To the Pacific Coast—to California, Oregon, Washington —
round-trip, long transit and return limits, liberal stop-over
privileges.
The rate is practically on the basis of one fare for the round
trip. Of course, if you wish to visit both California and Oregon
or Washington, the cost is slightly more.
These reduced rates are in effect on certain dates in months
of May to October, inclusive. They apply from all Eastern points
via Chicago, St Louis or Memphis gateways. The Rock Island
System will take you up in either Chicago or St. Louis, or at hundred. *
of other Middle West points and carry you to the Coast in through
Standard or Tourist Sleepers with unexcelled Dining Car service.
The Rock Island also affords a choice of routes: on the “Scenic”
route you can stop off in Colorado—see Salt Lake City—visit
Yellowstone National Park; on the “Southern” route you can go
via El Paso, thru New Mexico, then “up coast” to San Francisco
and on to Portland or Seattle if desired.
In short, these Pacific Coast excursions offer an unusually good
chance to see our western country in a comprehensive manner.
If you desire to go only as far as Colorado, there are excursion
rates in effect to that section and return, all summer long,
specially reduced June 30 to July 4, August 12 and 13,
and August 30 to September 4. Extension trips to Ogden
or Salt Lake and return at low cost also.
From September 15 to October 31, 1905, one-way
tourist or “ colonist ” tickets will be on sale to California and
the Pacific Northwest-about half regular fare.
If interested, send name and address on this coupon, designating
