Made at Moderate Outlay.
Perhaps the first consideration with
those contemplating q visit to the
Transnlississippi Exposition this sum
mer is thato cost. 10 the few, s.lnoney
is no object )" to the many, it may be
said that the cost of q viS.t to the Ex-
position at Omahg will lie less than to
previous eNpositions.
In the first place, the railroads have
granted exceedingly low rates, espec-
tally to the territory near by. Rooms
can be obtained ut moderate cost i'll any
part OF the city, Ill some cases including
board, and those to whom time Is
money should remember that the COM
pactness of the Exposition buildings and
the accessibility from the center of the
city makes it possible to ssee the sights
in much less time than was required at
the Columbian exposition at Chicago.
One day spent in each of the main
buildings, with two or three days for
the state buildings and other attrac-
tons, will occupy about two weeks, but
u good general idea of the fair can be
obtained in half that time.
Visitors should communicate immedi.
ately on their arrival i'll the city with
the Official Information Bureau, 1919
Farnam street. Baggage can be checked
direct to this address at a charge Of 20
cents to cover cost of hauling from the
depot. The Bureau is under contract
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 its books some
5000 rooms, mostly i'll private resi-
dences, to which visitors can BIZ
referred entirely without charge. Com
Portable rooms can be obtained either

higher or lower figures in all parts Of
the city. The hotels will also furnish

dining halls and lunch counters are in
operation in close proximity to the
grounds at which visitors will be fairly
and literally treated. There are u
dozen restaurants OH the Exposition

counters, tea gardens, ice cream stands,
ETC., ut all of which it is promised that

for each person above ~ years of age.
Children between 5 and IL years, "a
cents. These figures include every.
thing within the fences, except the
amusement features on the Midway,
which are in the hands Of individual
concessionaires.
Paying IS a week for room, another
90 for board and SO cents a day for gem
eral admission t o the grounds, makes the
cost of q week Mt the Exposition about
$40, this figure, however, allowing little
or nothing for expenses oISthe Midway
or incidentuls. Siuce both board and
room can be obtained ut lower figures,
however Especially if two persons oc.
cupybne room), $40 maybe set down
! as a reasonable minimum cost OF a week
