A GLIMPSE OF ST. PAUL. 
 
 A MINNEAPOLIS THOROUGHFARE. 
 
 MINNESOTA'S NOTED CAPITOL. 
 
 OVER THE SCENIC HIGHWAY 
 
 HE map herein of "The Scenic Highway 
 Through the Land of Fortune" (on pages 
 10 and 11) will serve to give some idea of 
 the productive and prosperous territory 
 through which this giant system extends ; 
 the great states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, 
 North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Wash- 
 ington and Oregon. The Northern Pacific 
 Railway has over 6,000 miles of main and 
 branch lines in these states. It operates 
 
 daily through trains from Chicago via St. Paul- Minneapolis, and 
 from St. Louis via Billings to the North Pacific Coast, in addition 
 to several daily through trains between St Paul, Minneapolis, Du- 
 luth, Superior and Puget Sound and Portland. 
 
 St. Paul and Minneapolis : The "Twin Cities" 
 
 Approaching Saint Paul from any direction the visitor's atten- 
 tion is inevitably attracted by the great white dome of the Min- 
 nesota State Capitol, a building which, for beautiful architecture, 
 elegance of design, and impressive appearance, is scarcely sur- 
 passed by even the National Capitol at Washington. The structure 
 cost five millions of dollars and was thirteen years under construc- 
 tion. In the decoration of its magnificent interior the builders drew 
 on every quarter of the world, and upon the talent of the greatest 
 masters of American art. The Governor's reception room is per- 
 haps one of the most beautiful of its kind in the United States. 
 The dome, which is of exceeding lightness and grace, rises two 
 hundred and twenty feet in height and is constructed independently 
 of the main building. Above the roof line it is of solid marble. 
 The length of the building from East to West measures four hun- 
 dred and thirty-three feet. 
 
 St. Paul and Minneapolis are cities of factories and mills, great 
 wholesale houses and immense retail stores. On every hand are 
 
 evidences of prosperity and progressiveness. Their public build- 
 ings and homes are particularly noticeable for their luxury and 
 beauty. They are two of the most picturesque cities in the United 
 States, and the center of many interesting trolley and automobile 
 trips. One of these favorite rides between St. Paul and Minneapolis 
 is by way of Fort Snelling and Minnehaha Falls and Park. His- 
 toric Old Fort Snelling, in the early days of Minnesota, was the 
 theater of many a stirring scene when the white and red man were 
 struggling for supremacy. It is beautifully situated on the high, 
 rocky cliffs at the junction of the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers 
 in the Government reservation of over two thousand three hundred 
 acres, and from this commanding position the beauty of the land- 
 scape, as far as the eye can reach, is indescribable. It is now one 
 of the most important military posts and there are seldom less than 
 fifteen hundred soldiers in garrison. 
 
 From Fort Snelling it is but a short ride to Minnehaha Falls and 
 Park. These falls are immortalized by Longfellow in "Hiawatha." 
 No cascade has ever been more celebrated in poetry and none claims 
 a surer charm for the visitor. The falls are about forty feet high, 
 and the whole region about them has been made accessible by rustic 
 paths and bridges. 
 
 Anoka, St. Cloud and Little Falls are prosperous manufacturing 
 towns on the Mississippi river, and from the latter point a branch 
 line leads westward. 
 
 Duiuth-Superior : The "Twin Ports" 
 
 Duluth-Superior, at the western extremity of Lake Superior, are 
 wonderfully interesting cities. At the head of Great Lakes naviga- 
 tion and in a region noted for its iron ore and grain and flour pro- 
 duction, these cities already form the third largest port in the 
 world. The splendid harbor has forty-nine miles of water front, 
 grain elevators have a storage capacity of 35,000,000 bushels of 
 grain ; coal docks will store 6.000,000 tons of coal, and from the 
 
THE GREAT HARBOR OF DULUTH, MINNESOTA. SUPERIOR, WISCONSIN, IN THE DISTANCE. 
 
 enormous ore docks are shipped 18,000,000 or 20,000,000 tons of 
 ore annually. Large ship-building plants are located here, and on 
 the St. Louis river, a short distance above the harbor, the U. S. 
 Steel Corporation is erecting a $10,000,000 steel plant. 
 
 The cities are admirably built, are modern in every respect, and 
 rapidly growing. The aerial bridge at the harbor mouth and the 
 serpentine boulevard along the Duluth Heights are objects of inter- 
 est. Northern Pacific train service between the "Twin Ports," and 
 the "Twin Cities" is of the best three times daily and double 
 daily service is maintained between Duluth-Superior and Staples, 
 the point where the lines from St. Paul and from Duluth merge into 
 the through route to the Coast. 
 
 At Staples, also, branch line service for Fergus Falls, and a rich 
 section thereabout, diverges, the branch leaving the main line at 
 Wadena. 
 
 North Dakota Wheat Farms 
 
 Passing through the beautiful Lake Park region, with Perham, 
 Frazee and Detroit as outing centers, we soon reach the Red River 
 Valley. This great valley, from twenty-five to seventy miles wide, 
 and more than three hundred miles long, was once the bed of a 
 vast postglacial lake, to which scientific men have given the name 
 Lake Agassiz. The lake existed for more than a thousand years, 
 was almost seven hundred miles in length, and covered an area 
 larger than Lakes Ontario, Erie, Huron, Michigan, and Superior 
 combined. As there are almost no fences to be seen, the whole val- 
 ley appears as one vast wheat field as far as the eye can range ; in 
 the early summer a sea of waving green, in later summer an ocean 
 of mottled gold, in harvest time an army of reaping machines ex- 
 tending to the horizon. The valley is about half and half in Min- 
 nesota and North Dakota, the Red River being the dividing line 
 between the states. This valley produces on an average from forty 
 to sixty million bushels of wheat yearly, besides much flax, corn 
 and other cereals. This vast grain section is traversed by a line of 
 the Northern Pacific from Manitoba Junction to Winnipeg, Mani- 
 toba, which passes through the important cities of Crookston, Minn., 
 and Grand Forks, Grafton, Drayton and Pembina, N. D. 
 
 Fargo, on the main line, is one of the principal cities of North 
 Dakota, and a branch line extends therefrom southwest across a 
 rich prairie region. From Casselton another line diverges south- 
 westward. Just before reaching Casselton the trains pass through 
 the large Dalrymple wheat farm of 21,000 acres. Valley City is a 
 
 good town on the Sheyenne river, charmingly located. From San- 
 born a branch line reaches northward. Jamestown, in the James 
 River Valley, has branch lines extending both North and South, 
 traversing the rich valley, and from McKenzie, near Bismarck, a 
 line extends southward. 
 
 Crossing the Missouri river between Bismarck, the capital, and 
 Mandan, on a mammoth'steel bridge standing fifty feet above the 
 high water mark, we pass through a good grazing and agricultural 
 country that is very rapidly being settled and developed. From 
 Mandan branch lines extend North and South along the Missouri 
 River and up the Cannon Ball River, opening up new territory of 
 great agricultural value. Important towns of promising future 
 on the North line are Sanger and Stanton, and on the South, or 
 Cannon Ball line, Gwyther, Flasher, Carson, Elgin, New Leip- 
 zig, and Mott. The latter is the county seat of Hettinger County, 
 has a population of several hundred, a paper, bank, hotels and is 
 a growing and vigorous young town with excellent prospects. 
 
 New Salem, Glenullin, Hebron, Richardton, Gladstone, Dickin- 
 son, Belfield. Medora. Sentinel Butte, and Beach are towns and 
 shipping points, of importance in western North Dakota. Their 
 phenomenal growth attests the productiveness of the country and 
 the increase of industrial activity of this rich territory. 
 
