Chicago Aug 20 Unprecedented extensions of excursion fares for winter travel to and from the Pacific coast were announced by Hugh W Siddall chairman of the Trans Continental and Western Passenger associations. Beginning October 1 first class tickets at two cents a mile with a 30 day return may be bought until May 14 next year. Tourist sleepers at 1 8 cents per mile and coach at 1 35 cents per mile have a final May 14 purchase date with a six months return.
