TOU$S ACROSS THE

GENERAL INFORMATION.

OUR excursions, and the methods by which they are carried out, have become so
widely known to the American public that little need be said in explanation of their
manifest advantages. It has been our studied purpose to meet every demand which
experienced and discriminating travelers are likely to make, and at the same time
provide comforts and facilities practically unattainable by individual tourists. All
this may be readily accomplished without subjecting the travelers to the unpleasant
prominence and display attendant upon large and promiscuous excursions. In fact
our little bands of tourists, invariably limited in numbers, are essentially "private
parties," enjoying not only exclusive advantages, but even greater seclusion than indi-
viduals could command. Nearly a score of years' experience in catering to the best
class of the traveling public, in a wide and broadening field, has not only given us a
thorough knowledge of the business and its needs, but also placed at our command
special facilities for properly carrying out its details. Rooming at hotels and on
steamers, the arrangement of carriage drives and other details are matters of previous
adjustment, so that the wishes of those who are desirous of being placed together or
in contiguity are regarded to as great an extent as possible. In long journeys, where
sleeping cars or drawing-room cars are employed, persons are ensured the same
places in a manner that would be simply impossible in ordinary traveling. A little party

of friends thus secures accommodations collectively, or together, without encroach-
ing in any way upon the rights of others, and without any special effort of its own.

Sleeping-Car and Steamship Accommodations.

Only two persons are placed in a section of the sleeping cars, every passenger
being entitled to an entire double berth, half a section, and only two persons in each
stateroom on the Alaska steamer.

Personal Escort and Attention.

Our parties are always under the charge of competent conductors, who devote
their attention to the welfare and comfort of the passengers, and who superintend all
business arrangements. Hotel accommodations are arranged in advance, and in
other particulars the members of the party are relieved of many petty cares and an-
noyances inseparable from ordinary travel. Thus the tourist is left to the fullest
enjoyment of the journey, while appointed agents attend to the task of arranging
its details.

Suggestions with Regard to Joining a Party.

Persons desiring to join one of our parties should send their names to be
registered as early as convenient. A name is registered as soon as an intention to
go is expressed, and this registration secures a place in the cars, at hotels where so-
journs may be made, and in every way insures membership in the party. Tickets
can be taken and paid for at the convenience of the passenger any time to within
about one week of the date of departure ; and should the passenger even then be
prevented from going, the money will be refunded. The advantage of sending in
names early is readily seen.

Persons are not compelled to come to the starting point in order to join a party,

but may connect with the train at any convenient place along the route. In all
cases places are reserved on the cars for passengers who are to join en route.

Hints About Clothing.

Although the tours described in this book are to be made in the pleasantest part
of the year and at a time when a mild temperature is likely to prevail, provision
should be made to guard against sudden changes. Warm clothing, with light over-
coats, shawls, or convenient wraps, which may be brought into service or discarded,
as required, is an essential part of the outfit. The railway rides through some sec-
tions— chiefly across the deserts — may be dusty, and dust is likely to be encountered
in journeying about California. This fact should govern, to some extent, the selec-
tion of materials for traveling suits. Warm underclothing should always be worn.
However warm the days may be on the Pacific Coast, the evenings and nights are
cool. In the Yosemite trip, strong and serviceable clothing and a pair of stout
walking shoes or boots will be best ; and these will be useful, of course, in other
parts of the excursions, especially in the Yellowstone National Park. Visitors to the
Yosemite should be content to leave finery behind, and baggage also must be dis-
carded to as great an extent as possible. The same remarks will apply to the Yel-
lowstone National Park, where the traveler should be prepared with clothing which
dust cannot injure, good walking shoes, and wraps for evening wear. There are few
nights within the park, even in midsummer, without frosts.

For the Alaska voyage one should dress as warmly as for an Atlantic ocean
voyage, but no warmer, since that should mean woolens and wraps. Most of the
sight-seeing is from the steamer's deck, but it is better to be prepared for little land
expeditions in all weathers. Closely fitting outer garments are of course more con-

venient on the breezy deck than loose cloaks or shawls. Walking over the glaciers
is difficult and, in places, dangerous. At the Muir Glacier a landing may be desirable,
but little traveling is likely to be done except on the lateral moraines, and no special
preparation is needed beyond what has already been suggested. Alpenstocks and
canes can be obtained of the baggage porter on the steamer. Steamer chairs, if
desired, can be obtained generally of the deck stewards on the steamer, and also at
Tacoma.

Baggage Regulations.

Each passenger is entitled to the free transportation of 1 50 pounds of checked bag-
gage for a whole ticket, or 75 pounds for a half ticket. (This does not apply to the
stage journey through the Yellowstone National Park, nor to the side trip into the
Yosemite Valley, where trunks are not taken by the stages.) Hand baggage in every
case must be looked after by the owner, and it is advisable to take no more or
heavier luggage of this description than can be conveniently carried into and out of
cars, omnibuses, or hotels. A more liberal allowance of hand luggage may be nec-
essary in the stage journeys mentioned above.

"Stop-Over" Privileges.

Our tickets allow the holders the privilege of stopping over in California, Oregon,
or Washington, or at any point on the return trip between the Pacific Coast and Mis-
souri River points, or St. Paul, until December 31, 1898.

Persons remaining in California later than June I, 1898, should apply, before
leaving for the East, to our agent, W. H. Snedaker, 14 Montgomery street, San.
Francisco, for information and assistance in connection with the signing of the return
ticket, securing sleeping-car berths, etc.

Persons returning independently by the Northern Pacific route can apply for
information or assistance to our Pacific Northwest agent, A. D. Charlton, No. 255
Morrison street, corner of Third street, Portland, ( >re.

On.the returning excursions sleeping-car coupons must be used for a continuous
trip from the starting point to the destination named theron. If "stop-offs" are
made between the initial and terminal stations named on the coupon, the coupon will
not be available on the resumption of the journey. Persons who return independ-
ently and wish to stop off at intermediate stations, should pay the usual Pullman
fares from point to point and retain their coupons, which will be redeemed at the full
through Pullman fare for the distance covered by the coupons.

Passengers who return independently by the Denver & Rio Grande line pass
through Glenwood Springs, where stop-over privileges are allowed. This fact will be
appreciated by those who may wish to spend the summer months at this charming
resort. Between Denver and Chicago, passengers returning independently may travel
via either Council Bluffs or Kansas City, over the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Railway.

Passengers returning independently will find full directions regarding the engage-
ment of sleeping-car accommodations, exchange of sleeping-car coupons, etc., on the
coupons in their ticket books.

vessel in the fleet owned by the Pacific Coast Steamship Company. The steamer
trip will occupy about ten days. All the famous scenic points in Southern Alaska
which have made the Alaska tour so famous will be visited, including Fort Wrangel,
Juneau, Davidson Glacier, Sitka, and the great Muir Glacier on Glacier Bay. The
entire route from Puget Sound to the farthest northern point reached is lined with
scenes of awe-inspiring character — mountains of great height, with almost fathomless
depths at their very feet; cascades, which seem to tumble from the sky itself; densely
wooded shores, whose solitudes have never yet been invaded by man ; and vast fields
of snow and ice, which glow in the sunlight like plains of gold and silver. In
Alaska, great glaciers, many fold larger than the grandest ice-fields of Switzerland,
flow down to the sea, mingling with the floods of the ocean, and breaking off in huge
masses of fantastical shapes. In no part of the world is there so much wild grandeur
encompassed in a voyage of equal duration. The earlier parts of the tour, embracing
the grand scenic attractions of Colorado, Utah and Nevada, and the various interests
of California from Coronado Beach to Shasta, will be, in their way, equally attrac-
tive ; and so will the later weeks, crossing the continent homeward by the northern
route and visiting the matchless Yellowstone Park.

The time selected for the trip is seasonable, not only for the visit to the far North,
but also for the journey across the continent and the tour through California. In
June, when the party will reach the Northwest, long days prevail, and there are really
only a few hours of darkness.

The price of tickets for the tour, as described in the following pages, will be six
HUNDRED AND SIXTY DOLLARS. This sum covers first-class travel over all railway

Eastern standard, or 75th meridian — one hour faster.

As this itinerary is made up in advance of the publication of the summer time-tables of the
various railroads, slight changes may be necessary.

A BRIEF OUTLINE OF THE TOUR.

From the East to Chicago.

THE party will leave Boston from the Kneeland street station of the Boston &
Albany Railroad at 10.30 A. M. Tuesday, April 19, in vestibuled palace sleeping cars.
The route is via Worcester, Springfield, Albany, Utica, Syracuse, Rochester and
Buffalo, to Chicago, over the superb Boston & Albany, New York Central and
Michigan Central lines. Persons who desire can join the party conveniently at the
cities named or at other points. The train will reach the Central station, Chicago,
at 3.00 P. M. the following day, and the travelers will be transferred to The Audito-
rium Hotel.

