At the eastern termini of the southern transcontinental lines, excursion tickets will be sold, or orders exchanged, for tickets to San Francisco, returning via either the Shasta route, the all-rail line to Portland, or the Ocean, and the Northern Pacific Railroad to St. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth or Ashland, at a rate $15 higher than the current excur- sion rate in effect between Missouri river points, Mineola or Houston and San Francisco, going and returning via the direct lines. When purchasing tickets in the East or at Missouri river, passengers should be particular to designate that they desire to return via Portland and the Northern Pacific Railroad, as tickets cannot be exchanged after reaching the Pacific Coast. At Portland, should they so desire, they can take the side trip along the Columbia river to the Dalles and return at a small cost. This enables every one to see the Columbia river scenery, and also visit the Puget Sound country before crossing the Cascade Mountains.

Alaska is a land of unusual romantic interest, and yet it is remarkable for its solid resources and the vast stores of wealth that simply await the touch of the pioneer and capi- talist to be unfolded to the light. A trip to this region reveals to the eye the grandest and most harmonious blend- ings imaginable of lights and shadows, mountains and val- SALOON IN ALASKA STEAMER. leys, water, ice and sky. Subjects are here found for the brush of the artist or the pen of the writer, such as cannot be duplicated elsewhere. The most interesting feature of the Alaska trip to many travelers is the visit to Muir Glacier, one of the largest masses of ice yet discovered, and which far exceeds in size any similar body of ice in the European Alps. The view of this glacier, with its frowning background of moun- tains, is very inspiring, as the folio wing description, by Rev. Dr. Brown of Tacoma, attests: "From the deck of our steamer we looked back upon the glacier, whose deep-toned artillery kept up its solemn salutation as we departed ; vast pinnacles toppled over and became new-born icebergs; about us all the floating pinnacles of crystal yonder rising above all the St. Elias Alps, clothed in everlasting white, but touched now with the crimson glow and glory of the setting sun ah! it was a scene which touched every heart with awe; which spoke of God and the glories of heaven , which lives henceforth and forever in the memory of everyone who beheld it." Tourists are referred to the Alaska folder published by the Northern Pacific Railroad (distributed free) for a de- scription of this remarkable country, by Prof. John Muir. It has only been possible of late years to make the Alaska trip, but the tour has so quickly grown into popular favor that three steamers are now required to properly care for this travel. The magnificent steamer," Queen," will be devoted exclu- sively to excursion traffic. She is a large steamer (3,000 tons), 340 feet long, equipped with all modern improvements and appliances, and has accommodations for 250 passengers. This boat will start from Tacoma, calling at Seattle, Port Townsend, Victoria, Ft. Wrangell, Juneau, Muir Glacier, Sitka, etc., and will occupy about twelve days in making the round trip. The regular steamers, " City of Topeka" and "Mexico," will start from Tacoma, calling at Seattle, Port Townsend, Victoria," Ft. Wrangell, Juneau, Muir Glacier, Sitka, etc., and at several points not visited by the "Queen." These steamers will occupy about nineteen days north of Tacoma. The following is the schedule of sailing dates: NAME OF STEAMER. Leave Tacoma. Due Back. Mexico April 12 May 1 City of Topeka . April 27. May 16 May 12. May 31.

