on ey.dsaces already seen OF the in
tentions Of. hundreds OF thousands of
Americans to visit the Pacific slope

expcsit.ons OF that year and the
myriad scenic wonders of the west
en1 states.
"a trip to the coast in 1916" con-
tinued Col. Collier, will embrace
more than would ordinarily come to
the traveller in half dozen great
sightseeing journeys. The Pacific
coast constitutes one side OF a great
triangle, Every point east of the
Rockies is the beginning point OF a
swing around this triangle, the total
distaIce travelled depending upon the
time and money at the disposal OF
the traveller. Thousands are now
studying routes with the purpose Of
deciding Just what they shall and.
shall not visit on their trips to the
western coast.
THE western states are the
scenic wonder Ct the United States.
From the northwest corner to the
southwest extremity OF this nation, in
almost every nook and Granny, are
grand things callt1g to the tourist,
Through these a wide choice of
routes, is offered.

Indian wars, where Custer fell, and.
where the remnants or the redmens

coast.
There is choice of rail or water
route along this second leg of the
Swing around the triangle. From
Puget Sound large steel steamers OF

the waters around the bases of the
snow-crowned olympic mountains,
