Chicago & North Western Ry. becomes
effective Sunday, May 18th, by which
the train service between Chicago and
Denver aud between Chicago and
Portland, Oregon, is greatly improved.
Under this new arrangement new
train between Chicago and the Pacific
Northwest known as the "Chicago
Portland Special" leaves the Wells
ST. Station daily at 1910 z. M. and
arrives at Portland on the third DAY
a 100 o'occk in the evening. The new
train is electric lighted throughout.
The equipment is of the most mudern
character and includes through Full
man standard drawing room and pri
vate compartment sleeping cars. Pull
man tourist sleeping cars and free
reclining chair cars, through to Port
land without change, la carte dining
car service of the North Western s
usual high standard, and COMPOSITE
buffet, library and observation cars.
This train service is in addition to
the through service via the China and
Japan Fast Mail, which remains un
changed. This excellent through
service is of particular interest to
patrons en- route to and from the Pa
clic Northwest.
Tuurist travel will also be inter-
ested in the fact that the schedules
are so arranged as to connect with
Yellowstone Special, by means uf
which the side trip to and frum the
Yellowstone National Park can be
made with maximum of comfort
and convenience.
Under the new schedules there are
three daily trains between Chicago
and Denver via the Chicago, Union
Pacific and North W estern Line. The
Colorado Special, electric lighted
throughout, continues To leave the
Wells st. Staten at 10:O0 A. M. and
arrives at Denver the next day at 3 100
?. M. In addition to the Overland
Limited, electric lighted, leaves
Chicago at 100 P. M, with through
service to Denver without chan&e (for
first class sleeping car passeng ers
only. arriving at Denver next even
ing at 9 80, and the Denver and Salt
Lake Express leaves Chicago at lC AS
P. NJ, arrives Denver second morn
ing at 7 80 A M.
This provides q service of the m0st
complete character. with connections
with all through trains from points
east of Chicago. The 500 P. M.
departure assure particularly sttrac-
tive connection with afternoon arrivals
from the east.
Similar service east bound leaves
Denver 20 A. M, (for first class
sleeping car passengers only), arriving
Chicago l so z. M, making direct
connection with all afternoon trains
for the east. including the eighteen
hour trains to New York.
A new train to Omaha, Sioux City
and Des Moiuys leaves Chicago at
P. M, electric lighted throughout,
with tuffet, smoking car, Pullman
drawing room sleeping cars, dining
car service and day coaches.
These improvements in train service
are believed to constitute une of the
must radical and important changes
that have bsen made for some time
for the accommodation of patrons to and
from points west and northwest, and
it is believed that the travelling public
will respond liberaIly, especially in
view of the heavy travel that The
Nurth- w estern Line anticipates in
connection with the Alaska ukon-
Pacific Exposition at Seattle and the
various national conventions that are
to be held this year at Denver, Salt
Lake City and On the Pacific Coast,
including the National Educational
Association and the Presbyterian
General Assembly, at Denver, q. A.
R. Encampment at Salt Lake City,
the Northern Baptist Convention at
Portland, the Epworth League Con-
vention at Seattle, the Elks at Los
Angeles. and many others.
