the weight as billed is correct. Where weight cannot be taken it must be stated on way-bill as estimated. a When a consignment is billed at the minimum charge of twenty-five cents, or any other established minimum, note in rate column “8S,” and when the weight is less than one hundred pounds, it is billed at that figure, giv- ing the actual weight upon the way-bill and entering « Est. 100,” extension being made at proper rate. In every case where the rate used is different from the tariff rate, give the number and date of the order and the authority for such special rate; and where the rate is issued to some particular party, his name must also appear upon the way-bill. ; Make exact extensions as per Rule 6. The number of the car in which freight goes forward must invariably be entered on original and duplicate way-bills. Should it be necessary, for any reason, for an agent to change the car number on his way-bill before car 47 leaves his station, he will make full explanation of the circumstance on both original and duplicate way-bills, signing his name thereto, for the information of all persons through whose hands the way-bill and freight may pass. Should any disagreement be discovered between way- bill and car, as to number of any car which may be left at a way-station, while en-route, the circumstances must be reported, at once, to the Division Superintendent, by telegraph, and under no circumstances must any change be made therein, without explicit instructions from Div- ision Office. The authority for all such changes must be noted on way-bill, with date and place where alteration is made. Freight charges on consignments from different con- signors to the same consignee, must not be figured together. Two or more consignors may make up a car- load shipment to one consignee at car-load rate, but only one receipt must be given, however, and the freight must go forward as though all belonging to one party. The term “merchandise ” must not be used to describe freight. Agents should refuse to accept consignments unless actual contents of packages are given. When determining what stations are provided with freight agents, the « Official List ” issued from the Gen-. eral Auditor's Office must be used. 14. When freight is prepaid, be careful to bill it cor- rectly, writing the word “Prepaid” over the amount plainly, to prevent mistakes. The amount billed should always be the amount collected. In forwarding goods to stations without agents (not free freight), the way-bill must read prepaid, and the amount will be charged to the agent making the way- bill. No way-bill to a station as above may be made reading “ weight and charges to follow.” When advances (or back charges paid out) are omit- ted from the way-bill, agents will at once telegraph to destination, and order the same added. But the amount must not be entered in Station Account Book nor credit taken until advice is received that advances can be collected. In billing freight, where the weight and charges have gone forward, reference must invariably be given to the Separation of freight charges. Freight de- scribed as ‘‘mer- chandise” not to be received. General Audi- tor’s Official List of Agents. Prepaid freight. Forwarding goods to stations without agents. Advances omit- ted on way-bill, how to be treated. Billing freight where treignt and charges have gone for- ward, or are to follow. Respecting bill- ing of live stock. Shipments at ‘“ owner's risk.” Forms of re- lease. Freight charges guaranteed. Duplicate way- bills. Press copies of way-bills. 48 way-bill on which the property is accounted for. Also, in billing freight that has gone forward with weight and charges to follow, reference must always be given to the way-bill on which the property went forward. 15. When live stock is offered for shipment, agents must explain to shipper the nature of a stock contract, and the difference in rate made thereby, allowing him to choose at which rate he will ship. In billing the stock, note on way-bill “Shipped under contract” or “ Contract refused,” as the case may be. Agents signing contract giving a rate not correct will, if the same results in a loss to the Company, be liable for the difference. 16. In shipment of goods that are noted in classifica- tion as at “ owner's risk,” the same rule in regard to re- leases must be observed as is given for contracts in shipments of live stock, except way-bill must read “Re- leased” or “Release refused.” If shipment is made under a monthly release, note on way-bill “Monthly re- lease,” and give the date thereof. The form of shipping receipt and order (F. 81) now in use contains a release clause; this is sufficient in the case of freight which is not destined to some point reached via U. P. Ry., A, T. and S. F. R. R. or Texas and Pacific Ry. Through eastbound shipments, however, must be covered by a special release (F. 19 or F. 29), copy of which must be sent to this office. 17. In billing goods where the charges are guaranteed instead of prepaid, note on way-bill “ Guaranteed ” where the guarantee is signed for the single shipment; and where a monthly guarantee is used, make notation on way-bill “ Monthly guarantee” and give the date thereof. Attention is called to the execution of guaranties. The signature of shipper alone is not sufficient; it must also be signed by some other responsible party. 18. Duplicates of all way-bills forwarded from a sta- tion must be sent to this office on the day they are made out. Agents having copying-presses will make press copies on tissue sheets furnished for that purpose, in consecu- tive order of way-bill numbers, keeping way-bills of each month on separate sheets; copies to be made at the same 49 time in tissue Freight Forwarded Book. Press copies must always be made of the original way-bill before it leaves a station. Agents having no presses must make copies of all way-bills, in like order, in Freight Forwarded Book, and afterwards a written duplicate on proper blank; such written duplicate must be a copy of the original way-bill as it leaves the station. Agents must examine their original way-bills and know that they are correct before taking impressions or entering in Freight Forwarded Book. Nearly all errors can be detected in this manner, and are therefore inex- cusable if permitted to pass. 19. Agents must commence a new series for all way- bill numbers at first of each year. Agents making upon an average no more than one hundred way-bills per month will continue the consecu- tive order throughout the year. Agents making from one hundred to two hundred and fifty way-bills per month will commence again at number one, on first of July. Agents making from two hundred and fifty to five hundred way-bills per month will commence again at number one on first of April, July and October; and agents making over five hundred way-bills per month will commence a new series each month. Through line way-bills will be numbered consecutively throughout the year, making a separate series for those via U. P. Ry. via A., T. and S. F. R. R. and via Texas and Pacific Ry. All way-bills made (free or otherwise) must bear a number, and agents are particularly requested to avoid duplicating or skipping numbers. Should they discover any vrreqularity in the numbering of their way-bills, they will at once notify this office to prevent inquiries. Agents must make no way-bills except for freight either from their stations (as per Rule 13), or to their stations (as per Rule 9), and no freight must be allowed to leave a station without a way-bill being made for it. .20. Enter in Station Account Book, after freight received, in consecutive order of numbers, footings of such way-bills as contain items of prepaid charges or advances (back charges paid out), also free way-bills to stations without agents. None other than as above should be entered. Agents having no copying- presses. Original way- bills to be care- fully examined New series of way-bills, Consecutive numbering of way-bills. When a new series will commence. No freight to leave a station without a way- bill. Other entries in Station Account Book. Manner of mak- ing out Freight Report. Corrections by F. 13, how taken into ac- count. 50 DAILY FREIGHT REPORT. 21. On this report (F. 383) first enter all way-bills received (see Rule 7), then all way-bills forwarded (see Rule 20.) At the foot of the report enter the supplementary cor- rection sheet (F. 138), if any, on proper line, and add to or deduct from the footing of the column which is corrected. After taking account of S. S. C. (F. 13) add the totals of “freight charges” column and “prepaid charges” column together, and put the amount in summary “ freight charges” at bottom of blank. Carry down also the items of “advances” (or back charges) to their proper places in summary, and any other separate items of debit or credit there may be. 22. Use care to keep “freight charges” and “ad- vances ” (or back charges) entirely separate. They must never be put together. All errors must be corrected in the columns in which they occur, except in the following cases : Should it so happen that an agent has not sufficient “prepaid charges” from which to deduct a S. S. C. (F. 13), he may deduct it from “freight charges collect,” and should it be necessary to make a deduction from “freight charges,” amounting to more than his debit in “freight charges ” for thé day, he may retain such way-bills as he has, and need not report those received until he has bills with sufficient “ freight charges” from which to make the deduction; provided, that in every case where this is done, notice must be given to this office of the way-bills held from day to day. This rule is imperative, and vio- lations of it will not be allowed. Should an agent have orders to make a larger deduction from “advances” (or back charges) than the amount he has in the day’s business, he will make the S. S. C. (F. 13) in due form and add the amount of the correc- tion to the opposite side of advances account; for instance, if he wishes to reduce his debit, an addition to his credit is the same; or, if he wishes to reduce the credit, adding the amount to his debit makes it correct. This must never be done when the usual method is prac- ticable, and agents will be particular to make full expla- nation of this deviation, both in Station Account Book and on blanks F. 13 and F. 33. 23. When an error is discovered in a Daily Freight Report, it can only be corrected by use of blank F. 13, adding or deducting, as the case may be, the amount in error to or from a subsequent report. Corrected reports will not be accepted, unless especially authorized. 24. Daily Freight Reports will be numbered consecu- tively from No. 1 upwards, commencing January 1st, and to continue throughout the year. Be particular not to make an error by skipping or duplicating numbers; when an error is made, correct it in next report by tak- ing the proper number for that date, and advise this office. Make no report for Sunday business, but report it under date of Monday following. 25. An agent must first write up his Station Account Book, then strike a balance in his Cash Book for the day’s business, and see that it, with the uncollected bills, balances the station account, after which make out Daily Freight and other reports. Never copy the foot- ings from the book on to the report; by adding up the columns on the report many errors in copying can be detected. Agents, after the reports are finished, should make examination to see if they are like the Station Account Books in number, date and amount of each column. They will be careful to see that all papers relating to the day’s business are of one date and properly indorsed, and that the same are forwarded at one time. Inclose these papers in separate envelope from train receipts, origi- nal way-bills, conductor’s reports, ete. 26. Agents must attend promptly to all notices and correspondence from this office, must make all proper corrections without delay, and follow carefully the in- structions given on the blanks relative to the use of the same. In case of doubt, always ask for advice before proceeding. It is also particularly enjoined upon all to adopt a systematic méthod in their work. Error in Daily Freight Report, how corrected.

All Company freight should be marked, and must be billed to C. P. R. R,, in CARE of the person to whom it is addressed. Pacific Improvement or Southern Development Com- pany’s freight must not be billed as C. P. R. R. freight, but with charges to collect, except to a station without an agent, when way-bill must read prepaid. CONDUCTORS REPORTS, ETC. 28. Conductors must be particular to fill out their reports strictly according to blank form, giving the number of every car in train in body of report, using care that car numbers and station numbers are correctly given. This is very important, as the mileage of each car is taken separately from report. It is To very important that initials of cars be cor- rectly given; if given in error, mileage is credited to the wrong company. Always give full marks of foreign cars, and let those determine to whom they belong ; if necessary, take two lines on report for such entries. It does not follow that a car painted blue is a “ Blue Line ” car, as has been reported. Should any disagreement be discovered between way- bill and car, as to car number, the circumstance must be reported, at once, to the Division Superintendent by telegraph, and under no circumstances must any change be made therein without explicit instructions from Div- ision Office. The authority for all such changes must be noted on way-bill, with date and place where altera- tion is made. 29. Freight taken from a station without an agent, with a shipping bill (F. 30), or for which blank F. 51 has been made out, must be reported on car report in proper manner, and should the freight be destined to a station without an agent, the conductor will charge therefor, and make note of same on report, and on blank 53 F. 30 or F. 51, remitting money to Treasurer as collection on freight. The blank is to be indorsed and sent to this office when property is left at destination. 30. All way-bills to stations without agents must be signed and returned to this office by conductor deliver- ing the freight, with an indorsement showing date of such delivery and condition of the property. Envelopes specially adapted to the enclosing of these way-bills may be obtained from Division Superin- tendents. Way-bills to sta- tions without agents. Envelopes, where obtained.

The rules and regulations governing charges on transportation, demurrage, storage, liability as to loss . and damage, &c., as regards the general public, will apply on Government shipments also. 2. Shipments to be considered as Government freight should invariably be accompanied by Government Bill of Lading. When not so accompanied they will be treated as private shipments. 3. Freight from or to points on the California and Oregon Division must be covered by two bills of lading, one covering transportation on C. & O. Division and the other on C. P. R. R. or its leased lines. Between other points one bill of lading is sufficient. 4. In receiving U. S. Government freight for trans- portation, check it carefully against the bill of lading, seeing that the number of packages and weight as given on bill of lading compare with actual shipment, noting on bill of lading any and all instances of “bad order,” insecurity of packages, etc, and any other notation necessary for your own protection in case of question, signing your name to such notations in addition to sign- ing the bill of lading. 5. When freight is received in car-load lots, the bill of lading must show by whom loading is done. When loaded by the Government, notation must be made « Loaded by Government ; R. R. Company not responsible for quantity.” 6. Government Bills of Lading consist of an original and duplicate. Both must be presented to the Company along with the freight. After signing, the original must be forwarded by mail to agent at destination ; the duplicate must be returned to the shipper, who will send it by mail to the person to whom the Company is ex- pected to make delivery of the freight. In the instance, however, of shipments for the Indian Department, both: the original and duplicate should be sent to agent at des- tination. 55 7. No advances must be made on Government freight. 8. In way-billing, note Sppoghs each consignment “ Government Bill of Lading No. » 9. In delivering freight, see that the weights receipted for by the accomplishing officer agree with Company’s weights. Articles not called for by bill of lading must not be delivered until a bill of lading covering them is received, or charges are paid in cash. Officer's receipt must show number of horses and wagons, and weight of other freight when shipped together. Receipt must also show time of demurrage, or storage, and amount of same, if there be any, and all other charges which may be due the Company on the shipment, as for unloading, ete. in which case it should be stated “ Unloaded by R. R. Co., charge $ Also, if the transportation has been furnished by special train, by passenger train, or any other than freight train, this fact should be stated on bill of lading by issuing officer, and must be so stated by accomplishing officer. 10. After being accomplished, the original bill of lading should be remitted along with expense bill to Treasurer as cash. 11. All expense bills remitted to the Treasurer as cash should be stamped or receipted as “paid.” Con- signees of Government freight should not be furnished with expense bill. If way-bill is corrected after having remitted expense bill, in case of reduction of charges, send money to Treasurer as special remittance to make good the overcredit; if charges are increased, remit ex- pense bill for additional charges as cash. 12. Requests for passenger transportation must show in certificate the full number of persons and all extra baggage carried, but no passenger or baggage must be carried im excess of the number and weight authorized in body of the request. Also, if transportation is furnished by special train, the fact should be so stated on the re- quest by the party accomplishing same. 13.

