| Fred Harvey hotel system. which is
appreciated by the traveller. These
hotels are located along the way so
the traveller can get three meals o
day. All passenger trains, excepting
the limited trains step, giving the
traveller ample time to enjoy meal
for only seventy-tive cents, that you
could not duplicate in any city for
less than two dollars. The scenery
along the way after you cross the
San Bernardino Rnge OF mountains is
very interesting. The soil Is mostly
barren and of rugged nature, con-
tinuing that way until after you have
passed out Of California
Would suggest you take an early
morning train out OF Los Angeles and
pass over that part OF the trip Just
mentioned, during the night SO as to
see the mountains in western Ariz-
ona, west of Williams, by daylight.
You change at Williams for Grand
Canyon, which is Al miles north OF
Williams. Do not fail to see that
wonderful sight. 1t appears to me
that nature was certainly cruel to ola
mother earth by leaving such a scar
upon her side. Take an evening tram
out Of Williams for the east. By so
doing you will arrive In Albuquerque
for breakfast, Las Vegas for LUNCH
and Trinidad or Lajunta for dinner.
The entire day will have been con-
stunned while travelling through q
beautiful mountainous and prairie
country including the famous Ratoon
pass. II you left your automobile in
Denver, while on your way west, La
5unta is the place where you will
change to go to Denver. Those Of
you who continue east Of Lajunta,
should remain on the same train. BY
doing so you will pass through the
prairie of eastern Colorado and wes-
tern Kansas by night, which will give
you an opportunity to pass through
eastern Kansas by. day--one Of the
best farming districts in the United
States.
You will be SO well pleased with
the service on the Santa Fe that you
Will want to continue your journey
through prosperous Missouri and Ill
inots. Another route out OF Los An
geles for the east:
Many Of you win probably have a
desire to see the Yellowstone Ma
honal park. Time and mileage will
not be considered on the return trip
that l am now going to give you.
The dining car service sis excellent on
the different roads during the. entire
trip. I have routed many the, follow
ing way and have received numer-
Gus letters thanking me for SO do
ing.
Take the Southern Pacific out Of
Los Angeles; cross the Tehachapl
mountains via Bakersfield pass and
through the valley OF central Califor-
MIA. 4 was agreeab1y surprised to
find in this valley two Harrison scoun-
" boys, one a big banker at Ham
ford and the other, one of the lar
gest business men in Fresno. Though
| after realizing that they were from
West Milford, it was no surprise
when considering their success, for
It fds said that West Milford and
Katylick turn out more prominent
men than any two sections in the
county.
/ We will pass on via Stocton, Sac
ramento and Red Bluff, the latter be-
Ing in great fruit section. We have
been ascending since leaving the val
ley far in the rear. You continue on
to Shasta Springs, which is located
In beautiful mountain section. The
train will stop there ten minutes CIV
ing you ample time to go to the
spring which is near the track. 1t
is here that you can drink with a
ture while you view the falls above.
Shasta Springs is a fine place to
spend the summer which California
native sons and daughters have a
gay time, dancing, fishing. bathing,
hunting and mountain climbing. Mt.
Shasta is in the distant towering
high above the surrounding noun
tains, she is covered with q coat OF
pine UP to the timber line; above
that there is no vegetation. She is
a rough rugged old sight, while high
on above she is capped with perpet-
ual SNOW.
We are approaching Oregon, and
like the trip this far. / am compell-
ed to pass on and complete this trip
without having mentioned but very
little In regard to the golden oppor-
tunities which lie there in readiness
for the ambitious young man. /
could write hundreds of pages de-
scribing the many opportunities that
are to be had in the north and south
west.
i While passing over the Siskiyou
mountains into Oregon you will mo-
tice a remarkable piece OF enginee..
ing while descending the mountain.
Ashland, Ore, is prosperous town
caused by the surrounding land be-
Ing very fertile. You pass on through
Medford, which place is noted for fine
fruits, the orchards often yielding as
much as fifteen hundred dollars an
acre. After passing through Grants
Pass you come to Roseburg, Eugene,
Albany, Salem, Oregon City and Port
land. have told you very little con-
u corning Oregon and her resources
Just look at Portland and you will
be convinced that Oregon possesses
valleys and mountains Of untold
wealth. g3 ~
You take the Northern Pacific out
Of Portland via Tacoma for Seattle
I During the months of August, Sep
TENDER and October is the best time
to visit Seattle. II you do not enjoy
I yourself while there, 1t will be your
own fault. Take an automobile ride
over and around those hills and see
what large city Seattle Is. Don't
, miss seeing tho Totem Pole, which is
