Already the old veterans, their families
and friends, are figuring as to probable
cost of trip, and deciding which route to
take.
To enable them to make the journey
at reasonable cost, and plan in advance
for this, their great jubilee time, the
Santa Fe route has just notified the chair
man of the Western Passenger associa-
tion that it will sell tickets for the occa-
sion named on September 2 and 8, from
points west of Missouri river, and on
September 8 and from points on and
east of the Missouri river. These dates
are placed early in the month so that
visitors may witness the great naval re-
union, which forms an important feature
of the opening days of the encampment.
Besides convenient selling days, the
Santa Fe also announces that it will
honor G. A. r. tickets for return from it's
eastern terminals on any day within the
final limit of Sept. % for tickets sold in
territory east of Colorado common
points, and Sept. 30 for tickets sold from
territory west thereof. This concession
will accommodate members of the G. A.
r., and that is what the Santa Fe always
aims to do. 1t tries to please it's patrons.
The rate is one fare for the round trip,
added to the lowest rates authorized
from Chicago and st. Louis, which
makes a rate of $51.O5 via Chicago and

turn. Call on agent of A., I. 4 s. +. rail
