Pobtland, Nov. 17. Tho knife was
again stuck deep and bard into Portland
San Francisco passenger rates yesterday
evening, by the O. E. & N. Co., follow
ing a slash made by the Southern Paci
fic in the morning to offset the cut made
by the former company Friday night. It
is a fight to a finieb, which probably
means tbe hottest rate war yet see on
this coast. Both companies seem deter
mined to win, and the traveling public
will have no reason to complain, for a
time, at leaet, at tbe prices exacted for
transportation either by steamer or train
tetween Portland and San Francisco..
Following are the rates as announced
last evening by both companies,' either
north or south-bound, 'bet ween the two.

- The railroad rates appear to be for tbe
five-day train only. Friday tbe O. K. &
' N. Co. announced a reduction by steam
er from $15 to $10 first-class, and from
$7.50 to $5 second-class. The Southern
Pacific yesterday morning reduced its
train rate from -$20 to $15, first-class,
and from $10 to $7.50 second-class, part
ly to meet the cut by steamer. Last
evening the O. B. & N. Co. went tbe
Southern Pacific one better, as the fol
lowing dispatch from San Francisco from
General Passenger Agent W. H. Hurl
burt, who is in that city with Receiver
McNeill, to Victor A. Schilling, assistant
general passenger agent, shows:
"'Let change appear' in tomorrow
morning's Oregonian, fixing the tariff at
just half what was wired laat night $5
and $2.50."
The Southern Pacific has not taken
action on the latest cut of tha O. R. & N.
Co., owing perhaps to the most recent
reduction being made late last night. It
is reasonable to believe, however, that
the railroad will come down a few pegs
lower. The rates by steamer include
meals and berths, both first and second
class. Tbe rates by train include berths
in first and second-class sleeping-cars.
Meals must be paid for at eating
stations. ' .
" The siash in rates does not affect the
Portland-San Francisco business only.
Both companies announce reductions
between Portland and Los Angeles.- The
O. R. & N. Co., in conjunction with the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company, is out
for the Portland-Los Angeles passenger
business by eteamer, and has bulletined
the following rats: First-class, $17.50 ;
second-class, 11.50. Baggage will be
checked through from either end, Tbe
regular first class faro by the Southern
Pacific from Portland to Los Angeles is
$35. The reductions made, however, be
tween Portland and San Francisco ma
terially affect this business,' and rates
have come down a good deal. Just what
rate the railroad company will establish
between Portland and Los Angeles to
meet the very active 6leamship competi
tion is not known yet.
Receiver McNeill, General Passenger
Agent Hurlburt and General Freight
Agent Campbell, of the D. R. & N. Co.,
are still in San Francisco, as are also
Manager Koehler and Passenger Agent
Roger, of the Southern Pacific lines in

Highest of all in Leavening Power.
quarters of - the Southern Pacific Com
pany, is well known Receiver McNeill
is a fighter, and bo is Manager Koehler.
But they were not alone in the contest.
Reductions will at once be made from
San Francisco to St. Paul and other
Northwestern points including Idaho
and Montana. The Southern Pacific
cannot avoid it, The present rate from
San Francisco to St. Paul, second-class
$47.90. From Portland to St. Paul it ia
$40. The old eecond-claaa eteamer rate
between San Francisco and Portland
was $7.50. Now the second-class steam
er rate is $2.50, which, added to the $40
rate from Portland to St. Paul, will make
a rte of $43.50 from San Francisco to
St. Paul by. Eteamer and train. The
Southern Pacific will, of course, meet
this reduction. In this same way tbe
second-class rate from San Francieco to
Butte will come down to $35.10 from
$43.60. ' " ' -