MOUNT TACOMA. "I cannot goon without stopping here one moment to try to suggest to you the most wonderful vision of beauty and 8 magnificence I have ever seen on any journey that I have ever taken round the world. I am glad that nobody had spoken to me about it. I was sitting on the deck of the little steamer ; and I had hardly left the harbor of Seattle before, way off against the perfect blue of the clear sky, I saw what I supposed was a cloud. I looked at it a second time, be- cause it'seemed to me that its outlines were a little too definite and that they retained their shape too long fora cloud. I looked, and looked again, until at last it took shape, and not settled, but reached down to the earth at my feet ; I found myself gazing upon the grandest mountain upon which my eyes have ever looked, Mount Tacoma. Most mountains, as you know, we only partly see. If you wish to see Pike's Peak, for example, you must go to Colo- rado Springs ; and there you are half the height of the peak from the sea before you see it at all, and then it is sur- rounded and hidden by foot-hills, so that it is only a little of the top that is visible Imagine a mountain that is 14,444 feet high, twice the height Mount Washington, stand- ing alone, unhidden by any foot-hills to take away from its dignity, so that, as you sit on the deck of the steamer, you see all its mighty bulk from the water up, lofty, white, glistening forth against the perfect sky. I do not know of any other mountain that can be seen in precisely this way, and I thanked God for "the strength of the hills," for the suggestions of magnificence and power. If I never see it again, that vision of might, of loftiness, of beauty will go with me as an inspiration, something to make me feel the greatness of God as almost nothing else upon which my eyes have looked."

While the above schedule embraces details of round trip up to the time of return to Livingston, tourists holding 15 either the $50 or $120 tickets are at liberty to stop over on the return trip at Mammoth Hot Springs, one day or longer, without arrangement beyond verbal notice to the driver on or before reaching Mammoth Hot Springs. THE TRANSPORTATION COMPANY has completed arrange- ments whereby holders of the $50 or $120 tickets can stop over at stations in the Park, south of Mammoth Hot Springs, at their pleasure and for such length of time as the limit of their rail tickets (from 40 to 120 days) may permit, without EXTRA CHARGE for transportation, provided immediate notice of their desire to stop over is given to the Hotel Super- intendent at the point where the lay-over is to be made. TRANSPORTATION RATES. Cinnabar to Mammoth Hot Springs and return, $3.00. Mammoth Hot Springs to Lower Geyser Basin, Yellow- stone Lake, and Grand Canon and Falls of the Yellowstone and return, $18.00.

For four-horse carriage and driver, accommodating seven people, $21.00 per day. IMPORTANT NOTICE. The total cost of the park tour to special parties not purchasing the tickets sold by the Northern Pacific Rail- road Company will but slightly exceed the ticket rate for a similar trip, the railroad company making the concession in its fare to ticket purchasers, but the above rates have been so reduced that, with the exception of surreys (a three- passenger wagon), tourists can travel in special parties at the same expense as regards hotels and transportation in the park. Therefore, The Yellowstone Park Transportation Company reserves the right to have any schedule varying from that of the $120 and $50 tickets (which has been so made that the daily drives are alternately long and short), arranged and approved in advance by its agent at Mammoth Hot Springs, and also to collect additional compensation for extra service. 16 When tourists holding the $50 or $120 tickets, or hiring conveyances by the day, wish to retain their vehicle more than six days, a discount from the foregoing tariff of twenty- five per cent will be allowed for the additional time, making the rates, after the six days have elapsed, as follows: For two-horse carriage and driver, accommodating three people, $7.50 per day. For four-horse carriage and driver, accommodating five people, $11.25 per day. For four-horse carriage and driver, accommodating seven people, $15.75 per day. NOTE. The minimum charge for carriages used on Park trips wilt be the rate for one full day. For the accommodation of tourists who prefer visiting the different points of interest at the Upper Geyser Basin and Grand Canon in carriages or on horseback, or for drives around Mammoth -Hot Springs, also for the trip from Grand Canon to Mammoth Hot Springs by trail over Mount Wash- burn via Yancey's with its magnificent scenery, and from Grand Canon to Mount Washburn and return, the following rates are made for the saddle horses, guides and carriages kept at these points for that purpose: For one guide with his own saddle horse, $5 per day. For one pack horse, $1.50 per day. For one saddle horse or pony, $1 first hour, 50 cents each, subsequent hour, or $ 2.50 per day. For two-horse carriage and driver accommodating three people, $4 first hour, $2 each subsequent hour, or $10 per day. LOCAL TRANSPORTATION RATES.