The New York tourists are to depart from the Grand Central station, Forty-second
street, via the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad, at i.oo P. M. Tuesday,
April 19, and the route from Albany will be the same as that of the Boston
passengers.

Passengers from Philadelphia will leave that city from the Reading Terminal
station, corner Twelfth and Market streets, Tuesday, April 19, at 9.00 A. M. via the
Philadelphia & Reading and the Lehigh Valley routes.

From Chicago to Denver.

Leaving Chicago Thursday afternoon, via the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Railway, the party will continue with a daylight ride through a large part of the great
State of Illinois. The Mississippi River is crossed on a splendid bridge between
Rock Island, 111., and Davenport, la. Parts of Illinois and Iowa are crossed at night,
and Friday morning finds the traveler approaching the Missouri River, with the stir-

ring city of Kansas City looming up on the other side. This place lies upon the
boundary line of two States — Missouri and Kansas — with its chief population,
public buildings, etc., in the former.

At Kansas City we enter upon the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway, whose
lines we shall follow until our arrival in Denver. We traverse the great State of
Kansas from one end to the other, journeying no less than 486 miles within its
borders. Western Kansas and Eastern Colorado are given up largely to cattle-grazing.

The Colorado State line is reached Saturday morning, and the railway traverses
an interesting section of the Centennial State, with the Rocky Mountains in plain
sight most of the way, the shapely Spanish Peaks, the Culebra Range, the high sum-
mits of the Greenhorn, and Pike's Peak, forming the chief landmarks.

Denver.

Arriving in Denver Saturday forenoon, the elegant Brown Palace Hotel will be
the headquarters until evening. A carriage drive in the afternoon will bring into
view the most attractive sections of this beautiful Western city. In 1860 Denver
was a straggling camp, consisting principally of log cabins and tents. The last cen-
sus places it the twenty-sixth in the list of American cities.

Colorado Springs.

Leaving Denver in the evening, Saturday, we return to Colorado Springs, arriving
there early Sunday morning. Our headquarters in this beautiful city will be The
Antlers. Monday morning there will be a carriage drive to the Garden of the Gods,
near Manitou, and return. The Garden of the Gods is a park -like tract, inclosed by
cliffs and hills, and scattered about its surface are fantastically formed rocks carved
by the elements in past ages.

The Royal Gorge.

Leaving Colorado Springs about noon, the next stage of our journey will bring
the magnificent scenery of the canon of the Arkansas into view. The most impres-
sive scenery is found in the portion of the canon known as the Royal Gorge, seme
ten miles in length. Mountains of rock running up almost perpendicularly nearly
half a mile in height, and terminating in dizzy pinnacles, seem ready to fall upon the
adventurous traveler. The train winds along the course of the narrowing stream,
and its onward progress seems barred in a hundred places by huge cliffs. The
Arkansas, crowded to narrower limits, brawlingly disputes the right of way with
the iron steed ; and at one place the latter finds a foothold on a hanging bridge.
Over the Rocky Mountains.

Later we cross the Rocky Mountains at Tennessee Pass, and descend the western
slope of the range through the Eagle River Canon, the walls of which are dotted
with mining camps and mining paraphernalia, while the scenery is very grand. The
last eighteen miles of the distance before reaching Glenwood Springs is through the
magnificent scenery of the canon of the Grand River. Here the mountain walls
shoot up in towering columns and gigantic turrets, to a height of 2,000 feet.
From Grand Junction, Colo., our route is over the Rio Grande Western Railway.
The Green River is crossed some sixty miles north of its junction with the Grand
River, and 200 miles west of Glenwood Springs. Passing through Castle Canon,
the road ascends the east slope of the Wahsatch Range by the side of the South
Fork of the Price River, and descends the western side from Soldier Summit, follow-
ing the course of Clear Creek and Spanish Fork to Provo. Salt Lake City is forty-
five miles beyond Provo, and our train will be due there the evening of Tuesday,
when there will be a transfer to the elegant Hotel Knutsford.

Salt Lake City.

Salt Lake City is beautifully situated. It covers a wide expanse, and has a mixed
population of Mormons and Gentiles. Among the edifices demanding attention are
the Tabernacle a»d the Temple. The former is a vast building, oval in form, 233 by
133 feet, with a roof seventy feet from the floor. There are seats for 8,000 persons,
and above the platform is a large organ. The Temple, near by, which was begun
April 6, 1853, and dedicated just forty years later, cost $4,000,000.

Visitors are admitted to the Tabernacle, but not to the Temple. Among the
other Mormon edifices are the " Lion," " Bee Hive," and "Gardo" houses, built as
residences by Brigham Young, the tithing offices, and the gigantic warehouse of
" Zion's Co-operative Mercantile Institution," known in short as the "Co-op. Store."
There will be a carriage drive through the most interesting sections of the city.

From Salt Lake City Westward.

Leaving Salt Lake City Wednesday afternoon, we proceed thirty-six miles north by
the Rio Grande Western Railway to Ogden, where we enter upon the Southern
Pacific Company's line for the farther journey to the Pacific Coast. The scenery along
the shores of Great Salt Lake is very interesting. This remarkable inland sea covers
about 3,000 square miles. Promontory Point, where the last spike uniting the iron
bands which had stretched out from the Atlantic and from the Pacific was driven
May 10, 1869, is fifty-two miles from Ogden. Near Tecoma the Nevada State line
is crossed. The scenery is generally characterized by bold and rugged mountains,
capped with snow, and wide stretches of desert plain. Many fruitful sections, how-
ever, are passed through. Indians, generally Shoshones, or Piutes, are frequently
seen about the stations.

Across the Sierra Nevada.

We enter the State of California about fifteen miles west of Reno, and cross the
magnificent range of the Sierra Nevada. In the passage over the mountains the
traveler is treated to an extensive acquaintance with that necessary — though to the
sight-seer rather aggravating — device, the snow shed. These wonderful wooden
tunnels cover over thirty-three miles of the Central Pacific Railway. At Emigrant
Gap, Giant Gap, Blue Canon, and Shady Run, the scenery is magnificent. Another
very picturesque view is from Cape Horn, where the road rounds a mountain prom-
ontory on a little shelf 2,000 feet above the bed of the American River.

There are many traces of the old placer mining, and of the more recent hydraulic
process, which washes away even the hills themselves.

We shall be due in Sacramento Thursday night, and continue our journey thence
to Southern California by way of Lathrop.

The Tehachapi Loop.

One of the most remarkable triumphs of railway engineering ever achieved in any
part of the world is found just north of Tehachapi Summit. A group of mountain
peaks and crags belonging to the terminating southwestern spur of the Sierra Nevada
here disputed the advance of the iron steed; but by a series of complex and bewil-
dering curves, and finally, by actually crossing its own line at the famous " Loop," a
pathway was made. We shall pass the Loop Friday morning. Beyond the Teha-
chapi Mountains we cross the western section of the Mojave Desert. At Saugus we
leave the main line of the Southern Pacific Company, and proceed to Santa Barbara
over a branch road. Fifteen miles from Saugus is the Camulos Ranch, the home of
Helen Hunt Jackson's heroine, Ramona. Arriving in Santa Barbara, our head-
quarters will be at The Arlington until Monday morning.

Santa Barbara.

Santa Barbara is situated under the shelter of the Santa Ynez Mountains, and in
front is a magnificent ocean beach. The best preserved of the old mission churches
(established Dec. 4, 1786) stands upon the mountain slope just above the town.
With the advent of the iron horse the picturesque old city has taken a new lease of
life; and its enterprising citizens, by well-directed public improvements, have added
greatly to its attractiveness. State street, the main thoroughfare, has been converted
into one of the finest driveways in America. On Saturday there will be a drive which
will include the principal attractions of this charming resort.

Santa Monica.

Leaving Santa Barbara Monday morning, we shall proceed by way of Saugus and Los
Angeles to Santa Monica. This charming seaside resort is seventeen miles from Los
Angeles. The Hotel Arcadia, of which F. W. Richardson is manager, faces the
ocean. There are delightful drives leading to numerous canons in the neighborhood,
and a steam yacht makes frequent trips around the bay. The climate is so mild that
surf-bathing is indulged in through the entire year.

Avalon, Santa Catalina Island.

From Santa Monica we go to the Hotel Metropole, at Avalon, Santa Catalina
Island. About an hour's ride from Los Angeles over the Southern Pacific Company's
line brings us to San Pedro, where the steamer of the Wilmington Transportation
Company is taken for the short voyage to the delightful haven of Avalon, the port
of Santa Catalina Island. The sojourn at Hotel Metropole will prove a most
novel and delightful experience. Avalon lies on the southeast side of the island, in
the lee of the ocean mountain range, and with its crescent-shaped beach, its cottages,

shops, hotels, its lines of boats and yachts, with the mountains rising all around, pre-
sents one of the most attractive scenes.

