SEVEN PRINCIPAL ROUTES.

It is a well-known fact that the C., M. & St. P. Ry. system offers a great many different routes between Chicago and St. Paul and Minneapolis. Its main line between those points is especially well known as the route over which runs the famous “Pioneer Limited” and the Government Fast Mail Train.. There are six or seven other routes over a number of which are run through coaches and sleeping cars, which are almost as direct as the principal main line. These various routes traverse the most interesting and attractive sections of Illinois, Wisconsin, lowa and Minnesota, including the celebrated “Lake Region” of Wisconsin, and cross the Wisconsin river at the famous “Dells,” where is the most picturesque scenery in the Northwest. The main line and several others include from 150 to 300 miles of romantic and picturesque scenery along the Mississippi river. On these various lines are located the most important towns and cities in the Northwest. Both one way and special excursion tickets between Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis are honored via any one of these direct lines. The teachers attending the National Educational Convention at Minneapolis will appreciate and take advantage of this fact as they can have a choice of routes going and returning.
