AN ON KoaD MADE NEW.

And now another JOKE is taken away from

to Chicago "the worst way" and was di-
rected to the Il. & o. station. for the work
of strengthening the curves, which were at
once the delight and the horror of all

Il o." is about concluded. and the trip
through the mountains no longer reminds
one of crossing the English channel on
particularly rough day.
This will be welcome news to the general
public and to B. IL o. enthusiasts-people
who would not take any other route to
their destinations if the b. d o. would pos
sibly serve them. These are mostly pas
sionate admirers of natural scenery to
whom the gigantic panorama along the B.
g. o. route can never become stale. Indeed,
why shonld it, when it is never twice the
same Scenery on scale of such immen-
sity is like the ocean in its susceptibility to
change. Not only with the seasons, but
with the DAYS, does its beauty vary. And
even through summer day it Is never the
same scene an hour at a time. Like a
Kaleidoscope, which the slightest alteration
in position occasionsa a totally new view. so
the forests and the mountains along this
scenic route assume wholly new appear
ances with every passing cloud and every
weather condition.
Now that the exaggerated bug bear of the
B. & o. curves has been finally disposed of,
and its road bed made second to none. the
excellence of its equipment and the pecul-
iarly "make-yourself-comf mfortable-we'll- lido
everything -we-can-for-you" atmosphere
which surrounds the traveller the instant b e
steps aboard through train on this road
will shortly double and treble the
number of b. & o. enthusiasts. to whom the
journey over the mountains is less journey
than pleasure.
