The Northern Pacific Offers Tempting
Inducements for the Trip.
General Passenger Agent Chas. s.
Fee, of the Northern Pacific road, has
issued handsome folder containing
valuable information for those contem-
plating a trip this year to the National
Park, the mecca of thousands during
every summer season. Mr.. Fee an
nounces the following rates for 1904:
a $500 round-trip rate will be in ef-
feet daily from Livingston, Mont,
May 31st to September Goth, inclusive.
covering rail and stage trip, Livingston
to Mammoth Hot Springs and return.
a $500 round-trip rate will be in
effect daily, May 31st to September
Goth, inclusive, from Livingston, Mont,
covering transportation, rail and stage,
for the entire park tour.
A $500 round-trip rate will be In
effect daily from ST. Paul, Minneapolis,
Duluth and Superior, May Goth to Sep
TENDER 9th, inclusive, covering the
railway journey and park coaching
trip to all leading points of interest,
including Mammoth Hot Springs, Nor
ris, Lower and Upper Geyser Basins,
Yellowstone Lake and the Grand Can
yon of the Yellowstone.
Low rates to the Pacific coast. A
very low round-trip rate will be made
from Chicago, st. Louis and eastern
territory-less than one fare-i. e.,
from the two cities named, $G1.O0 to
Los Angeles and San Francisco, at the
time of the knights Templar and Odd
Fellows meetings. tickets ON sale daily,
August 10th to September 10th, 1904,
inclusive. This rate applies for either
the going or return trip via st. Paul,
Minneapolis, Duluth, the Northern
Pacific, Yellowstone Park, Puget
Sound, Portland and the Shasta or
o. r. & N. S. S. Line to or from Cali
fornia.
New hotels in the Yellowstone. A
new hotel, Old Faithful Inn. having
accommodations for 25O tourists, will
be completed at Upper Geyser Basin
prior to June list. 1904. This will be
the most artistic and comfortable hotel
in the west. Yellowstone Lake Hotel
has been doubled in capacity and
greatly improved. This brings the
capacity of all the park hotels up to
$50.
No crowding in the Yellowstone.
Even at the height of the season,
which this year will be August 18th to
2Sth, there will be no crowding, such
as was experienced in handling the
Christian Endeavorers in '96. Not on
ly have the hotels been enlarged and
new ones constructed, but the low
California rates apply either going or
returning via the Northern Pacific,
thus enabling the railway to distribute
its Yellowstone business over a much
longer period. In addition to this the
park companies have agreed to restrict
their party business to $50 per day,
which we are assured will leave an
ample margin for regular tourists COM
ing singly and in twos and threes, any
reports to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
Greatly improved roads will be a
feature of the Yellowstone tour in
1904. and in addition the government
engineer in charge has arranged to
practically eliminate the dust nuisance
by sprinkling 100 miles of the roads,
south of Gardiner, daily.