BAGGAGE. For one trunk between Cinnabar and Mammoth Hot Springs, 50 cents. Valises, grips, etc., carried free. Twenty- five pounds baggage, carried on stages through Park, free. GEYSERS AND HOT SPRINGS. The lowest elevation of any of the valleys of Yellowstone Park is 6,000 feet above the sea, and several of them are from 1,000 to 2,000 feet higher. The whole area of the park is one vast volcanic plateau, with mountain ranges hemming it on every side, whose mighty peaks are from 10,000 to 12,000 feet high. Most notable of these mountains are the Absa- rokas (so called from the Indian name of the Crow Nation), which form the eastern barrier of the Park. Along the base of the Absarokaa and elsewhere in the park are evidences of tremendous and repeated volcanic activity whose dying energies find form in the geysers and thermal springs. There are probably fifty geysers in Yellowstone Park throw- ing columns of water to varying heights, and from 8,000 to 10,000 hot springs depositing either silica or lime. Fifteen of the largest geysers in the world are those of the Upper Geyser Basin, each of them throwing streams of water from one hundred to three hundred feet high. The most commonly accepted theory of geyser action at the present time is that promulgated by Prof. Bunsen of Germany, and indorsed by Prof. Tyndall, the noted Ameri- can geologist. Bunsen's theory supercedes the older ideas which attributed geyser eruptions to chemical or mechanical action, such as the plicating or uplifting of rocks; or to the accumulation of steam in underground caverns. Hia idea is that the eruptive force is generated in the tube itself. Water boils in the air at 212, but the lower we descend in the geyser tube the more heat is necessary to bring it to the boiling point. For instance, at a depth of about forty-five feet (point "C"), the boiling temperature is 249. Thisisowing 18 to the atmospheric pressure at that depth, or in other words, to the pressure or weight of the column of water resting on the water at this point. There is no one point or depth in the tube where the actual temperature reaches the boiling point at that same depth. The nearest approach to it is at point "D," a few feet lower than "C," but less than midway between the top and bottom of the tube. Bunsen found that the temperature of the water did not become equalized by the circulation of ascending and descending currents, owing to irregularities, contractions and bendings in the tube. He also found that at certain intervals of time there was a sudden accession of extremely hot water, 19 flowing into the bottom of the tube, which, coming in Yolume and suddenly, lifts the entire mass of water above. The temperature of the water at "D" is 251. It will not, however, burst into steam at that depth unless it is heated to 255. But when the water at " D " is suddenly lifted to "C," where the boiling temperature is only 249, it quickly flashes into steam, as does all the water above it, for the same reason, and the eruption takes place. The action of all geysers tend to support this theory, and it has further- more been proven by experiment that eruptions may be caused in this manner. The following table is a record kept of the eruptions of the largest geysers in the Midway and Upper Geyser Basius. While the action and intervals of these geysers very often change, this record may be considered as approximately in accordance with the conditions at the present time : NAME. Height it.

