LOWER EXPRESS RATES. i An order amending tho findings of last April in the matter of reduction f thn rotoa if thn Pacific RxnrGHS ' company was made this week by tho j railroad commission after a confer ence with the express company. Greatly reduced rates will go into ef fect October 1 without being contest ed by the express company. The achievement la one of the most not able brought about since the creation and organization of the Oregon rail road commission. ; Those rates that are to go Into ef fect within 20 days bring about an average reduction between Portland and Paln line points of 19,6 per cent, betweent Portland and branch line points 20.7 per cent and a general av erage reduction between Pdrtlund and all points of 20.3 per cent The new rates wlll.be a great boon to Port land, as possibly 90 per cent of the business tarried by the Pacific Ex- press company in Oregon Is Port- land , business. The readjustment Includes 3200 separate rates, it covers all express stations, Portland eastward to the Washington state line of the O. R. & N. company. It does not include tho stations on the Sumpter Valley rail way, which were taken over by tlu. Pacific Express company after the submission of the controversy to the commissionexcept as far as affecte.1 automatically by the reduction to and from Baker City, on which Sumpter Valley rates are based. Nor does the readjustment reach lower Columbia river points, served by the Pacific Express company by steamer, as uueh traffic Is necessarily largely Inter state, Following table, shows reductions to a number of important stations Merthuudise rates, in cents per hun dred pounds: RateH. , Between Portland Kates and Old.
