HE SPECIAL TRAIN CARRYING THE TICKET puNcHERs

Membersl of the American Associa-
ton Of General Passenger and Ticket
Agents will assemble for their fifty
seventh annual convention in Seattle
on September IL and 13.
This is the first time that the as
sociation has held its annual meet
ing in the Pacific northwest and the
trip offers fine opportunity to the
passenger men to visit, under most
favorable circumstances, this section
of the country where development
during the last decade has been SO
marvellous. They will see something
of the bumper crops which are being
harvested between the great lakes and
Puget sound. The trip will also be
Of benefit to the country visited as
the men comprising the association, in
the course of their duties, are called
upon to exploit, in proper and truth
full manner, the many opportunities
for settlement, investment and de-
velopment in this territory.
On the two special de luxe trains
which will carry the eastern and mid
die west officials from st. Paul to
Seattle over the Northern Pacific,
there will be total of 125 passenger
men, many of whom will have their
wives and other members of their
family with them. Previous conven-
tions of the organization have been
held in various parts of the United
States, Canada, Mexico and Cuba. The
convention last year was held in st.