Freight not taken away promptly will be adver- tised and sold for charges, as provided by law, or sold at the expense of the owner. Perishable articles, if not taken away by consignee, when there isrisk of decay or loss, will be sold or disposed of at the discretion of the Company. (See Rule 50.) BF See “ Instructions to Agents” for rules that must be strictly adhered to. : Arts SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO AGENTS. The general rules and conditions of transportation are for your guidance, and for the information of ship- pers and consignees; make yourself familiar with, and observe them carefully ; you will be held accountable for any losses that may occur from neglecting them. RECEIVING PROPERTY FOR TRANSPORTATION. 22. Require consignors to furnish you shipping re- ceipts in duplicate, ready to be signed. Before you sign a receipt see that it is properly filled up, every article described, the goods well packed, in good con- dition for transportation, and legibly marked as per rule. (See Rule 63.) Agents are required to issue receipts for all transient shipments, that delivering agents may know whether parties claiming goods are entitled to re- ceive them. When no allow- ance for damage will be made. How grain must be shipped. Cooperage. When freight must be prepaid. When freight will be sold. Rules to be strictly adhered to. To agents. Respecting re- ceiving freight. Must be properly marked before being receipted for. Erasing old marks. Checking freight before receipting therefor. Weight to be specified. Freight for ints off the ine of road. Receiving freight in bad order. Destination of freight not to be changed except upon certain conditions. 96 (2) Loss frequently arises from the imperfect as well as the improper marking of property ; agents will there- fore see that all property delivered to them for shipment is fully, clearly and properly marked, as above required, before they give a receipt for the same. No excuse can be accepted for any omission that may occur. When these requirements are not complied with agents must refuse to receive the property for shipment. (See Rule 6.) (3) Property is frequently packed in second-hand boxes and barrels, and offered for shipment without the original marks being obliterated or erased. All such marks must be obliterated or erased. (4) You must in all cases before signing, count and check each article upon the duplicate receipt, and care- fully compare the duplicate with the original receipt to see that they agree. When receiving freight that is liable to pilferage, have it handled, and be satisfied that it has not been tampered with. No excuse can be accepted from an agent for neglecting this. (See Rule 53.) (6.) Receipts for merchandise, hardware and groceries must specify the weight of packages separately. (6.) FREIGHT DESTINED TO POINTS OFF THE LINE OF THIS ROAD MUST ONLY BE RECEIPTED FOR TO THE STATION WHERE IT LEAVES THE ROAD, and agents must be par- ticular to have the receipt properly filled up, giving the name of the station from which the property is shipped, and the station at which it leaves the road. For rates to points off this road apply to General Freight Agent. (7.) Freight must not be received in bad order. If offered in bad order by any connecting line, agents must first require such connecting line to put it in good order, and they must then carefully weigh it and note the de- ficiency on the receipt and also on the way-bill, billing the same as “re-coopered.” (8.) After goods are delivered to the Company to be forwarded they become the property of the consignee, and the destination must not afterward be changed, unless the Company is required to change it by process of law. If agents are ordered by shippers not to deliver property to consignees, they will hold the same, refer the request to the General Freight Agent and ask for in- structions, giving reference to billing. If goods are 97 attached or seized by any civil officer, see Par. 1, Rule 50 for instructions. (9.) In case shippers refuse to comply with the Com- pany’s rules concerning freight tendered for transporta- tion, you will refuse to receive their property, and notify the General Freight Agent of your action. (10.) Such freight as household goods, personal effects in boxes, (trunks or boxes with locks, except chests of tools, will not be received by Eastern lines), samples of seed, trees and shrubbery, all small shipments, perish- able goods, and goods of uncertain value, when destined to points beyond Ogden, Deming and El Paso, MUST BE PREPAID THROUGH from point of shipment, and when necessary released. Before receipting for such property, agents will ascer- tain particulars as to weight, contents (the term “mer- chandise” must not be used) and destination, and telegraph these facts to agents as below, who will name the amount to be collected, and give other necessary information. Agents north of Marysville will telegraph to the Marys- ville agent for information. Agents on Cal. Pacific, the Oregon Div. south of Marys- ville, and all points west of Sacramento (except San Fran- cisco, Stockton, San Jose and Oakland, 16th St.) and south as far as Tipton, inclusive, will telegraph to Sacramento. Agents south of Tipton, as far as Colorado River, will telegraph to Los Angeles. Agents on S. & C. R. R. will telegraph to Stockton. Agents on main line of C. P. R. R. west of Winne- mucca, inclusive, will telegraph to Sacramento, except when shipment is for a point on U. P. Ry. west of Chey- enne, in which case they will telegraph to Ogden. Agents east of Winnemucca will also telegraph to Ogden. Hereafter any delay or damage resulting from non- compliance with these ingtructions will be charged to the agent at fault. : Attention of shippers should be called to the fact that no shipment overland is taken for less than the rate on 100 ibs., and small shipments, say 40 Ibs. or less, can be sent as cheaply and more expeditiously by express. Charges on all samples of ore, or lots less than a car load, except when taking car-load rates to complete a shipment, MUST BE PREPAID —guaranties will not be accepted. When freight is to be refused.

Agents will use caution in accepting guaranties, as they will be held personally responsible for validity of same should property be refused or fail to bring amount of charges at forced sale. : Charges on acids of all kinds in carboys, and on empty poultry coops and similar packages, returning, must be prepaid. : Butter boxes and similar packages, fastened by a hasp and staple, will not be received for shipment, unless locked or otherwise properly secured. The term “bedding” must not be used—to be de- scribed either as mattresses or blankets. When receiving for shipment trunks, chests or other packages secured by locks, the locks, hinges and fasten- ings should be carefully examined, and their condition noted on shipping receipts and way-bills. When locks are hidden by flaps or outside wrappers, the coverings should be removed for this purpose if necessary. Keys must not be attached to the packages, but should be detached and sent in some other manner. (11) The California State Law, approved April 1, 1878, reads as follows: Section 1. It shall be unlawful to disinter or ex- hume from a grave, vault, or other burial place, the body or remains of any deceased person, unless the person or persons so doing shall first obtain from the Board of Health, Health Officer, Mayor, or other head of the municipal government of the city, town, or city and county where the same are deposited, a permit for said purpose. Nor shall such body or remains disinterred, exhumed, or taken from any grave, vault, or other place of burial or deposit, be removed or transported in or through the streets or highways of any city, town, or city and county, unless the person or persons removing or transporting such body or remains shall first obtain from the Board of Health or Health Officer (if such Board or Officer there be) and from the Mayor or other head of the municipal government of the city or town, or city and county, a permit, in writing, so to remove or transport such body or remains in and through such streets and highways. 99 Sec. 2. Permits to disinter or exhume the bodies or remains of deceased persons, as in the last section, may be granted, providing the person applying therefor shall produce a certificate from the Coroner, the physician who attended such deceased person, or other physician in good standing cognizant of the facts, which certificate shall state the cause of death or disease of which the person died, and also the age and sex of such deceased; and provided, further, that the body or remains of deceased shall be inclosed in a metallic case or coffin, sealed in such manner as to prevent, as far as practicable, any noxious or offensive odor or effluvia escaping there- from, and that such case or coffin contains the body or remains of but one person, except where infant children of the same parent or parents, or parent and children are contained in such case or coffin. And the permit shall contain the above conditions and the words, “Permit to remove and transport the body of age sex ” and the name, age, and sex shall be written therein. * * i * x * * SEC. 8. Any person or persons who shall disinter, exhume, or remove, or cause to be disinterred, exhumed, or removed from a grave, vault or other receptacle or burial place, the body or remains of a deceased person, without a permit therefor, shall be guilty of a misde- meanor, and be punished by fine not less than fifty nor more than five hundred dollars, or by imprisonment in the County Jail for not less than thirty days, nor more than six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment. Nor shall it be lawful to receive such body, bones, or remains on any vehicle, car, barge, boat, ship, steamship, steamboat, or vessel, for transportation in or from this State, unless the permit to transport the same is first received, and is retained in evidence by the owner, driver, agent, superintendent, or master of the vehicle, car, or vessel. SEC. 4. Any person or persons who shall move or transport, or cause to be moved or transported on or through the streets or highways of any city or town, or city and county, of this State, the body or remains of a deceased person, which shall have been disinterred or exhumed without a permit, as described in section two of this Act, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and be punishable as provided in section three of this Act.

Any person who shall give information to secure the conviction of any person or persons for the violation of the provisions of this Act, shall be entitled to receive the sum of twenty-five dollars, to be paid from the fund collected from fines imposed and accruing under this Act. SEC. 6. Nothing in this Act contained shall be taken to apply to the removal of the remains of deceased persons from one place of interment to another cemetery or place of interment within the same county; provided, that no permit shall be issued for the disinterment or removal of any body, unless such body has been buried for two years. Sec. 7. This Act shall take effect and be in force from the thirtieth day after its passage and approval. Hereafter agents will be held accountable for a strict observance of the requirements of this law, as the Health Officers of this city now refuse to grant a permit, either for the burial or shipment of the remains of any person, unless a proper certificate is obtained at the starting point and accompanies the remains. In places where there is no Board of Health or Mayor, the certificate of a physician should be obtained. Where no physician is to be found, a Coroner, Justice of the Peace or other responsible official can grant it. This certificate should be attached to the burial case and accompany the remains to destination. Agents at stations outside of California will be care- ful to see that above regulations are complied with on all bodies shipped to points within the State. 93. All articles noted in this classification at “owner's risk ” must be so receipted for in full, and you must be careful to see that shippers understand the conditions on which such articles are received. Note on way-bill covering such freight “ Owner's risk.” All liquors and liquids will be transported only at owner's risk of leak- age, and must be released. 24. When carriages not boxed are shipped, agents will be careful to see that no loose articles, such as cush- ions, harness, whips, etc., are left in them. Such articles must be boxed and shipped by themselves. 101 925. Freight loaded by the owners, when quantity is GnEen o unknown, must be rei for and ete) co or tities less” or “ shippers count,” as the case may be. Agents will note on receipts in such cases “ Company not respon- sible for quantity.” The attention of station agents, wharfingers, train Transportation conductors and clerks of steamers is called to the fact : that it is by law a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of from 200 to 250 dollars, to “ catch, have in possession or transport” SALMON during the month of August. All employees are hereby instructed to refuse any fish offered for shipment in violation of the law above men- tioned. 1 i 1 October 10, "83, Until further notice, you may receive and forward Octererio. owa 1 1 1 1 Liquor any and all liquors consigned to points in the State of Liaw : Requirements. Towa. This repeals the requirements pertaining thereto, set forth on page 101, Rule 26, of Rules, Regulations and Instructions to Agents, and should be pasted in book over same. Agents, conductors and all employees charged with Examination of the duty of receiving freight for transportation will be careful to examine all packages containing high wines, rectified spirits, whiskies, American brandies and foreign brandies, (except only when the latter are in the original imported package), in packages containing five gallons or more, and ale, beer, lager beer, porter, and other similar fermented liquors which may be offered for shipment, to ascertain whether they are duly stamped according to law. Be particular to note whether the number of gallons called for by the stamp, in the case of distilled spirits, or the amount of the tax, if it be fermented liquor, agree in your estimation with the number of gallons contained in the package. If the packages con- taining liquor, ete., to see if they conform to the law. Tobe refused if they do not. or packages to be 102 kages are unstamped, or stamped for a less quantity of liquor than the cask contains, you will refuse to receive it, and notify shippers to that effect. The stamps which should be used are as follows: For rectified or distilled spirits, an engraved stamp signed by the Internal Revenue Collector and the United States Gauger, stating the name of the rectifier and dealer, the date when affixed and the number of proof gallons contained in a cask, which should be affixed to the head of the cask or package. If it be fermented liquor, the stamp should be affixed to the spigot or tap hole, and denote the amount of the tax, based upon the following schedule: For a package containing 3% gallons, or less... $ .12% More than 3% and not more than 5} gallons... .16% 53 « «© 7% «© Se .25 72 * 0 << ... .533 «© « 10¢ - woo... .50 150 = 51° « ... 1.00 31 “ 63 ®« ... 2.00 It is also ordered that no empty cask or package which has been used to contain taxable liquors, as herein- before named, and bearing the mark, stamp or brand of the U. S. Internal Revenue Department, shall, under any circumstancés, he received for transportation unless such mark, stamp or brand shall have been obliterated and effaced, as per section 3324, Revised Statutes, which reads: « * * * * and every Railroad Company, “ or other transportation company, or person who receives “ or transports, or has in possession, with intent to trans- “ port, or with intent to cause or procure to be trans- « ported, any such empty cask or package, or any part " « thereof, having thereon any brand, mark or stamp re- « quired by law to be placed on any cask or package con- “ taining distilled spirits, shall forfeit three hundred « dollars ($300.00) for each such cask or package, or any « part thereof, so received or transported, or had in « possession with the intent aforesaid.” It is important that this order be strictly obeyed, and all packages and stamps carefully examined, as the law imposes the above severe penalty upon any individual violating, or aiding or abetting a violation of it. 108 Employees will be held personally responsible for vio- lation of these instructions. SHIPMENT OF BRANDY “ IN BOND.” As the Act relating to the production of fruit brandy and spirits, approved March 3, 1877, also governs the movement of such freight while in the possession of the carrier, agents will carefully observe the following directions: On receipt of brandy or spirits in bond, 4. e., from a distillery or bonded warehouse, consigned to another warehouse, the agent will sign not less than five Govern- ment Bills of Lading, which must be made out by ship- pers, one of which the agent will retain. Shipments must be consigned to an officer of Internal Revenue, and the fact of its being in bond must be noted on way-bill. The agent at destination will not surrender the freight except on the order of the Collector of In- ternal Revenue of the district in which the warehouse is located, the order to be duly indorsed on the back of one of the bills of lading. The absence of “duty paid stamps ” on the packages is evidence that packages are, or should be, in bond. Agents who need the bills of lading above referred to will make requisition on the stationery department of C. P. R. R. for “ Government Bills of Lading No. 5.” It is important that these orders be strictly obeyed, and all packages and stamps carefully examined, as the law imposes severe penalties upon any individual viola- ting, or aiding or abetting a violation of it. RECEIVING AND LOADING LIVE STOCK. 27. When cars are furnished to load with live stock the agent must notify the shippers that the rules as per Stock Contract (F. 28) will be strictly adhered to, and see that the rates and terms are clearly understood by shippers before accepting their signatures to contract. (2) When loading live stock, count the number of head in each car, and enter the same on each way-bill. See that cars are not crowded to excess, especially with light cattle, and that cars are not overloaded with heavy cattle. Hogs and sheep must not be loaded in same car Shipments of brandy in bond. Bills of lading therefor. To whom to be consigned and delivered. Evidence of being in bond. Requisition for Government Bills of Lading Penalties. Shipment of live stock. Signing con- tracts.

