To stimulate travel by rail between Portland and Western Oregon points both the Southern Pacific company and the Oregon Electric have an nounced exceptionally low round-trip summer excursion fares. The Southern Pacific has announced reductions in 15-day limit round-trip fares that bring tickets down to prac tically a 2-cents-a-mile basis. The rates of both companies will be in effect between May 26 and Septem ber 30. "All of the new fares are very sub stantial reductions from those now in effect and the week-end and round trip fares are only slightly higher than the fare one way," said W. D. Skinner, vice-president of the Oregon yesterday. "These . reduced fares are being established during the summer season with a view of stim ulating travel by rail and they are on such a low basis that it can no longer be said that there is any economy in using the commercial auto bus lines, and we hope to dis courage the use of private automobiles. "On. the basis of the new fares it will certainly be cheaper for the private car owner to travel by rail than even to drive his own machine. With frequent train service between Portland and points in the Willamette and Tualatin valleys, passengers by rail can suit their convenience as to time of movement, almost as closely as if driving their own cars."