Waters from its various springs have been analyzed with great care, and it may be stated that no other springs in the United States present as important a combination of salts in solution as those of Yellowstone Park. The following extracts from the pen of Mr. Walter H. Weed will convey an idea of the most important properties of the springs in this remarkable region : " From a therapeutic standpoint, the analysis of Hot Springs waters from the Yellowstone may be grouped as calcareous, alkaline-silicious, acid and sulphurous. The former comprising the hot water of Mammoth Hot Springs are highly charged with carbonate of lime, which they deposit, on exposure, in the form of travertine. They resemble in composition the waters of Carlsbad, as will be seen by a comparison of the analysis of the two waters. For bathing purposes they are less agreeable, and probably less beneficial, than the alkaline waters of the Geyser Basins. "These latter waters are generally highly charged with alkaline salts, sodium chloride and sodium carbonate* together with silica, being the chief constituents ; but there is usually present also a small amount of sodium borate, also sodium arseniate, the latter a most valuable therapeutic agent in a variety of diseases. The luxury of bathing in these waters must be indulged in to be appreciated. The extreme softness of the water, and the delightful freshness which one notices after the bath, render the use of the water a great pleasure. In New Zealand, where a water almost identical in composition (save that it lacks the arsenic), has been used for several years, this type of water has been found most beneficial in the treatment of gout, rheumatic troubles and sciatica. " In France the curative properties of water carrying arsenic in solution are fully recognized, especially for the cure of certain forms of nervous and skin diseases. While the Yellowstone waters contain a little less arsenic than those of the French springs at La Bourboule, there is no reason to doubt their usefulness for similar diseases. 21 :*: DC I' o <: LU o fen i-j_j a >-|| < I ^i "The acid waters, carry ing free hydrochloric acid, are less numerous in the park, but mauy springs of this character are found at the Norris Geyser Basin. Such waters have achieved a considerable reputation in New Zealand as a tonic and alterative, particularly in diseases of the liver and in functional troubles of females. They also exert a powerful effect upon the body in all skin diseases, but are probably less useful than the sulphurous waters in such cases. Ex- cellent examples of the latter type are found at the Norris Basin and elsewhere in the Park." At the present time the springs are used for bathing purposes only at the Fountain Geyser Hotel. CLIMATE AND TEMPERATURE. There are really no intensely hot summer days.

This beautiful body of water is located on the Little Falls & Dakota Railroad branch, reached from the main line via Little Falls. It is 12 miles in length, 4 miles in width, and has a shore line of about 40 miles. Its shores are sandy, with a pebbly beach, most of which are lined with a beautiful border of timber. The waters are cold and clear as crystal, being fed by numerous springs, and are stocked with all the varieties of game fish to be found in the 25 Northern lakes, such as bass, pike, whiteflsh, pickerel, etc. A smooth carriage road runs along the water's edge, afford-, ing a delightful pleasure to all desiring to visit the points of interest near by. Numerous pleasure boats can be hired at small cost. The hotel accommodations are good, rates being $1.50 to $2.00 per day or $8 to $10 per week. BATTLE LAKE, MINN. Situated in the midst of the famous Lake Park region of Minnesota, on the Northern Pacific, Fergus & Black Hills branch, is Battle Lake, reached from the main line via Wa- dena. The waters are well stocked with whitefish, bass, pike, pickerel, etc., and afford excellent sport to all lovers of the rod. A boat house is situated on the shore of the lake, where good boats, bait, etc., will be furnished visitors; also guides when desired. Within a radius of five miles, some seventeen lakes can be plainly seen. Beautiful drives lead in every direction, affording an excellent opportunity to view this lovely region. The hotel accommodations are good, there being two hotels at this point, built with special reference to summer visitors. DETROIT LAKE. Detroit Lake is the centre of a notable group of waters which afford some of the finest black bass fishing in the Northwest. These lakes, numbering fifteen or more, are all located within a few miles of each other, in the midst of a beautiful country where gently sloping hills and green woods greet the eye on every hand. Detroit Lake itself is a beautiful sheet of water, having a shore line of thirty-seven miles, along which is an excel- lent hard gravel road shaded by oak, hard maple and other varieties of trees. A canal with locks connects Detroit with Lakes Sally and Melissa, along whose wooded shores are dozens of summer cottages that are occupied during the summer and fall season by visitors from a great many of the large eastern cities. Steamboats make the tour of the lakes every day, and the excellent roads throughout this locality afford excellent driving. 