COST OF A WEEK AT OMAHA
Room and Board for Exposition Wis
itors at Moderate Prices,

Perhaps the first consideration with
those contemplating visit to the
Trans-Mississippi Exposition this sum-
mer is that OF cost. To the few, "money
is no object;' to the many, it may be
said that the cost of visit to the Ex-
position at Omaha is moderate and rea-
sonable.
In the first place, the railroads have
granted exceedingly low rates, especially
to the territory near BY. Rooms can be
obtained at moderate cost in any part
Of the city, in some cases including
board, and those to whom time is money
should remember that the compactness
OF the Exposition buildings and the &C.
feasibility from the center OF the city
makes it possible to ''see the sights'' in
much less time than was required at the
Columbian exposition at Chicago. One
day spent in each OF the main build
ings, with two or three days for the
state buildings and other attractions,
will occupy about two weeks, and a
good general idea OF the fair can be OBJ
tanned in half that time.
Visitors should communicate immedi-
ately on their arrival in the city with the
Official Information Bureau, 1919 Far
nam street. Baggage can be checked
direct to this address at a charge of rs
cents to cover the cost of hauling from
the depot. The bureau is under con.
| tract with the Exposition management
to furnish free reliable information in re-
gard to rooms, board, transportation,
carriages, baggage, messenger service,
etc. The bureau has on it's books some
5000 rooms, mostly in private resi-
| dences, to which visitors eau be referred
entirely without charge. Comfortable
! rooms can be obtained either near the
Exposition grounds or near the business
part OF the city fer 81 night, or SIS q
week for single person, and for $1.5O
a night or SO week for two. In some
cases light breakfast is included in
these prices. There are also rooms at
higher or lower figures in all parts Of The
city. The hotels also furnish the usual
accommodations at the usual prices.
In some cases board can be obtained
in the same house, and in every case the
Information Bureau will give informa'
ton as to the distance from any one Of
the rooms on it's list to the nearest
restaurant or boarding house. Coco
board can be had for SIS week for each
person, or at usual prices at restaurants
all over the city. Plenty OF good dining
halls and lunch counters are in operation
IN close proximity to the grounds al
which visitors will be fairly and literally
treated. There are a dozen restaurants
on the Exposition grounds, besides
about two dozen lunch counters, tea
gardens, ice cream stands, etc., at all Of
which prices are reasonable. At most
OF these the usual charges are cents fol
tea and coffee, pie, etc., 10 cents for
