ALIFOR lA is the most d -lightful of lands. One leaves

it with sincere regrets, always intending to soon return.

But the E ast, too, has many charms, even wh n zero weather prevails.

For the pleasure-loving th re are in wint r long sleigh rides and merry skating pa rti s, ending with the evening dance, cosy fireside chats, or a box at the theatr .

For the business man there is the thrill of crowds and th alluring atmosphere of great wealth. The busy, eager ~fe of a metropo~s like C hicago or N w York sti rs the blood and clears the brain. Magnificent art collec­tion ,libraries and churches appeal to the r flectivevisitor.

The East has much of interest for the W esterner. W hen you do go East, the long journey necessary

should lead you to select the most comfortable way. O f th several tran continental routes, there is one

which is best of all. That road is the Santa F e.

It begins at Los Angeles, San Diego and San Frao­cisco and ends at Chicago-under one management all the way.

It is the shortest from Southern California. Crossi~g A~ona and ~ew MexiC? a mile above

the sea, 1t av01ds excessive snows m winter and excessive heat in summer. Scenery the finest in the world, including the Grand Canyon of Arizona.

In California and Arizona the track is oil-sprinkled and the engines bum oil.

The Start Eastward It is early in the evening of a winter's day, yet the red

walls of La Grande station, Los Angeles, are beauti6ed by blooming roses,and in the miniature park arecallaliliea and geraniums, fragrant and lovely. Graceful pabs bend over the driveways. The air is balmy,like summer.

Cabs whirl up to the curb and travelers descend, hurry acroa the sidewalk, and enter the station -stopping to buy tickets and have their baggage checked­then passing to the platform, where a long train is waiting.

At San Fran cisco, in the room­ing, other travelers are likewile leaving for the East.

Ahead may be heard the im­patient engine, anxious to begin its relay contest with prairie winds and mountain grades. This

luxurious train is certai~ly inviting-so warm, so full of light and color! It 1s to be a home on wheels for many travelers during the next three days en rout from the land where every month is june.

Congenial persons- educat d, refin ed and well dressed - are the kind one m Is h re, because this is the only train bet wee~ Southern California and hicago, via any ~ne, excluSively for fi rst-class travel. The journey is sure to be pleasant socially.

The train? The California Limited, not d among transcontin ntal travelers as absolutely the finest, r c ntly built for this s rvice ; everything up-to-dat .

The route? Santa Fe, of cours . Experienced travelers take no other.

Concerning the Train The train is ~mited to

seven cars, all wide vesti­buled, comfortably heated and electric light d.

There are: Oboorv tion Pullman. lAo Angelea

The Drawing-room Pullmans contain tea SCdiaaa and t.wo drawin~-rooms each; the Observation Car contams ten secbons forward and observation parlor in rear ; the Compartment Car contains seven ~tate­rooms and two drawing-rooms.

No extra fare is charged on The California Lmi1ecf beyond the cost of regular first-class one-way or rouad­trip tickets, except that if one person occupies a draw­in -room alone, two first-class tickets will be uired; also, one and a half tickets for a state-room · · occupied.

Pullman berths must be paid for when reservatioaa are made. The management has adopted this rule for the mutual benefit of all California Limited patrons, Oil

account of the heavy travel.

The Dining Car When the first call for breakfast comes the l...iDted

has left the California boundary and is hurrying eat­ward through Arizona, a mile above the sea.

The thirty dining-car seats are quickly occupied.

The chef and his two cooks are soon busy prepar­ing juicy steaks, rare omelets,

fragrant coffee, hot muffins, and other items on the varied menu.

From the kitchen mysteriously emerge dusky wait­ers, bearing appetizing delicacies from many lands.

The tabJ, s are very inviting, with their snowy linen, slistening silver, and cut-glass. Ferns and flowers adom side alcoves. Electric ~ghts gleam from the top and sides. A device in ceiling of kitchen removes any odor of cooking.

AU the m als to follow are equally enjoyable. On The Cahlomia Limited one may leisurely enjoy

repasts duplicated only in the very best metropolitan dubs and hotels. Dining car is carried through. Breakfast and luncheon are served a Ia carte; dinner, table d'h&e.

' You always diae wdl oa the Suta Fe 1

The Santa Fe meal service, under managemeat of Fred. Harvey is the best in the world. This fact is attested by a generation of travelers, whose unsolicited testimonials would fill many books.

Some comments by pleased passengers: "Meals well cooked and well served." "Superb dining cars." "Q!ality of meals unsurpassed." "A perfect dinner." "Fmest cuisine in the West." "Fred. Harvey has set a standard of excellence."

T 0 dine well is half the joy of a trip to the East. You alwa s dine well on the Santa Fe.

The Observation Car Ha ten sections of two double berths each. Pas­

sengers may easily sit up in the lower b rth. Night reading and di robing are made easy by two electric side lights conveniently placed in each section. Similar berth illumination is provided in the other leeping cars.
