visitors rivals the Chicago fair and who'll

The "all-Amerfcan' idea is distinctly

cruder architecture, palmer and less or

memory, which is harmonious and pleas
ing and carries the impression of his
toric completeness
We wish to say with the utmost ear
nestness. that no one who, by any rea-
sonable sacrifice, can spend a day
month at the Pan-American will ever re-
gret doing so.
The Minnesota Party.
The representatives of $50 Minnesota
newspapers have just spent nearly
week at the exposition. With us were
hundred ladies, our wives and daughters.
With us also were Gov. Van SAINT and
his party, in all making nearly 300 per-
sons. Every one without exception, was
delighted. We of this western country,
have had no real conception of the mag
nitude and completeness of this exposi-
ton. nor of its educational value, other
wise tens of thousands would go from
this state alone. Every one of the 800 of
our excursion has come home to urge
every friend he has to go, to see and en-
Joy.
To aid those who may contemplate the
trip, we wish to tell the plain, unvar-
nished tale of this 1901 editorial outing,
and to give simple facts that will be
most useful to the visitor, saving him
many delays. annoyances and consider
able expense. We take it that most who
will visit the Pan-American from Mime
sofa will have limited time and limited
means. They will wish to see the most
they can for their money, with the maxi
mum of personal comfort.
The Route.
First then, as to your route You cam
not possibly do better than to take the
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul road to
Chicago. and the Grand Trunk from
there on. The service on these roads is
not exceled in the whole world nor are
there any better equipments, smooth
er rOadbeds. If you have never realized
what a good roadbed means to the
traveller, outside of safety to life just
notice as you ride over the Milwaukee
and Grand Trunk. that after you reach
Buffalo, you are as fresh as when you
left home Or, if you started tired you
will reach there rested and refreshed,
ready for tramping and sightseeing You
do not have to hang onto your seat all
day nor lay awake all night, to stay in
your berth. You can read with ease,
watch the landscape with comfort and
sleep as peacefully as in your own bed
at home.
The Milwaukee runs five solid passenger
trains daily each way between ST. Paul
and Chicago. 1t gives you a daylight
ride if you wish in chair cars down the
Mississippi river, passing Hastings, Red
Wing, .Winona and La Crosse, a route
that for scenic beauty is uneXcelled. It's
great Pioneer Limited leaves St. Paul at
B:10 p. and arrives in Chicago at $3.50
the following morning. 1t is the pride of
the road and the admiration of all rail-
road men. But just to show what it can
do when put to the test, our special was
whirled from ST. Paul to Chicago in just
twelve hours after run that was as easy
and smooth as rubber tires on macadam.
This road also is the only one having the
block signal system for the entire ST.
Paul Chicago route, making collisions i'm
possible. The elegance of its trains, the
completeness of its service. the courtesy
of its employees and the effort made in
every way for your comfort and enjoy
ment, cost you nothing-they are that
much extra for your money. It is sig
niticant fact that no other road ever
claims to excel the Milwaukee, the ut
most of the pretentions being that they
are Just as good" It is the model and
its limited train is indeed the Pioneer =
1t lead the way and still leads it.
The Grand Trunk.
What the Milwaukee is northwest OF
Chicago that the Grand Trunk railway
system is to the northern east Its
splendid roadbed insures your ease and
safety. 1t is Differed and managed al
most wholly by young men, and they
have amazed the railroad world by max
ing 1t the most popular road east of
Chicago, and they have done this in just
the few last years. They have done it
by providing everything the travelling
public could reasonably or even unrea-
sonably ask for. Keen and alert they
have looked to see where others have
lacked and worked to provide that for
their road. They handle the large ex-
cursion party and the single passenger
just the same. Every bit of their knowl-
edge and help is at their service, and
every employe looks to see that they
are cared for and reach their destination
quickly and comfortably. With our party
Mr.. David Brown, the roads travelling

to Buffalo and back, personally attend
ing to the train service and the hum
dreds of little details that conduee so
much to the smoothness of such a trip.