26 In addition to small and big mouthed bass, pike and other varieties of fish live in these waters in large numbers. In the hunting season pheasants, prairie chickens and multitudes of ducks attract the sportsman. The Hotel Minnesota at Detroit contains about 100 rooms, and affords excellent ac- commodations to its patrons. It is convenient to the lake; is lighted by electricity, and heated by steam. Rates, $2 per day; per week, $10 to $14. The Fair Haven House, on Lake Sally, is capable of caring for 65 people. The accommodations are good, and provision is made for the needs of sportsmen. A daily stage will be run during the tourist season between the Northern Pacific depot and this hotel. BRULE RIVER AND PIKE LAKE. At the crossing of the Brule River by the Wisconsin Division of the Northern Pacific Railroad, 36 miles west of Ashland, Wis., is found some of the finest trout fishing in the Northwest. The river averages about 100 feet in width. Its waters are clear and cold, with high ground on either side. The best trout fishing on the river commences about six miles above and extends eight miles below the railroad crossing, in this distance there being a number of small rapids. The trout in this stream reach a large size, catches of three and four pound fish being very common. An ordi- nary day's fishing on the river is 150 fish for two rods. There is a good hotel at Brule, where special facilities are afforded to sportsmen. Pike Lake, Wis., 25 miles west of Ashland, is a summer resort. The lake furnishes very fine bass, pike and pickerel fishing. The surrounding country abounds in game of vari- ous kinds. Good hotel accommodations. DEVILS LAKE. MINNEWAUKAN, NORTH DAKOTA. Minnewaukan, North Dakota, is located at the west end of Devils Lake, on the Jamestown & Northern branch of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Devils Lake, North Dakota's inland ocean, is a vast body of salt water, closely resembling the ocean both in appear- 27 ance and taste. It is about 45 miles in length, and in width varying from a few hundred yards to 7 miles. The shores of ths lake are exceedingly picturesque, extending 280 miles. They are well wooded and sloping gently to the water, present many points of special beauty. Numerous islands and promontories add greatly to the general effect. The air is dry and the temperature equable. Fishing and hunting at Minnewaukan is exceptionally fine, as the large number who have visited this new resort of the North during the last few years can testify. Good hotel accommodations. PLEASURE AND HEALTH. Among the large number of resorts along the line of the Northern Pacific Railroad that have attained more than a local reputation on account of tho virtue of their waters, the natural beauty of the surrounding scenery, or the attractions they hold out to pleasure seekers and sportsmen, the follow- ing are the most prominent: HUNTER'S HOT SPRINGS. These springs are situated at the foot of the Crazy Moun- tains, two miles from Springdale, Mont. Their waters are remarkable for the amount of mineral salts held in solution. They discharge at the rate of 1,500 gallons per minute. Their temperature ranges from 148 to 168 degrees Fahrenheit, and they are well known as containing medicinal properties for the cure of rheumatism, gout, neuralgia and all blood and skin diseases. The best of accommodations are afforded guests, and the house is open to visitors the year around. There are in use 3 plunge baths, 14 by 18 feet, 16 tubs and 3 vapor baths, which are the only ones known where the vapor arises entirely by natural heat. For use during the summer months there is a swimming bath, 105 by 105 feet. Round trip tickets are on sale during the entire year at the eastern terminals of the Northern Pacific Railroad to Springdale, at rate of $50. These tickets are limited to forty days; good going thirty days, returning ten days. 28 The hunting in the surrounding mountains and the trout fishing in the Yellowstone Kivcr are unexcelled. Bates at the hotel are $3 per day, $15 per week, or $50 for four weeks. These charges include the use of baths. Transfer from Springdale to the springs, $1 for the round trip. FERRIS HOT SPRINGS. The Ferris Hot Springs are located in the beautiful Gal- latin Valley, at a point just six miles distant from the city of Bozeman. Visitors are met at the latter point by vehicles which quickly take them to the springs. The thermal waters of these springs are, according to the analysis of com- petent chemists, identical with those of the. more famous Carlsbad Springs of Germany. A comfortable hotel has lately been built for the accommodation of the large number of guests who seek this resort for the recognized healing qualities of its waters. Bound trip excursion tickets are on sale during the entire year from St. