Christian Endeavorers who propose
attending the national convention in
San Francisco should note that single
cars, either standard or tourist, may
be chartered for the round trip as fol-
lows: Standard cars, $45 per day; tour
list, $25 per day; on the westward trip
cars can be side-tracked over Sunday
for twelve to twenty-fuur hours with
out charge. An arrangement will prob
ably be made whereby the twenty-four
hours may be divided into twelve hours
each at two points of interest, at one
of which the Sabbath may be spent.
No charge will be made for cars If
unoccupie1 while at the terminal at
Oakland (San Francisco), at Raymond
iihe end of the railroad for parties GO
ing to Yosemite Valley) nor at Cinna-
bar for parties going into Yellowstone
Park) Cars will accommodate twenty
four to forty-eight persons, depending
upon the number of persons in berth.
A company of thirty-six, by chartering
a car may make the trip from Chicago,
by direct routes, for $S.73 for each per
son, as against the regular fare for the
round trip of $31 for a berth for one or
two persons. If only twenty-four oc-
cupy a car the cost would be $1312 for
each for the round trip; party of fif-
teen could charter a car, each having
a berth to himself at a cost inside the
regular rates. If, therefore, parties of
fiftee en- or more can be made up in any
town or city, a car or cars should be
chartered. Cars will not be chartered
for parties of less than fifteen. Trains
can be made up of chartered cars for
the west-bound trip. leaving each car
to return over a different route if de-
sired,
Those chartering cars to return over
the northern lines should, in making
their calculations, add two days to the
length of trip over direct routes for the
lines in the United States and three
days for the Canadian Pacific. Get
particulars in reference to sleeoing-car
matters from State Excursion mana
gers, who will be fully advised on the
subject. J. G. Manning, of PittstOn. is
the transportation agent for this state.
