Chicago. Roek Island and Pa
cific Railway.

The Chicago, Rock Island and Pa
ci6c Railway is needed to be one o
the finest specimens of railroad il
the world, and is great medium FOL
connecting the east with toe west.
As regards equipment, roadbed and
structure, 1t is claimed that it cannot
be surpassed; it is noted for its court
esy and consideration for passengers,
whose convenience and wants are
ever carefully attended to, and every
thing that can be imagined which
would add to the comfort and pleas
ure OF those travelling over 1t is
primarily attended to; Tor rapidity of
transportation it dsres composition,
while il passes through a delightful
tract OF country, in itself Inviting,
and which to anyone who appreciates
the beautiful and desires 10 see the
country through which he ls passing.
is a Weighty consideration. Another
and very important item in this CON-
nection is the fact that you are not
put to the trouble of leaving the train
to obtain your meals. nor do you lose
the time incidental to railroad travel
ing and eating, which, at best, is so
limited that all the comfort and
pleasure is lost; tut on this route
meals, as good as can be secured at
hotel, are furnished the passenger
while travelling over the prairies OF
Illinois and Iowa. Not only does the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
Railway Company run palace dining
cara, but also cars used rs smoking
saloons and PulImsn palace sleeping
sleeping cara, all used for the purpose
designsted. Beautiful and substsn-
tial iron bridges span the Mississippi
and Missouri rivers at all points
crossed by this line. and transfers are
avoided at Council Bluff, Kansas
City, Leavenworth and Atchison, con-
nections being made in union depots.
