TTTE MORNING OREG ONI AN, "WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1D21 RAILWAY CllfJ SI RATE CUT TO SALEM Oregon Electric Plans New Blow at Busses. AUTO . LINE SUSPENDED Operator of Arrow Cars Announces That He Cannot Meet Present Conditions and Survive. After slashing fares to Astoria, Seaside and some intermediate points, and having done it o successfully that the traffic is close to three times what it previously was, the Spokane, Portland & Seattle railway is considering: a cut on the Oregon Electric to Salem. It may come at any time. "The patient is suspected to have fever he may break out at any moment.- said "Dr." W. D. Skinner, otherwise traffic manager of the Hill line system, the roads of which cover considerable territory in Oregon and which has been and is in competition with automobile busses. There are symptoms of serious disorder on the patient's Salem arm, and it would not be surprising to the doctor should there be a more pronounced evidence at any time." This was Mr. Skinner's way of say ing that there probably will be a clashing of the fares between the state capital and' Portland. Road Losing? Money. The Oregon Electric line to Salem, as well as all other electric inter urbans connected with the big rail road systems in this state, has been losing money and business steadily since the stage lines began opera tions. Despite this fact, the service lias been maintained in first-class style, with the companies pocketing the losses and paying interest on the investments and meeting pay rolls from other earnings or in any way they can. Busses throughout the 'Willamette river valley have been cutting into the railroad business, especially the passenger end, for a long time. They are running there as elsewhere with out regulation of any kind, and have been charging rates under those of the rail lines. It now looks like there is to be a hot fight for the mastery of that situation, such as on the Astoria-beach run now is in full swing between the railroad, the eteamers and the auto busses. Baa Fare Increased. The busses have, up to a short time ago, been charging $1.50 one way to Salem from Portland, but recently increased it to $1.75. The railroad fare is $1.98 one way; daily round trip $3.40, good for date of sale only, with privilege of a week end or Saturday-to-Monday fare of $3. Under these rates business has in creased somewhat, especially since the bus lines put their fare up to $1.75, according to Mr. Skinner. "Our experience thus far, since we cut the rates to Astoria and beach points shows that people like to ride in modern steel cars and in safety," said W. F. Turner, president of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle railway, yesterday. "We are carrying about three times the number of passen gers we formerly did, and are receiv ing a large number of complimentary letters on having made traveling popular on that line. Even '-with a slight rain falling an unusually large number of people 395, to be exact left ou our early-imorning train today, and the total of passengers carried for the day was 1616." Boa Liu Suspends. Announcement of the temporary suspension of the Arrow bus line's cars was made yesterday, the man ager stating that be could not meet present rates and survive, hence would await developments. The steamer situation was: The Iralda, which has a 55-cent rate to Astoria, left 20 minutes ahead of her morning schedule, laden with 150 passengers, her full capacity, and leaving 100 or bo standing on the dock, her owner declared. The Hark ins Transportation steamer Georglana went out with less than capacity crowd, it was said by her operators, but they have no present intention of changing rates. ROAD SIGNS ARE PUT UP Work Done in Connection With Publicity of State Fair. Additional road signs along the Pa cific highway from Portland to the n.n...i. 1 1 n. n hftinir nut this week by A. E. Shearer and George O. Brandenburg of the Oregon State Mo tor association, who left Portland Sunday to carry on the work.' Through . i .. i A XT T.oa BflrrfttJirv of the luo uu jt. J state fair board and a member of the membership comnuuee oi is association, signs were obtained and are being put up in connection with publicity work for the Oregon state fair. Many complaints have been made by tourists that the Pacific highway has not been properly marked, par ticularly at points where road work is in progress and detours are neces sary, and at a recent meeting of the directors of the Oregon State Motor association the matter was taken up and it was decided to put up road signs to augment those placed by the highway department. While the signs being put up by Mr. Shearer and Mr. Brandenburg are only temporary In character, they will serve throughout the remainder of the touring season. GORGE TRAIL IMPROVED Club Members Spend Sunday Open ing XTp Passage. The trail in Oneonta gorge Is now passable to he falls, a distance of a quarter of mile through which the trail was almost impaBsable having been repaired and worked over by the Trails' club of Oregon last Sun day. Under the leadership of R. J. Grace, president of the club, 21 mem bers started out last Sunday with picks and shovels and spent the entire day working on the trail. Before the repair work by the club it was necessary for anyone going through to the falls to wade waist deep in the water at various points along the route. Next Sunday it is planned that an other party of the members will make the trip and put in timbers which will prevent the trails being washed out by the rains this fall.
