THE PUREST OF
MOUNTAIN WATER
ON PACIFIC DINERS

The Blue Canyon water, upon
which the train crews of the South
ern Pacific company overland route
have thrived and grown fat, has
been placed in the dining cars over
the entire Southern Pacific system.
1t has been common gossip among
the Southern Pacific trainmen for
years that the Sacramento division
men owe their portly appearance to
the drinking of the water from Blue
Canyon.
For all trains on the Sacramento
division running eastward and west
ward, the supply of water will be
taken on the diners as the trains
stop at that station. On the other
divisions of the system the water
will be transported in special con-
tainers. In this way the diners on
all of the Southern Pacific dining
cars are to enjoy the best drinking
water to be found in the west. The
Southern Pacific company has had
chemists at work for years endeaYor-
ing to find the purest water.
In hundreds of places along the
line has water been found that could
not be excelled for drinking pur-
poses water free to a large extent
from alkalis, but it has been dlflcul'
to find water that was entirely OF

water contains only At hundreths o