 Valuable Dry Farming Lands 
 
 Estimates show that west of the Missouri River there are in 
 excess of two hundred million acres of unoccupied dry land 
 which never can be irrigated, owing to topographical conditions and 
 lack of water supply. It is claimed that most or all of this acreage 
 can be farmed successfully under the methods of moisture conserva- 
 tion and cultivation enforced by so-called dry-farming. It has 
 been proved that with an annual rainfall of only seven and one- 
 half inches, profitable crops may be raised by dry farming. At a 
 conservative estimate these two hundred million acres ol arid lands 
 should be capable of supporting one million families, or five million 
 people. 
 
 Picturesque Pyramid Park 
 
 At Medora we are in the heart of the famous Pyramid Park. 
 Petrified tree stumps dot the landscape and an army of spires, 
 bluffs, hills, buttes, and castled cliffs rise from the plain, garbed in 
 striking colors that attract the eye. Reds and pinks are the pre- 
 dominant colors, but coal blacks, grays and drabs are blended with 
 
NORTHERN PACIFIC SHOPS AND SANATORIUM AT BRAINERD, MINN. 
 
 them, causing fantastic effects. These hills, washed by the eternal 
 rains, have been eroded into cones, pyramids, and squares, which 
 are circumscribed by rugged, twisting ravines, gouged out by the 
 torrential floods. Ancient coal beds have burned out, or in places 
 are still burning. These plains and draws are covered with a most 
 succulent grass that furnishes feed for thousands of cattle, and the 
 gulches provide them with shelter. 
 
 Montana Irrigation and Reclamation 
 
 Crossing into Montana, Wibaux and the rich grain section of 
 the Golden Valley, of which Beach is the center, are reached. For- 
 merly a valuable stock range, this plateau-like locality is now rap- 
 idly developing into a good grain region. 
 
 Until recently mining and stock-raising were the chief indus- 
 tries of Montana. Now, however, there are many fertile valleys 
 where agriculture and fruit raising are showing marked success. 
 With the advent of irrigation Montana entered upon a new era. 
 Today various enterprises are being pushed with vigor and new 
 work is being undertaken, both by the United States Government 
 and by private capital. The largest Government projects are the 
 Lower Yellowstone, north of Glendive, and the Huntley Project, 
 near Billings, both covering rich lands of the Yellowstone Valley, 
 and the Flathead Project in the Flathead Valley. In these Recla- 
 mation projects the government maintains free demonstration farms 
 for the benefit of settlers. 
 
 At Glendive, Mont., we enter the Yellowstone Valley. 
 
 This little city has taken on an increased importance recently. 
 The Government's Lower Yellowstone Reclamation Project, prac- 
 tically completed in 1911, lies in the valley just below Glendive, 
 and 67,000 acres of land are in process of reclamation. The North- 
 ern Pacific has recently built a branch line from Glendive through 
 these lands. New towns on this line are : Stipek, Intake, Savage, 
 Crane, Sidney, all of which have promise of large growth and in- 
 dustrial development. , 
 
 At Terry, east of Miles City, the country is rapidly being settled 
 
 up, and the town is growing accordingly, and is a good example of 
 what country settlement does for a well located town or city. 
 
 Miles City and Fort Keogh, about eighty miles west of Glendive, 
 at the mouth of Tongue River, are in the heart of the old cattle and 
 sheep country, which is now being rapidly changed into an agri- 
 cultural one by dry farming and irrigation. Miles City is named 
 after General Miles, the great Indian fighter, and is the county 
 seat of Custer County. 
 
 The Tongue River Canal, near Miles City, was one of the first 
 irrigation enterprises in Eastern Montana. It is about thirty miles 
 in length, and will irrigate twelve thousand five hundred acres.

 Values of lands served by this canal range from twenty-five to one 
 hundred dollars an acre, with an annual maintenance charge for 
 water that varies according to the nature of the crops under culti- 
 vation, but which, in all cases, is very low indeed. The possibilities 
 of Irrigation and Dry Farming combined in Montana are so vast 
 as to be difficult of comprehension. In round figures the Yellow- 
 stone River, for a distance of four hundred miles, runs through a 
 country which needs but the application of water under irrigation, 
 or the conservation methods of dry farming to render it one of the 
 most fertile sections in the country. Taking also into account the 
 valleys along the tributaries of this stream, which are capable of 
 cultivation either by irrigation or dry farming, it is safe to figure 
 in round numbers, a stretch of country four hundred miles in 
 length by twenty miles in width, or approximately five million acres. 
 According to good authority and including the Government Recla- 
 mation projects, it is safe to say there are in excess of 400.000 acres 
 of land now under irrigation canals in Yellowstone Valley. An 
 enormous acreage is also being brought under cultivation by dry 
 farming methods. The principal crops raised are alfalfa, oats, 
 corn, potatoes and wheat. 
 
 The Northern Pacific Railway, in connection with the Montana 
 Experiment Station, is engaged in experimental work for the bene- 
 fit of settlers, on dry farming lands at the following! points in 
 Northern Pacific territory : Wibaux, Circle, Terry, Huntley, 
 Clyde Park, Twin Bridges, Helena, Drummond, Ronan. 
 
 The main line of the Northern Pacific follows the Yellowstone 
 River from Glendive to Livingston, a distance of over three hun- 
 dred and forty miles, affording the traveler one of the finest scenic 
 river routes in the country. 
 
 Huntley Reclamation Project 
 
 The Huntley Reclamation Project, near Billings, in the heart of 
 the Yellowstone Valley, was thrown open for settlement in 1907. 
 
 This government canal and its laterals irrigate about thirty-five 
 thousand acres of land, formerly a part of the Crow Indian Reser- 
 vation. The largest amount of land which one individual can take 
 up is one hundred and sixty acres, and actual residence and im- 
 provement are required from those thus acquiring land from the 
 government. The general plan adopted by the government in de- 
 
 termining the proper charge to the settler for taking up reclaimed 
 land, is to divide the cost of the canal by the number of acres re- 
 claimed, and then charge the settlers with this amount, dividing it 
 into ten equal annual payments, with no interest charge. As a gen- 
 eral rule the expense is anywhere from twenty to forty dollars an 
 acre. In the case of these Huntley lands the cost is $30.00 an 
 acre, with an added charge of four dollars an acre to cover the 
 amount paid to the Indians for their land. The payment of this 
 $4.00 is divided as follows : one dollar an acre, payable when entry 
 is made, and the remainder in four annual payments of seventy-five 
 cents an acre, the first payment being due the second year after 
 entry. The maintenance fee is about 60 cents an acre yearly. The 
 entry and final proof fees are purely nominal. Potatoes, sugar 
 beets, other vegetables, small fruits, -alfalfa and grain are grown 
 with great success on the Huntley project lands. 
 
 The town of Huntley, founded in 1907, at the time these lands 
 were opened for settlement, already has a population of about three 
 hundred. The Custer Battlefield, on the banks of the Little Big 
 Horn river, where General Custer fought his last battle, June 25, 
 1876, and was completely routed by the Sioux and other Indians, 
 is on the Crow Reservation, about sixty miles south from Huntley, 
 and can be reached by a side trip on the Burlington Route. 
 
 Alfalfa and Sugar Beets 
 
 One of the principal crops in the Yellowstone Valley is alfalfa. 
 Three and four crops of alfalfa are raised in the same year. It 
 averages from six to eight tons an acre, and nets the farmer, on 
 an average, $5.00 a ton in the stack, or from thirty to forty 
 dollars an acre, and often even more. As the land costs not to 
 exceed fifty dollars an acre, it is evident that this is a better return 
 than eastern farmers ordinarily obtain. 
 