Pasadena.

Leaving Avalon Wednesday afternoon, we shall proceed to Pasadena, where until
Friday forenoon the party will sojourn at Hotel Green or La Pintoresca. Pasadena
is one of the loveliest towns on the Pacific Coast, and is situated in the northwest
corner of the San Gabriel valley at the base of the Sierra Madre Mountains. During
our stay in Pasadena there will be a carriage drive through the most interesting
portions of the city.

Riverside.

Leaving Pasadena Friday morning, May 6, we proceed by way of San Bernardino
to Riverside, where we shall sojourn until the following morning at the Glenwood
Tavern. Riverside is older than most of the valley towns, and is a paradise of orange
orchards, vineyards and gardens. Magnolia avenue is a magnificent double drive-
way, divided by a row of pepper trees, and lined for many miles with handsome villas
and beautiful gardens. Some of the finest orange orchards in California are in or
near Riverside.

San Diego and the Hotel del Coronado.

On leaving Riverside we proceed southward over the picturesque Southern Cali-
fornia line to San Diego. For a considerable distance we are upon the shore of the
ocean, along which are some charming views. Near San Juan is the old mission of
San Juan Capistrano, in ruins, having been destroyed by an earthquake soon after
its erection in 1776. On arrival at San Diego there will be an omnibus transfer to
the famous Hotel del Coronado, Coronado Beach, crossing the bay by ferry.

The city of San Diego, with the finest harbor south of San Francisco Bay, is the
oldest of the California mission towns, but, like Los Angeles and other Southern
California places, its present importance is wholly of recent growth. The develop-
ment of this region followed the building of the Southern California Railway.

San Diego lies on the eastern shore of San Diego Bay. Between the bay and the
Pacific Ocean there is a narrow tongue of land which has been converted into a mag-
nificent seaside resort by a wealthy corporation called the Coronado Beach Company.
The most important embellishment of all is the Hotel del Coronado, an immense
establishment which was thrown open to the public Feb. 15, 1888. It is an "all the
year round " resort, and is under the management of Mr. A. W. Bailey.

Los Angeles.

Leaving San Diego Monday afternoon, the party will proceed to Los Angeles, and
the headquarters will be at The Westminster or the Hotel Van Nuys. Los Angeles
was founded in 1781, but its chief increase in population, business importance and
wealth has been the result of recent growth. From a little collection of adobe huts
it has become a handsome city. With less than 12,000 inhabitants in 1880, it has
increased in population to nearly 100,000. The public buildings are spacious and
elegant, and the business blocks in many instances imposing. Among the handsome
edifices recently built are the Court House, the Young Men's Christian Association
Building, the Burbank Theatre, the City Hall, a government building, the Southern
Pacific Company's Arcade station, and the Santa Fe system's La Grande station.
There are substantial evidences of wealth and prosperity on every hand.

Parties to visit the Yosemite Valley will be made up during the stay in Los
Angeles and will leave that city on different days. Those who proceed directly
through to San Francisco will go May 17. The dates of departure of the Yosemite

excursionists will be made, as far as possible, to meet individual preferences. For
particulars about the Yosemite trip see pages 81-84.

San Francisco and the Palace Hotel.

Leaving Los Angeles Tuesday about noon, we proceed to San Francisco, and for
the greater part of the way over the same line of travel taken in our southward
journey from Sacramento. San Francisco will be reached the following morning,
and the party will be transferred to the Palace Hotel.

The metropolis of the Pacific Coast is one of the most interesting cities in America,
and is becoming more beautiful and attractive year by year. It is naturally cosmo-
politan in character, and the visitor can take a foreign jaunt in miniature by walking
through certain sections of the town. With one of the finest harbors on the globe,
and occupying an important position in connection with the world's commerce, its
shipping interests are of vast proportions. The growth of the city has been very
rapid, the number of inhabitants in 1890 being 298,997. Oakland, situated just across
the bay, is a city of 48,682 inhabitants. The Palace Hotel is a vast establishment,
and in reality one of the wonders of the Pacific Coast. Not only is it one of the
largest hotels in the world, but at the same time one of the richest and most elegant.
In one edifice it covers the block bounded by New Montgomery, Market, Annie, and
Jessie streets, occupying an area of 96,250 feet; and the distance around its outer
wall is exactly one quarter of a mile. In addition, the Grand Hotel, on the opposite
corner of Market and New Montgomery streets, has been absorbed in this colossal
hostelry. The hotel is under the direction of John C. Kirkpatrick, managing
director, and George B. Warren, assistant manager.

The chief cable-car lines are on Market street and on thoroughfares radiating
therefrom, viz. : Sutler, Post, Geary, Powell, McAllister, Hayes, Haight, Valencia,

and Castro streets. There are also lines on Howard, California, Clay, Jackson
Union, Larkin, and other streets.

Golden Gate Park, a beautiful tract of 1,013 acres, reclaimed from the sand dunes,"
is about three and a half miles from the centre of the city, and may be reached by
several of the cable-car lines. The Beach, Cliff House, and Seal Rocks are about
the same distance beyond the entrance to the park, and may also be reached by street-
car lines.

One of the greatest curiosities in San Francisco is the Chinese quarter, a rec-
tangular block seven squares in length by three and four in breadth. It is near the
business centre and only a few blocks away from the palaces of the railway million-
aires. The cellars are occupied as shops, factories, or opium dens. The main
streets are lined by the stores of the large Chinese merchants. In all the stores and
other portions of the Chinese quarter Eastern visitors are received with the greatest

courtesy.

Monterey and the Hotel del Monte.

Several delightful resorts on the coast and inland, from 50 to 125 miles south of
the Golden Gate, are to be visited in a side trip from San Francisco. We first go to
Monterey, 125 miles distant. This is one of the most interesting of the old Spanish
towns on the Pacific Coast. It was California's first capital, but it was not until 1880
that it became a fashionable watering-place.

The site selected for the famous Hotel del Monte was in a stately grove of pine,
oak and cedar, the trees being sufficiently scattered to admit of the adornment of the
grounds by means of driveways, footpaths, lawns, and beds of flowers. A plat of
126 acres was set aside and inclosed as the hotel grounds, while 7,000 acres more were
purchased for other purposes. The general design includes a central edifice, with

two extensive wings or annexes, connected with the central structure by arcades,
^vhich extend in semi-circular form on each side. The verandas are very spacious,
and the profusion of flowers about the house makes it especially attractive. The
hotel is under the personal supervision and management of Georg Schonewald.

Santa Cruz.

Leaving the Hotel del Monte Wednesday morning, the party will proceed to Santa
Cruz, via Pajaro. There will be a carriage drive, visiting the beautiful beach and the
cliffs. In places the cliffs are very abrupt, and the sea has carved them into grottoes,
natural bridges, and curiously-formed towers. Lunch will be provided at the Sea
Beach Hotel, and at 1.45 P. M. the party will proceed to San Jose on the narrow-
gauge division of the Southern Pacific Company's line, halting to see the " Big
Trees," a group of giant redwoods, some six miles from Santa Cruz. These trees
are the Sequoia sempervirens of the botanist, and the largest one is said to be 366
feet high and 20 feet in diameter. On our arrival in San Jose, we shall transfer to
the Hotel Vendome.

San Jose and the Hotel Vendome.

One of the handsomest and most enterprising cities of California is San Jose,
which is about fifty miles south of San Francisco in the beautiful Santa Clara Valley
of the North. With a population of about 20,000, San Jose is nevertheless a city
of gardens, orchards, and vineyards. It is one of the great centres of the cherry
culture. The elegant Hotel Vendome occupies a square of twelve acres in the
prettiest part of the city, and is under the management of George P. Snell.
Mount Hamilton and the Lick Observatory.

The party will make an excursion by stage from San Jose to the summit of Mount
Hamilton, the site of the Lick Observatory. The elevation of the observatory is

4,209 feet above the sea level. The air-line distance between the two points is only
thirteen miles, but the road is twenty-six miles in length. It is a remarkable piece of
engineering, and the drive is a constant source of delight.

The observatory was founded by Mr. James Lick, and is one of the most complete
in the world. It contains, with other treasures of science, one of the world's greatest
telescopes. The observatory is under the direction of Professor Edward S. Holden.

San Rafael.

Leaving San Jose Friday afternoon the party will proceed northward by way of
Niles and Oakland to San Rafael. This charming place is fifteen miles from San
Francisco — six miles northward across the beautiful bay, and the remainder of
the distance over the San Francisco & North Pacific Railway line. It has long
been a favorite abiding-place of wealthy San Francisco business men, who have
dotted its fair expanse with gardens, vineyards, and beautiful villas. The Hotel
Rafael occupies a commanding position in the outskirts of the village, and is con-
ducted by R. H. Warfield. This hotel will be our headquarters until Saturday
afternoon, when there will be a return to the Palace Hotel in San Francisco.

