Niagara Falls. The Colorado & Southern,
the Colorado road over which travel is one continuous delight. The San
Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad, one of the youngest but by no
means the least of railroads, the road that lies as straight as the crow
flies, linking together the City of the "Saints" and the City of the
"Angels." The snow-capped Rocky Mountains and the sun-kissed shores of
the Pacific Ocean, the dead sea and the live sea; the railroad that
makes it possible to have a sleigh ride with your second wife in the
City of the "Saints" on Sunday and pick flowers and eat oranges with
your first wife in the City of the "Angels" on Tuesday. Over this line I
am running at present, and while it has only been in operation a short
time, yet the time and service equals and in some cases surpasses the
time and service of the great Trunk Lines of the east. We often make
ninety miles an hour over the standard gauge roadbed, that equals any in
this country. The cars are all new, the engines are the latest
up-to-date kind. The cars are built for comfort and convenience, the
trains are all electric lighted, steam heated and have every modern
convenience for the safety and comfort of the passengers. This road, in
common with some of the eastern roads employs chair car porters in
addition to the Pullman porters. On all trains from Salt Lake to Los
Angeles there are three or four Pullman porters and one chair car
porter.

All trains have dining cars, which are in reality magnificent dining
rooms, where three times a day the dainties of the season are prepared
by a competent chef to satisfy the most discriminating inner man. The
furnishings of these cars, the fine linen, the artistic glass, china and
silverware, are guaranteed to make you enjoy your meal, even if you have
got dyspepsia. Besides the dining car and the Pullman sleeping cars,
there is attached to all overland trains on the Salt Lake route, a
through tourist sleeper, which differs from the Pullman sleeper only in
a slight difference in the furnishings. The service is the same, but the
cost of a berth in them between Salt Lake and Los Angeles is just
one-half that of the standard sleeper. I have never run on a road where
better service, more courteous treatment or better time was made than on
the S. P., L. A. & S. L. Railroad.

In these latter years, when progress is the watchword of the railroads
in common with the other industries of the country, no expense or