 The Beet Sugar industry in the Yellowstone Valley is also as- 
 suming large proportions. A $2,000,000 beet sugar plant of 1,800 
 tons daily capacity is in operation at Billings, Mont., and the acre- 
 are given to sugar beets is about 20,000 yearly. 
 
 Billings 
 
 Billings, the commercial center of the entire Yellowstone Valley, 
 is a thriving city of more than 10,000 population, located at the 
 Junction of the Northern Pacific and Burlington lines. It was 
 
founded in 1882, and was named after Frederick Billings, at one 
 time president of the Northern Pacific Railway. Billings has made 
 phenomenal strides in the last ten years, and is a surprise to the 
 average visitor expecting to see a raw pioneer town. 
 
 Montana ranks first in number of sheep raised. Everything is 
 conducted on a big scale in this great state. Billings alone ships 
 annually 8,000,000 pounds of wool, and other Yellowstone Valley 
 towns ship proportionate quantities. 
 
 A two-forked branch line southwest from Billings and Laurel 
 extends to Red Lodge, Fromberg, and Bridger. The mountains 
 about these towns are full of a good quality of bituminous coal. 
 Red Lodge is a thriving little city of nearly 5,000 population. 
 
 All the hardier fruits such as apples, pears, peaches and plums 
 are successfully raised in the irrigated districts of Montana. The 
 Mclntosh Red and Wealthy are varieties of apples particularly 
 congenial to eastern Montana soil and climate, as may be seen at 
 Fromberg and Bridger in the Clark's Fork Valley of the Yellow- 
 stone. 
 
 Mountain Scenery 
 
 The snow covered range of the Crazy Mountains is seen to the 
 north as the train approaches Big Timber and Columbus. Spring- 
 dale is the railway station for Hunter's Hot Springs, two miles 
 distant, a hot springs sanatorium well known throughout the North- 
 west. A new mission-style hotel, the "Dakota," provides modern 
 accommodations, while outdoor sports and the medicinal properties 
 of the water attract visitors from near and far. 
 
 South of the line, the Snowy Range is seen. This range extends 
 into Yellowstone Park where it becomes the Absaroka Range 
 more than fifty miles distant. Yellowstone Lake in the Park is fed 
 entirely from the springs and snow drifts of the Absaroka and 
 other sub-ranges of the Rockies. As the lake has its outlet through 
 the Yellowstone River, which latter furnishes the water supply for 
 the irrigation canals, these ranges are of particular interest to Mon- 
 tana agriculturists. From Livingston, where the river turns di- 
 rectly east and the point where tourists for Yellowstone Park leave 
 the main line, "Old Baldy," a prominent peak of the Snowy range, 
 is seen. 
 
 Yellowstone Park 
 
 The Yellowstone Park line extends south from Livingston to 
 Gardiner, the northern and original entrance, at the northern 
 boundary of the Park, the most renowned pleasure ground in the 
 world. The Park is fully described and pictured in Northern Pa- 
 cific literature to be had for the asking (see page 18). 
 
 One of the finest peaks in the Rocky Mountains is Emigrant 
 Peak, on the Park line, almost 11,000 feet high, rugged and snow- 
 capped. 
 
 North from Livingston lies the rich Shields River Valley, re- 
 cently opened by a new line of the Northern Pacific extending up 
 the valley through Chadbourn, Clyde Park and Shields to Wilsall. 
 
 The Gallatin Valley 
 
 The mountains are first crossed by the Northern Pacific between 
 Livingston and Bozeman at the very point where Lewis and Clark 
 crossed them, in 1806, when returning from the mouth of the Co- 
 lumbia river. Winding down through Rocky Canyon, the Gallatin 
 Valley 'is reached at Bozeman. 
 
 Bozeman is a progressive city, as is to be expected of a place so 
 ideally situated. It is the seat of the Montana Agricultural College 
 and Experiment Station, and is the central point of a very large 
 and rich mountain-walled valley, where grains and grasses grow 
 luxuriantly. Belgrade and Manhattan are other important ship- 
 ping points. The surrounding mountains, many of which are snow- 
 clad the year around, add greatly to the beauty of the scene. There 
 are several large irrigation canals in this valley. It is famous for 
 its fine Saale barley, which yields very abundantly, and the prod- 
 uct is of the finest quality. On the bench lands above the irriga- 
 tion canals, "dry farming" is successfully carried on, wheat yield- 
 ing from fifteen to forty bushels an acre. 
 
 In the lower part of the Gallatin Valley there are large deposits 
 of raw cement. 
 
 Some of the finest scenery in Montana is found in the mountains 
 around Bozeman. For those desiring to camp out during the sum- 
 mer for health and pleasure, and in a region where hunting and 
 fishing are abundant, no better locality can be found, taking Boze-

 man as a center. The Commercial club at Bozeman will furnish 
 definite information on request. 
 
 Leaving the Gallatin Valley at Logan, there is a choice of routes, 
 via Helena and the Missouri, or Butte and the Jefferson, rivers. 
 
 No one familiar with the Missouri River in its most eastern 
 courses would recognize the beautiful stream seen in Montana un- 
 der this name as the same one. 
 
 Helena 
 
 Helena is the capital of Montana and the County Seat of Lewis 
 and Clark county. It is one of the natural distributing and busi- 
 ness centers of the state. The city has some fine public buildings, 
 including the Capitol, Federal buildings, Court House, Public Li- 
 brary, Churches, Schools and Hospitals. Many of the business 
 men, stockmen, wool growers and miners whose varied interests 
 are in other parts of the state, make their homes here. There is 
 considerable manufacturing, and the city is the center of one of 
 the richest gold producing districts in the West. 
 
 Within a radius of twenty miles of Helena there is a large num- 
 ber of profitable gold producing mines. Hydraulic mining is one 
 of the easiest and most protfiable ways of extracting gold, and it 
 has been a most important factor in the development of Montana. 
 
 From Helena, Northern Pacific branch lines reach these mining 
 centers. 
 
 In the Rockies 
 
 The scenery in the Rockies between Logan and Butte is not sur- 
 passed by that of any mountain scenery in the country. The North- 
 ern Pacific follows the Jefferson River, named by Lewis and Clark 
 in 1805 for President Jefferson. At Pipestone Springs, just at 
 the foot of the mountains on the easterfl side, are some very popu- 
 lar hot springs, affording delightful baths. 
 
 Between Logan and Butte, branch lines penetrate the rich mining 
 sections and fertile agricultural valleys of the Jefferson and Beaver- 
 head rivers and of other streams lying to the southward of the main 
 line. 
 
 A view of the Rocky Mountains from the summit of the 
 range always forms an interesting picture. The contrast between 
 the warm, cultivated valleys and the high, scantily timbered peaks 
 where the snows lie in secluded corners and ravines is very striking. 
 
 A characteristic mountain scene near Butte, is that of the Silver 
 Bow Valley. The valley close to the mountains is decidedly pic- 
 turesque, particularly as seen from Northern Pacific trains round- 
 ing the mountains into Butte.

 Butte and Anaconda 
 
 Butte and Anaconda, Montana, may properly be called the Hub 
 of the Copper Industry. They are situated on the west slope of 
 the main range of the Rocky Mountains, and Butte is the most pop- 
 ulous city in Montana, having a population of about 40,000. Within 
 a radius of one and one-half miles from the Court House of Butte 
 is produced more copper ore than in any other district in the world. 
 The city produces 17 per cent of the entire copper output of the 
 world. Besides supplying ore for the smelters located in Butte 
 and Anaconda, the ore from Butte mines is shipped to smelters at 
 other points. Every day fifteen thousand tons of ore are hoisted 
 from beneath the surface of the city. Butte is a modern city in 
 every respect. There are over ten thousand miners and the mini- 
 mum wage is $3.75 a day. The pay-roll of the corporations alone 
 amounts to about $1,000,000 a month, much of which is kept in 
 circulation in Butte, as the American miner lives well. 
 