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth or Ashland, to Boze- man, Mont., and return at rate of $55. Tickets are good for ninety days; going limit thirty days, return thirty days. Stop-overs are allowed within these limits. WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS. Lying forty miles northeast of Townsend, Mont., are the noted White Sulphur Springs. The waters of these springs have proved very efficacious for invalids, as many can testify, while the natural beauty of the surrounding country is suf- ficient in itself to attract large numbers to this spot each year. The hotel accommodations are excellent. A daily line of stages runs between Townsend and thejsprings. HOTEL BROADWATER AND NATATOR1UM- HELENA. The tourist who finds his way to Montana will hardly fail to visit Helena, the capital city of this golden state. Helena is interesting in view of the fact that it is reputed to be the wealthiest city in. the. world according to population. It is 29 the centre of a number of rich mining districts, and in its immediate neighborhood are located a number of mines that have netted their owners several millions of dollars. The people of Helena enjoy all the luxuries of an eastern city. They have provided themselves with public works of every character, including an excellent street railway sys- tem, and are very fortunate in the matter of hotels. One or two first-class hotels are situated in the centre of the city, notably " The Helena," but visitors will undoubtedly wish to stay at "The Broad water." This hotel is located about three miles from the city, near the line of the Northern EXTERIOR VIEW OP NATATORIUM, HELENA. Pacific Railroad, but transit is easily made by the steam street motor, passing among the handsome houses of many millionaire residents. The traveler alights in a handsome park, where his eye rests on the imposing front of the Broad water and the graceful outlines of the large natatorium that is run in connection therewith. The views obtained from this spot are grand beyond description. In different directions, from three to fifteen miles distant, are seen the Canon of the Missouri, Mount Helena, the main chain of the Rockies, and the famous Mullan Pass on the Northern Pacific Railroad. The hotel itself is large, commodiously arranged, and elegantly furnished ia fact, complete in all its appoint- ments, its " needle," "shower" and private baths being an especial feature. The table service is unusually complete and attractive. The natatorium was built in order that the Hot Springs that are located here might be used for the relief of those persons who suffer from the various forms of rheumatism, for which its chemical properties seem to be especially bene- ficial. The building is the largest of the kind in existence. Inside, an immense tank is found, three hundred feet long by one hundred and eighty feet wide, through which a stream of steaming, clear water is continually flowing. At one end a grotto is formed by a large pile of rock artistically arranged, over which flows a small torrent of water. The roof of the building is arched while the sides are straight, set with stained glass of various colors. INTERIOR VIEW OF NATATORIUM, HELENA. Tourists can very profitably remain at this spot for some time, not only to enjoy the baths, but to make the Broad- water their headquarters while visiting the many interest- ing places that are situated in the neighborhood of Helena. LAKE PEND D'OREILLE. Holders of first class unlimited or excursion tickets can stopover fifteen days or less at Hope on Lake Pend d'Oreille, Idaho, sixty nine miles east of Spokane. Length of lake, 31 fifty five miles ; three to twelve miles wide; shore line about two hundred and fifty miles; elevation above sea level, 2,069 feet. Country surrounding, mountainous and heavily timbered. Railroad follows the north shore for twenty-five miles. Game: Mule deer, white-tailed deer, elk, caribou and moose, black and cinnamon bear, and mountain sheep. Of winged game : geese, ducks and partridge. Fish : Salmon trout, lake trout, whitefish and squawfish. There is also excellent trout fishing in the numerous streams that flow into the lake. The hotel is located so as to afford the best possible view of the lake. Sail and row boats will be provided at reason- able rates. There are several small steamers running on the lake which will land passengers at any point desired, or they can be hired by the day at reasonable rates. Tourists will be able to secure, at any season of the year, hotel accommodations at Hope, which point is now Division Headquarters of the Northern Pacific Railroad, by communicating with A. D. Charlton, Assistant General Passenger Agent, N. P. R. R., 