From San Francisco to Portland.

The journey from California to Oregon will be made over the Southern Pacific
Company's Mount Shasta line. This is an all-rail route, which extends through the
Sacramento Valley, over the Siskiyou Mountains, and down through the Rogue?
Umpqua, and Willamette valleys of Oregon. Leaving San Francisco Monday even-
ing, May 30, by the Oakland ferry, the party will proceed to Oakland Pier, where a
train of Pullman palace cars will be in waiting.

The following morning finds us in the picturesque valley of the upper Sacramento,
and approaching noble Mount Shasta. Its slopes are covered with glistening snow
far down from its shapely summit ; and as it stands out almost solitary and alone, its
height and massiveness are all the more impressive. The railway strikes across to
the Siskiyou range, first descending to and crossing the Klamath River. Not far
north of the Klamath we cross the line into Oregon, and soon after dive into the
Siskiyou Tunnel, losing sight of the great California mountain. On the north side
of the range we descend into the charming valley of the Rogue River, a region of
rich farms. Further north is the valley of the Umpqua River, and thence we cross
to the valley of the Willamette, which we descend for nearly 200 miles to Portland.

Portland.

Arriving in Portland Wednesday morning, there will be an omnibus transfer to the
magnificent hotel, The Portland. This establishment is one of the finest hotels on
the Pacific Coast. It occupies a whole square in one of the pleasantest sections of
the city, and H. C. Bowers is the manager.

Portland has progressed rapidly within the past few years. The business thorough-
fares are lined with fine edifices, and many of the residences on the upper streets are
very tasteful as well as elegant and costly. From the slopes back of the city the
views are magnificent. Mount Hood is the dominant feature in the landscape, while
Mount St. Helens and other mountains are also in sight. There will be a carriage
drive through the finest portions of the city, and to the heights above.

From Portland to Tacoma.

The journey from Portland to Tacoma, a distance of 144 miles, will be made over
the Northern Pacific Railway, Friday, June 3. Lunch will be served en route in the

palace dining car of this line, and on arrival at Tacoma the party will transfer to The
Tacoma, where dinner will be served. Our inspection of Tacoma and Seattle will be
deferred until our return from Alaska.

The Alaska Voyage.

There will be a transfer Friday evening from the hotel to the wharf, where we
shall go on board the Alaska steamer, the " Queen," which is to be our home during
the coming ten days. This vessel is the finest of the Pacific Coast Steamship Com-
pany's fleet. The " Queen," already one of the most staunch, comfortable, and best
appointed vessels in the Pacific Coast service, has been put in the best possible
condition for Alaska tourist travel ; and the fact that she is to visit all the attrac-
tive points upon the Alaska route, will make the trip enjoyable in the fullest degree.

Puget Sound.

The first part of the voyage lies through the waters of picturesque Puget Sound.
This body of water has an area of 2,000 square miles, with an irregular shore line of
1,594 miles. The shores of the sound are in many places abrupt, and high moun-
tains seem to environ this beautiful body of water. At the head of the broad
peninsula west of the sound, extending towards the Strait of Juan de Fuca, is the
Olympic range of mountains, from 6,000 to upwards of 8,000 feet in height. The
" Queen " touches at Port Townsend and Victoria both going and returning, and there
will probably be a stay of several hours at the latter place. Northward of Puget
Sound, and extending to the Gulf of Georgia, lies Washington Sound. In this
region are San Juan, Orcas, Fidalgo, Lopez, and many lesser islands belonging to
the same group.

Along the East Coast of Vancouver Island.

Vancouver Island stretches along the coast of British Columbia 200 miles, in a
northwesterly direction, and our course lies through the inward channels and straits.
From Victoria we turn northward through Haro Strait. The view from the steamer's
deck is superb. Mount Baker, the noble Olympic range, and hundreds of other peaks
may be seen ; while the picturesque shores of the archipelago through which we are
passing form ever-changing visions of beauty. Emerging from Haro Strait, we are
for a time in the broader waters of the Strait of Georgia, and skirting Galiano,
Valdes, and Gabriola islands, which lie along the coast of Vancouver.

We continue through the Strait of Georgia, which narrows when Lasqueti and
Texada islands are reached. Long lines of snow peaks, tossed into fantastic forms
and gleaming in the declining sun like silver and gold, fill the eastern horizon. There
is a series of wonderful fjords north of Burrard Inlet, known successively as Howe
Sound, Jervis Inlet, Desolation Sound, Toba, Bute, Loughborough, Knight, King-
combe, Seymour, and Belize inlets. These are invariably lined with high mountains,
the waters at their foot being of untold depths. The whole region is uninhabited
except by a few scattered Indian tribes, and no signs of human life are discernible
except around a few saw-mills, salmon canneries, and two or three native villages.

Johnstone Strait is fifty-five miles in length, and is succeeded by a lesser stretch of
water called Broughton Strait, which lies between Vancouver and Malcolm islands.
On Cormorant Island, opposite the Nimkeesh River, is the Indian village of Alert
Bay, and also a cannery. At the south extremity of the town is a native burial
ground, where the graves are quaintly decorated with flags and rude carvings.
These Indians are mainly of the Nimkeesh tribe. The conical peak seen on Van-
couver Island, and long visible, is Mount Holdsworth. When the open water is

reached north of Broughton Strait, Fort Rupert, an old Hudson Bay Company's
post, and now an Indian agency, is seen on the left.

Above Vancouver Island.

We now leave Vancouver Island, its northern and northwesternmost capes, Com-
merell and Scott, with the string of Scott Islands, being seen at the left after Queen
Charlotte's Sound is entered. The vessel soon passes from Queen Charlotte's
Sound under the lee of Calvert Island, and enters the landlocked channel of Fitz-
hugh Sound. As we approach the northern extremity of the sound, the scenery
increases in grandeur, the lesser and nearer hills being clothed to their summits with
coniferous trees, while the more distant elevations are covered with snow. On the
shores of Campbell Island, at McLaughlin's Bay, is the Indian town of Bella-Bella,
and near it are some curiously adorned graves of the natives. Through Lama
Passage we enter Seaforth Channel, with its multitude of picturesque islands.

A prominent object seen on the approach to Milbank Sound is Helmet Peak, on
Lake Island ; and another farther north is Stripe Mountain, on Dowager Island. The
latter is marked by a great land-slip down its southwest face. Leaving Jorkins'
Point, the southern extremity of Princess Royal Island, to our left, we continue
northward through Finlayson Channel. The bold shores of this picturesque water
way are densely wooded, while waterfalls of great height add a new element of beauty
to the scenery. A contraction of the channel, known for twenty miles as Graham
Reach, and for the next ten miles as Fraser Reach, brings us to the northern end of
Princess Royal Island, where we turn westward through McKay Reach into Wright
Sound.

Grenville Channel, which is entered from Wright Sound, is for fully fifty miles as
straight as an arrow, and presents fresh scenes of wonderful beauty and sublimity —

mountains several thousand feet in height, which no man has ever visited and as yet
unnamed; cascades which seem to tumble from the sky itself, and densely wooded
shores where solitude reigns supreme. Then come Arthur Passage and Malacca
Passage, through which we enter the broad waters of Chatham Sound. We pass
Old Metlakahtla, — the scene of Mr. William Duncan's early labors, successes, and
struggles, — and Port Simpson, an important post of the Hudson Bay Company, on
the right. Continuing northward through Chatham Sound, there are many fine views
of distant mountain ranges.

Alaska.

Leaving the picturesque Portland Inlet on our right, into which enter the Nass
River, Observatory Inlet, and Portland Canal, we soon cross, in latitude 54 degrees
40 minutes, the boundary line between British Columbia and Alaska.

That the area of Alaska is vast, is a well-known fact ; but few persons realize that
it is nearly one sixth as large as the entire United States, and more than one seventh
as large as the whole of Europe. England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, together
with Prussia, Spain, and Italy, might all be placed within its borders, with an area to
spare, for Alaska covers no less than 580,107 square miles. The island of Attu, the
farthest of the Aleutian Chain, is as far west of San Francisco as Bangor is east of
it, and, in fact, 2,090 miles west of Sitka. It is as far from the northern to the
southern point of Alaska as from Maine to Florida, and as far from its eastern
boundary to its westernmost as from Washington to California. It contains the
highest mountains on the North American Continent, save Orizaba, in Mexico. Its
great river, the Yukon, computed to be not less than 3,000 miles long, is navigable
for 2,000 miles.