 Reached from Butte are the Boulder Hot Springs, near Boulder, 
 Mont. These well known springs have recently been greatly en- 
 larged and improved at a very heavy expenditure and are now in 
 a class with similar eastern resorts. 
 
 The Bitter Root Valley 
 
 The ride from either Helena or Butte, to Missoula, about a hun- 
 dred and twenty miles west, is one long to be remembered. The 
 two lines, diverging at Logan, again converge at Garrison, and from 
 that point follow the Hellgate River and Canyon for a distance of 
 about seventy miles, over a splendid stretch of double-track, to 
 Missoula. The ride through this canyon is one of the most inter- 
 esting to be found in the Rockies. From Missoula, the seat of 
 the State University, the well known Bitter Root Valley stretches 
 southward for a hundred miles, protected on the west by the Bitter 
 Root Range of the Rockies. The valley is equally adapted to 
 fruit raising, diversified farming, stock raising, dairying. At least 
 seventy thousand acres are under cultivation through irrigation, 
 the canals being already completed or nearing completion. The 
 valley is traversed by a branch line of the Northern Pacific ex- 
 tending through Florence, Stevensville, Victor and Hamilton to 
 Darby, a distance of 64 miles. The irrigated orchard tracts of 
 the Bitter Root Valley are being rapidly taken up and developed 
 by a most excellent class of people, largely from the Eastern Middle 
 West. 
 
 Bitter Root Valley apples, the Mclntosh Red, Jonathan, Gano, 
 Wagener, etc., are known the country over and are shipped in large 
 quantities to the eastern and other markets annually. Cauliflower 
 
and celery of particular excellence are grown in this valley of 
 varied fruit, grain and vegetable products. 
 
 A Northern Pacific line follows down the Missoula River from 
 Missoula and DeSmet to Paradise via St. Regis, where it again re- 
 joins the main line over the mountains. A branch from this line 
 extends to Wallace and Burke in the rich Coeur d'Alene mining 
 region. 
 
 The Flathead Country 
 
 The Flathead Indian Reservation was thrown open to settlement 
 during the summer of 1909. The reservation embraced about a 
 million and a half acres, fairly well divided into agricultural and 
 mountainous land. Nearly three thousand 80-acre homesteads were 
 reserved for the Indians, who naturally had first choice, and who 
 have farmed for many years. There remained, however, a large 
 number of desirable homesteads open to settlers. The lands were 
 disposed of by drawing, the principal registration point being Mis- 
 soula, which is immediately south oi the reservation and the 
 metropolis of Western Montana. 
 
 The Flatheads have always been friendly to the whites and on 
 terms of intimacy with them. 
 
 Portions of the Flathead reservation are specially adapted to 
 stock raising, and cattle raising is destined to become one of the 
 chief sources of revenue. 
 
 The Mission Range of the Rockies forms the eastern boundary 
 of the Flathead Reservation, lying between Missoula and Flathead 
 Lake. In its fastnesses lie great reservoirs of water for irrigation 
 in the form of deep snow banks. There are waterfalls in the moun- 
 tains 2,000 feet high and of surpassing grandeur. 
 
 The Mission Range is said to be the finest sub-range in the 
 United States, and this region is claimed to equal, if not excel, 
 Switzerland in the wild grandeur of its mountain scenery. The 
 Government has recently established a National Bison range on the 
 southern border of the reservation near Ravalli on the Northern 
 Pacific main line. The railway skirts this bison reserve for sev- 
 eral miles. 
 
 On the main line of the railway south of the Flathead Reserva- 
 tion is the valley of Horse Plains, and the town of Plains. The 
 Horse Plains is a valley, mild and pleasing in character, and of 
 such fine grazing capacity that it was formerly used by the Indians 
 
 as a wintering place for their horses. * It is how developing into a 
 good fruit region. 
 
 Panhandle of Idaho 
 
 From Butte, Mont., to Hope, Idaho, except where the line crosses 
 the mountains, the Northern Pacific follows a stream, which, under 
 the names of Silver Bow, Deer Lodge, Hell Gate, Missoula, Clark 
 Fork of the Columbia and Pend d'Oreille rivers, is one and the 
 same stream from the mountains to the Columbia River. The route 
 of the Northern Pacific is wholly between mountain ranges in 
 Northern Montana and in Idaho, with a beautiful stream or lake 
 alongside the track nearly all the way. The lateral mountain 
 streams swarm with trout, and big game is found in the hills. 
 
 Approaching the Idaho line the Cabinet Mountains are seen to 
 the north, and to the south are the Coeur d'Alene Mountains, which, 
 with the Bitter Root Range, form the boundary between Montana 
 and Idaho. 
 
 The Clark Fork of the Columbia, which the train follows for 
 mile after mile, is a large and beautiful stream. It was named by 
 Lewis and Clark, in 1805, Clark's River, the name being applied 
 at the headwaters of the Bitter Root River, which stream should 
 have retained the name. 
 
 The point where the Clark Fork of the Columbia River forces 
 its passage through the Cabinet Range, is called Cabinet Gorge. 
 The Gorge, on the north side of the track, is a wild, rocky place, 
 and is visible from the train. 
 
 One of the most beautiful lakes in the western country is reached 
 at Hope and Sand Point, Idaho. It is Lake Pend d'Oreille (pro- 
 nounced Pondoray), surrounded by mountains which provide it 
 with scenery of a high order, and there are numerous steamers and 
 launches that ply its waters. It was named by the French explor- 
 ers from its shape, which resembles that of the human ear. The 
 lake is forty-five miles long, from two to twenty miles in width, is 
 very deep and has many fine lake trout to tempt the angler. The 
 road crosses the upper arm of the lake on a concrete bridge 4,769 
 feet long. 
 
 Beyond Lake Pend d'Oreille the railway winds through a tim- 
 bered country, passing Cocolalla Lake, ensconced among the moun-

 .Spokane The Inland Empire 
 
 The city is named from three separate water falls, the water 
 power of which is 33,000 H. P., only about one-half of which is 
 used at present. It was formerly known as Spokane Falls. The 
 power generated is used for Spokane's trolley railway system, for 
 lighting and manufacturing purposes, and it is even used in the 
 Coeur d'Alene mining district forty miles southeast of the city. 
 Spokane, population in 1910, 104,000, is 'the metropolis and com- 
 mercial center of the Inland Empire, and railways and trolley lines 
 penetrate the "empire" in all directions. It is a city of strikingly 
 beautiful homes and substantial business blocks. The fruit crop of 
 Spokane County is $3,000,000 annually. Lumber products in the 
 Spokane region amount to millions of dollars, yearly, as does also 
 the mineral production. Bank clearings in 1912 were $225,000,000; 
 special improvements sewers, paving, etc. made, $1,445,000; net 
 earnings of mines in Spokane country, 1912, were almost $5,400,- 
 000. 
 
 Eastern Washington and the Pan Handle of Northern Idaho 
 possess wonderful fertility and depth of soil, mild winters and mod- 
 erate summer temperatures. Diversified farming has made great 
 progress in this region. Fruit raising and dairying are advancing 
 with rapidity, and truck gardening is becoming quite general in the 
 vicinity of Spokane. Not all of the ground needs irrigation. Much 
 of the country about Spokane may be, and is, farmed by ordinary 
 methods with only the natural rainfall. 
 
