Portland, Hopt. 22. Thu state railroad commission iaaued
un order today which intend« to compel the Southern Pacific
Company to reduce the chia» rates on its lines between Portland
and the California state line, investigation of their reasonable
ness having been made, and the commission sets forth in the or-
der that the present class ratio arc unjustly discriminatory, be-
cause they are not arranged on a uniform relationship us to each
other.
Rates on the line between Portland and Eugene in ten dif
ferent classes arc reduced in order as follows:
Beginning at Stcond-olaas rate: 42-39, 39-32, 30-28, 33-
23. 31-23, 25-18, 20 14, 15 12 and 12 9.
The reduction between Portland and Brownsville is greater
approximately than for any other diatancc. Beginning at the
second class they are: 34-33. 31-28, 28 24, 27-20, 20-20,
20-10, 17 12, 13- 10 and 11-8.
The reduction between Portland and these two towns are
comparatively the same as those made between Portland and
Roseburg, Glendale, Granta Pass, Medford, Ahaland and Sher
idan.
Although a reduction ia made on clasa ratea to several email
towna between Salem and Portland, they ure very email.

Milan, Sept. 23.—George Chaves, the Peruvian aviator,
flew from Brieg, Switzerland, over Simplon Pass successfully
today, but in alighting at Domodossola, Italy, a sudden gust of
wind overturned his machine and the aviator suffered a broken
thigh and leg and his machine was demolished.
Chavez made a wonderful flight over the mountains and
came down gracefully on the Italian side, and was within thirty
feet of the earth when the accident happened which deprived
him of the $20,000 prize offered for the succesesful accom
plishment of the feat“.