One of the most popular errors extant about Alaska has reference to its climate.
The winters of northern and interior Alaska are undoubtedly very severe ; but the
coast south of the Aleutian Islands being under the influence of the Kurisiwo, or
Black Current of Japan, possesses in reality a mild climate.

The native population of Alaska, with the exceotion of a single tribe, — the Tinnehs,
found in the interior, — estimated by the census reports of 1890 at something over
23,000 altogether, is not of Indian origin. Whether Mongolian, Aztec, or both,
remains to be proven. Persons who have devoted attention to the subject have
found much in the language, customs, and arts of the Haidas, to support the Aztec
theory, while there is also much to suggest Japanese or Chinese origin. According to
the census reports, there are five distinct tribes, viz. : the Innuit, the Aleuts, the Tin-
nehs, the Thlinkets and the Haidas. Those mostly seen by the tourists are Thlink-
ets, but at Wrangel there are likely to be some Haidas. The white population of
the Territory in 1890 was only 4,303 — 3,860 males and 443 females.

The United States paid Russia the sum of $7,200,000 for the country in 1868. The
seal catch alone has returned a good rate of interest on this expenditure. The fish-
eries are valued at $3,000,000 a year, and the gold production is large and of growing
importance. Some forty salmon canneries are in operation during the season, giving
employment to 2,000 white laborers, 2,500 Chinese, mostly skilled workmen, and 1,500
natives, most of them fishermen. For the production of gold, many mining districts
have been organized. There are sixteen mills for crushing ore in the Territory,
with 550 stamps, and placer mining continues active. So far from being a barren,
bleak, untenable country, as the opponents of the purchase scheme so strongly
contended, Alaska is likely to become one of the richest parts of our national
domain.

Along the Alaskan Coast.

In entering Alaska from British Columbian waters, the voyager crosses Dixon
Entrance. One of the first points of land seen jutting into American waters is Cape
Fox, so named by Vancouver. From Dixon Entrance we course northward through
Clarence Strait, which is over 100 miles long and nowhere less than four miles in
width. Throughout the whole of Clarence Strait we have the great Prince of Wales
Island on the West. At Port Chester, on Annette Island, Mr. Duncan has founded
the new Metlakahtla, and is rapidly building up a substantial town.

Fort Wrangel.

After passing Etoline, Zarembo, and some lesser islands, and emerging from Clar-
ence Strait, we reach Fort Wrangel, an old Russian Settlement that stands at the
head of Wrangel Island. The place is interesting to the stranger as possessing the
best display of totem poles he is likely to see. The natives are divided into families,
or clans, of which the Raven, the Wolf, the Whale, and the Eagle are the chief repre-
sentatives, and, as tradition relates, the progenitors. Thus the representation of these
animals or birds, with their commingling in case of inter-marriages becomes a sort
of family crest. It was also customary to ornament the top of the totem pole with a
figure wearing a tyhee hat, in case the householder was a chief, and upon this would
be cut a series of rings, corresponding with the number of "pot-latches" (a feast with
gifts) with which the inmate had honored his friends. Silver bracelets and bangles,
carved horn spoons (now becoming rare),Chilkaht blankets, and black stone carvings
are the curios mostly sought after by tourists throughout Alaska and at British
Columbian ports. The spoons are made from the horn of the mountain goat.

The Alaskans have many strange customs, one of which is for the young women to
besmear their faces with a hideous black paint. Another is the wearing of the labrette,

a silver, ivory, bone, or wooden ornament that is thrust through the under lip. A
Thlinket woman is not always an object of beauty under favoring circumstances, and
certainly a blackened face and a labrette do not serve to make her look anywise pret-
tier. There are at Wrangel a flourishing school and mission.
Northward from Fort Wrangel.

Resuming the voyage, we turn westward from Fort Wrangel, and entering Wran-
gel Narrows, steam northward and out through the mouth of Souchoi Channel into
Prince Frederick's Sound. On emerging from the Narrows new visions of grandeur
await our wondering gaze. A range of high mountains is seen upon the opposite
shore, and from one of the elevations rises a remarkable monolith called the Devil's
Thumb. In one place a huge glacier pours its frozen flood nearly down to the sea.
Leaving Prince Frederick's Sound, we sail northward through Stephen's passage,
which has for the greater part the mainland on the right, and Admiralty Island on
the left, as its boundaries.

Taku Inlet and Its Glaciers.

Meanwhile we pass Holkham Bay, and Taku Inlet, a great fjord entering from the
east, where there are glaciers running down to the water's edge. The captain is
accustomed to enter Taku Inlet, and to obtain a supply of ice for the ship at first
hand. The glacier at the head of the inlet is magnificent, with a perpendicular wall
of ice upwards of 100 feet high. The spectacle here presented is hardly inferior to
that of the Muir Glacier farther north.

Juneau and the Gold Mines on Douglas Island.

Leaving Taku Inlet to the right, we ascend Gastineaux Channel, and soon reach
the mining town of Juneau, the most populous settlement in all Alaska. Here, on a

narrow strip of land, at the foot of a deep ravine flanked by precipitous mountains,
is a cluster of white houses. Half a mile away, and reached by a muddy footpath,
is an Auk village. A few miles back of Juneau lies the Silver Bow mining basin;
and on the opposite side of the narrow channel is the famous Treadwell gold mine.
The surroundings of Juneau are very picturesque. At the Treadwell Mine, on
Douglas Island, is a crushing mill of 240 stamps, one of the largest in the world.
At the Treadwell Mine the ore actually in sight is estimated to be worth five times
the sum the United States paid for the entire Territory.

Northward again and up Lynn Canal.

From Juneau, our steamer returns to St. Stephen's Passage before proceeding
northward. We soon reach Lynn Canal, a remarkable fjord that extends sixty miles
directly north into the mountains, there terminating in two forks, named respectively
the Chilkaht and Chilkoot inlets. High mountains line the shores, and no less than
nineteen glaciers pour their icy floods down their sides. Two of these, the Eagle
Glacier and the Davidson Glacier — the latter on the west, near the head of the
channel — are especially notable. As we sail in front, the lower slopes of the glacier
are screened by a growth of trees that has sprung up on its terminal moraine. Above
the trees, it is seen pouring down through a rocky gorge, below which it spreads out
like a fan to the breadth of three miles.

The Great Muir Glacier, in Glacier Bay.

We now turn our attention to the crowning glory of this veritable wonderland —
the great Muir Glacier. This is reached by retracing the way southward through
Lynn Canal to the point where its waters mingle with those of Cross Sound or Icy
Strait, from whence we turn northwestward into Glacier Bay. Willoughby Island,

near the middle of the bay, is a bare1 rock, about two miles long and 1,500 feet high,
showing glacial furrows and polished surfaces from the bottom to the top. The
Muir Glacier enters an inlet of the same name, near the head of the bay, in latitude
58 degrees 50 minutes north, and longitude 136 degrees 40 minutes west of Green-
wich. It was named for Professor John Muir, the Pacific Coast geologist. The
glacier enters the sea with a gigantic front two or three hundred feet above the water
and a mile wide. Imagine a wall of blue ice splintered into columns, spires, and
huge crystal masses, with grottoes, crevices, and recesses, higher than Bunker Hill
Monument, and of such far-reaching extent ! It is a spectacle that is strangely
beautiful in its variety of form and depth of color, and at the same time awful in its
grandeur and suggestion of power. There are mountains each side of the glacier.
High up on the bare walls are seen the scored and polished surfaces produced by
glacial action, indicating that once the ice stream was thousands of feet thick. The
steamer generally approaches the glacier front to within a safe distance, near enough,
however, for a close examination of its formidable wall, and there is also time for a
landing and a limited exploration of its surface and surroundings.

Sitka.

Leaving Glacier Bay with reluctance, we shall steam away for Sitka, the capital of
Alaska. Sitka is on the western shore of Baranoff Island, inside Kruzoff Island. It
is very picturesquely situated, with a noble background of mountains, while the bay
is dotted with scores of beautiful green islands.

It was founded in 1804 by Baron Baranoff, the first Russian Governor of Russian
America. There are many reminders of Russian occupation, the chief of which is
the Greek Church. Several other large structures, built during Russian occupancy,

remain, and serve for barracks, court rooms, etcl The principal street of the town
extends from the wharf to the Greek Church, and then, bending around the corner
of that notable edifice, winds along the beach to the Presbyterian Mission.

A little square at the left of the main street near the water — beyond which is the
modest residence of the Governor of the Territory — was once a Russian shipyard.
Stretching along the shore to the left is the native town or rancheric, where 800 to
1,000 Sitkans live in the peculiar kind of frame houses common to other parts of
Southern Alaska. The Greek Church, with its green roof and bulging spire, is the
most picturesque edifice in the town, and is one of the chief centres of attraction.
The Presbyterian Mission, established in 1877 by Rev. Sheldon Jackson, D. D., and
Mrs. A. R. McFarland, and now under the charge of Rev. Alonzo E. Austin, is the
largest in Alaska.