Facilities for care of stock. Imperfect locks. Shippers to examine cars. 104 with horses, mules or cattle, unless separated by a parti- tion; when so loaded at request of shipper, he must bear the expense of erecting partition. (3) Our contracts require the shipper to load and unload stock at his own risk. Require contracts to be signed in duplicate in all cases, the shipper to retain one marked “copy” across the face, the other to be forwarded to the Freight Auditor by first passenger train. (4) Agents will see that cars furnished are in good order. Live stock, unless boxed or crated, must not be loaded in a car with merchandise of any kind, unless separated from it by a substantial partition, or otherwise so secured as to admit of no possible damage to either from contact with the other. When in less than car loads, all animals should be securely tied, whether there is merchandise in car or not, and agents will be held strictly accountable for any meglect of this precaution. (6.) When cars are loaded the doors must be examined and made secure from bursting open; many cattle have been lost out, the doors not having been well fastened. (6.) When cars are found to be overloaded at destina- tion, or places for unloading or transfer, excess weight will be charged therefor, in addition to the car price, at first-class rates per one hundred pounds. (7.) All damages by so overloading must be at the risk of the owner or shipper. (8) No “return ” passes are to be issued to drovers, nor are their passes with stock to be endorsed by agents “Good on passenger train.” For further information under this head, see Live Stock Classification and special notice on Stock Contract. (9.) Station agents will see that men in charge of live stock have proper facilities for the care of same. (10.) Claims for loss of live stock through end-doors of cars have become frequent; this loss has been caused in many cases by locks being imperfect and coming open en-route. While the terms of Stock Contract (F. 28) require shippers “to examine cars in which it is proposed to load stock, and to assume all risk arising from defect in the bodies of cars, or from imperfect doors or fastenings,” agents are not relieved from the duty of seeing that cars are in good order, and examining them when loaded to see that doors are properly seeured. (See Secs. 4 and 5.) Agents are charged with the duty of testing all locks and other fastenings of cars. When locks are found imperfect or liable to shake open, the doors should be cleated or otherwise secured. When the above precautions are neglected, agents will be held responsible for any losses of live stock loaded at their stations. Agents at points where stock is rested or transferred will be charged with this duty the same as if stock originated at their stations. Conductors taking live stock from stations without agents will be required to examine locks and fastenings and properly secure doors, and will be held responsible should losses occur through neglect of this duty. When issuing Live Stock Contracts it is very import- ant that full name and address of consignee be inserted in the contract, as that document is often the only means consignees have of proving ownership; also when the name of shipper or man in charge differs from name given on way-bills, trouble and annoyance are the result. When animals are shipped in less than car loads they should be tagged or otherwise marked with full name and address of consignee. Agents are instructed to comply with this rule, especially on shipments to San Francisco. Way-bills must show the kind and number of head, in all cases of shipments of live stock, whether in car loads or less quantities. (1) When live stock is offered for shipment to a point on any line operated by this Company to which you have mo through rate, you will ask the General Freight Agent or agent at the junction point to which you are furnished with tariff for through rate, and insert same in the Live Stock Contract. (Z2.) This contract should be made out to the point to which rate is named; make your way-bill only to the station where the freight leaves your road and at the local rate to that place. (Z3.) When contracts are made to points beyond the station to which you way-bill, this fact with through rate must be noted on way-bill. (Z4.) There being a joint agency at Reno for V. & T. R.

Your attention is called to Section two of Chapter 3, of an Act of the Legislature of California, approved April 3, 1878, reading as follows: « No Company operating any Railroad in this State « ghall, in carrying and transporting Cattle, Sheep, or « Hogs, in car-load lots, confine the same in cars for “ a longer period than THIRTY-SIX consecutive hours « without unloading for rest, water and feeding for a « period of at least TEN consecutive hours. In estimat- “ ing such time of confinement, the period in which the « animals have been confined without such rest on con- « necting roads shall be computed. In case the owner or « person in charge of such animals refuses or neglects to « pay for the feed and care of the animals so rested, the « Railroad Company may charge the expense thereof, to « the owner or consignee, and retain a lien upon the « animals until the same is paid.” To enable compliance with this provision of law hereafter, ALL AGENTS will note upon way-bills for live stock, whether shipped in car loads or lesser lots, the dav and the hour when the same was loaded in the cars. When taking live stock into their trains at stations without agents, coNDUCTORS Will require this infor- mation from the persons in charge of the stock, and note the same upon their train way-bills. CONDUCTORS are hereby instructed to carefully examine the way-bills in order to learn the time any live stock, which may be in their trains, has been confined in the cars, and if it shall appear that CATTLE, SHEEP OR SWINE, IN CAR LOADS, have been confined for a period of THIRTY- SIX HOURS or more, or will have been confined a longer period than thirty-six hours before reaching a station provided with facilities for unloading, feeding, watering and resting the stock, as provided by law, the cars con- taining said animals must be set out of the train at the first station having an agent, where the stock can be properly cared for, and agent at said station is hereby instructed to see that the requirements of above provision of law are complied with. ; These instructions will be obeyed regardless of objec- tions, if any be made, of the owners or parties in charge 107 of the live stock, and the actual expense incurred by the Company thereunder will be charged against the stock when reloaded; agent at destination will collect same at time of delivery of stock. Agents will understand that instead of adding such charges to the bill from original point of shipment, they should make a regular way-bill from their station to destination of live stock, and show thereon as advances the money they may have paid out. This bill must give complete reference and be attached to the bill that accompanies the shipment. Receipt for the money paid out must be attached to the way-bill for advances. Although the rules of the Company require that live stock shall be accompanied by a person or persons for the purpose of caring for it, and every shipper who has signed a Stock Release agrees to provide for their care, yet it is frequently the case that shipments of animals in lots of less than a car load have no person in charge. It is hereby made the duty of CONDUCTORS, in such cases, to ascertain whether there are parties on the train in charge thereof, and if not to see that said stock is watered at least once in twenty-four hours. Agents will cause shippers to be notified that as TIME is an important consideration in the shipment of live stock, the stock should not be placed in the cars so long a time previous to departure of train as to prevent it being unloaded at regular stations or to increase the number of stops necessary to comply with the law. LOADING CARS. 28. First examine their condition. If they have been used for stock, coal, or anything which has left them foul or unclean, cleanse them thoroughly before loading. Look carefully for coal oil or grease, which may have leaked and saturated the floor or sides of the car. Flour, or anything in sacks, dry goods in boxes or bales, or anything liable to damage by wet or stain, should not be loaded in a car which is not perfectly clean or thoroughly dry. Look out for leaky roofs and improper fastenings. See that bars, locks, hasps and staples, hooks, etc., are in good condition. Give attention to the end doors and all windows, and see that they are securely fastened before loading. Directions re- specting billing. When live stock is without a person in charge. Duty of con- ductors in such cases. Notice to ship- pers of live stock. Loading cars. Cars to be thoroughly examined. Loading, hand- ling and check- ing freight. Discretion in regard to load- ing cars. Charges for loading and unloading. Cars not to be overloaded. To guard against danger of fire. Hay when un- loaded. 108 99. Goods must not be mixed in loading. If you load goods in a car for more than one station, the articles to be unloaded first must be put in the car last. Keep the oods for each station together, and each lot by itself. See that all freight is carefully handled, and loaded in such manner that no damage may occur in transit, by leakage of liquids, chafing of bales, etc. Check freight as it is loaded and unloaded, invariably. Agents will be held responsible for damage caused by rough handling or negligence in checking freight. 30. To save unnecessary hauling of cars, you must economize in their use as much as possible, never send- ing a car for a small lot of freight that can be readily loaded after the arrival, and without inconvenient deten- tion of the train. You will use discretion in this matter, and not load into the cars heavy articles that require more than two men to handle in unloading, nor more in quantity for any one place than can be expeditiously handled without detaining the train beyond a proper time. 31. In charging for loading or unloading cars, calcu- late the cost from number of men employed and time consumed. In no case will the charge be less than at the rate of twenty cents per ton. (Sec Rule 14.) 32. When freight is loaded by shippers, be very care- ful to see that the cars are not overloaded. If cars are not loaded in the time allowed (one day), collect the proper charge for detention. (See Rule 14.) 33. In shipping hay or straw and cedar posts covered with bark, agents must be particular to select good tight cars. None but box or combination cars must be used, and when loaded, the doors must be securely fastened and cleated. Too much care in guarding against fire cannot be used in handling these articles. (2.) Hay being unloaded, not to be removed at once, must be piled at a distance from the track and depot buildings, so as not to endanger such property in the . event the hay should take fire. Way-bills. WAY-BILLING FREIGHT. 34. Way-bills must always be sent with freight. A separate way-bill must be made for each loaded car. 109 35. (a) Way-bills must show the full consignment of property, destination and State or Territory, i. e., the point the freight is destined to after leaving our line of R. R. Unless the above rule is strictly complied with, it is impossible to get the information required for statistical purposes, especially on way-bills to Redding, Colfax, Wadsworth, Winnemucca, Battle Mountain, Palisade, Car- lin, Elko, Wells, Toano, Kelton, Corinne and Ogden, and all points in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. GIVE THIS RULE CLOSE ATTENTION. (b.) Attention is called to the execution of GUARANTIES. The signature of shipper alone is not sufficient on a guaranty ; it must also be signed by some other res- ponsible party. 36. If the actual weight of freight loaded by owners cannot be ascertained, estimate the weight as nearly as possible; do not under-estimate it. Twenty thousand pounds is the minimum quantity to be billed as a car load. (2) Twenty thousand (20,000) pounds will be the minimum car-load weight. Any less weight will be charged at regular rates, except the remainder of a lot that has been shipped in car loads, which will be charged at the same rate per ton as the part already forwarded. These rules will apply only when the whole shall have been delivered at the freight station together, and covered by one shipping order. When part of a car load, to com- plete a lot of wood, hay or other article billed at estimated car-load weights, is shipped, the same proportionate rate on the actual weight of balance of shipment will be ap- plied thereon. (3) Cars may be loaded up to their marked capacity before excess is charged for, and when capacity is not shown, 80,000 Ibs. may be loaded in cars which are sound and in good condition. When the soundness of a car is doubtful, it must not be loaded to exceed 22,000 ibs. Before loading a car, or setting it out for shipper to load, agents will carefully examine it, and know that draw bars, draw irons and timbers are in good order. When setting out cars for shippers to load, agents must advise shippers of the maximum weight to be loaded, and charge double rates for any excess which may be placed upon What they must show. Compliance with above rules. Guaranties. Estimation of weight. Car loads and less than car loads. To what extent cars may be loaded. Instruc- tion to shippers thereon.

Advance charges. 110 the car. When shippers have been instructed to load less than 30,000 ibs. to the car, agent forwarding same should note that fact on his way-bill, to guide delivering agent in the matter of charges in case of overloading. All excess of 30,000 ibs. or marked capacity loaded on one car by shipper will be charged double rates. (4.) Freight in car loads destined to points east of Ogden may, until otherwise ordered, be loaded up to 28,000 1bs.; all excess of 28,000 bs. to be charged for at double rates. The above will apply also on freight destined to points reached by the Utah Central Railway. Freight in car-loads, destined to points east of Deming or El Paso, can be loaded up to 28,000 ibs. ; all over that weight will be charged for at the rate provided for the same kind of freight in less than car-load lots, or in case no rate is provided for less than car-load lots, such excess will be charged at double rates. Cars loaded with freight for points on connecting roads south, must be loaded subject to the “excess” rules of those roads. If the contents of any car taking car-load rates (being trans- ferred en-route) on account of bulk or weight exceed the capacity of cars of connecting roads, such excess will be charged regular rates on less than car-load lots. 5.) In all cases where a rate “per car load” is named in the tariff or in special orders, agents will under- stand, and will cause shippers to understand, that it means “a car load of not more than 20,000 pounds ;” and where a rate is provided or quoted In carload lots per ton or per 100 pounds,” it means that the rate given “per ton” or “per 100 Ibs.” will be charged on 20,000 tbs., whether that much is in the car or not. San Francisco, West Oakland, Lathrop, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Rocklin, Truckee, Reno, Winnemucca, Og- den and Deming are provided with track-scales. ADVANCE CHARGES. 37. Pay no advances except such charges as are in- cidental to the transportation of freights, and when these appear exorbitant, advise with the General Freight Agent before paying them. The cost of the articles shipped must not in any case be advanced; the Company will not undertake to collect bills of purchase. Always take 111 receipts for advances paid, and preserve them carefully. Advance charges must not be corrected, except by the order of the forwarding agent or Freight Auditor. FREIGHT BILLED FREE. 38. Property carried for the Company's use, and Free freight freight miscarried and re-billed to its nd sir = will be billed free. A regular way-bill (numbered and reported) must be made for such property, stating full pari mises. : No sh freight must be billed free, unless y order o e General S i ; a al Superintendent or General FREIGHT BILLED IN ERROR. 89. When freight is billed in error to a station, Freight billed marked for another station, send the freight to its proper nse destination, billing it free, and when freight is billed as marked, or per shipper’s order, it must not be considered as billed in error, although it may not be wanted at the station to which billed ; but agents will, if the property is ordered to another station, make a way-bill with charges putting on the charges to their stations as advances (or back charges paid out.) REDUCED RATES. 40. Whenever the rate charged is less th iff Respectin rate, the authority, date and os, of the ny roucd rte. reduced rate must be stated on the way-bill. If no authority for a reduced rate is given, the bill must be corrected to the tariff rate by the agent who receives it. WAY-BILLS TO BE LEFT WITH CARS. 41. When cars are left at your station, containi : : , n Conductor t: freight destined to other stations, see that the as lve vay: leaves the way-bills with such cars. : Report to the General Freight Agent at once, by tele- Negleot—to be graph, every case of neglect of this rule by conductors. i TRANSFERRING FREIGHT. 42. If necessary to transfer freight at a way station, Regarding note full particulars on the way-bill, giving number of fog Te car transferred into, name of station, date, and sign your Bonded cars not to be opened. Respecting the examination and correction of way-bills. Duplicate way-bills. 112 name in full. If the goods do not tally as billed, note the difference plainly on the bill and make a full report to the General Freight Agent. 43. Cars containing “bonded” goods, locked and sealed with Custom House locks and seals, must, on no account, be opened. If, for any reason, a car loaded with such property is left at your station, ask the General Freight Agent for instructions before opening it. EXAMINATION AND CORRECTION OF WAY-BILLS. 44. See that every article billed is received, and that every article received is billed ; make notations of “over,” « short” and « damage” plain and explicit, and always in red nk. The term “bad order,” or “B. 0.” should never be used alone in describing the condition of freight. If freight is damaged, describe the exact condition. 45. See that the weight, rates and charges are correct. The examination and correction of way-bills must pre- cede the making of freight notices or delivery of the property. 46. Give all proper information to persons making inquiry ; but allow none except employees of the Com- pany to have access to the station books. 47. Whenever a question arises between agents as to a correction, the matter must be referred to the Freight Auditor without delay for settlement. 48. In case an agent excepts to a ruling of the Freight Auditor concerning rates or classification, the matter must be referred to the General Freight Agent for final decision; but until such decision is received, the ruling of the Freight Auditor will govern. (2.) Further instructions governing the way-billing of freight, and the examination and correction of way- bills will be given by the Freight Auditor. DUPLICATE WAY-BILLS. 49. Duplicate way-bills for freight forwarded, also for freight received from camps or stations without agents, must be sent to the General Freight Agent. 113 DELIVERY OF FREIGHT TO CONSIGNEES. 50. Consignees must be notified of the arrival of goods not called for within twenty-four hours after being received at the Company's freight station. When residence or place of business is known, the notice must be served personally, or upon an authorized Agent; when not known, notice must be sent through the mail. After notice has been served or deposited in the Post Office, the goods will be subject to storage charges. See also Par. 8, Rule 22. SEIZURE OF GOODS BY CIVIL OFFICERS. If any civil officer serves upon an agent a writ of attachment, or any other legal process, to gain posses- sion of goods in the custody of the agent, either for shipment, storage or delivery, the agent will surrender the goods, provided : First. That all charges against the property are paid. If the property is in the possession of the agent awaiting shipment, he must require payment of charges to desti- nation, if destination is on this Company’s road, or leased roads; if destination is beyond the terminus, or off the line of the Central Pacific Railroad, or roads operated by the C. P. R. R. Co., then the sum to be collected before delivery will be the full charges to the point where the property would leave the lines operated by the C. P. R. R. Co., if forwarded according to shippers directions. Second. That the officer serving the writ, or other legal process, takes possession of, and removes the goods from the premises of the Railroad Company. Agents must not retain the goods under an appoint- ment as Keeper by the attaching officer. When property is thus seized at shipping point, agent will way-bill it to destination as though it had been duly forwarded, noting on way-bill, Property seized by Sheriff,’ or other officer, as the case may be. If charges are not paid, as above provided, and officer does not take manual possession of the goods, the writ served will not be regarded; but property shall be forwarded to destination, or delivered to consignee in the usual manner. : Respectin, delivery o freight.

