SANTA FE SPECIAL FAST TRAIN SERVICE TRAIN CHICAGO KANSAS
 CITY TO COAST Shortens Time Five and Half Hours Westbound and Seven and Three
 Quarters Eastbound

Sixteen years ago the Santa Fe put on the first limited train ever run to Southern California. This service started semi-weeklv, in winter only. and is now run daily the year round.
 Having set the pace for limited trains among western lines, the Santa Fe announces that beginning December first. it will put on the first extra-fare train ever run to California.
 The new train will be called the Santa Fe de Luxe" It will be oper- ated once a week during the winter, be- tween Chicago and Los Angeles, via Kansas City and Albuquerque.
 The schedule will be sixty-three hours between Chicago and Los An geles. and fifty-one hours between Kansas City and Los Angeles. West bound, it will leave Chicago at D. m, Kansas City at a. m, and arrive in Los Angeles at a. m. the third morning Eastbound, it will leave Los Angeles at D. m, arrive at Kansas City at II D. m, the second evening. and Chicago at II a. m, the third morning.
 This exclusive de luxe service marks Ia notable advance in trans continental travel. and the Santa Fe is to be con graduated on the innovation. More and more California is becoming the play ground of America. Repeated demands of those who have winter homes in California makes this extra fare service necessity, as the California limited train of the Santa Fe can no longer accommodate all corners. Fortunately the Santa Fe is in a position to meet the demand. having today practically double track line half way tC Cali fornia-the gap is being shortened every month Powerful locomotives and a perfect roadbed assures the ad- ditional speed with safety.
 The Santa Fe de Luxe will be equip ped with compartment, drawing-rOom and observation sleeping cars, club car and dining car all newly built from special designs and with carte blanche as to expense. The cars are all steel underframe with wood interior. insur- ing maximum of safety, comfort and artistic effect The train will carry a barber. a ladies' maid, stenographer and other accessories of high-class ser vice. in addition to the regular train employees. Bathing facilities will be provided, market reports and daily bulletins of important world happen ings also will be telegraphed the train en route A library of western fiction, magazines. periodicals. etc. will be fur nished. Telephone connections at ter minals, afternoon tea and numerous other comforts will be devised. The dining and club cars. as usual, will be under the management of Fred Harvey. While this train de luxe is intended primarily for through travel between Chicago. Kansas City and California, there will be excellent connection at Williams for Grand Canyon of Ari- zona.
 The celebrated California Limited train of the Santa Fe will be continued on present schedule with new equip ment the coming season. The comforts | and advantages of this train are so well known to overland travellers as not to require special mention here. Pas sengers on the California Limited will not be required to pay extra fare. The Santa Fe now has four daily trains to California. The new conner will build up its own clientele. as there | is steady increase in Pacific coast travel Wise travellers more and more are looking to the far west. rather than Europe, for their outing trips.
