H. Matthews Of the North Dakota
Grand Army Of TIP Republic, cover
ing the trip that will be made by
North Dakota veterans to Rochester,
which will be made with the Mime
sofa delegates In accordance with AN

Dakota. Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, Larimore.
General Order No. 2.
I. General order No. 9 national
headquarters is enclosed giving in
formation as to the forty-fifth nation
al encampment. g.
IL. Having been invited by the
Minnesota department to join their
delegation at Minneapolis or st. Paul
and having had considerable corre-
spondence with the officials of the
different railroads regarding rates
and route, as we'll as personal inter-
views with some of their representa-
tives, I concluded to accept the in
vitation of the Minnesota department.
/ could not get any better rates
than that obtained by the Minnesota
delegation and could not get a spe-
cial car unless would have at least
twenty to twenty-five passengers and
then only from the twin cities.
The fare for the round trip between
st. Paul or Minneapolis to Rochester,
N. Y, and return is 1885.
The Minnesota delegation was the
first to secure the reduced rates over
the route selected.
III. Arrangements for the official
train Of the Minnesota department has
been made with the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul railway to Chicago
and the Nickel Plate from there to
Rochester, N. Y.
The headquarters train will leave
Minneapolis at $3.50 p M, Saturday,
August 10, from the Milwaukee de-
pot, corner Of Third avenue south
and Washington avenue, and the union
depot, st. Paul at 1915 p. M, reach
ing Chicago at 10:45 a. M, August
20, and Rochester,, N. Y, at 1880 a. NJ,
Monday, August a. ~
Nv. The rate,a $685. does not in
clude sleeping car accommodations
The train will consist of one baggage
car, one day coach, two or more tour
ist and one or more standard Sleep
ers. The tourist sleepers will be
equipped with range and refrigera-
tor facilities and the equipment, we
are assured, will be first class in ev-
cry way.
The tourist sleepers will run
through to Rochester and the rates
for both standard and tourist sleep
ers will be: Standard, lower, IS;
standard, upper, 81; tourist, lower,
$3.50; tourist, upper, 81, and these can
be secured by addressing Comrade
s. H. Fowler, 1913 Nicollet avenue,
of the train, he having consented to
do this at the earnest request of the
department commander.
Reservations can also be made at
the Milwaukee ticket Offices in Min
neapolis or St. Paul.
Tickets are good for return passage
providing the starting point is reach
ed by August 81 They will be ex-
tended to September 80 by deposit
ing with joint agent at Rochester, the
payment of 81.
Stopovers will be granted at all
points in Ohio and Indiana on the
Nickel Plate railroad and side trips
from Rochester, including free trip
to Niagara Falls can be made.
The best rates could get from
North Dakota points were as follows
for round trip ticket: Minot, $62.1O;
Devils Lake, $3.50; Larimore, $3.50;
Grand Forks, $3.50; Grafton. $3.50;
Hillsboro. 5000; Fargo, $51.31.
find to buy round trip ticket
from the above named points would
cost the Comrades and ladies of the
w. R. G. considerable more than to
buy their ticket to Minneapolis or
St. Paul, paying regular local fare
for same, so would advise all who
intend to visit the national encamp-
ment to purchase their tickets to the
twin cities only and to buy the round
trip ticket there as several dollars
can be saved by so doing on each
ticket.
The department headquarters for
the G. A. r. and w. r. G. will be at
the hotel Seymour, rooms 13 and II.
/ Comrades, would ask all who can
possibly do so, to join us on the trip
to Rochester. 1t will only be short
time until the G. A. r. will be name
in the past so come and meet the old
boys who marched with us some flf-
ty years ago to save the union, and
live over again in Rochester, the ex-
periences undergone during the strug-
Igle.
