Westward Ho for Colonists Rail Rates Boost Immigration
Railroads prepare for record western travel with fall colonist rates to Oregon. A $26 fare from Missouri river points to any Oregon point goes into effect for 30 days, expected to surge traffic beyond last spring's record. Pendleton and Umatilla counties stand to gain from influx aided by two carloads of settlers en route. Fares from other points vary up to $50, with private land firms promoting eastern settlement.