Your attention is called to the fact that bills of lading or receipts for freight issued by common carriers are negotiable instruments, and that in delivering property to consignees without requiring their surrender, the Com- pany in each case runs a risk commensurate with the value of the property. Agents are required to demand the surrender of bills of lading, stock contracts or shipping receipts for all freights. If the property is delivered without overcharge, con- signee’s receipt must be taken on bill of lading, which must be carefully filed. If freight is overcharged, or the contract otherwise not completed, agents will take acknowledgment of delivery on bill of lading, stamp or write plainly across its face “ Delivered,” and return it to consignee, to be used in making claims. When freight is consigned “to order,” agents at des- tination will be particular to see that bills are duly en- dorsed by proper parties, because under this form of con- signment more than otherwise, bills of lading are readily negotiable. When consignees, from any cause, cannot produce bills of lading or shipping receipts, agents will require a bond signed by disinterested and responsible parties, who will guarantee to produce bill of lading within a reasonable time, or hold the Company harmless should demand for the property be made by any other person. DISPOSITION OF FREIGHT ON HAND. When goods have remained uncalled for (freight charges unpaid) fifteen (15) days, the agent holding them will notify the agent who way-billed the property of this fact, and state amount of freight and storage charges due. The forwarding agent will then present bill of charges to shipper for payment and ask what shall be done with the property. If shipper refuses to pay charges, the agent will notify him that the goods will be sold according to law, and report result to the agent holding the goods. 115 The Monthly Report of Freight on Hand (A. 5) requires answers to seven questions concerning freight reported thereon, which, in the opinion of the agent, will not be called for within a reasonable time. Un- der this rule thirty (80) days will be held to be a reasonable time, and until that period has elapsed the property may be reported as “ Will be called for,” unless the agent is satisfied that freight will not be called for and charges paid within thirty days. In such cases the questions must be answered in the first monthly report. Agents will advise the General Freight Agent by wire when perishable articles are not taken away by con- signees, and when there is risk of decay or loss, asking for instructions regarding the disposition of same. (See Rule 21.) 51. Your attention is directed to General Rule 9, which requires that charges on freight (unless prepaid) must be collected on delivery. Agents have no discretion in the premises, and will be held personally responsible for any loss occurring from neglect of this rule. 52. Agents will not deliver part of a consignment without first collecting charges on the whole. Take receipts from consignees before you deliver the freight in Disposition of freight on hand, continued. Perishable freight. Freight charges to be collected on delivery. Delivery of freight and receipts of consignees. all cases, and if any packages are not in good order, note the exact condition on both receipt and expense bill at the time of delivery. 53. Great care must be used to examine and weigh any articles that appear to be in bad order when re- ceived ; the actual weight and condition must be noted in red ink on the way-bill. If any part of the contents of a package have been extracted or lost in transit, the quantity short must be ascertained immediately by weight, measurement or otherwise. Broken packages, and leaky barrels or packages should be coopered, if necessary, to prevent further loss, and the cooperage charged to owners, when any expense is incurred. (See Rule 22, Par. 1, 3, 4 and 6.) COAL OIL, ETC. 54. Carlion or coal oil, naphtha, benzine, gasoline, or any like substance of a combustible character, must be handled with great care and caution. Such property Treatment of freight in apparent bad order. Stowing and handling of coal oil, etc. 116 should not be distributed promiscuously over the freight houses, but a particular place should be designated for it; and all other property liable to injury by coming in contact with such oil must not under any circumstances be piled or stowed in or on that particular place. STORAGE. 55. You will use all proper means to induce con- signees to take away their freight within twenty-four hours after its arrival, as the Company requires all its warehouse room for the daily movement of freight. (See Rule 12.) 56. On any freight not taken away within twenty- four (24) hours after arrival, agents at all stations, in the absence of special instructions fixing other rates, will collect storage at the following rates : For 3 and under 30 days, five (5) cents per one hun- dred (100) pounds. No charge for storage will be made less than twenty-five (25) cents. FREIGHT SHORT, OVER, AND IN BAD ORDER. 57. When the shortage appears between receipt of goods and loading the same at forwarding station, a special report of the fact will immediately be made to the General Freight Agent by the agent who received the goods, and the missing packages will be way-billed without extending weight and charges, as though loaded and duly forwarded, with the explanation that they «checked short in loading.” The agent at destination will, upon the receipt of such a way-bill, check the lot of goods very carefully, to determine whether the short- age is not the result of miscount at loading station. If the missing freight is not found, he will then forward the usual F. 16 to both forwarding agent and General Freight Agent. If the property is found it will be delivered, upon payment of charges, and a report of the fact made to the General Freight Agent on F. 17. When freight is way-billed as having “ checked short in loading,” and is not found upon checking at destina- tion, the delivering agent will not include the missing goods in the receipt or expense bill; it having occurred 117 that such shortages were only apparent—not real— through a mistake at shipping point in receipting for goods not actually delivered by shipper. If consignee makes claim for the goods require the verification of the shortage by his invoices or bills of purchase. 58. When freight checks short at point to which ut 18 billed, agents will immediately send the proper report (F. 16) to the General Freight Agent, and a copy of the same to agent who billed the property, and note on the report the names of all conductors in whose charge freight has been. 59. The forwarding agent will immediately upon re- ceipt of report of freight short (F. 16) send his statement (F. 18) concerning the shipment to the General Freight Agent, giving full particulars of receipt, checking and billing of the freight. 60. Rules 57, 58 and 59 also apply to freight received in bad order, substituting F. 20 for F. 16. 61. Upon receipt of freight previously reported short, or if freight has been otherwise satisfactorily accounted for, report the fact to the General Freight Agent at once Freight short at destination. Duty of for- warding agent in such case. To freight in bad order. Short freight received. on F. 17. Send duplicate of the same report to the agent who originally billed the freight. 62. When freight is received and does not appear on the way-bill, whether it properly belongs to the station receiving it or not, report it to the General Freight Agent by first passenger train as “ over freight” on F. 14, and send a duplicate of your report to the agent whom you suppose to have forwarded the property. (See Rule 63.) 63. If the marks on “over freight” show destina- tion, forward it accordingly as “over freight—{free,” and send a report of the same on F. 15 to the General Freight Agent, and a duplicate report to the agent whom you suppose to have forwarded the property. 64. Upon the receipt of an “over report,” the for- warding agent will, without delay, send a statement of all the facts bearing upon the case to the General Freight Agent, using therefor F. 18. Freight over. Disposition of freight over. Receipt of *‘ over report.” Instructions on blanks. Separate reports for each ship- ment. Care to be used in making re- ports respecting freight short, over or in bad order. Agents not to communicate with each other by telegraph except upon urgent business. Entire consign- ment checking short. Cars, when load- ing iscompleted, to be carefully examined. Examination of loaded cars on arrival at des- tination. 118 65. All blanks have instructions printed upon them, that explain how they should be filled out. Agents must govern themselves in accordance therewith. 66. Agents will be particular to make separate reports for each shipment. 67. Agents will please take special notice of the fact that a large sum is annually paid by the Company to satisfy claims for lost and damaged freight ; and very many of these claims result from the carelessness and neglect of agents and conductors in making the required reports. All papers relating to short and over freight, and freight in bad order must receive prompt attention. Before making a report or statement upon any case, investigate the matter carefully, and when this is done give the General Freight Agent the full results of your inquiry into the circumstances. Avoid using stereotyped phrases ; but aim to put all the facts in a clear light, and to throw «ll the light you can upon every case, whether originating at your station or relating to another station, when such shall have been referred to you for any reason. 68. The practice of agents communicating with each other by telegraph, except in due form with reference to « shorts” and “overs,” occurring at their stations, must be discontinued. There will be no exceptions to this unless the matter concerns perishable freight, in which case the telegram must be addressed to the General Freight Office. 69. In the event of an entire consignment checking short and not being received within sixty days, agents will send an expense bill for charges to the General Freight Agent, with request that a voucher be made to remove debit from their books. 70. Agents will be careful to see that car doors, side and end, are carefully locked, and the windows made secure, as soon as the cars have been loaded. LOCKING, SEALING AND RECEIPTING FOR CARS. 71. All loaded cars must be examined immediately upon arrival at any station, to see whether doors, side 119 and end, and windows, are securely locked, and a record of the condition of the cars in this respect must be care- fully kept. 72. Agents at the terminal stations of each Freight Division will receipt to conductors, (after having care- fully examined locks and seals and tried doors and win- dows, to see whether secure or not), on form F. 52 for all cars arriving at their stations, and will take receipts from conductors on form F. 53 for all cars forwarded from their stations. = When the agent fills out the receipt (F. 53) for the conductor to sign, he will also fill out in the Daily Train List (F. 52) the columns which are headed the same as in form F. 53, and also enter the name of his station in the column in form F. 52 headed “Taken from,” and give it to the con- ductor for his use during the trip. 73. On the arrival of a train at the terminal station of a Freight Division, the agent at that station will examine it carefully, and if the numbers of the cars, and their condition as to locks, seals and fastenings, etec., are correctly described on the Daily Train List, he will sign the receipt at the bottom of that sheet and give it back to the conductor, who will send it to the Freight Auditor by first passenger train. The agent will send the receipts given by conductors (F. 53) to the Freight Auditor by passenger train daily. 74. When cars are delivered at way stations, the agent at the station where the car is left will sign his name in the proper column of the Daily Train List in the hands of the conductor. 75. The agent at the terminal station of a Freight Division will allow no loaded box car (except those con- taining live stock or lumber) to leave his station, unless it is properly fastened and sealed. When loaded box cars (except those containing live stock or lumber), destined to stations beyond, arrive at the terminal station of a Freight Division not sealed or otherwise properly fas- tened, or with seals broken, the agent at that station will see that they are properly fastened and sealed before they leave his station. Agents at ter- minal stations of Freight Divis- ions will receipt to conductors. Upon what con- ditions receipts will be given. Cars delivered at way stations. Fastening and sealing cars at terminal stations Report of trans- fer of freight. Seals and sealing tools to be kept locked up. Note instruc- tions. Alterations or changes by agents not to be made without permission. 120 76. In all cases where freight is transferred from one car to another while in transit, agents will report same to Division Superintendent and General Freight Agent by first passenger train. Such freight should be care- fully checked. v7 Seals and sealing tools must be kept locked up by terminal agents, or those in charge of same, to avoid their being lost or used by unauthorized persons. 78. Note carefully instructions on blanks F. 52 and F. 53. 79. No agent has a right to alter these Rules, Regu- lations or Conditions, or make any change in Classifica- tion or Tariff, without the permission of the General Freight Agent. INSTRUCTIONS TO FREIGHT CONDUCTORS. The following imstructions to freight conductors are given for the information of agents. Your attention is called to the following rules; observe them carefully. You will be held responsible for freight while it is in your charge. WAY-BILLS. 1. You will take no loaded car or freight from a station with an agent without a proper way-bill. (Train way-bills are not proper way-bills from such a station unless reading from San Francisco, Sacramento, Ogden, Deming or El Paso) If agents fail to have way-bills ready for the cars to be sent in your train, you will refuse to take the cars, and will report the facts to the Division Superintendent. 2. When loaded cars are left at a station short of destination, leave the way-bills with them. When loaded cars are left at a station without an agent, deliver the way-bill to the agent at the next station. Note on way-bill where and why the car was left, and report the same to the Division Superintendent and the General Freight Agent. 8. (are must be taken to fill in the indorsement on the back of each way-bill, showing from what station the car was taken, and at what station the car was left, with date and name of the conductor. 4. You will, after starting your train for the trip, ex- amine each way-bill to see that the destination indorsed upon the back is the same as given within. If you find a difference leave the property at the station named upon the way-bill which you first pass, and report the fact to the General Freight Agent from the first telegraph station. Cars not to be taken from a station without way-bills, Way-bills to be left with cars. Indorsements on way-bills. When stations named on way- bills are not Pp Do. do. Weighing cars. Freight mixed or carelessly loaded. Loading, hand- ling and check- ing freight. To save unneces- sary hauling of cars, Claims for loss of live stock. Conductors to examine cars with live stock. 122 ‘If neither station named on way-bill is passed by you, take the property to the end of your run and call the attention of the agent at that station to the discrep- ancy. This is to prevent carrying freight by. Be careful not to mix the way-bills for different cars. : : When freight in car loads is loaded at a station with- out track-scales, the face of way-bill must show where the car should be weighed. Conductors will examine such way-bills and call the attention of agents to any omission in this respect, and on arrival at point where car is to be weighed immediately notify the agent. 5. If freight unloaded by you is found to be mixed or carelessly loaded, report the facts to the General Freight Agent. (See Rules Nos. 29 and 30, from Special Instructions to Agents, which are given herewith for your information): « GONDITION OF FREIGHT IN CARS. «(29.) Goods must not be mixed in loading. If you load goods in a car for more than one station, the articles to be unloaded first must be put in the car last. Keep the goods for each station together, and each lot by itself. See that all freight is carefully handled, and loaded in such manner that no damage may occur In transit, by leakage of liquids, chafing of bales, etc. Check freight as it is loaded and unloaded, invariably. Agents will be held responsible for damage caused by rough handling or negligence in checking freight. « (30.) To save unnecessa hauling of cars, you must economize in their use as much as possible, never sending a, car for a small lot of freight that can be readily loaded after the arrival, and without inconvenient detention of the train.” LIVE STOCK. 6. Claims for loss of live stock through end-doors of cars have lately become frequent, caused in many cases by locks being imperfect and coming open en-route. While the terms of Stock Contract (F. 98) require ship- pers “to examine cars in which it is proposed to load stock, and to assume all risk arising from defect in the 123 * bodies of cars, or from imperfect doors or fastenings,” conductors, at stations with agents, are not relieved from the duty of seeing that cars are in good order, and exam- ining them, when loaded, to see that doors are properly secured. (See Rule 27 in Special Instructions to Agents, Sections 4 and 5.) Conductors, at stations without agents, are charged with the duty of testing all locks and other fastenings of cars, and will be held responsible should loss occur through neglect of this duty. When locks are found im- perfect or liable to shake open, the doors should be cleated or otherwise secured. Hereafter, when the above precautions are neglected, conductors will be held responsible for any losses of live stock loaded at such stations. When issuing Live Stock Contracts it is very impor- tant that full name and address of consignee be inserted in the contract, as that document is often the only means consignees have of proving ownership ; and when the name of shipper, or man in charge, differs from name given on the way-bills, trouble and annoyance are the result. When animals are shipped in less than car loads, they should be tagged or otherwise marked with full name and address of consignee. The attention of conductors is particularly called to Paragraph 15, of Rule 27, Special Instructions to Agents, in relation to the length of time live stock may remain in cars. UNLOADING FREIGHT. 7. When freight is unloaded at any station you must be particular to note on the way-bill the name of the station stamped on the seal. 8. You must carefully check out by the way-bills with the agent, or some authorized station man, all freight unloaded at a station where there is an agent, and when- ever any freight is short, over, or in bad order, must report the same on proper blank to the General Freight “Agent. 9. You must carefully check out by the way-bill all freight delivered at a station where there is no agent, noting thereon the condition of the freight, and must in- Conductors will be held re- sponsible. Live Stock Contracts. Shipments of live stock in less than car loads. Length of time live stock may remain in cars. Unloading freight. Checking out freight. Where there is no agent. Unloading freight. Freight to be properly trimmed. Receiving freight from where there is no agent. Freight from a station without an agent to a station without an agent. Collecting and remitting money 124 dorse on the face of the way-bill Delivered by me.” Date, sign, and return it to the Freight Auditor, making proper report to General Freight Agent if any discrep- ancies are found. 10. You must unload freight as near the freight house as possible, and under cover if it storms or 1s likely to. When left near the track, see that it is quite clear of the steps of any passenger coach that might pass. 11. You must see that freight is properly trimmed down in car after having unloaded freight at a station. This is of great importance. Any damages arising from neglect in this matter will be charged to the person at fault. RECEIVING FREIGHT. 12. When you receive freight ata station where there is no agent, you will make out on blank F. 51 a report of the freight, unless a shipping bill (F. 30) is fur- nished you by shipper, the report or shipping bill to go with the car for the same purpose as a way-bill. As these blanks are the authority for agents to deliver prop- erty and collect charges, care must be taken to have them correct. Enter all such freight in proper place on time and car reports. Be guided by Rules 29 and 30 of Instructions to Agents, in regard to loading freight, shown in your Rule 5, as you will be held responsible for any damages caused through neglect on your part. 13. “When you take freight from a station where there is no agent, destined to a station without an agent, col- lect charges for the entire distance, and for a rate use passenger train rates, charging at the rate of one fare for one thousand (1,000) pounds weight, either actual or esti- mated. Be particular to note that charges are paid, and what _ amount, on your time and car reports, and on blank F. 30 or F. 51. Remit the money to Treasurer as collection. on freight. The blank is to be indorsed and sent to Freight Auditor when property is left at destination. 125 TRANSFERRING FREIGHT. 14. In all cases when freight is transferred from one car to another while in transit, you will report the same, stating the number of the car transferred from, and the number of the car transferred to, to the Division Super- intendent and the General Freight Agent making proper notations on way-bills. If the freight is found in bad order, your report must show its exact condition; and a like notation must be made on way-bill for the informa- tion of agent at destination. WORK AT STATION. 15. You will render station agents assistance in switching cars, with reference to an economical disposi- tion of their business. In setting out cars at stations, leave them where they will be the most convenient for unloading. Do not leave work at stations for other con- ductors to do. 16. You should never pass loaded cars that are ready to go, or empties that are to be moved, if your engine can haul them. If it cannot, report to Division Superin- tendent at end of trip. SEALED CARS. 17. You will receipt for cars to the agents having sealing apparatus at their stations. The receipt will be given on form F. 53, and before signing it, you will be particular in every case to examine thoroughly the cars, and ascertain whether their numbers are correctly en- tered and their condition accurately described. 18. The agent, when he fills out the receipt (F. 53), will also fill out in the Train List the columns which are the same as those in form F. 53, giving the same numbers of cars and description of their condition, and give it to you. You will take it with you, noting under the. proper headings, all the information pertaining to the trip, and on arrival with the train at the end of the run will hand it to the agent at that station, who, after thoroughly examining the cars and verifying the list, ‘will sign the receipt at the bottom, and return it. You will then personally enclose it to the Freight Auditor by first passenger train, Transferred freight to be reported. Assisting agents with station work. Cars to be moved must not be passed. Receipts for cars. Train Lists. Entries and no- tations on Train Lists. Conditions upon which cars are to be taken. Care to be used in making out reports. Car initials to be given correctly. Full marks. Freight taken without proper way-bills. Figures to be ty Cars left on side- tracks not num- bered. 126 19. When any loaded cars, except flat cars, are taken at any stations, make the proper entries, etc., of them on the list. When cars are delivered at a way station, you will be particular to note the fact, and to have the agent at that station, if there is one, sign his name in the proper column, opposite or on the same line with the car so left. 90. You will in no case take loaded box or stock cars, (except those containing live stock or lumber), from the {erminal station of a freight run, unless they are locked (or otherwise properly fastened) and sealed. You will in all cases examine the train after it is made up to start, and ascertain if all loaded box cars, (except those con- taining live stock or lumber), are properly fastened and sealed ; and if they are not, you will notify the agent, who will see that they are before the train starts. TIME AND CAR REPORTS. 91. You will be particular to fill out these reports strictly according to the blank form. The number of every car in your train must be given in the body of the report. Use care to give the car number and the station numbers correctly. This is very important, as the_'mile- age of each car is taken separately from the report. It is also very important that initials of cars be cor- rectly given. If given in error, mileage is credited to the wrong company. Always give FULL MARKS of cars; if necessary, take two lines on report for such entries. : 99. All freight taken without proper way-bills, (proper way-bills are made only by station agent), must be entered under proper heading in the report. This in- cludes freight for Company's use, which must be ac- counted for as carefully as other freight. 93. You will use figures denoting . stations under headings “ Where from,” “ Where to,” and “Destina- tion as per way-bill.” 94. If cars are left on a side track not numbered, give the name, if it has one, or give numbers of side tracks on each side of the one on which the car is left. 127 25.

