Mr. Coman' eays: "In order
assist in the immigration work
bringing aettlem" into the North
west, the tinrrimart lines win re
dace the rate on immigrant niove
ablea, carload, from one u.iller per
hundred pounds from Misour
river common points to hfty cents
per one hundred pound--; or in
other word 4, cut the rate in two
This reduction will apply to all
points on the southern raciuo
L,inea in Oregon to Anhland and
North, so that our section of the
country will have the same ad
vantage in working immigration
from the East as any other section
in the Northwest, as the same
colonist rates are applied from the
East to Ashland aa to Portland in
all cases. This reduction will
amount to one hundred dollars and
over per car. and the rate of fifty
cents is an exceptionally law rate,
being lower than the present rate
on any other commodity.
This action is taken because of
the fact that th low passenger
rates on account of the Lewis a nd
Clark Exposition the coming year
are expected to bring a large
number of people from the middle
atates and the east into this section
and the extra inducement of such
a very low rate on their household
and personal effects leaves ni ob
stacle whatever in the way of their
coming to our section of the coun
try to locate, so far as the transpor
tat'on part is concerned, and it now
remaina for our people to put forth
the attractions and inducements of
the country itself, in the way of
climate, sure crops, great possi
bilities for the future, etc., to take
full advantage of tbe opportunity
offered by the railroads to settle up
tbe country during the coming
year."
