Not in the history of transcontinental railroads has summer travel to the west been as heavy as at the present time, according to William McMurray, gen eral passenger agent of the Oregon. Washington Railroad & Navigation company, wno is Home from a pleasure visit in tne east. Passenger travel Is much heavier than usual," said Mr. McMurray, "es pecially to the west. Train No. 1 out of Chicago a few nights ago had to be run in two sections, and It was neces sary to carry two diners to accommo date passengers. Of course, lots of this traffic is going to California, and it is surprising at this time of year. It Is the heaviest summer travel we ever have had. Parka Draw Tourists. "In my opinion the westward move ment Is brought about by the advertis ing of the administration of the west as the nation's playground. Yellowstone, Glacier, Yosemite, Crater Lake and Rainier parks all will draw heavily of tourists coming west. This will mean a heavy north and south traffic along the coast, from San Diego to Vancover, and it will mean also that the hotels of Portland, Seattle, Tacoma and other cities will be filled all summer, and that the Columbia river highway will have a big patronage. "Hotels and restaurants in the east are crowded, and people are paying higher prices than ever before, though feeling it less. Railroad officials are doing everything possible to make travel pleasant and comfortable, as was indicated, by my trip to New York city and return, a distance of some 60U0- miles. The trains were 'on the dot' at destinations, and testified to efficiency in conduct of railroad affairs. Soldiers Oet Consideration. "Travelers are given three good meals each day, the same as at home, and din ing car service Is less expensive than In any of the big hotels of the east." Mr. McMurray says orders have been Issued that returning soldiers be given first consideration during late June and the month of July, when their demands are expected to be heaviest, and rail roads are preparing to give every serv ice to the men who are hurrying to their homes. While in New York Mr. McMurray welcomed his son, W. R. McMurray, who is a member of the 15th cavalry. Just returned from overseas. The young man was ordered to Fort Russell, Wyo ming, and arrived there Just a week after reaching the United States, show ing with what rapidity the railroads are moving incoming soldiers.