The Return Trip.

Sitka is accounted the end of the northward voyage, although situated many miles
south of Glacier Bay. We have yet nearly 1,000 miles of water passage to accom-
plish before again reaching Puget Sound. The track will be in the main over the
same magnificent course we have come, with the omission of the more northward
portion. There will perhaps be landings at several points, although this is not cer-
tain ; and the trip will possess fresh interest from the fact that much of the scenery
missed in the night during the northbound passage will now be visible.

Victoria, B. C.

Returning once more to Puget Sound the steamer touches again at Victoria, the
capital of British Columbia. Victoria is a beautiful city of about 22,000 inhabitants,
charmingly situated at the southeastern extremity of* Vancouver Island. The com-
mercial importance of British Columbia is gaining and centres largely at Victoria,

the export trade of the port amounting to some $6,000,000 annually. The Alaska
steamers lie at the outer wharf, from which a street-car line leads to the centre of
the city.

Port Townsend.

After leaving Victoria, the " Queen " will continue on to the American ports on
Puget Sound, the first of which is Port Townsend, situated at the head of the Strait
of Juan de Fuca, and until recently the port of entry for the whole Puget Sound dis-
trict. From Port Townsend the steamer proceeds to Seattle and Tacoma, where it
is expected that the party will arrive not later than Tuesday, June 14.

Tacoma.

The beautiful city of Tacoma, situated at the head of Commencement Bay, had
scarcely an existence a score of years ago. In 1880 the number of inhabitants was
1,098. In 1890 it was 36,006. Its manufacturing interests are large and constantly
increasing. The city occupies a high bluff, overlooking the sound and the Puyallup
Valley, at the head of which stands the giant snow peak of Mount Rainier. During
the visit to Tacoma the party will make its headquarters at The Tacoma.

Seattle.

Seattle is a remarkable city that has been built up on the east shore of the sound.
With a population of 42,837 in 1890 against 3,533 in 1880, the city is already one of
the leading Pacific Coast points, and its many interests are constantly increasing in
importance. Seattle is charmingly situated between the waters of Elliot Bay and
Lake Washington, a body of fresh water thirty miles in length. The leading hotel
is The Rainier-Grand.

Eastward over the Northern Pacific Railway.

The homeward journey is to be made over the Northern Pacific Railway. Nine-
teen miles east of Spokane, the boundary line between Washington and the new
State of Idaho is crossed. The Northern Pacific Railway traverses a very narrow
strip of the northern part of the last-named State, the distance from the western bor-
der to the eastern being about seventy-eight miles only. Near Clark's Fork station,
we pass out of Idaho and into the State of Montana, which is very nearly as large as
the great States of New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois combined. There are in
Montana nearly 40,000,000 acres of grazing lands, and 16,000,000 which are suitable
for farming, in addition to its vast wealth in mines. Missoula, the county seat of
Missoula County, is beautifully situated at the western gateway of the Rocky Moun-
tains. It was formerly an isolated and remote frontier post, but the railroad has
made it a stirring town.

The Rocky Mountains are crossed just west of Helena, and at Livingston we leave
the main line for a tour through the Yellowstone National Park.
The Yellowstone National Park.

The reservation known as the Yellowstone National Park, set apart for public
uses by an Act of Congress passed in 1872, originally covered a tract of about 65
miles in length from north to south, and about 55 miles in width from east to west,
lying chiefly in Northwestern Wyoming, and overlapping, to a small extent, the bound-
ary of Montana on the north, and of Idaho on the west. This gave an area of about
3,575 square miles. To this was added, in 1891, a forest reservation of nearly 2,000
square miles, comprising the country adjacent to the former park on the south and
east. Thus the area of the national reservation has been extended eight miles south
and about twenty-four miles east.

In 1871 Dr. F. V. Hayden made his preliminary survey, the report of which
prompted Congress to set aside the tract as a public park. Since that time Dr.
Hayden and his assistants have made further surveys of the region, and his twelfth
annual report, for 1878 (issued in 1883), gives the fullest information about the park
yet published. For several years Mr. Arnold Hague, with a corps of scientific assist-
ants, was engaged making a series of careful surveys of the region. "The number
of geysers, hot springs, mud pots, and paint pots," said Mr. Hague in 1887, "exceeds
3,500; and if to these be added the fumaroles and solfutaras, the number of active
vents would probably be doubled." The same authority enumerates seventy-five
active geysers in the four principal basins.

The park is under the care of the Secretary of the Interior, and the present efficient
superintendent is Colonel S. B. M. Young, of the United States Cavalry. The
regulations against the marring or removal of geyser or hot spring deposits are
necessarily strict, and are impartially enforced.

Mammoth Hot Springs.

We first visit the Mammoth Hot Springs, before setting out for the stage journey
through the further marvels of this most fascinating and wonderful region.

The springs have built up a series of remarkable terraces on the west side of a little
plateau, or basin, 1,000 feet above the Gardiner River, into which their waters flow.
The whole plateau and the steep slopes extending down to the river are mainly com-
posed of carbonate of lime deposits, resulting from springs now extinct. There are
no active geysers at the present time in this basin. The principal objects of interest
are the Liberty Cap and Thumb ; the active springs, Pulpit Basins, Marble Basins,
and Blue Springs, on the main terrace; and Cleopatra's Bowl, Cupid's Cave, and the
Orange Spring, which are higher and farther back.

On the Road to the Geysers.

Leaving the hotel at Mammoth Hot Springs, the party will proceed to the Lower
and Upper Geyser Basins via the Norris Geyser Basin. This journey and the subse-
quent trips about the park will be made in comfortable wagons. The early part of
the ride lies over a road which ascends the banks of Glen Creek to the Golden Gate.
On the plateau above, from which a grand view is had of Electric Peak, Quadrant
Mountain, Bell's Peak, and Mount Holmes, Swan Lake is situated. Near Beaver
Lake are the famous Obsidian Cliffs, a ridge of volcanic glass from 150 to 250 feet
high and 1,000 feet in length. We halt at the Norris Geyser Basin Hotel for lunch.
The principal attractions in the Norris Geyser Basin are numerous springs and a
few veritable geysers, the chief one being the Monarch. The Hurricane is a fierce,
roaring spring, and the Growler is the significant name of another vigorous steam
and water vent. These are brought under inspection soon after leaving the Norris
lunch station, and we proceed fwenty miles farther, past the beautiful Gibbon River
Falls to the Fountain Hotel.

The Lower Geyser Basin.

The chief points of interest visited by tourists in the Lower Geyser Basin are the
Fountain Geyser and Mammoth Paint Pots, which are situated near each other.
The Fountain is a very handsome geyser, and is in eruption five or six times daily.
The Paint Pots constitute one of the chief wonders of the park. In a crater forty
feet in diameter, there are mud springs, in which the material cast forth has the
appearance of paint of different shades.

The Excelsior Geyser and Prismatic Lake.

On Tuesday we drive to the Upper Geyser Basin, passing through the chief
wonders of the Midway Geyser Basin. These are Turquoise Spring, the Prismatic

Lake, and the crater of the Excelsior Geyser. A very expressive title given to this
last-named object is Hell's Half Acre. Two rivulets pour forth from the cauldron
and from the neighboring springs, and the deposits along their channels are very
brilliantly colored.

The Turquoise Spring, near the Excelsior, is beautiful in its rich tints of blue, and
Prismatic Lake, also near at hand, is another wonderful display of color.

The Upper Geyser Basin and its Wonders.

About five miles above the Excelsior Geyser we come to the Upper Geyser Basin.
Here, in a nearly level tract inclosed by low hilte, with the Firehole River flowing
through it, and mainly upon the east side, are found the chief geysers of this mar-
velous region. There are here forty geysers, nine of which are large, besides many
beautiful hot springs. The Upper Basin group includes, with others, the following :
Old Faithful, Castle, Bee Hive, Giant, Giantess, Grotto, Grand, Oblong, Splendid,
Comet, Fan, Mortar, Riverside, Turban, Saw Mill, Lion, and Lioness. These are
scattered over the surface of the basin, chiefly along the river bank, Old Faithful
being at the southern extremity. ' The Grotto, Giant, Oblong and Castle are near
the road. The Bee Hive, with its handsome cone, is upon the opposite side of the
river from the hotel. Many beautiful springs are in proximity to the geysers, forming
objects of interest second only to the mammoth fountains of hot water. Old Faith-
ful makes a magnificent display, and is one of the handsomest geysers in the park.

From the Lower Geyser Basin to Yellowstone Lake.