 The Columbia River Basin, which lies between the Bitter Root 
 and Cascade mountains is known as the "Inland Empire." It com- 
 
 prises a part of Idaho, Eastern Washington, and Eastern Oregon, 
 and is drained by the Columbia River and its tributaries. It equals, 
 in area, all the New England States and New York, Pennsylvania, 
 New Jersey and Maryland. It is, perhaps, unsurpassed by any 
 similar section in variety and richness of resources. The rolling 
 hills and mountains are formed of decomposed lava, caused by vol- 
 canic flows, and the erosion of ages has worked marvelous changes 
 on the surface of the land, giving to the mountains strange and 
 . beautiful forms. The two greatest of these elevations constitute 
 the Bitter Root and Cascade ranges. The great interior basin ar- 
 rested the rains and rivers of generations, until it became a vast in- 
 terior sea. In time the region was drained of its waters, and the 
 sea bottom became an immense and fertile valley, draining into 
 the ocean through the Spokane, Snake, and Columbia rivers. 
 
 The foundation of granitic sand and basaltic dust was covered 
 by rich alluvium, forming a soil similar in many respects to that 
 of the Nile, which has preserved its fertility through thousands 
 of years. Wild grasses and vegetable matter sprang up, flourished, 
 and decayed, through countless ages, forming a soil so prolific that 
 today it yields the largest crops of grain and fruit, for its area, 
 in the world. It is of a rich, dark brown, free from alkali and 
 injurious salts. 
 
 Two very important sections of this great grain region are the 
 "Big Bend," west, and the "Palouse Country," south, of Spokane. 
 
 While nature was thus enriching the valleys, giant forests were 
 likewise growing, decaying and growing again on the mountains, 
 until today they cover millions of acres containing billions of feet 
 of the finest timber in the world. 
 
A MAMMOTH FIELD OF RHUBARB IN THE WALLA WALLA VALLEY, 
 WASHINGTON. 
 
 This is also a rich mineral belt. Large and valuable mineral 
 "deposits are found within its boundaries. 
 
 The Inland Empire produces annually over fifty million bushels 
 of wheat ; the finest apples in the world ; peaches, prunes, apricots, 
 nectarines, grapes, berries, melons, all grow to perfection ; it enjoys 
 the winters of the Southland and summers of the North ; standing 
 timber is estimated at two billion feet or more ; the production of 
 gold, silver, lead, copper, zinc, antimony, aluminum, platinum, mo- 
 lybdenum, mica, marble, granite and coal mines run into millions 
 of dollars annually. 
 
 Walla Walla Valley 
 
 The Walla Walla country lies in the southern angle formed by 
 the Snake and Columbia rivers. The country is a succession of 
 plains and rolling hills of extremely fertile soil. The climate is 
 dry, warm, and very healthful. The Blue Mountains form the 
 southeastern boundary of the region, arid add to its scenic char- 
 acter. Numerous streams drain and water the land. The Walla 
 Walla region has long been known for its tremendous yields of 
 grain. Large quantities of Walla Walla wheat are exported around 
 "the Horn" to European ports. In the irrigated sections fruit is 
 rapidly becoming the predominant crop, many hundreds of car 
 loads being shipped out each year. Apples, peaches, cherries, 
 prunes, grapes, and berries grow to perfection under small land 
 holdings and intensive cultivation. Walla Walla fruit is on a par 
 with that of other irrigated valleys. Vegetables grow luxuriantly, 
 and Walla Walla asparagus, onions, potatoes, celery, and cabbage 
 have "gilt edge" reputations. Asparagus is of particularly fine 
 quality. 
 
 Walla Walla is a vigorous, progressive college and business city. 
 It is the seat of Whitman college, a very prosperous institution. 
 Other important towns are Dayton and Waitsburg. 
 
 The Northern Pacific connects these cities directly with Spokane, 
 Seattle, Tacoma and Portland, and also with the east. 
 
 Lewiston-Clarkston-Clearwater Country 
 
 The Clearwater Country, lying South of the Palouse Country, 
 embraces about fifteen million acres in the Northeastern corner of 
 Oregon, Southeastern Washington, and Central Idaho. It is 
 drained by the Snake, Clearwater, Grande Ronde, and Salmon riv- 
 ers, and other tributaries of the greater Columbia. The country is 
 a series of high plateaus cut by deep canyons, through which run 
 the rivers. The bottom lands in the river valleys grow the choicest 
 of fruits under irrigation, as also do many of the bench lands. 
 
 The Nez Perce and Camas prairies in this section grow wonder- 
 ful crops of grass and grain. Vollmer, Cottonwood, Grangeville, 
 Oro Fino, Kamiah and Stites are growing towns. 
 
 The towns of Lewiston, Idaho, and Clarkston, Washington, sepa- 
 rated only by the Snake River, are known as the Twin Gateway 
 cities. They are situated at the confluence of the Snake and Clear- 
 water rivers, and together they constitute a natural commercial 
 center. The opening of the Nez Perce Indian Reservation, some 
 years ago, and the operations of large irrigation companies have 
 further combined to enhance the value of this location. The Lewis- 
 ton-Clarkston district is rapidly coming to the front as one of the 
 great irrigated fruit sections. Here five and ten-acre orchards pro- 
 duce so abundantly as to afford independent incomes. Grapes of 
 the European sorts grow luxuriantly, melons and small fruits grow 
 to perfection. Lewiston, Idaho, has all modern conveniences, ex- 
 cellent rail and water transportation, a fine State Normal School, 
 and it is the distributing point for a large and productive area. 
 Over twenty million bushels of wheat are grown in the tributary 
 country. 
 
 Clarkston, in Washington, is connected with Lewiston by a steel 
 bridge across the Snake River. There are numerous fine residences 
 and handsome cottages. No stores or shops are allowed on the 
 residence streets. These thriving places are only about 750 feet 
 above the sea level, insuring a mild and delightful climate the 
 year around. 
 
 Holders of tickets reading via the Northern Pacific Railway 
 between Billings, Mont., or points east, and North Yakima, Wash., 
 or Fallbridge, Wash., and points west, may go from Spokane via 
 Lewiston to Pasco or vice versa, without additional cost, as per 
 tables of service shown in time table folder. Westbound this 
 change of route can be made at Spokane city office or depot, and 
 eastbound at Pasco, Wash. 
 
 The Yakima and Kittitas Valleys 
 Perfected Irrigation 
 
 Irrigation in Washington is long past the experimental stage. 
 In the Yakima and Kittitas valleys, on the eastern slope of the 
 Cascade Range, the wonders of irrigation are most fully displayed. 
 The valleys lie in the center of the State, west of the Columbia 
 River, with North Yakima as the chief city of the Yakima, and El- 
 lensburg as the chief city of the Kittitas. Here are hundreds of 
 highly developed farms, averaging from ten to forty acres, each 
 producing abundance of garden products, fruit of every character, 
 alfalfa, live stock and hops.

$3,600 WAS CLEARED IN ONE SEASON FROM 700 OF THESE 
 WASHINGTON HOGS. 
 
 Land in the valleys is an extremely valuable commodity. Its 
 value is based largely upon the returns it makes to its owners. 
 Profits from fruit lands range from three hundred to one thousand 
 dollars an acre, as a common thing, and net returns far in excess 
 of these figures are not uncommon among the better class of or- 
 chardists. 
 
 Homes in the Yakima Valley are but a few rods apart. They 
 are well and luxuriantly furnished. Those living here enjoy all 
 modern conveniences in one of the most genial climates in the 
 world. 
 