LOCAL HALF-FARE TICKETS will be sold only to children under twelve (12) years of age, and to adults presenting half-fare permits. 7. Agents in selling half-fare tickets, when the rate does not divide evenly, will add 2} cents, so that the half-fare rate will end with 5 or 0. Examples: full-fare, $2.75, half-fare, $1.40; full-fare, $5.55, halt-fare, $2.80. 8. THE MINIMUM RATE for a half-fare ticket will be twenty-five (25) cents. 9. Agents will not be excusable for the sale of half- fare tickets to parties over twelve (12) years of age un- less they present proper half-fare permits or orders, and they must notify such parties that they will be ex- pected to show their permits or orders to the conductor when called for. They must be careful, also, to observe the requirements of such permits, and to furnish or sell only the particular kind of half-fare ticket called for by the permit. 10. CHILDREN UNDER FIVE (3) YEARS of age will be carried free when accompanied by a parent or other per- son in charge, but they will not be allowed to occupy seats to the exclusion of paying passengers. 11. THE BLANKS on BOOK TICKETS must be filled in a plain, heavy and legible hand. This must be done n ink. A lead pencil must not be used for this purpose. The destination must be written in full and on the back of the ticket as well as on its face. 12. ALL TICKETS MUST BE DATED by stamping them with the dating machine on the back. Ticket stamps must be kept in good order, and every ticket issued must bear a clear impression. Tickets must in all cases be dated with actual date of sale. Agents will change the date of their dating stamps each day at 12.00 o'clock midnight (Railroad or San Francisco Time), or upon opening office for sales by first train passing their station after that hour. Change on Sundays as well as on other days. 145 The only exception to making a change of date as above may be when a train is at a station at that hour, in which case the change must be made immediately after depart- ure of such train. No valid excuse can be offered, and hence no excuse will be recognized, for non-compliance with this rule. Dating stamps or dies, when not in use, must be kept in a safe place, so that if any tickets are stolen they can- not be made valid by use of stamp. 13. OVERLAND TICKETS to the Missouri River and be- yond are on sale at San Francisco, San Jose, Lathrop, Stockton, Sacramento, Marysville, Colfax, Reno, Carson City, Virginia City, Winnemucca, Battle Mountain, Pali- sade and Elko; also at Tulare, Los Angeles, Colton, Yuma, Maricopa, Tucson and Benson. Agents must not make any orders, by express or other- wise, on these offices for overland tickets, but will refer applicants to nearest foreign ticket office. Overland tickets are contract tickets, and can be sold only to the passenger im person, who must sign the con- tract in presence of the agent selling the ticket. This signature must be made in ink, and must be written as a fac-simile of the passenger’s usual signature and must not be printed. When such tickets are sold to Chinese passengers the word “Chinaman” must be written thereon, and the signa- ture of the passenger also taken. These provisions apply also to local tickets which require the passengers signa- ture, and especially to monthly commutation tickets between San Francisco and Oakland, Alameda or Ber- keley, sold to Chinese. First-class forms can be used either as unlimited or as limited tickets, and they can be used for second-class by punching “2” (over the “17”) class and by stamping “second class ” with ribbon stamp on the face of each coupon and of the ticket. Third-class (emigrant) forms are similar, excepting that the time-limit reads a given number of days after actual date of sale as indicated by the agent’s punch marks in the margin and by stamp-date on the back.

Limited-time tickets (unless the form provides otherwise) must be punched for the actual date of sale as it is stamped on the back. Dating such tickets on the face with a date later than that stamped on the back— that is, the actual date of sale—will not be allowed. No renewal or extension of time thereon will be recognized by conductors, except such as emanates from this office. 15. AGENTS IN REDUCING coupon tickets, local or foreign, to “one-half” tickets will punch each coupon thereof with perforating stamp “1.” 17. The U. S. Government, by its different Depart- ments, issues “requests” for transportation. These re- uests are not transferable and should be presented by the holder to ticket agent at starting point fora U. S. transportation ticket. Before amy tickets are issued or baggage is checked thereon, agents must require the certi- ficate attached to the request to be properly filled out and signed in ink by the party presenting the same. There must be entered in the certificate the actual num- ber to be transported, and the extra baggage (over 100 pounds per man), if any. If any allowance is named in body of request, the exact total weight of baggage should be ascertained to cover charges on excess weight. No officer is authorized to imcrease the value of a re- quest in filling up the certificate of same. : 147 Should any of these call for A ROUND TRIP, agents will, unless otherwise ordered, issue two U. S. trans- ortation tickets, one from point where presented to destination and the other from that destination back to starting point. 18. Hereafter only proper “requests” issued by the «proper authority” will be recognized for transportation. Certificates or receipts signed only by an agent or officer, individually, will mot be sufficient, as none other than properly issued requests will be allowed by the U.S. Gov- ernment in its settlement with this Company. Agents and conductors will, therefore, until further orders, recognize for transportation, subject to our rules and regulations, “requests” issued from the following Departments of the U.S. Government : 1st.—DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.

Surveyor-General for the District of California. 7th.—TREASURY DEPARTMENT. Signed by an Assistant Secretary. 8th.—WAR DEPARTMENT. Signed by the Quartermaster General, U.S. A. Should any requests, other than those named above be presented, confer with this office by telegraph in reference to same. Requests for passage over this Company's leased lines can be made to read on or for “Central Pacific Railroad Co.” Passage over the Oregon Division must be covered by a request for that particular division, as separate and distinct from main line east and west of Junction. Agents not supplied with U. S. transportation tickets will issue regular first-class book tickets and report therefor in accordance with Rule No. 20. 19. Requests for sleeping-car berths (limited to one berth to a person) must read on or for “Silver Palace Sleeping-car Co.” and must be separate from requests for passage’ Requests for sleeping-car berths, other than those issued by the War Department, will not be recognized. 20. Agents will report U. 8. transportation tickets at local rates, unless instructed to report at special rates, and will remit the Government request to the Treasurer as cash. 21. The following is an extract from a circular, dated November 80, 1870, issued by the Managers of “The National Asylum for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers.” « No person has a right to sign a Transportation Or- “der, or any Coupon attached thereto, save one of the « Managers with his own proper hand as an autograph “signature. No officer or other person, except disabled «“goldiers, will be permitted to travel upon or use any “ Transportation Order, issued for, in behalf of, or in the 149 “name of ‘The National Asylum. The names of the « Members of the Board of Managers are printed at the «head of the Transportation Order, so that Railroad “ officials may see who are entitled to sign them.” Transportation orders or requests issued as above will be honored for first-class passage by exchange for U. S. transportation tickets. 22. Agents and conductors will take special care to notify passengers that no tickets will be recognized for passage over the California Pacific Railroad or on C. P. R. R. Co’s steamer lines unless printed or issued therefor, excepting C. P. R. R. first-class tickets between San Francisco and Sacramento or points east and north of Sacramento. Tickets of California Pacific Railroad issued between San Francisco and Sacramento are not good via Central Pacific Railroad. Tickets from Sacramento or points east thereof to Martinez or points on the S. P. & T. R. R. will not be good via Benicia. Tickets between Sac- ramento or east thereof and stations of the California Pacific R. R., including Benicia, will not be good via Stockton. Tickets of Southern Pacific R. R. (No. Div.) issued from San Jose to San Francisco can be honored for passage over Central Pacific R. R. via Niles.