Wednesday morning we proceed via the Upper Geyser Basin to Yellowstone Lake.
The road twice crosses the Continental Divide, affording fine views of Shoshone

Lake and a portion of the park not otherwise seen. Lunch will be served at " West
Bay," or " The Thumb," as it is often called.

Yellowstone Lake.

This magnificent sheet of water covers a superficial area of 139 square miles, with
an irregular shore line of about 100 miles, and is the largest lake in North America
at this altitude. The hotel, a new and commodious building, is built upon a bluff at
the entrance of a little bay near the outlet. The view from this point is charming.

The Falls and Canon of the Yellowstone.

Leaving the Lake Hotel Thursday morning, we shall proceed to the Canon Hotel,
passing on the way a wonderful object known as the Mud Volcano. It is a pit about
twenty feet in depth, and from a spacious opening on one side at the bottom boiling
mud surges forth with great vehemence. The hotel will be reached about noon. The
Yellowstone Falls are two in number. At the head of the Upper Fall the river has a
width of about eighty feet, and the waters plunge over a shelf between walls that are
from 200 to 300 feet in height, upon a partially submerged reef 109 feet below. Dense
clouds of spray and mist veil fully one third of the cataract. Half a mile below this
fall is the Lower or (Jreat Fall, which is grander and more impressive than the other,
though not more picturesque. Here the waters pour into the abyss of the Yellow-
stone Canon, the sheer descent being 308 feet. The best views are had farther down
the trail, where many favoring points afford an outlook into the wonderful canon.
Clouds of mist ascend from the foot of the falls, and the walls are covered with a
rank growth of mosses and alga. The canon is considered by many the greatest of
the park marvels. The gorgeous coloring of the canon walls is its distinguishing
feature. The beholder is no longer left in doubt as to the reason for bestowing the

name of Yellowstone upon this remarkable river. The beautifully saffron-tinted walls
give the explanation. There are other tints in opulence. Crimsons and greens are
seen with all their gradations and blendings. Emerald mosses and foliage form the
settings for dashes of bright rainbow colors.

From the Canon to the Mammoth Hot Springs.

Leaving the Canon Hotel Friday morning, we pass the beautiful Virginia Cascade,
one of the prettiest sights in the park. From the Norris Geyser Basin, where we
halt for lunch, we proceed to the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel.

From the Yellowstone Park Eastward.

Departing from the hotel after dinner the same afternoon, Friday, June 24, by
stage, the party will proceed to Cinnabar, whence the route takes us back to Living-
ston, on the Park branch, and then eastward on the main line of the Northern
Pacific Railway. For some 350 miles we follow the banks of the Yellowstone.
Custer, Forsyth, and Miles City are places named in honor of military heroes.

Thirty-six miles east of Glendive and one mile west of Sentinel Butte we pass out
of Montana, through which we have journeyed on the main line of railway 780 miles.
The succeeding 367 miles lie within the State of North Dakota. Mandan, Bismarck,
Jamestown, and Fargo are the chief cities passed through. We enter the State of
Minnesota at Moorehead, and among the principal towns parsed are Lake Park,
Detroit, Wadena, Little Falls, and Anoka.

» Minneapolis and St. Paul.

The stay in these two prosperous and beautiful cities will be long enough to
accomplish much in the way of sight-seeing, carriage drives being arranged for both

cities. Our headquarters in Minneapolis will be at the West Hotel, and in St. Paul
at Hotel Ryan.

From St. Paul Eastward.

' Leaving St. Paul Tuesday evening, we resume the homeward journey via the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway to Chicago, arriving in that city Wednesday,
at 9.30 A.M.; thence over the Michigan Central, the New York Central, and the
Boston & Albany lines, and the party will be due in Boston Thursday, June 30,
at 3.00 P. M.

The New York passengers will be due at the Grand Central station, Forty-second
street, Thursday, June 30, at 3.25 P. M.

The Philadelphia passengers will be due at the Reading Terminal station, Twelfth
and Market streets, Thursday, June 30, at 7.17 P. M.

FIFTEENTH ANNUAL SPRING TOUR

CALIFORNIA, THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST

. . . AND THE . . .

YEIiLiOWSTOflE

April ig to June 22, 1898.

OUR annual spring tour across the continent and through the wonderfully pic-
turesque regions of the Pacific Northwest, which has been exceedingly popu-
lar during the past fourteen years, will be made as attractive as ever the
coming season. This trip is like the excursion already described, except that the
Alaska voyage is omitted. The outward journey through Kansas, Colorado and
Utah will possess peculiar interest on account of its many attractive features. The
tour through California extends from one end of the Golden State to the other, and
could not well be made more comprehensive, including, as it does, its famous pictu-
resque points, its groves and gardens, its prominent cities, and its great seashore,
health, and pleasure resorts. The journey from California to Oregon is to be made
over the magnificent Mount Shasta route, and the round of travel through Oregon,

Washington, and the Puget Sound region will be quite elaborate, so that little that is
possible in the way of sight-seeing is left undone. The return trip lies over the entire
length of the Northern Pacific Railway from Portland and Tacoma to St. Paul, and
a week will be devoted to the matchless wonders of the Yellowstone National Park.

The tour will thus be made to include Chicago, Denver, Colorado Springs, the
Royal Gorge, the Canon of the Grand River, Salt Lake City, Santa Barbara, Santa
Monica, Avalon, Pasadena, Riverside, San Diego and Coronado Beach, Los Angeles
(the Yosemite Valley and Big Tree Groves on a side trip if desired), San Francisco,
Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Jose, the summit of Mount Hamilton, the Mount Shasta
region, Portland, Tacoma, Seattle, Port Townsend, Victoria, B. C., all the places of
interest within the Yellowstone National Park, Minneapolis and St. Paul — a truly
grand list of places to be visited, indicating a far-reaching round of travel.

As-the route of this excursion has already been described in the foregoing pages
in connection with the Alaskan tour, we would refer the reader to pages 22-34 and
45-52, for a detailed account of the regions to be traversed, the characteristics of the
cities that will be visited, and the principal objects of interest to sight-seers.

The two parties have the same itineraries from the time of starting in the East
until their arrival in Portland after the tour throughout California. The return jour-
ney from Tacoma, with the Yellowstone National Park trip, will also be duplicated.
The sketch of the former tour is therefore wholly applicable to this one, with
the single exception of the voyage from Tacoma to Alaska and return.

Price of Tickets.

The price of tickets for the tour, as outlined in the following itinerary, will be FIVE
HUNDRED AND SIXTY DOLLARS. This sum covers first-class travel over all railway

EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL SPRING EXCURSION

CALIFORNIA &&d COLORADO,

April *9 to June JO, J898.

THE Pacific Coast from San Diego to San Francisco, and the Rocky Mountains
of Colorado will be the principal objective points of a third party of tourists
leaving the East with the two parties already mentioned in this book. In
California the round of sight-seeing will be the same, and this is true of that portion
of the outward journey east of La Junta, Colorado. Beyond La Junta we have an
entirely different route until California is reached, traversing a very interesting sec-
tion of New Mexico and Arizona, and visiting the old Spanish city of Santa Fe.
The homeward route, on the other hand, is through the grand scenic portions of
Nevada, Utah, and Colorado, instead of the more northerly route followed by the two
other parties. This tour, accordingly, has its own special attractions.

The time selected for the trip is the best that can be had for sight-seeing. It is
after the close of the rainy season, when the Yosemite Valley and other places of
interest are thoroughly accessible to travel, and when the face of Nature wears its
loveliest smile. While the excursion is planned liberally as to time, the sojourns at
different points are no longer than is necessary to see the places visited in a thorough
and at the same time leisurely manner. The journey is accomplished in the shortest

period commensurate with this purpose : and thus persons who might find it incon-
venient to absent themselves from business or home ties for several months can see
California in the most comprehensive manner, yet without any loss of time.

The passengers will not be hurried over any section of the route where it is desir-
able to stop, and the sojourns at different points in New Mexico, California, Utah,
and Colorado, with the various side trips, are sufficient to encompass a great amount
of sight-seeing.

Inasmuch as the route of this party for over one-half the distance from the Atlantic
Coast to Southern California, and also the various places to be visited in California,
have been described in connection with the Alaska tour, the programme for this
excursion up to the departure from San Francisco will here be outlined only in brief.
The Yosemite Valley may be visited or omitted, as the traveler may prefer. Whether
the valley be included or left out, the tour, in the conditions under which it is made,
and the places and scenes which it includes, is delightful in every respect. The
round trip will occupy fifty-three days.

Cost of the Tour.

