Modern travel IL exacting. 1t ex-
poets the finest in everything and it

northwest section OF the United
States are no exception to the rule,
and, so far, at least, as concerns the
train service between Chicago. st.
Louis and Twin Gtips-St, Paul and
MinneapOlis-the demands Of the
public have already been met in q
handsome manner by the railroads.
1t is also true that the service ON the
lines beween st. Paul, Duluth and
the Pacific coast has been reasonably
good for number Of years.
The year 1900 IL, however, to wit

in the passenger train service in the
North west, and this is all the more

not generally superior, to the most
luxurious trains to be found on the
