Excursion
Planned to
California

Announcement was made today by
Travelling Passenger Agent c. F. Van
de Water that another of the famous
southern California trips, given under
the auspices of the local Commercial
club, would leave this city on January
2. Further than this, it is declared that
the trip will be bigger, better than
ever before for the railroad company
will add several side trips that were
not included in the previous excur-
s1ons. The complete itinerary has not
yet been completed but this will be
finished and made public by tomor-
row.
The trip will include a seven days
dream OF JOY and everything down to
the minutest dteails will be included
in the price of the one ticket-$94. The
fame of these runs have spread all
over the country and a number of
berths have already been signed for,
so anxious are people to OBTAIN the
privileges of this trip.
The itinerary this year will include
a run into Riverside. Tedland and
through the orange groves of southern
California, this being over what is
known as the INSIDE track This in
itself is said to be a sight worth see
ing and we'll worth the price asked for
the entire trip.
Though the time consists or only
seven days, tickets will be good over
the O. r. & N and Southern Pacific
for a period of 80 days and this fact
will lead many to leave here with the
excursion and then spend the remain
der of the winter in the south.
AS usual Mr.. Van de Water will act
as official chaperone on this outing
and from the success with which he
conducted the others there are but few
who would not trust themselves under
his care Nothing will be left undone
by the railroad that would tend in
any manner to add to the pleasure of
this occasion and already arrange
ments are being made to accommodate
the large crowd which is expected to
take advantage of this excursion.
