The Yellowstone Park is one of the most
wonderfully attractive regions of the world.
Its beauties of scenery, the wild grandeur
of its mountains and canons, compel the
admiration of every visitor, while its ,phe-
geysers and curious mineralogical
formations make it rich field for the in

natural desire to visit may be accomplished

August 81.
As the tour will be run under the person

It might be well to state, however, that
no other means of seeing the park thor

A special train, consisting of dining.
Pullman vestibule drawing-room sleeping
and observation cars, which
will be the best that can be secured. will
be provided. in which passengers will live
en- route, and whenever the journey is
broken the choicest rooms in the leading
hotels will be reserved for the use of the
tourists, for which regular rates are paid
so that the guests, although members of
party, enjoy all the privileges of~indiYid-
uals who may have made their own selec-
ions.
The party viii be conducted throughout
BY tourist agent especially selected for
his ability and experience, with chaperon

The rate covering every necessary ex.
