"Telegraph Rate Cut By Western Union"

Announced 13 July 1898


	With the completion of the Western Union Telegraph Company
	circuit between Victoria, British Columbia and Port Townsend,
	Washington, the commercial telegraph rate has been cut from
	the current $1.10 [Cdn] to 25 cents for ten words.  A message
	now will only be handled by one company rather than the
	previous three telegraph companies.
