The Western Pacific has announced a
reduction in its passenger fare between
this city and Salt Lake City to $23.5S,
making the fare correspond with that
on other lines between here and that
city. This is caused by the order of
the Interstate commerce commission a
year ago, which called for reduction
on the part of the Southern Pacific of
a fare between the two cities not to
exceed 3 cents mile. The dis
tance on the Western Pacific is longer
than that on tho Southern Pacific, but
the same rate is made for competitive
reasons.