 Schools and churches are scattered thickly through the communi- 
 ty. The Yakima farmer enjoys the precious boon which the or- 
 dinary farmer is in most cases deprived of, namely, the close com- 
 panionship of his fellowmen. This feature of life in this section 
 is one of its great attractions. It renders impossible the usual de- 
 pressing isolation and monotony of farm life in other sections. 
 iwhere the population to the square mile is about one to ten as com- 
 , pared with this part of Washington. 
 
 The city of North Yakima is a prosperous one. Electric street 
 cars hum to and fro. A new and handsome station attests the im- 
 portance of North Yakima as a Northern Pacific point. Surround- 
 ing the city is a very thickly settled farming community, much of 
 which is practically within the city itself. The city is an important 
 distributing point; has a large lumber mill, canning and box fac- 
 tories, a flour mill, foundries, artificial ice and cold storage plant, 
 an eighty thousand dollar Y. M. C. A. building, $125,000 court 
 house, a hospital and sanitarium, in addition to numerous smaller 
 industries, several fine churches and many very fine residences, all 
 the result of the valuable products of the soil. 
 
 West from the main Yakima Valley the railway follows the 
 Yakima Canyon. Between the canyon and the mountains it passes 
 through the beautiful Kittitas Valley, noted as a fine dairy, alfalfa 
 and hay region, and fast developing into a splendid fruit section. 
 The Kittitas, the upper continuation of the Yakima Valley, par- 
 takes of its fine character of climate and soil. Ellensburg is the 
 center and "Capital" of the Kittitas Valley. It is a very progres- 
 sive city, having recently completed extensive improvements in the 
 way of electric street lighting and asphalt paving in the business 
 section. It has a State Normal School and a fine High School 
 building, besides several graded schools. The Northern Pacific 
 station recently finished forms an attractive addition to a city al- 
 ready noticeable for its numerous modern business buildings and 
 its beautiful homes. 
 
 The irrigation farmer is independent of the weather, and he has 
 
 "BLOSSOM" TIME ON A NORTHWESTERN FRUIT FARM. 
 
 to face no crop failures in the Yakima-Kittitas valleys. There are 
 no extremes of heat and cold. The hot period in the summer lasts 
 not to exceed two or three weeks, and the nights are always cool. 
 Cool winds blow from the snow- and pine-clad mountains, making 
 the summer delightful to the visitor, and healthful as well. 
 
 All root crops grow to perfection here. Yakima and Kittitas po- 
 tatoes have a reputation of their own, bring the highest market 
 prices, and are more profitable than wheat or oats, a common yield 
 being six hundred bushels to the acre. 
 
 Hops can be produced at a cost of from seven to nine cents a 
 pound, and they bring from eight to thirty cents a pound, de- 
 pending on the market. One acre produces fifteen hundred to two 
 thousand pounds. 
 
 Dairying is extensively followed on the irrigated lands in the 
 Yakima and Kittitas valleys. The farmers find that timothy, clo- 
 ver, alfalfa and grain hay transformed into butter or cream and 
 marketed in Spokane and the Puget Sound cities and Alaska, are 
 extremely profitable. 
 
 Poultry raising, too, is a most profitable business in all sections 
 of the northwestern country, and is followed with great success 
 by both the older and younger generations in the valleys. Here 
 again, the large cities of Spokane, Tacoma, Seattle, Portland and 
 the mining camps of the region, and Alaska, afford good and stable 
 markets. 
 
 Fruit, however, in its many varieties, is the chief and most val- 
 uable product of the Yakima-Kittitas region. The smaller fruits 
 are very profitable under irrigation, yielding from one hundred 
 and fifty to three hundred and even five hundred dollars an acre. 
 The strawberries are of unusual size and very delicious. They 
 yield, sometimes, prodigiously and are often raised between the 
 rows of trees before the orchard comes into bearing. 
 
 This is an ideal grape country, the European varieties Flame 
 Tokay, etc., doing well in many localities. Grapes sell at from five 
 to fifteen cents a pound, and yield from $200 to $800 an acre in 
 value. 
 
 Cherries, pears, and peaches all produce abundantly and bring 
 in from $100 to $1,000 an acre. 
 
 Apples are the strong feature of the Yakima-Kittitas country. 
 While fruit orchards in the East and Middle West have steadily 
 been growing less productive, the orchards in the Northwest, and 
 particularly the apple orchards, excel in production. The North- 
 west produces the finest specimens of Spitzenbergs, Newtown Pip- 
 pins, Rome Beauties, Baldwins, Winesaps, Jonathans, Mclntosh 
 Reds, Delicious, Grimes Golden, Winter Bananas and Ben Davis.

TACOMA. 
 
 They are shipped to all the populous centers of the East, to Europe, 
 Australia, and the Orient. 
 
 The Cascade Range is a grand stretch of mountains, black with 
 timber from the bottoms of the deep, precipitous gulches to the 
 utmost limits of the divides and peaks. The railway crossing is 
 made through the Stampede Tunnel, after which the train winds 
 along the mountain sides and down the beautiful canyon of the 
 Green River to tidewater at Seattle and Tacoma. 
 
 Seattle 
 
 Seattle is growing at a phenomenal rate and its population, in 
 1910, was nearly 240,000. It is the gateway to the Orient and 
 practically controls the Alaskan trade, which amounts to millions 
 of dollars annually. 
 
 Seattle's commercial growth has been remarkable. It has an 
 enormous export and import business, its storage capacity on the 
 water front exceeding a million tons. 
 
 Seattle is situated on Elliott Bay of Puget Sound, and has one 
 of the finest harbors on the Pacific Coast. To the West, across 
 the Sound, the Olympic Range shows its snow-capped peaks, and 
 Mount Rainier (Tacoma), the King of the Cascades, is seen in the 
 
 South. Puget Sound and Its Cities 
 
 Puget Sound, beautiful at all times, is one of the most attractive 
 bodies of water in the world, hemmed in as it is by lofty, snow- 
 capped mountains. Many delightful side trips can be made from 
 
 SPOKANE. 
 
 Seattle and Tacoma, among them trips to Everett, Bellingham, Vic- 
 toria, Vancouver, Port Townsend, Port Angeles and Lake Crescent, 
 Bremerton, the seat of the United States Naval Depot on the 
 Northwest Coast, and Olympia, the "Pearl of Puget Sound" and 
 the state capital, at the extreme southern end of Puget Sound and 
 noted for its fine native oysters. 
 
 Everett, easily reached by rail or steamer from all parts of 
 the Sound, is a large and growing city. It has a smelter, paper 
 mill, and important wood working plants. It has a fine harbor 
 near the mouth of the Snohomish River and is a sub-port of entry 
 for the Puget Sound country. 
 
 Bellingham is situated on Bellingham Bay, is growing rapidly 
 and is an important railway center. It has one of the best har- 
 bors on the Sound and is engaged in a large and varied manufac- 
 turing business. There are big saw mills here and a great tin can 
 
 factory. Vancouver and Victoria 
 
 Port Townsend is the seat of the Government Customs Service, 
 and Victoria and Vancouver are beautiful Canadian cities to visit. 
 Vancouver is a surprise to visitors in her air of progressiveness 
 and thrift. Her population is 160,000. Vancouver is conveniently 
 reached from Seattle, Tacoma and Puget Sound points via the 
 Northern Pacific and its connections or by steamer. Victoria is 
 reached by a few hours' steamer ride, it is the capital of British 
 Columbia, population, 40,000, ideally located at the southern ex- 
 tremity of Vancouver Island.

 spots. 
 
 Aberdeen, Hoquiam, and Cosmopolis are important lumber ship- 
 ping points in the Gray's Harbor region, and South Bend, in the 
 Willapa Harbor country, is a growing town. 
 
