Interstate ruling ends high fare route to California
The Interstate Commerce Commission orders ending all year excursion and summer tourist fares from Chicago to San Francisco via the northwest routes. Washington State regulators had challenged the charge, and Spokane and Seattle business leaders welcome the move as boosting Pacific Northwest travel. Plans form to promote See America First trips with a Pacific Northwest Tourist Association seeking funding from Washington Oregon and British Columbia. The article also covers a Washington water code proposal to require use to hold riparian rights, a Spokane sewing and cooking class cost report, and local notes on public subscription practices.
