sources of the Pacific Northwest, q
vast territory of wonderful fertility
and unexcelled scenic attrActiveness
which embraces 3o7, 900 square miles.

made are good for ninety days, but
not later than November 30th, and
provide for almost unlimited stopover
privileges, which make possible trips
to scenic points of world renown at
comparatively little additional ex-
pense., Yellowstone Park may be
visited on stop-over via the North
ern Pacific route. For Sl1 additional
to the cost { + his excursion ticket, the
visitor may make the trip to Portland
by way of one of the northern routes,
and return by southern route
through California, or vice.verss.

and historic interest which may be
reached from Portland in half day
or less, at very little expense. Such
side trips include trip up the Colum-
bia River, through unsurpassed seen

Hood, more then II 600 feet high, or