 Tacoma 
 
 Tacoma overlooks Commencement Bay of Puget Sound, with Mt. 
 Rainier, or Mount Tacoma, as it is called when viewed from Ta- 
 coma, forty miles distant, seemingly overtopping the city and form- 
 ing one of the most remarkable views to be found the world over. 
 Tacoma, besides being a delightfully located and beautiful city, is 
 a great exporting point. It has large coal bunkers for loading ves- 
 sels, and the warehouses along its water front are capable of hold- 
 ing over seven million bushels of wheat. Its lumber and wood- 
 working industries are many, varied, and of notable importance, 
 and its flour mills have an immense output. There is also a large 
 smelter located here. 
 
 The city, laid out in 1873 on broad and generous lines, now has 
 a population of about 85,000, and is one of the most beautiful 
 cities in the country. It is a region rich in historic and scenic 
 interest, and water and mountain resorts lie scattered in every 
 direction. 
 
 Mount Rainier 
 
 Paradise Park, on the Southern Slope of Mt. Rainier (Tacoma), 
 is in the midst of some of the most sublime scenery on the globe. 
 Mountains, falls, glaciers, canyons, cliffs, snow fields, rushing 
 streams, wide areas of living green and a most wonderful flora are 
 found. It is scarcely possible to describe the beauty, variety, and 
 absorbing interest of Paradise Park. It is a fine place for sum- 
 mer camping, or one may sojourn at the excellent hotel at Long- 
 mire Springs at the base of the mountain. 
 
 If the visitor is ambitious in the line of mountain climbing, the 
 
 ascent of the mountain, 14,363 feet high, and the finest glacial 
 peak in the United States, exclusive of Alaska, can be added to 
 the program. To climb this snow covered mountain is a feat worth 
 the efforts of mountaineers, and it is accomplished yearly by per- 
 sons from all over the country. 
 
 Paradise Park is reached via the Tacoma Eastern Railroad to 
 Ashford, thence via Government wagon road to Longmire Springs 
 and the park. The trip is easily made, also, by automobile. The 
 distance from Tacoma may be covered in a day, and there are some 
 effective bits of water and forest scenery along the route. 
 
 Alaska Excursions 
 
 From Seattle all the year round regular steamer service is main- 
 tained to Prince Rupert, Wrangel, Juneau, Treadwell, Skagway, 
 and other ports in Southeastern Alaska, via the Pacific Coast Steam- 
 ship Co.'s steamers, with sailings every six or seven days. The 
 Alaska Steamship Co.'s service via the "Southwestern Alaska 
 route" to Caribou, White Horse, Dawson, Fort Yukon, Fairbanks, 
 St. Michael and Nome, is operated twice a month. The Alaska 
 Coast Co. operates steamer service to Juneau Iwice monthly. 
 Through the summer months special excursion features are added, 
 such as a trip to Taku Glacier en route. Boarding the steamer at 
 Seattle one can make the entire round trip on the same boat, via 
 the "Inside Passage," returning to Seattle in about eleven days. 
 Round trip tickets are sold, including berths and meals. This is a 
 grand sightseeing trip. 
 
 Prince Rupert 
 
 One of the side trips from Seattle or Vancouver well worth tak- 
 ing is that to Prince Rupert, the new Pacific Coast port in Northern 
 British Columbia, the terminus of Canada's new transcontinental 
 railway, the Grand Trunk Pacific. 
 
 Prince Rupert, although only a few years old, has a popula- 
 tion of about 4,000, and its surroundings are of special interest to 
 tourists. 
 
 14 
 
Grand Trunk Pacific steamers "Prince Rupert" and "Prince 
 George," among the finest on the Pacific Coast, sail twice a week 
 from Seattle to Prince Rupert and Stewart, via Victoria and Van- 
 couver. Side trips from Prince Rupert to Queen Charlotte Islands 
 will also be made by Grand Trunk Pacific steamer "Prince Albert," 
 and two hundred miles of the Skeena River, reputed the most 
 beautiful river in the world, is regularly traversed by river steam- 
 ers. Prince Rupert is on the regular route between Puget Sound 
 and Alaska, being 700 miles north of Seattle and 550 from Van- 
 couver, and within a day's sail of Skagway. Steamers of the Pa- 
 cific Coast S. S. Co., also make the port of Prince Rupert regularly. 
 
 The North Coast Country 
 
 The North Pacific Coast country is heavily timbered. Its timber 
 is its glory. Lumbering will continue to be for many years western 
 Washington's greatest industry and source of wealth. A reliable 
 estimate places the amount of standing timber on the Cascades in 
 Western Washington at about two hundred billion feet. This con- 
 sists of fir of several varieties, hemlock, cedar, yellow pine, spruce 
 and larch. 
 
 The timber lands, where not mountainous, have, as a rule, a rich 
 soil, which well repays the farmer for the labor of clearing the 
 ground. The logged-off lands make good farming lands. These 
 are being steadily occupied by settleVs and are especially devoted 
 to truck and dairy farming. The remarkable variety of resources 
 offered by Washington, its peculiarly varied and healthful climate, 
 its strikingly beautiful landscapes and snow-capped mountains, 
 noble rivers, great estuaries of the sea, magnificent forests, charm- 
 ing lakes and prairies make it a region particularly attractive to 
 all who seek new homes or investments in the great Northwest. 
 
 Between Tacoma and Portland, Ore., the railway traverses an 
 interesting region. Olympia, the capital of Washington, Tenino, 
 Centralia, and Chehalis are prosperous communities south of Ta- 
 coma in this region. After following the Cowlitz River Valley for 
 many miles the line reaches the Columbia River, at Kalama. It 
 then follows the east bank of the stream to Vancouver, Wash., a 
 sightly city, the location of Fort Vancouver, and the headquarters 
 of the Department of the Columbia, thence across the Columbia and 
 Willamette rivers on two of the largest steel bridges in the world, 
 into Portland, the beautiful Rose City of Oregon. This part of the 
 Northern Pacific between the Sound and Portland is double tracked. 
 
 The "North Bank" Railway The Columbia River 
 
 The new Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway, the "North Bank" 
 line, provides a short, direct and picturesque route between the 
 East and Portland, via Spokane and Pasco. At the latter point 
 the line crosses the Columbia River on the Northern Pacific bridge 
 and then follows the north bank of the Columbia to Vancouver, 
 Wash., and Portland. 
 
 The Columbia River is noted for its salmon fisheries. The annual 
 salmon product of this and other coast streams is valued at about 
 five million dollars. There are also many other fish taken, includ- 
 ing sturgeon, shad, smelt, catfish, tomcod, black bass, herring, 
 flounders, perch and carp. 
 
 The Columbia is far superior to the Hudson in its scenery. The 
 great gorge of the Columbia reveals tremendous palisades and 
 bluffs, magnificent forests, grand reaches of river, beautiful water- 
 falls hundreds of feet in height, besides the unique salmon fish 
 wheels and the wonderful Cascades and Dalles. Cellilo Falls 
 the Great Falls of Lewis and Clark Rooster Rock, Cape Horn, 
 Castle Rock and Multnomah Falls are a few of the wonders of 
 nature to be seen on the ride from Kennewick to Vancouver, the 
 old seat of power of the Hudson's Bay Company. 
 
 One of the most remarkable spots on the Columbia, scenically and 
 
 MOUNT RAINIER (TACOMA), 14,363 FEET HIGH. 
 
 historically, is The Dalles of the Columbia, which marks the pres- 
 ent head of navigation from Portland. 
 