121 First Street, Portland, Ore., Q. G. Chandler, General Agent, N. P. R. R., 621 Pacific Ave., Tacoma, Wash ; or CHAS. S. FEE, General Passenger and Ticket Agent, St. Paul, Minn. MEDICAL LAKE, WASH. This truly remarkable body of water is situated eight miles northwest of Cheney , Wash., on the Central Washington branch of the Northern Pacific Railroad in Spokane county, on an elevated plateau, and surrounded by an ever-green border of pine, fir and tamarack timber. Its length is about one and a half miles by half a mile in width. From a time far beyond the knowledge of the oldest inhabitants its great medicinal properties have been known to the Indians of the North Pacific Coast. It has always been held in great veneration by them as "Skookum Chuck pe sauklee tyee illihe," or Strong Water from the Sacred Ground. Careful analytical tests show twelve medicinal properties in its waters, and many thousands bear willing testimony to physical benefits received from tbeir use. 32 Salt is obtained by evaporation and shipped to all sections of the country, and a very healthful quality !of soap is also made in large quantities. There are four good hotels, com- modious bath houses, splendid drives, delightful camping places and an abundance of fish in the other lakes in the immediate vicinity. The Eastern Washington Hospital for Insane, a very fine building four hundred and sixteen feet in length, is situated at this point. Eound trip tickets are on sale during the entire year from St. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth or Ashland to Medical Lake at rate of $70. These tickets are good, going and returning, thirty days ; final limit, ninety days. Stop-overs are granted within limits. LAKE CHELAN, WASH. It is only within the last few years that people have learned of the great beauty of Lake Chelan, though there are but few sheets of water that may be compared with it for grandeur of scenery. The lake lies but a few miles to the west of the Columbia river, at an elevation 300 feet higher than that stream with which it is connected by the Chelan river. It extends back in a northwestwardly direction almost into the heart of the Cascade Mountains, a distance of 68 miles, its width varying from two to three or four miles. At the eastern end of the lake the shores are softly rounded, but the character of the country gradually becomes more rugged until, a few miles beyond, the tourist is in the midst of mountain scenery of the utmost grandeur. The towering peaks of the Cascade range, 10,000 to 12,000 feet high, arise on every side. Dashing mountain streams, often fed by glaciers, find their way down the precipitous slopes, forming innumerable cascades, while the green woods and underbrush add a dash of color to the scene. Sportsmen never fail to secure all the trout they can wish for in this lake ; the mountains on every hand contain all kinds of large game, such as deer, bear and mountain goats, in great numbers, and feathered game is found on the numerous small lakes in the surrounding country. No 83 other section of the Northwest affords more favorable opportunities for a season's outing than theChelan country. Three small steamers are on the lake at the present time which make daily trips and land passengers at any point desired. Good hotels are located at Chelan Falls and at Lake Park, which supply accommodations at reasonable rates. Row boats, camp outfits and guides can be had at Lake Park when required. At the present time the best way to reach Lake Chelan is via Coulee City, on the Central Washington branch of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Stages leave this point daily, except Sundays, for Chelan Falls and Lake Chelan, (Lake Park,) arriving at destination the same day. The distance is 48 miles ; single fare, $5 round trip, 89. DOG TARIFF. Dogs must be carried only in the baggage car and in charge of train baggageman, who will collect, as his compensation for care of same, at the following rates: Twenty-five (25) cents for the care of a dog for the distance of 150 miles or less ; and for a distance of over 150 miles, at the rate of one-sixth (1-6) of a cent per mile. Baggagemen are not changed at the end of each di- vision, but run through between St. Paul and Mandan, Mandan and Helena, Helena and Pasco Junction, and Pasco Junction and Portland. Baggagemen will collect rate for dogs only to terminus of their respective runs, except to branch line points, when collection will be made to junction point only, and branch line baggageman will make proper charge for his run. Game in small quantities, accompanied by hunters not hunting for the market, may be carried in baggage car, at owner's risk, free of charge. Guns and fishing rods, properly cased, may be carried by their owners either in regular coaches or placed in the hands of baggagemen for safe-keeping; in the latter case no charge must be made by baggagemen. 34 ALTITUDE OF CITIES AND TOWNS.

