Personal Note By Editor.

We have travelled few miles in our life
time, and know what it is to be uncom-
fortably housed in a poorly upholstered
car and rudely tossed up and down on old
iron rails that are laid on dirt road bed.
We have been there; but it was always on
other roads than the Santa Fe Their main
line between Chicago and Denver is hard
to beat. The rails are of heavy steel, the
track smooth and rock ballasted; and the
through "Cannonball" train that flies at
a fifty miles per-hour speed over this ele-
CANT roadway is as pretty a bit of work
mansbip as Messrs. Pullman ever turned
out. Each vestibule sleeper is model of
luxury. and as easy as a cradle. Chair
cars, library cars, and day coaches are all
carefully adapted to the travellers every
want. The Santa Fe is rightly named
''the most comfortably line" SO

1ngefSCu on CALIFORNIA
In recent magazine article, Mr. Ernest
Ingersoll, the noted writer, says:
1.-The climate of Southern California in
winter closely resembles that of Egypt.
It's equability is constant. and its dryness
is proverbial. The only complaint made is
that it is too nearly perfect. Residents
bred in the eastern states confess now and
then that rousing storm would give them
grateful sensation. But this sentiment
meets with no favor from the man who has
just fled from superiority of wetness and
chilling gales. To him perpetual summer
seems perpetual paradise, and to the in
valid dreading the advance of disease, the
still, arid atmosphere is as the breath of
life''
The most comfortable way to reach the
Pacific coast is via Santa Fe Route