Stop-over privileges will not be granted on linvited rates. Agents in selling these tickets at the limited rates must designate the day for the return trip by punching the date of expiration (day, month and year, and the designating letter A, B or C. Agents must be very careful to explain to purchasers the several rates, and the contract provisions for limited rates, and give the passenger choice of rate or grade. These tickets include free transportation of dogs and gums when carried in baggage cars and put in charge of the train baggage-master. 24. Should it become necessary for an agent to re- deem any ticket sold by himself, he will carefully cancel such ticket by punch or otherwise, and deduct its value from first Ticket Report, sending it to the Ticket Auditor with such report. A cancelled, redeemed, spoiled or mu- tilated ticket must not be sold under any circumstances. 925. AGENTS AND OTHERS MUST MAKE REQUISITION for any tickets they may need at least fifteen (15) days before same are required for sale or use, and must in all cases return the receipt for such tickets by return train. Re- quasitions by telegraph “D. H. will not be recognized. Tickets should be examined and counted as soon as re- ceived, care being taken not to disturb the order of num- bers. Numbers of missing tickets should be noted on the receipt, and duplicates, if any, returned at once to this office 96. CONDUCTORS MUST TAKE UP ALL TICKETS whose destinations are stations on their divisions or routes, immediately after leaving the station of embarkation. Redemption of tickets. Requisition for tickets, when to be made. Tickets to be lifted by conductors. Ejectment on refusal to comply with rules. Tickets to be cancelled by conductors. Cancelled tickets not to be honored. Rates to be collected on trains. 152 Should a passenger refuse to surrender the ticket when ~ thus presented for passage, or refuse to pay the regular train rate, in the absence of a ticket (see Rules 29 and 30), conductors will be authorized in ejecting such pas- senger from the train under the provisions of Rule No. 58. If, however, a passenger pays any money to a conduc- tor for passage to a given destination, and refuses to pay the proper rate, such money or moneys must be returned to or tendered such passenger by the conductor before ejectment. Such passenger having named his destination and having refused to pay the proper fare, can not be allowed passage beyond the first stopping place (see sec- tion ¢ of Rule No. 58), unless the passenger should at the same time change his destination to an intermediate station and pay proper fare for such new destination. 27. CONDUCTORS MUST CANCEL ALL TICKETS, both card and coupon, thoroughly, and in the presence of the passengers, as soon as taken up, or upon examination (if the destination is beyond their division or route.) No excuse will be received for neglect to comply with this rule. 28. Conductors must not, unless so specially ordered by a proper officer of the Company, recognize for passage any ticket that has been cancelled by the punch of a preceding conductor of the same route (excepting when presented with a proper Route S. O. Check), said cancel- lation being sufficient proof that the ticket has already been used for the passage it covered, and that through some neglect on the part of the conductor who punched it, or through refusal of the passenger to surrender, it was not taken up. 29. CONDUCTORS MUST COLLECT AT TRAIN RATES, in coin, from all passengers entering trains without tickets at stations where tickets are sold, and FIRST-CLASS TICKET RATES from all passengers getting on at stations where the Company has no ticket office. Conductors must not collect fare beyond the termini of their routes, or the termini for train rates named on tariffs. Conductors must collect sufficient to make full train rates from all persons, excepting children under twelve 153 (12) years of age, who present half-fare tickets without proper permits. From passengers without tickets taking seats in second- class cars between the points and on the trains named in Rule No. 22 (that is, between San Francisco and Sacra- mento via Benicia or between San Francisco and Galt via Martinez), conductors will collect second-class rates from non-ticket office stations. From ticket office stations they will also collect at same second-class rates, adding thereto the usual train rate (that is, 10 cents if under $1.00, or 10 per cent. if over $1.00), when necessary to collect for passage of children for whom parents or guardians do not hold necessary tickets. . Conductors will account for such collections separately on train reports. 30. Should a ticket office not be open at regular train time, whether by accident or some other unforeseen cir- cumstance, or by special instructions, whereby passen- gers would not be able to purchase tickets, conductors must collect fare of such passengers at ticket rates only, and report the fact to the Ticket Auditor and also to the proper Division Superintendent. 31. Each conductor will make a report to this office immediately after arriving at his terminal station, on the blank furnished (P. 19), of all troops carried over his division or route, giving name of officer in command, number of officers, number of enlisted men, and number of laundresses; also whether traveling on Government transportation request (giving its consecutive number and name of officer issuing same), or whether presenting U. S. transportation ticket. To secure a correct report, especially in cases of large detachments, it will be neces- sary to count the number aboard the train after leaving the starting station, and again before arriving at the terminal station. Should any soldiers belonging to a detachment desert en-route to the knowledge of conductors, they will men- tion the same on their reports, giving number deserting, at what station, and such other facts as may be of service in making final settlement with the Government for such transportation. Soldiers of the U.S. Army cannot be carried on trains unless presenting transporiation requests, or railroad tickets, or paying fare. Collections on trains in second- class cars._ Rates to be collected if ticket offices are closed. Reports on P. 19 for troops carried. foreign points to 154 32. Conductors in charge of trains carrying large bodies of Chinamen on special tickets must count the number of same en-route, while between the terminal stations of their route or run, and note such number in proper blank on the through ticket or way-bill, signing and punching same. 33. Conductors on Sacramento and Truckee Divisions between Sacramento and State Line will recognize the Commitment of the Court, properly signed and sealed, as sufficient authority to pass free, but between “STATE LINE AND SACRAMENTO” ONLY, all CONVICTS going to the State Prison of California, and all LUNATICS going to the State Lunatic Asylum. Officers in charge are not included in this provision. Conductors will enter on their daily reports the names of the parties thus passed and the “history” of the Com- mitment, with names attached to same. 34. Coupon tickets issued by this Company to points east of Ogden, Deming or El Paso should be dated on the back with the stamp of the selling office, and if limited- time tickets, should have the date of sale (unless the form provides for punch of date of expiration) punched thereon with an S ticket punch. If any others are offered, conductors will telegraph to this office for orders, giving as full a description as possible. 35. (Conductors will honor all regular tickets issued by connecting Eastern railroads. COUPON TICKETS read- ing FIRST-CLASS Or SECOND-CLASS are good by any regu- lar PASSENGER TRAIN. Second-class tickets will be good for passage in the second-class (or smoking) cars of ex- press trains if presented within the limited time given in contract. Third-class tickets are good only by emigrant freight trains. 36. Some Eastern roads may issue second-class tickets stamped “Servant.” Such will be recognized as first-class tickets, only when the holder thereof accom- panies a family as its bona-fide servant. This special arrangement is applicable only to Trans-Pacific travel from Europe. 37. Certain Eastern roads issue through contract tickets (being a combination of contract and title 155 ticket) with an attached coupon for this road, reading “From Ogden,” or “Deming” or “El Paso” to destina- tion on C. P. R. R. or S. P. R. R. The contract and title portion of the ticket without this coupon is not valid, and conductors will not honor the same. The Union Pacific Railway Co. has issued a new line of coupon tickets to points on and via the Central Pacific and Southern Pacific Railroads. Many of the forms cover the three classes of passage—I1st, 2nd and 3rd, and read: “ The unpunched figure opposite the word ‘class’ on this ticket and its coupons indicates its class.” Conductors must observe, therefore, that these different classes are printed on the same color of paper (on the face) and in the same color of ink. In addition to the above there are “straight forms ” to San Francisco, as follows: form 39, 1st class; form S. 39, 2nd class; form E. 39, 3d class. Any tickets of above forms which are limited “ will be void after date cancelled by ‘L’ punch in the margin.” These tickets, whether limited or unlimited, require the passenger's signature, and conductors will decline to recognize for passage any ticket of this nature whereon the signature is omitted. The contract thereon reads: “ This ticket is not transferable, and if presented by any “ other person than the original holder, whose signature is “ hereon, the conductor will take it up and collect full “fare. The holder will write his or her signature when “required by conductors or agents.” It is copied here to show to conductors that in cases of doubt they have the authority to demand “satisfactory identification” by ad- ditional signatures for comparison, ete. Tickets of a similar form will be found issued by other lines, and this rule will apply to them also. 38. In examining tickets from foreign roads, conduc- tors must be sure of their destination; if a station on this road, it will be shown by the destination ticket, which should bear the signature of the General Passenger or Ticket Agent of the Company issuing such ticket, or by the coupon attached. If the destination is a point be- yond the line of this road the ticket should have a check or coupon for the C. P. R. R. or S. P. R. R. attached thereto, the same as though it were one of this Companys 1ssue over some connecting road or roads. Non-contract and skeleton tickets to be refused. Grade of tickets not to be raised. Coupons detached not to be honored. 156 Conductors must decline to recognize any foreign tickets (including unlimited first-class) of the non-con- tract, non-signature style and also skeletons. In case it becomes necessary to refuse passage on such ticket, con- ductors must request the holder to purchase local ticket at first ticket station, and to take agent's receipt therefor, and refer the passenger to this office for refundment or adjustment, if necessary. The conductor will also send to General Passenger and Ticket Agent by first train (or if necessary by wire) name of passenger, destination, de- scription in full of foreign ticket presented and local ticket purchased, ete. : This rule applies also to offices at Ogden, Deming and El Paso in case of presentation of such tickets for pur- chase of sleeping-car tickets or re-checking of baggage. 39. The following resolution was adopted at the Con- vention of the General Ticket Agents’ Association, held in New York, March 30, 1870. ResoLVED, That no TIcKET shall be ALTERED $0 as to RAISE its value and class. Conductors will refuse to honor any ticket for a higher grade and class than that for which originally printed, unless otherwise specially ordered from this office. (See Rule No. 63.) 40. All COUPON TICKETS ISSUED BY THIS OR FOREIGN RAILROADS bear upon the face printed instructions to conductors not to honor a coupon or check when de- tached from the terminal or destination ticket, as per following examples: “Coupons will be detached by conductors poly ‘Checks to be detached by conductors only.’ Dit «This Check will be refused for passage if detached from Destination Ticket.” : } NeThis Check will not be good under any circumstances if detached f the Original or Destination Ticket.” : ; : This Check not good if detached from Ticket bearing the Signature. «Conductors will refuse this Check if detached from the Ticket bear- ing the Signature.” } "his ry Check will be refused by conductors for passage if detached from Ticket bearing signature of the General Ticket Agent. (“This Check is of no value if detached from Ticket bearing Sig- ature.” : x B «(Conductors will refuse this Check if detached from the Ticket.” 157 CONDUCTORS, THEREFORE, WILL DECLINE to recognize for passage any coupon or check of a ticket, when such coupon or check is presented alone or without the balance of the ticket. 41. EXCURSION TICKETS issued by the Central Pacific R. R., reading “San Francisco to Omaha and Return,” or to “ Kansas City and Return,” and by Eastern railways reading “Omaha,” or “Kansas City,” or “ Denver,” or “St. Louis to San Francisco and Return,” bear a con- tract having conditions, to which particular attention of conductors is called, viz: that they are “not trans- ferable,” are “limited ” as to the time for their use, and that the holders must make their signatures when re- quired. Conductors will use every possible means to detect parties presenting such tickets for passage, on which other persons’ names are written. If a case occurs, they will take up the entire ticket, collect fare at train rates, give a receipt (in ink if possible) for the amount so collected, and refer the passenger to this office. Excursion tickets going East will be good only for the train and on the date as agreed upon and arranged for; but the holders can return at their convenience, at any date within the limited time of the ticket. The U.P. Ry. Co, A, T. &S. F. R. R. Co., Mo. Pac. Ry. Co. and T. & P. Ry. Co, issue limited-time contract commercial tickets for first-class passage to San Fran- cisco and return. On these tickets stop-over privileges en-route will be allowed within the time-limit thereof, and 150 pounds of free baggage may be checked accordingly. Westward.—The ticket bears a check reading “to San Francisco ” (which is limited to......days from date of sale as stamped.) Eastward.—The ticket must be presented to Ticket Agent C. P. R. R., Overland Ticket Office, at Oakland Ferry Landing, San Francisco, for proper endorsement, on or ‘before the sixth (6) day prior to date of expira- tion, as ghown on title page. Attached thereto is a “ Conductor’s Check,” the blanks of which must be filled in by first conductor to whom presented, as per instructions thereon. Such conductor will at same time have the passenger sign the undetach- able check reading “To Purchaser,” and add his own Round-trip tickets issued by C.P.R. R. and by Eastern lines. 158 159 46.

These two checks must not be filled in except as herein named, and not until after de- arture from San Francisco. The latter-named check is to assist in the detection of possible transfers (scalps.)

