E... A SPECIAL... XCURSIO|\| THROUGH TO PORTLAND 11 OUT OF ST. PAUL, Wednesday, Aug. 23, 1905. This Excursion will be in charge of a representative of the Great Northern Railroad, who will look after all of the arrangements and details, thus relieving the individual members of any personal responsibility, leaving them entirely free to the fullest enjoyment of the trip. This journey is never to be forgotten— to be a panorama of delight all the way, every mile—Education. OUR ITINERARY—We leave Rensselaer on the 22d of August, leave Chicago on the evening of August 22d, and arrive at St. Paul on the morning of the 23d; spend the day in St. Paul; leave St. Paul at 10 p. m. on the 23d. Thursday morning we will be at Maysville, North Dakota, in the heart of the Famous Red River Valley of the North, known as the “Bread Basket of the World.” The citizens of Maysville, North Dakota, are making special provisions for entertaining the members of the party for about six hours, and we will witness a harvesting scene on one of the “Bonanza” farms, containing thousands of acres. The remainder of the day will be spent in passing through waving wheat fields, as far as the eye can see. Friday will be spent in passing through the fertile valleys, irrigated fields and rolling stock ranges of Montana, and the Rocky Mountains with their awe-inspiring grandeur, Saturday Morning we will arrive at Spokane, Wash., “the capital of the Inland Empire.” A few hours will be spent in sight-seeing around this beautiful city, the marvel of the northwest, a trip to the falls second only to Niagara. We will then continue on down the Big-Bend Country, where a short stop will be made to give the people an idea of this wonderful region. About 5 o’clock p. m. we will arrive at Wenatchee, Wash., “The Home of the Big Red Apple.” Wenatchee is located in the geographical center of the State of Washington at the confluence of the Wenatchee and Columbia rivers. It is here we expect to see one of the most interesting sights of our trip. This wonderful little valley nestled iu the foothills of the Cascades, is world-famous for its fine fruit. We will arrive there just at the time the trees are breaking with the luscious fruits. This entire valley is irrigated, and we will have an opportunity to personally inspect and view practical irrigation and its results. Several hours will be spent at Wenatchee to enable the visitor to see some of the finest orchards in the Pacific Northwest. From Wenatchee we will continue our trip across the Cascade Mountains, “silent sentinels of the mighty PacificZL_aniving at the tide-water Puget Sound the next morning, where a short stop will be made at Everett, “the city of smoke-stacks.” We will then continue our trip on to Seattle, the metropolis of the Puget Sound country, where we will spend some little time. Then will continue on to Portland, the Exposition CityT” Returning via some other route, and on the return trip you will have the privilege of stop-overs at various points and thereby see many interesting things which we cannot explain to you here. V e will make a special request for you to come to our office, in the city of Rensselaer, Ind., and there get full information about this wonderful trip to be taken, an opportunity of one’s life. The fare for the round trip from Chicago, 111., to Portland and return, will be only $56 50. There will be sleeper accommodation and a dinner in the train. Every comfort will be provided and at moderate cost. Remember this train will leave Chicago, next Tuesday at 6 o’clock p. m.