SPECIAL CAR FOR PRIVATE EXCURSIONS. The attention of excursionists, hunting and fishing par- ties, and all others desiring the use of a private car, is called to the fact that the Northern Pacific Railroad have a special excursion car, designed especially for parties of the above nature, which they are prepared to rent at very reasonable figures. This car is built after the plan of the ordinary Pullman Sleepers, being equipped with the Miller Platform and Coup- ler and Westinghouse Automatic Air Brake, and contains drawing room, berths, saloons (ladies' and gentlemen's), desks, kitchen, and in fact all the conveniences of a hotel car, as per diagram on next page. If desired, this car will be provisioned, and cook, porter and waiter furnished at actual cost. For transportation of special car, and a party of fifteen persons or less, fifteen full first class tickets (regular or ex- cursion) will be required ; for more than fifteen, one ticket each.

FROM THE ''FOREST AND STREAM." "The hunting grounds which have been the least fre- quented are along the line of the Northern Pacific Railroad, and to this region the sportsman must turn if he hopes to succeed in securing a fair share of the great game, which in the old days was so plenty, and is now so scarce, in the Rocky Mountain region. * * A blindly foolish and short-sighted policy has been pursued by many of the railroads leading into the game countries of the West. They have sought eag- erly for the transportation of meat and hides from the regions where they were killed by hunters, forgetting that by thus encouraging the slaughter of this game, they were cutting off one of the greatest attractions to passenger traffic over their lines. Thus for the present few dollars received for freight they have thrown away the certainty of receiving vastly greater sums for the transportation of passengers. " In sharp and striking contrast to this mistaken policy is the far broader one adopted by the Northern Pacific Rail- road. For a long time parties in the neighborhood of the Lake Pend d'Oreille have been making application to the Freight Department of this corporation for special rates on wild meat, by the carload, from the lake to the east. These applications have been turned over to Mr. Charles S. Fee, the General Passenger Agent of the road, and directions have been given that all such applications for special rates shall be denied. In giving his reasons for this course, he recites that to a very considerable portion of the traveling public, the game and fish of the region traversed by the Northern Pacific Railroad constitute its chief attraction. This large and ever increasing class of travelers are well-to-do people who have money to spend, and are thus desirable patrons of the road. Any course which will decrease the supply of the game which they seek will tend to reduce the travel over the road by this class, who will go where they believe game to be most abundant. For this reason, if for no other, the Northern Pacific Railroad desires to preserve, by every means in its power, the game which is so great an attraction to a large class of travelers. It will not give special rates on wild meat by the carload nor by the hundred pounds. It will discour- age, so far as it can, the shipment of such wild meat at all It Trill, so far as lies within its power, preserve the game. * * It is encouraging, then, to see a great corporation like the Northern Pacific Railroad taking a firm and decided stand for game protection in a region where game protectors are most needed." VESTIBULED TRAINS. The Northern Pacific is now running two through vestibule trains to the Pacific Coast with elegant new Pull- man sleepers. These sleepers are built on the most modern and approved plan, having two drawing rooms, double toilet rooms, and all other of the latest conveniences. They are handsomely built, and are finished in the most luxurious and beautiful manner imaginable. With the equipment above referred to, the train service of the Northern Pacific is far superior to anything else offered west of the Mis- sissippi River. DINING CARS. The pioneer transcontinental dining car line is the Northern Pacific Railroad, which offers double daily pas- senger train service between St. Paul and Tacoma and Portland, with dining cars on all through trains. Their popularity with the traveling public is fully appreciated by the management, and no pains or expense will be spared to increase the efliciency of this and every other branch of the passenger service. Meals in dining cars, 75 cents each. SUMMARY OF GAME LAWS. WISCONSIN. It is lawful to kill the following game at the times hereinafter specified: Wall-eyed pike and black bass, May 1st to March 1st.