Through tickets, via Ogden between points west Refusals to sign special tickets to Contract tickets press condition that they shall be void unless presented for passage at the termini of connecting railroads within the time specified. When such expired tickets are presented, they must be taken up and fare collected. 43. If passengers present special tickets, season or trip, unsigned when the style of the blank requires a signature, conductors can take them to the first station, where they should affix manuscript fac-simile signatures in ink, though in extreme cases lead pencil may be ad- missible. : 44. IN ALL CASES WHERE FREE PASSENGERS refuse to affix their proper manuscript fac-simile signatures, in accordance with the provisions and “conditions” of the tickets, conductors will report in writing to their Division Superintendent the circumstances, giving Name of passenger Kind of ticket......... Number, if an annual...Date of expiration.... By whom issued Said report will be forwarded to the office of the Gen- eral Superintendent. 45. Should a CONTRACT TICKET of any class be offered WITHOUT PROPER MANUSCRIPT SIGNATURE of the passenger, or if expired, conductors should without delay communi- cate with this office by telegraph, giving all circumstances and particularly a full description of the ticket, viz: Road issued by ; Form number Consecutive number .... Countersign number. ...Date, etc Conductors must decline to honor any contract tickets (requiring the signature of the passenger to be affixed to the contract in ink) unless they are so signed. and east of Lathrop, will not be good to or from stations south of Lathrop. 48. Limited-time contract tickets to or from San Francisco will not be good to or from San Jose, or via Livermore route, excepting that local, special, first-class, single-trip and five-day round-trip tickets between San Francisco and Tracy, and east of Tracy to Stockton, may be honored via Livermore. 49. “(a.) EXCHANGE CHECKS will be given to passen- gers “westward bound” in place of original tickets issued by foreign lines. After leaving Ogden, or Deming, or El Paso, conductors will take up our coupon or portion of all original tickets (first, second and third-class), and give passengers in lieu thereof, exchange checks of the proper form and class. (b.) Conductors thus issuing exchange checks must write plainly on the face of each original ticket the con- secutive number of the exchange check given for same, and must forward to the Ticket Auditor all original tickets thus taken up (after cancelling them with punch) with a statement, giving the numbers of all exchange checks issued on such trip in lieu of such original tickets. (c.) On regular unlimited first-class tickets they will issue the “First-class Through Exchange and Stop- over Check” of form A or AA. This check requires in its issuance but one punch, namely, that on the back thereof for the destination, unless issued in exchange for a half-fare ticket. In this latter case the “half-fare” space on face of the check must also be punched. Conductors, when issuing these checks, must enter thereon—with pen and ink—the name of the passenger as given by signature affixed to the original ticket. Connecting conductors, in honoring exchange checks of form A or AA, must punch the number of the termi- Exchange checks 160 nal station of their division or run, excepting when stop- over privileges are given. Instructions as to stop-over privileges on these checks are given on the face of the checks, and conductors must act accordingly. (d.) On limited first-class tickets, when presented before expiration, they will issue an exchange check of form B-1 or BB-1, and on second-class an exchange check of form B-2 or BB-2, and on third-class tickets an exchange check of form Cor CC. These checks in their issuance require four (4) punches, that is, three (3) on the face for the date of expiration (the day, month and year) and one (1) on the back for the destination. If issued on a half-fare ticket, the “half-fare” space must also be punched. You will notice that the date to be punched on exchange checks of form B-1, B-2, BB-1 and BB-2 is not the date of issuance, but is the date of expiration, which must be the same as that of the origi- nal ticket on which issued. You must, therefore, care- fully examine each original ticket of these two classes, and punch for the exact date of expiration given thereon. Conductors, when issuing these checks, must enter thereon—with pen and ink—the name of the pas- senger as given by signature affixed to the original ticket. Second-class checks of forms B-2 and BB-2, and third- class of forms C and CC, will be good only for a contivn- wous passage, and stop-overs will not be given thereon. Stop-overs may be given on checks B-1 and BB-1, if de- sired, but only within the time-limit of the check. The only exception to this instruction will be when the hol der of a limited ticket presents the proper authority from a proper officer of the U. P. and C. P. R. R. Line, or A, T. &S. F.and S. P.R. R. Line, or T. & P. and S. P. R. R. Line, extending the time thereon, or granting other priv- ileges named in such authority or permit. (See Rule No. 63.) In such cases you will honor the exchange check in accordance with the terms of the permit, and send per- mit and check to the Ticket Auditor with your train report. You will cancel these checks for passage over your route or run by punching the station numbers given at the foot of the check. Particular attention is called to the direction as to the punching on the backs thereof for the destination, that is, to punch carefully the name of the destination, and to 161 reach far enough within the border to avoid cutting the dates or numbers on the face. : 50. Should a passenger en-route west, holding a lim- ited-time exchange check, be delayed by an accident or illness, beyond the time of expiration of the check, and should the passenger after such time tender such check for passage, the conductor will at once notify the nearest Division Superintendent by telegraph of the circum- stances in full. He, if he finds or believes the statement of the passenger to be correct and satisfactory, will in- struct the conductor to recognize such expired check. Under no circumstances will an expired exchange check be honored for passage, unless by special instructions from some proper officer of the Company. The same rule applies to limited first or second-class tickets. 51. STOP-OVER CHECKS may be issued on all unlim- ited first-class tickets. STOP-OVER CHECKS may be issued on limited-time first-class tickets to the east of Ogden, Deming and El Paso, provided the contract thereon allows stop-over privileges within the time-limit. This rule will apply also to conductors’ limited-time first-class exchange checks issued on the Salt Lake, Tucson and Rio Grande Divisions. In either case the stop-over check, being good only when presented with the ticket on which issued, will not be good beyond the ticket’s time-limit. Stop-over checks must not be issued on second-class emigrant or steamer route tickets. Stop-over checks must not be issued on U. S. requests for transportation, nor on U. 8. transportation tickets, as, being limited to a certain number of days, they come under the head of limited-time tickets. If holders of U. S. transportation tickets desire to lay over, conduc- tors can endorse on back the station stopped off at, and affix their signatures thereto, with the date. Succeeding conductor8 will honor same, if presented within the time limitation. 52. Stop-over checks are limited to the route or sta- tions named thereon, and must be issued for all “stops” on unlimited first-class tickets. Conductors must issue these checks strictly in accordance with the provisions printed on face and reverse of both check and stub, Exchangechecks held by delayed passengers. Stop-over checks, on what to be issued. Stop-over checks limited to routes printed thereun. Issuance of stop- over checks. Transfer of stop- over checks. Reports to be made of stop- over checks issued. 162 and in consecutive order, beginning with the lowest number furnished them. Ihe passenger will retain the original ticket. Should its destination be a station named on the check, the conductor honoring will take up both ticket and check, unless the holder wishes to make one or more intermediate stops on the same check, in which case succeeding conductors will cancel the check for such stop-overs. When passengers ask for stop-over privileges, agents must notify them to give ample notice to the conductor, that he may have time to issue the stop-over check prior to arrival at the intermediate station where they wish to stop. Agents must notify them, also, that the provisions embraced in Rules 26 and 28, being just and reasonable, must be enforced by conductors. 53. (a) Stop-over checks must be issued for one passage only—whether whole or half (3.) If the 3 is not punched, conductors will recognize same for a whole pas- sage. Great care must be taken in punching checks to designate the stations from which and to which the check is good. (b.) When a conductor leaves a division his “stock,” if not broken, must be transferred to his successor only through his Division Superintendent; if broken, it must be returned to the G. P. & T. Agent's Office. (c.) Conduttors must account on blank P. 49 for all stop-over checks issued, in a manner similar to that used in reporting sleeping-car tickets, entering thereon the route letter and the consecutive numbers of the stop-over checks in regular order. They will send such report to the Ticket Auditor, en- closing therein stubs of the stop-over checks. (d) They will enter in ink on the face of each original ticket, both the route letter and the number of the check issued. Stop-over checks of the new (route) system will not be honored, mor can baggage be checked thereon, except when presented with the original ticket, which latter must bear conductor's cancellation for the route covered by the stop-over check. Agents can check baggage on a cancelled ticket and its stop-over check to the destination of the ticket, or to an intermediate station, provided, however, that baggage has not been checked on such 163 tieket to a station beyond the one stopped off at. The agent at latter can judge of this from the checks pre- sented by the passenger on arrival at his station. 54. Because of numerous frauds by forgery and alter- ation, conductors must discontinue the practice of endors- ing on the back of passage tickets “Good from Station.” They must issue a regular stop-over check in accordance with Rule No. 52, whenever a passenger is to stop over at a station short of the destination of his ticket. Exception: special tickets (passes.) 55. SLEEPING CARS.—Conductors of each division will make a careful examination of the charts of all sleeping cars on their respective trains. Besides com- paring, signing and punching the charts, they must hereafter PUNCH THE SLEEPING-CAR TICKETS when check- ing same with the chart, before arriving at the terminus of their route or run, and thus see that there is a ticket for each and every occupant of the sleeping car. (a.) TRAIN coNpUCTORS will have full charge of the sleeping cars attached to their respective trains, and will be held personally responsible for the care and attention due occupants thereof, and must report any neglect of duty or act of incivility on the part of car porters. (b.) PorTERs will assign passengers such berths as they may have engaged at the Company's office or of train conductor. The conductor will afterwards dispose of any remaining berths in such manner as in his judg- ment will best promote the comfort and convenience of the greatest number. (c) THE PORTER will give his whole attention to the wants and care of his passengers. He will not absent himself from his car at any time longer than the duties of his position may require. (e.) All collections from passengers not provided with sleeping-car tickets must be made by train conductors in person. Porters will not be allowed, under any circum- Tickets nct to be endorsed ‘good from —" Sleeping-car charts to he examined. Sleeping cars in charge of conductors. Porters’ duties. Do.

(f) Porters will not make up berths for any passen- gers, through or local, until surrender of proper sleeping- car ticket as issued either by agent or conductor. This applies as well to the Salt Take Division C. P. R. R. and to the Tucson Division S. P. R. R. of N. M., as to other divisions. (9) Porters must collect all sleceping-car tickets issued by agents and conductors and return the same to the office of the Ticket Auditor with the car chart, at the termination of each round trip. The only exception allowable to this rule is that wherein conductors of the Salt Lake Division are instructed to take possession of the charts (and tickets accompanying) before arrival of the Atlantic Express at Ogden. (h.) Tickets for double berths or drawing rooms en- title the holder thereof to the exclusive use of same to destination of sleeping-car ticket, provided the passenger holds the necessary first-class passage ticket or tickets to same destination. (i.) Double berths or seats will accommodate two persons. Passengers holding tickets for same have the privilege of inviting other passengers to occupy such berths or seats, at their pleasure (provided no improper characters are thus allowed.) If actually necessary to ac- commodate passengers unable to find seats in the day coaches, conductors may make temporary use during the day-time of unused seats in sleepers for such local travel. (j) These coaches dire sleeping cars at wight and special parlor cars during the day. Conductors must not allow other passengers (through or way) to occupy same to the inconvenience of parties holding sleeping- car tickets. (k) Agents and conductors in selling sleeping-car tickets to parties of two or more must be sure that such parties pay for the room they must necessarily occupy, so as not to incommode other passengers. If a party of more than two persons (over 5 years of age) pays for one berth only, they must not occupy the other berth or seat, and thus encroach on the rights and privileges of the party who has paid for the exclusive use of such in same sec- 165 tion. They must therefore use their best judgment in berthing, and be sure that passengers pay for sufficient room to make themselves comfortable and to avoid crowding out or encroaching on the rights of others. Agents when selling sleeping-car tickets must punch with an S punch the passage ticket held. (I.) Agents or conductors will not be allowed to sell sleeping-car tickets to parties holding second-class or emigrant tickets. In case a passenger holding a second- class or emigrant ticket secures a sleeping-car ticket, the conductor will refund to such passenger the amount paid for such sleeping-car ticket, and then transfer the pas- senger to his or her proper car or train. (m.) Neither annual nor trip “special tickets” (or passes) entitle the holder to the free use of sleeping-car accommcdations. When special tickets are offered cov- ering sleeping-car berths, enter following on chart : 0 . By whom issued Season (8) or trip (T)....No. station from No. station to (n.) Conductors or agents east of Sacramento must not issue sleeping-car tickets to stations west of that point; and conductors west of Sacramento on Train No. 1 will punch tickets, going cast, as from Sacramento. San Francisco” must not be punched on tickets to be used on the Visalia Division ; but going south, tickets must be punched as from LATHROP, and woing north as to that point. pr ; (0.) The charge for drawing rooms will be the same as for two (2) sections, and tickets issued for K and L will answer. Generally a drawing room should not be sold for less than three passage tickets, though in case of light travel they may be sold for a less number. : To accommodate applicants, who cannot be otherwise provided for, conductors, after the departure of Train No. 1 from Sacramento or of No. 2 from Ogden, and after the departure of train No. 19 from Lathrop or of No. 20 from Deming, can sell separately the berths in drawing rooms, if vacant or unsold by agents. In such cases a drawing room will be considered as two (2) sections (K and L), and the rates will be the same as for other sections, even though “ K” in C. P. R. R. sleepers has Second aad third-class passengers can not purchase sleeping-car tickets. Sleeping-car tickets to be issued as from and to Sacramento or Lathrop. Drawing-room rates.

