What They Say.

It is not often in these busy times that we can take the opportunity to comment favorably upon things in general which come to our attention and appeal to us in a satisfactory way. We give thanks, too, often perfunctorily, not meaning what we say. This, however, was not at all the spirit in which the following letter was recently written to a ticket agent of the Rock Island System: “Los Angelos, Calif., Jan. —, 1905. Dear Mr. : We arrived here Saturday safely and enjoyed our trip very much on the Golden State Limited. All of our party voted this train the finest that they have ever traveled upon. The accommodations were first-class In every respect—the Sleepers, the Observation Car, tho Diner, the Buffet-library smoker, with bath and barber, could not have been improved upon. The entire train crew were gentlemanly and very obliging—doing all they could to make everybody enjoy themselves and feel at home. I shall try to get my friends and relatives to take this train when coming to California.” Mr. John Sebastian, passenger traffic manager, singles this out as one of the many commendatory letters that have been received in his office. The Golden State Limited is maintaining; first place among transcontinental limited trains.