 Near White Salmon, in the heart of the Cascade Range, the 
 glory and beauty of the palisades, two to three thousand feet high, 
 the waterfalls, cliffs and the timber crowned mountains are revealed 
 in all their plenitude. Here at White Salmon and vicinity and at 
 Hood River, Ore., on the opposite shore, are some of the finest 
 apple orchards in the West. The region is also known for its 
 luscious strawberries. 
 
 Goldendale, in the valley of the Klickitat River and reached by 
 a branch line from Lyle, is the center of a rich grain and fruit 
 region. 
 
 The Cascades of the Columbia, like The Dalles, is a noted spot 
 historically and otherwise. Around the Cascades the Government 
 has constructed a ship canal at a cost of $3,000,000. Fine river 
 steamers pass through these locks daily. 
 
 Multnomah Fall, eight hundred and forty feet in height, is seen 
 in all its beauty from "North Bank" line trains. 
 
 Portland The Cascade Range 
 
 Portland, one of the terminals of the Northern Pacific, is a great 
 railroad center, with a constantly increasing population. It is a 
 wealthy city of broad streets, beautiful homes, imposing stores and 
 public buildings, blooming roses and green lawns. It is situated on 
 the Willamette River, twelve miles above its junction with the Co- 
 lumbia, and from a scenic point of view its location is unexcelled. 
 The view from Council Crest, 1,200 feet above the city and reached 
 by either electric cars or a delightful carriage drive, is especially 
 fine. The Cascade Range in its green, wavy undulations rises to 
 the east cleft by the mighty gorge of the Columbia. Here and there, 
 
 15 
 
projecting high above the main range, stand Mt. Jefferson, Mt. 
 Hood, Mt. Adams, Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier (Tacoma) white, 
 glittering, robed in ice and snow, and forming imperishable monu- 
 ments of grandeur. In the foreground the city slopes down to the 
 deep, currentless river, and then rises in easy grades to the foot- 
 hills about Mt. Tabor and its adjacent elevations. Portland in re- 
 cent years has been progressing at a marvelous rate. Its buildings 
 and general city improvement operations have been on a large scale. 
 It has many fine hotels. It has a Rose Festival in June of each year 
 that is carried out on such a lavish scale and with such success that 
 the city is now well known as the Rose City. This festival is one 
 of the most attractive of the sort held in the United States. 
 
 Among the noteworthy sights from Portland is white-robed Mt. 
 St. Helens, in plain view from almost any point in Portland, and 
 a sight that once seen will never be forgotten. Just to the left of 
 it the tip' of Mt. Rainier (Tacoma) is visible. Another entrancing 
 picture is that of Mt. Hood, which stands alone among the North 
 Coast mountains. Each one has, indeed, its own distinct individual- 
 ity. While not the largest, nor the highest, Mt. Hood is, to most 
 persons, the most beautiful of all these giant glacial peaks, the 
 one to which the word "grandeur" most appropriately applies ; 
 11,225 feet in height, the picture it makes as seen from Portland at 
 sunset is something that cannot be expressed in words. 
 
 Among interesting excursions from Portland are trips on the 
 Columbia and Willamette rivers, and a trip by rail or river to 
 Astoria, an interesting and historic city, and the many sea coast 
 resorts near the mouth of the Columbia. There are several fine 
 beaches where the bathing and recreation are equal to that of the 
 same sort found elsewhere. 
 
 Oregon 
 
 Oregon is on the verge of a marvelous development. Increased 
 railway construction is opening up new sections and stimulating 
 old, settled villages. The Willamette Valley, south from Portland, 
 contains 5,000,000 acres of fertile land and valuable water power. 
 The Oregon Electric Railway provides up-to-date service between 
 Portland, Salem, Forest Grove, McMinnville, Albany, Eugene, 
 and intermediate points. Southern Oregon valleys and foothills 
 raise apples and pears for export across the ocean and the acreage 
 of orchards is rapidly increasing. Eastern and Central Oregon 
 contain millions of acres of valuable lands in a mild and genial 
 climate, awaiting only the completion of railway projects now un- 
 der way. The mountains of Oregon are heavily timbered, and 
 have deposits of gold and other minerals, and the streams provide 
 vast water power. The new Oregon Trunk Railway, an affiliated 
 line of the Northern Pacific, constructed up the Des Chutes River, 
 penetrates a rich and productive region in the heart of the great 
 state. This section of Oregon is well watered, lies at an elevation 
 of from 2,000 to 5,000 feet, has a rich, fertile soil, is very produc- 
 tive, has several reclamation projects by irrigation and drainage, 
 Government and private, under way, and is a fine livestock, grain, 
 and fruit region. There are some important mineral belts, espe- 
 cially of gold. 
 
 See America First is our final word. See Yellowstone Park 
 and the Northwest. It is an education in itself, this trip through 
 the "Land of Fortune," over the "Scenic Highway." If you are 
 seeking a home, you will find none better than those in the marvel- 
 ous states which the Northern Pacific traverses. Specific literature 
 about any state or section will be furnished free upon request.

 The Northern Pacific was the first transcontinental railroad to 
 light its trains with electricity, and without exception all of its 
 main line trains are thus lighted today. 
 
 All through sleeping cars between the East and Portland are 
 operated over the new Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway be- 
 tween Spokane and Portland, along the North Bank of the Co- 
 lumbia River, a trip unsurpassed anywhere in point of scenic at-

 which are the Spokane Limited, which runs between Spokane and 
 Seattle-Tacoma ; the Evergreen State Limited, which runs between 
 Seattle, Tacoma and Portland ; the Portland-Seattle Special, which 
 runs between Portland, Tacoma and Seattle ; the Gray's Harbor

 and Hoquiam ; the Lake Superior Limited, which runs between 
 Minneapolis-St. Paul and Duluth-Superior, and the Manitoba Lim- 
 ited which runs between St. Paul-Minneapolis and Winnipeg. 
 These trains all provide a la carte dining car service, are modernly 
 equipped, and those which run by night are electric lighted and are 
 provided with standard sleeping cars. 
 
 Summed up in five words the trains of the Northern Pacific pro- 
 vide "SERVICE THAT SETS THE PACE." For complete 
 schedules and equipment of trains see red time-table folder. 
 
 NOTHERN PACIFIC DINING CAR SERVICE 
 
 SPECIAL attention is given to the dining car service, and many improvements have been made, including many new dining 
 cars of special design. The run of dining cars is continuous between St. Paul-Minneapolis and the Coast, a feature 
 which was for many years exclusive to the Northern Pacific, and which has always been appreciated by the traveling 
 public. 
 
 This line is famous for its Great Big Baked Potatoes, eggs from its own poultry farm, Washington creamery butter put 
 up in four separate wrappings of oil paper, whipped cream for coffee, milk in individual bottles, bread, cakes, French 
 pastry, pies, and ice cream from its own bakeries at Seattle and St. Paul. The bread is wrapped in tissue until cut for the 
 table. Bottled Spring Water (bottled at the springs at Detroit, Minnesota) is used exclusively. 
 
 Our poultry and dairy farm is located near Kent, Washington, is visible from the train and marked by a large sign- 
 board. This farm has an area of over fifty acres and a flock of eleven thousand White Leghorn chickens, producing one 
 hundred and fifty dozen eggs per day. A herd of over three hundred thoroughbred milch cows, supplies milk and cream. 
 
 The meat and fish served are the choicest afforded by the best markets and all meats are prepared for the dining cars in 
 our own butcher shops at St. Paul and Seattle. No pains are spared to insure the highest quality of edibles, properly 
 cooked and perfectly served. Our chefs and waiters are picked with great care and our dining car conductors are trained in 
 caring for the wants of patrons. A corps of Dining Car Instructors maintains the highest degree of efficiency in the service. 
 There is nothing finer than the N. P. diner.
