Santa Fe Farmers Special.

The success of the 1915 Santa
Fe Farmers specials was so
pronunced that it was thought
advisable to repeat it again this
year. This part of the country
gained valuable advertising as a
result of the two excursions last
year.
A special train will leave Chi
cago under personal escort for a
tour Of western rural districts
and cities, visiting the Grand
Canyon and Salt River Valley,
Arizona, Southern California,
San Diego Exposition and San
Joaquin Valley. The visitors
will be entertained by the rural
population and Chambers of
Commerce along the line. They
will be taken in autos to see our
farms, orchards and homes.
This trip affords an opportunity
for tourists to see country life in
the west, which is something
most of them miss.
The tram will leave Chicago
on the following schedule, reach
ing San Francisco November 25.
Tickets will allow the tourists to
remain in California all winter,
if desired, having a nine month S
return limit.
1t is now planned to leave Chi
cago at 1920 p. M, Thursday,
November 9, spending Sunday,
November IL, at the Grand Can
yon, and Monday, November 13,
at Phoenix, Arizona.