The price of tickets for the excursion, as outlined in the following itinerary, will be
FOUR HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS. This sum covers first-class travel
over all routes, going and returning, with a double berth (half a section) in palace
sleeping cars; stage ride from San Jose to the summit of Mount Hamilton and
return ; hotel accommodations according to the itinerary, for the period of the regular
tour (fifty-three days), with visits in Chicago, Santa Fe, Coronado Beach, Riverside,
Pasadena, Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, Avalon, Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Jose, Salt Lake City, Glenwood Springs, Denver and
Manitou ; meals while traveling in dining cars, or at hotels or dining stations ; omnibus

or carriage transfers from railway stations to hotels, and vice versa, wherever
needed (in Chicago, San Diego, Riverside, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, San Fran-
cisco, Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Jose, San Rafael, Salt Lake City, Denver and
Manitou ; special carriage rides in Santa Barbara, Pasadena, Santa Cruz, Salt Lake
City,, Denver and Manitou; the transfer of checked baggage (150 pounds being

of the entire round trip from Boston, New York or Philadelphia back to the starting
point.

itinerary, is $21.00. Drawing room, with toilet annex, for one occupant, $58.00; for
two occupants, $37 — $18.50 each ; for three occupants, entire extra charge, $16.00.

THE JOCKEY If!

Crossing the Continent Westward.

THE California and Colorado party, setting forth to cross the continent, will leave
Boston from the Kneeland street station of the Boston & Albany Railroad at 10.30
A. M. Tuesday, April 19, and proceed by way of the superb Boston & Albany, New
York Central, and Michigan Central lines. Chicago will be reached at 3.00 p. M. the
following day, and there will be a transfer to The Auditorium.

The New York passengers will depart from the Grand Central station, Forty-
second street, via the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad, Tuesday, April
19, at i.oo P. M., and the route from Albany will be the same as that of the Boston
party.

The Philadelphia 'tourists will leave that city from the Reading Terminal station,
corner of Twelfth and Market streets, Tuesday, April 19, at 9.00 A. M., via the Phila-
delphia & Reading and the Lehigh Valley routes.

Westward from Chicago.

Thursday afternoon, April 21, the party will resume the westward journey over the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway, which takes us to Kansas City, where we
enter upon the extensive Atchison, Topeka & Sante Fe Railway system, over which
the farther journey to Southern California is to be made. The course takes us from
Kansas City through Kansas, a corner of Colorado, and across the Territories of
Xc\v Mexico and Arizona. Sunday will be passed in the quaint old Spanish city of

Santa Fe, the oldest city in the United States. We enter California at the crossing
of the Colorado River near The Needles. After traversing the desolate Mojave
desert we turn southward through the Cajon Pass of the San Bernardino Mountains,
and on Tuesday, April 26, find ourselves in the garden of Southern California.

In California.

The round of travel and sight-seeing in California is essentially the same as that
of the two parties whose route is outlined on pages 27-33, though the place* will be
visited in a little different order. As will be seen by referring to the itinerary, the
first visit will be to Coronado Beach, near San Diego. Then will follow visits to
Riverside, Pasadena, Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, Avalon, Los Angeles, San Fran-
cisco, Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Jose and Mount Hamilton, and San Rafael.
There will also be an opportunity to make the side trip into the Yosemite Valley.
As will readily be seen, the round of travel in California is very comprehensive and
brings the very best portions of the State under inspection.
From San Francisco Eastward.

Leaving San Francisco for the homeward journey, the route eastward will be over
the Southern Pacific Company's line across Central California and Nevada to
Ogden, Utah; thence to Denver, Colo., by the Rio Grande Western and the Denver
& Rio Grande lines ; and from Denver to the Missouri River, through Kansas and
Nebraska, and thence across Iowa and Illinois to Chicago, by the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific Railway. The schedule has been arranged so that the train will
traverse the most attractive part of the Sierra Nevada by daylight. As far as Port
Costa, thirty-two miles out, we follow the route over which we approached San Fran-
cisco. At that point we cross the Straits of Carquinez to Benicia on the mammoth

steam ferry-boat " Solano," the largest craft of its kind in the world ; and for a farther
distance of over 2,500 miles the course is over fresh ground.

Across the Sierra Nevada.

The route of this party from Sacramento to Denver is that of the outward Alaska
party taken in reverse order, and by referring to pages 23-26, a more complete outline
of its attractions will be found. We first cross the Sierra Nevada, passing Cape

THE

YALiliEY.

A SIDE TRIP IN CONNECTION WITH THE THREE CALIFORNIA TOURS.

THE wonderful Yosemite Valley may be visited to the best possible advantage in
connection with the three tours that have been described in the foregoing
pages. The different parties will be in Southern and Central California during
the larger part of May. At that time the roads in the valley are usually well settled,
the country is fresh with the flowers and foliage of spring, and the waterfalls are full.
The Yosemite trip includes also the famous Big Tree Groves.

The valley lies in the heart of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, 1 50 miles nearly due
east from San Francisco. The principal features of the Yosemite are, first, the near
approach of its walls to verticality ; second, their great height, not only absolutely,
but as compared with the width of the valley itself; and, third, the small amount of
debris at the base of the cliffs. The floor of the valley is a generally level or rolling
wooded park, ranging from half a mile to a mile in width. It is immediately bordered
by cliffs, nearly or quite vertical, rising to heights ranging from over half a mile to
almost one mile above the valley. Elevations above the sea are as follows : Floor
of the valley, 4,000 feet ; El Capitan,7,3oofeet ; Cathedral Rocks, 6,660 feet ; Glacier
Point, 7,200 feet; Half Dome, 8,737 feet; Three Brothers, 7,830 feet; North Dome,

7,568 feet ; Washington Column, 5,875 feet. The waterfalls are hardly less marvelous
than the cliffs — the Yosemite, 2,600 feet in height, the highest fall in the known
world ; the Bridal Veil, dashing into spray from an altitude of 900 feet ; and the
Vernal and Nevada Falls of the Merced River, 400 and 600 feet in height.

The Big Tree Groves, of which the Calaveras and Mariposa are the best known,
are found only on the western slope of the Sierra, at an elevation of 5,000 to 7,000
feet. The largest growth is 115 feet in circumference, the greatest height 325 feet,
and some of these giants are from 1,500 to 2,000 years old.

It has been deemed advisable to make the visit to the Yosemite Valley and the
Big Trees a side or supplementary trip, at a slight additional expense, the same as in
previous years, rather than to include it in the regular round. This course is taken
in order that every person may exercise his or her own preference in the matter, not
only in reference to making the trip, but also in regard to the time to be occupied in
connection therewith. As will be seen from the itineraries of the regular tours on
pages 17, 18, 61, 62, 74 and 75, an unusual allowance of time has been given to Los
Angeles and San Francisco. The Yosemite may be visited during this interval, with
a sufficient stay in the valley, without slighting the cities named. The parties for
the valley will leave Los Angeles on different days during the advertised halt there,
and rejoin those of their associates who do not go to the valley, in San Francisco.

Berenda, 304 miles from Los Angeles and 178 miles from San Francisco, is the
point of departure from the main line of the Southern Pacific Railroad. A branch
road extends from Berenda to Raymond, twenty-one miles, from which latter point
the stages run. The stage transportation will be furnished by the Yosemite Valley
Stage & Turnpike Company. No horseback riding is now required to reach either
the Yosemite Valley or the Mariposa Grove of Big Trees. The distance from Ray-

mond to the Wavvona Hotel (formerly known as Clarke's) is forty-two miles, and
from there to the valley twenty-eight miles.

The cost of the ticket, covering railway and stage transportation from Berenda to
the Big Trees and Yosemite Valley, returning to Berenda, is THIRTY-FOUR DOLLARS.
As the trip will be made during some portion of the period allotted to the sojourn in
Los Angeles or San Francisco, some of the hotel coupons will remain unused. All
such will be redeemed, thus lessening the cost. The sleeping-car ticket (good from
Los Angeles to San Francisco) will be taken up before Berenda is reached, and can-
not be used on a subsequent date. Therefore, Yosemite Valley excursionists will
have to pay for sleeping-car space from Berenda to San Francisco. Hotel accommo-
dations at Wawona and in the Yosemite Valley, and meals en route, are also extra.
The entire cost of the trip, including transportation, board, meals, excursions in and
about the valley, etc., after deducting the value of unused hotel coupons in the regular
excursion ticket book, will be less than $50.

As it is essential that all arrangements for stage transportation and hotel accom-
modations shall be made in advance of the arrival of the parties in California, per-
sons desiring to make the trip are requested to buy their stage tickets for the Yosem-
ite tour when the general excursion tickets are taken before starting from the East.

Tourists usually spend about three days in the valley. This is sufficient time for a
leisurely viewing of the wonderful scenery. The Big Trees are visited en route while
returning from the valley to Raymond, unless the traveler chooses, as he may well
do, to spend an extra day or two at Wawona, in order to visit the trees and Signal
Peak. With a three days' stay, about one week is required for the trip from Los
Angeles via the Yosemite and the Big Trees to San Francisco, the itinerary being
substantially as follows : —
