New Express Rates Cut Portland to All Points
Salem Sept 9 The Oregon railroad commission approved an amended tariff for the Pacific Express company lowering rates effective October 1.

The overhaul covers all merchandise based rates and 200 separate rates, affects stations to the Washington state line and Huntington, but excludes Sumpter Valley and lower Columbia river steamer routes.