Conductors must in every such case explain to the passenger the peculiarities of the drawing room and the liability of other passengers being similarly berthed. (p) Berths in the smoking room must not be sold by agents except on occasions of an extra demand for berths, when our agents at San Francisco or Sacramento may sell berths in the smoking room as section M, for use of gentlemen only, to Reno, Wadsworth or Humboldt, but not east of the last-named, as the room must be subject to use during the day by other occupants of the sleeper at their option. Agent at Ogden in like manner can sell to Kelton, Halleck or Elko, but not west of last-named. Conductors likewise may sell to way travel (TO GEN- TLEMEN ONLY, AND IN NO CASE TO LADIES), when needed to accommodate the same. In such cases agents and con- ductors must specially inform the local passenger that the room must be used during the day by other passengers in the car for smoking purposes. The charge for berths will be the same as in other regular sections, and in case of any sales conductors can alter present tickets with pen and ink, or pencil, to read M” upper, or lower, as the case may be. (¢) The Ladies’ toilet is for the use of all LADY oC- CcUPANTS of the car. (r) As the smoking room is set apart for that pur- pose, conductors will not allow smoking in any other portion of the car. (s.) Conductors making transfers of occupants in sleeping cars from one berth to another must note same on backs of charts, so that connecting conductors will have no trouble in locating the passengers. 56. A CIRCULAR issued by the General Superinten- dent, dated October 1, 1874, contains the following im- portant instructions: CONDUCTORS WILL SEE THAT WAY PASSENGERS ENTER THE “DAY” COACHES DIRECT FROM THE STATION (WHERE THE PLATFORM OR STATION GROUNDS WILL ADMIT) AND NOT BY PASSING THROUGH THE SLEEPERS. Conductors will be furnished with keys to night-locks of sleepers to use in case it is necessary to pass through 167 the same, and they will station their brakemen in such a manner that it will not be necessary for them to pass through during the night. Conductors will consider it a part of their duty to be among their passengers while the train is in motion, and are forbidden to remain in baggage cars longer than is necessary to transact any business they may have therein. Any conductor who hereafter makes a practice of riding in baggage cars will be considered as neglecting his duty, and his services will be dispensed with. Conductors will not allow any passengers, paying or free, to ride in baggage cars when there is room in pas- senger cars, nor in mail or express cars unless they can show authority for so doing. At eating or other important stations, so far as possi- ble, the rear door of the rear sleeper and the front door of the front sleeper, (if but one car, then the rear door), should be kept locked. This is especially applicable to Lathrop, Stockton, Sacramento, Colfax, Summit, Truckee and Reno. : Porters, to prevent theft, will during night-time keep the “night locks on,” as they will hereafter be held per- sonally responsible for the loss of any baggage or cloth- ing belonging to passengers occupying sleepers. In case of loss of baggage or property from sleepers, the value of the property missing will be held against the porter’ pay until it is proven that the loss was not through his negligence or carelessness. 57. While the officers of this Company sympathize with passengers so unfortunate as to lose their passage tickets, they must consider this Company as no more re- sponsible to such passengers than they would be for the loss of an amount of money of same value as the’ lost tickets. In such cases conductors will collect train rates to the first ticket-office station, and request the passenger to purchase a ticket at such station to destination;.and, if desired, will give the passenger a receipt for the money thus paid, and request an agent selling a ticket as above to do likewise. They will then refer the passenger to this office, asking that all particulars and a full de- scription of the lost ticket be given. Telegrams giving notice of the loss of tickets by pas- sengers must not be sent free. Passengers desiring to Lost tickets. 168 stop the use of lost, stolen or missing tickets, must pay for all telegrams sent relative thereto, and must guar- antee payment for all answers to such messages. Other- wise, notices necessary to our agents and conductors can be sent only by mail. 58. («.) Conductors must observe great care in their deportmnent to passengers on trains and at stations, al- ways treating them respectfully and courteously, answer- ing all questions, many of which may be important to them, however trifling they may seem to you. (b.) Should there be any doubt in regard to a ticket, conductors will give the passenger the benefit of such doubt. Should it become necessary, for any reason, to eject a passenger from the train, before doing so con- ductor will bring the train to a full stop, and will explain to the passenger pleasantly what his duties are, and in a tone of voice so other passengers may hear. Conductors must remember, however, that it is not advisable to eject passengers except in EXTREME CASES, and must not at- tempt to exercise authority over them, nor allow them- selves to become angry, lest they exceed their authority and thereby compromise the Company. (¢.) In ejecting a party from a train, the law requires that it be donc only at A STATION OR NEAR SOME DWELL- ING-HOUSE, at which the party ejected can secure meals, if necessary. A siding or side-track does not constitute « station. See Rule No. 26, as to return, before ejectment, of moneys paid by passengers. (d) Should a conductor eject any passenger from his train, he will without unnecessary delay report in writ- ing to his Division Superintendent all the circumstances connected therewith, giving names and residences of party ejected and of the witnesses; date and location of ejectment ; a complete history of the ticket offered (if any), viz: name of road issued by, its destination, class, ‘form, number and date; also, such other information as may be of service to the Company in case of a lawsuit arising from such ejectment. (e.) Conductors will take up any fraudulent, expired or transferred tickets, attach same to such statement, and will state what tickets (if any) were bought by the pas- senger, or cash fares collected. 169 f.) The Division Superintendent, after noting an additional facts he may be cognizant of, will forward the report to this office. (9) Agents and baggage masters will hereafter con- sider that sections d and e of this rule (No. 58) are ap- plicable to them when on duty at stations as well as to conductors on trains. Therefore, when a transferred or scalped ticket (known to be such) is offered by a second party for checking of baggage or other purposes, the agent will confiscate the scalped ticket as per section e. If the agent entertains any doubt about the bona fide ownership of a ticket suspected as transferred, he must require satisfactory identification from holder by addi- tional signature, etc. 59. Conductors must enter in red ink on their daily reports, opposite the proper station, the number of tickets J “taken up” thus showing the starting point and desti- nation of tickets collected. These red-ink entries must agree with the total number of tickets sent the Ticket Auditor. Conductors will treat tickets from beyond the termini of their divisions as though such tickets had been sold at the starting point of their trains. For instance, tick- ets on the Visalia Division destined to points on the Western Division will be treated as local tickets from Lathrop. Tickets to points on the Oregon Division from the west will be classed with those from Sacra- mento, and from the east the same as local from Junction. Tickets destined to stations beyond a conductor’s division or run can not be entered on report, as such tickets being retained by the passenger are taken up by terminal conductor. 60. Conductors before returning to the Ticket Auditor Cutting tickets (with their train reports) the tickets collected, must in all cases cut off with knife or shears from each ticket a good portion of one corner, to indicate that it is has been fully used and is worthless. Care must be taken mot to cut off the ticket number or office letter. Exceptions must be made to this rule, viz: 1st, of our own coupons of tickets of our own issue to points east of Ogden, Deming and El Paso, as such coupons are worth- less whan detached; 2d, of the exchange checks west- », Baggage checks as security for fare. 170 A, T. &S.

Conductors will declin heen cancelled by having e to honor any ticket that has any corner clipped off as above. 61. Hereafter when it becomes necessary for con- ductors to take from passengers their duplicate baggage checks to secure unpaid fare, they will instruct the train baggage master to attach to the strap check (if on his train) a tag, stating THAT same 18 C. O. D,, and will transfer to connecting conductor the duplicate checks, with a «gtatement” addressed to the station baggage master at destination. Each conductor will enter on the “statement” the number of the baggage check and the amount of fare due at train rates over his division, and will also enter same items on train report under head of « Remarks,” thus notifying the Ticket Auditor of such C. 0.

The relations and responsibilities of common carriers to the traveling public are such as to require from the former the most constant and earnest care of the prop- erty of the latter. / As hbaggagemen, you are intrusted with the safe- keeping and transportation of effects which are, to the owners, often of more value than their tickets or their purses. Scarcely anything is or can be more truly an- noying to the traveler than the loss, the abuse, or even the delays of his baggage. You are, therefore, expected and required by the Company you serve to exercise the utmost vigilance, that all baggage intrusted to your care be correctly checked, promptly forwarded, carefully handled, and safely delivered : thus, and thus only, can you forestall all cause of complaint against the Company, whose disfavor you can quite as ill afford as its patron can the injury your negligence might cause.

Authority for checking.—A ticket or pass is the only authority for issuing a check. 18. Limits of checking.—Issue no check to a point beyond the destination of the ticket or pass, and to no point beyond Ogden, excepting Cheyenne, Omaha, Council Bluffs, Denver, Leavenworth and Kansas City. 14. Never check to a point short of destination of ticket, unless the ticket be first-class in every partic- ular and entitled to stop-over privileges. In such case punch ticket and write plainly on its back “Checked: to | name station.]” 15. Check single pieces only ; that is, check no trunk, valise, bag, satchel, bundle, or any other article with any coat, blanket, umbrella, cane, or other parcel or bundle, lashed, strapped, tied or otherwise fastened to it. 16. Safety of check—Check no box or chest that has not a loop or handle to which the check may be safely fastened, (never mail on a strap check), nor any bundle or packet that is not so bound or tied as to render your check safe. 17. Prohibited articles—Guns, umbrellas, walking sticks, baby wagons, saddles, jewelry boxes; lunch baskets, and parrots are not baggage, and must not, under any circumstances, be checked. 18.

Also, at the close of every day take account of all checks on baggage, and all baggage unchecked, remaining in your room. 90. Double checking is not allowed under any cir- cumstances. 91. When checking to station where there is no agent, notify the owner to deliver the duplicate to the T. B. M. before reaching the station, and to be ready to receive the baggage. If he fails to do this, T. B. M. will carry it to next station where there is an agent, and leave it with all necessary information. It can be moved after that only at the expense of the owner. 99. When owner does not accompany baggage, enclose duplicate check to agent at destination, with name of owner and all necessary information. Kmi- grants whose baggage goes by express train, are ex- ceptions to this rule. In all cases where you send dupli- cate check, send by Wells, Fargo & Co., and not by T. B. M. 93. Articles mot checked, (excepting those enum- erated under the head of “perquisites”), should in all cases be way-billed, whether Company's stuff, free, or other material paid for. 24. “Checking of sample trunks—Agents and bag- gage masters will check sample trunks when in proper condition belonging to commercial and business traveling agents, recognizing same as baggage, passing only one hundred pounds free for each first-class ticket presented, and charging for all excess weight as per Rule 34. If the passenger bresenting sample trunks has regular baggage, such as trunks, valises or bags, con- taining clothing, wearing apparel, etc., to be checked also, weigh the whole number of pieces and collect extra- baggage charges on the total excess weight over the allotted one hundred pounds per ticket.” 95.

All special contract, limited-time, first, second and third-class tickets eastward read “baggage checked to Omaha only.” Baggage must not be checked on such short of destination. 98. Baggage must not be checked at C'. P. stations on third-class tickets coming from east of Ogden, Deming or El Paso. 29. Baggage may be checked to Cheyenne on first- class unlimited-time tickets, agents punching “B” tickets to full destination, unless beyond Council Bluffs. 30.

P. stations only : Y fi Francisco, Sacramento, Battle Mountain, Oakland, Marysville, Palisade, San Jose, Colfax, Elko, Lathrop, - Truckee, Maricopa, Los Angeles, Reno, Stockton, Winnemucca, Casa Grande, Tucson, Deming. Persons presenting through tickets at any other station will have baggage checked to the next one of these stations, where passenger will deliver his duplicate to S. B. M. and have his baggage re-checked to des- tination, if not beyond Council Bluffs. 31. Articles not bagguge, as defined in these rules, are not to be received for transportation in this depart- ment. Owners of such must be respectfully referred to the Express Company. 32.

Lvery child under 12 years of age, traveling on a pass or half-fare ticket, is entitled to have carried fifty pounds of baggage free. 84. EXTRA BAGGAGE.—The charge for extra baggage is, in all cases, at the rate of one cent per mile for 100 Tbs. The minimum charge is 50 cts. regardless of weight or distance, making even change of not less than 5 cts, e. g., 50, 55, 60, etc. 85. Payment for extra baggage must be made at the time it is checked. 86. Attach tag or check—such as General Baggage Agent shall furnish—to one piece of the baggage on which extra weight has been paid, indicating that the extra has been collected. 37. In every case give receipt for money paid for extra weight. If owner refuses to accept receipt, send it to Ticket Auditor. 38.

Neglect of this will be considered and treated as a serious offense. 46. C. O. D—Forward no baggage C. O. D. All extra baggage or other charges on baggage checked from any station MUST BE PREPAID. In case passengers cannot pay such charges, decline to check the baggage, and refer them to Wells, Fargo & Co's express. 47. “Duplicate check taken to secure fare”—Here- after when it becomes necessary for conductors to take from passengers their duplicate baggage checks to secure unpaid fare, the conductor will instruct the train baggage master to attach to the strap check (if on his train) a tag, stating THAT SAME is C.

The first business of S. B. M. after arrival of train is to receive baggage from and deliver baggage to the baggage car before attending to any other duty. 52. If train leaves your station before your work is fully and properly done, note and call attention to the fact on your daily report (B. 1.) If baggage is left behind on account of such de- parture, you must at once telegraph to the G. B. A, giving the facts, check number and destination, and forward by first train. When baggage is received bearing destination card or triplicate for any other station, telegraph the fact to the G. B. A, giving numbers of checks, destina- tion, and by whom left, and forward to proper des- tination by first train. 53. Smoking when on duty or in baggage room is strictly forbidden in all cases. 54.

Always sign your communications with your name, officially, not merely “Agent.” 67. TIME TO BE IN CAR OR BOAT.—Before time to leave a terminal point, be at your post at least half an hour. 68. When on your trip never leave your post without securely locking your baggage car or room, or leaving in it some one for whose conduct you are willing to become entirely responsible. 203 69. At eating stations always deliver and receive your baggage and securely close the car or room before going to your meal. Never leave baggage car to ride in another. 70. Bulletin board must always be examined carefully before leaving terminal station, to see if there are any special orders. 71.

M., see that your transfer bill accords with your report of pieces delivered at that station, and intelligibly describes every piece in the car. 82. Always hand your transfer bill to the T. B. M. receiving, or attach it securely to the transferred baggage. 83.

Owners of dogs, monkeys and parrots must, in all cases, be distinctly informed that they must be at the car door, ready to receive the same at destination, as T. B. M. has no means of caring for them after arrival. The practice of turning over dogs to S. B. M. to be kept in baggage room at destination is not allowed. 86. (Guns, in cases and not loaded, and canary birds, in cages, not exceeding one cage to each passenger, may be carried in day or sleeping cars without charge. In these rules, parrots are named as representatives of a class of large birds that would be offensive to passen- gers ; and canaries, as representatives of the class of in- offensive parlor birds. 205 87. In all other cases guns and saddles must be put in care of the T. B. M., who is allowed to collect for carrying each one any distance on his route, twenty-five cents each. 8S.

M., who is authorized to collect from the owner, for carrying each, fifty miles or less, twenty-five cents, and for any distance over fifty miles, at the rate of twenty-five cents per hundred miles. 89. The fees for carrying dogs, monkeys, parrots, guns, baby wagons and saddles are for the personal com- pensation of the T. B. M. for the extra work and re- sponsibility they cause him. 90. Perquisite fees, the same as price of passenger tickets, must be collected in advance for the whole distance ; and when T. B. M. transfers the animal or article to another T. B. M. he must pay over also all the fees except what belongs to his route.” 91. You are required, in every case, to attach such “ perquisite tag” or check as shall be furnished by the G. B. A. for that purpose to the perquisite animal or article and to give to owner the proper duplicate, which dupli- cate must be returned when animal or article is delivered. If tag is used, both tag and duplicate must be dated and signed by you, and when returned must be promptly forwarded to G. B. A. 99. SuppLIES.—T. B. M. will order all their supplies from G. B. A. one week in advance. 93. REPORTING.—Before reaching the end of your route neavest the office of the G. B. A., prepare your “received” and “delivered” reports, that they may reach the G. B.

Should baggage become damaged while on your run, by fire, collision, or other- accidents, report the case at once by wire to G. B. A. 101. MiscELLANEOUS.— Riding in baggage car—Un- less specially authorized by your conductor, you must allow no person to ride in your car. 102. Baggage must not be examined or opened, ex- cept by owner on presentation of ticket and check. 103. When baggage is opened by owner note the fact on your report. 104. « Second-class or emigrant baggage must not be checked short of real destination of such ticket. Train baggage masters will decline to put off or deliver such baggage short of the destination, unless the passenger surrenders the ticket to the train conductor, when he will make a statement of the facts to the General Bag- gage Agent, giving him the number, destination of ticket, etc. They can allow passengers of above grade to EX- AMINE their baggage, taking therefrom, if they wish, necessary articles of clothing for immediate wants, ete.
