BIG SAVING IN
FREIGHT RATES
Colonial rates from the East
will apply to points on the Ore
gon Trunk as soon as they go into
effect March 10 and home-seekers
will be able to ride into Central
Oregon on first-class equipment,
including a Pullman parlor car,
according to arrangements com
pleted between W. E. Coman,
general freight and passenger agent
of the road, and the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Mr. Coman received advice from
Washington that the Interstate
Commerce Commission had waived
the rule requiring that tariffs be
published for 30 days before going
into effect and that the low rates
that will apply to all Northwestern
points from March 10 to April 10
can be made applicable as far south
as the Oregon Trunk will ojerate
in that period.
This will enable a colonist to
buy a ticket at St. Paul, St. Louis,
Kansas City, Omaha or any .other
Missouri River point for 125 and
travel all the way to Madras or
Metolius without additional charge.
The fare from Chicago to Metolius
will be (33, the same as it will be
it Portland.
Passengers will be routed over
either the Northern Pacific or the
Great Northern from the Missouri

Oregon Trunk Publishes
Schedules.
ROAD NOW IN OPERATION
Fine Coaches will be Used for
Passenger Service; Obser
vation Car, Etc
The most grsphic story yet writ
ten about Central Oregon de
veloped when the Oregon Trunk
railroad announced it new freight
schedules which became operative
March 1. The blazing of the rail
road train into the interior, which
has just been accomplished by John
F. Stevens, marks the greatest re
iver to Spokane, via the North
auk from Spokane to Fallbridge,
Washington, thence across the
Columbia to the Oregon Trunk
and up the Deschutes Valley to
their destination.
This information has been
printed on all the advertising mat
ter issued by the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific roads and
great additional influx of settlers is
xpected in consequence.
Mr. Coman completed the ar
rangements of the equipment on
the passenger trainB that are to
operate between the mouth of the
Deschutes River and Metolius. It
will consist of a combination ex
press and baggage car, a smoking
car, two first class passenger
coaches and a parlor car each way.
The schedule was announced as
follows: Train to leave Portland
via the North Bank at 9 a. tn. and
arrive at Madras at 8:42 p. m ,
arriving at Metolius at y p. m.,
train to leave Metolius at 7:30 a.
m leave Madras at 7:50 a. m., ar
riving in Portland at 8:15 p. m.
More time is allowed for the trip
from Metolius down the valley
than is given for the run from the
mouth of the Deschutes up the
valley, because it is desired to
make certain connections with the
North Bank train at Fallbridge in
the evening. On account of pos
sible delays attending the intro
duction of service, plenty of time
will be allowed for making this
connection. After the new bridge
is completed across the Columbia
River and the roadbed is further
improved the time can be greatly
reduced. It is aimed eventually
to operate a 12-hour service be-.
tween Portland and Bend, which
is nearly 50 miles south of Metoli
us.
By providing parlor- observation
cars on the runs up and down the
Deschutes Valley the Oregon
Trunk probably is establishing a
new mark in railroad operation
on a branch line. It is not record
ed that any branch west of the
Mississippi River ever has intro
duced Pullman parlor cars for the
accommodation of its patrons with
the beginning of the service.
Officials of the North Bank be
lieve that this extra accommoda
tion will pay as they are sure that
