FIVE GOOD REASONS.
That the llio (irrnde route in the inont
Hipularoiie lietween the I'acifh: count
and the cant, Ih evidenced hy the fact
that the greater pur cent of truutcnntl

I'irnt, the weiilc uttractioiiH in view
from traiiiH are uiieiiialed in the world.
Second, the daily iiernnnally conduct

mode of travel at raten within reach
of all.
Third, it Ih the only route Itctwccu the

Fourth, tint choice of two dintinct

Fifth, three funt through truiiiH daily
