TO TH~ NORTHW~~T AND TH~ FAR W~~T.
No highway of travel has received more flattering notices from
the public than the Chicago, Milwaukee1 and St. Paul Railway, the pioneer short line and the popular route to the Northwest
and the Far West. Whether one's Mecca be Omaha, St. Paul, Minneapolis, or Dakota, on the different branches of this much-travelled
thoroughfare, or even if one's destination be to points still more remote, it presents, without a doubt, the greatest advantages t~ the
traveller in his Westward course. Apart from its excellent roadbed, its flue coaches, and the grand scenery through which it passes,
its diniiig-cars and service are probably the most sumptuous of any
railroad in the world. Indeed ilie Western lines, and notably the
CMcago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul, fairly lead their Eastern
rivals in the matter of comforts administered to their passengers. So
that, with statistics to show one's life is safer in the average railway-train tlian when sitting in one's home or when engaged in one's
legitimate business, the traveller who places himself under the guardianship of a well-regulated railway may prosecute his journey with
a feeling of security and comfort as great as when reclining in his
arm-chair amid his own lares et penates.
For the benefit of those desiring to emigrate to Dakota and
other localities in the Northwest and Far West, the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Company has published an
illustrated pamphlet fnli of common-sense facts and valuable information and statistics, which will be sent free of charge by addressing
