Bound trip special Exposition rail- 

 way tickets at greatly reduced rates are 

 available from all points to San Fran- 

 cisco, Los Angeles or San Diego as the 

 destination. The price of tickets from 

 points east of the Rocky Mountains is 

 the same whether the destination be San 

 Francisco, Los Angeles or San Diego. 

 The trip going and returning may be by 

 the same route or by different routes, 

 but the routes described on the tickets 

 must be followed. Tickets from Chi- 

 cago and farther east are valid going or 

 returning via New Orleans. Tickets via 

 Portland, Seattle, etc., involve a sup- 

 plementary charge, concerning which 

 the local railway representatives should 

 be consulted. The baggage of those who 

 intend to stay in Berkeley should be 

 checked directly to Berkeley, California 

 (by either the Southern Pacific or Santa 

 Fe routes) instead of to San Fran- 

 cisco. All round trip tickets require 

 validation for the return trip. 



Railway rates have been greatly re- 

 duced, the cost of a round trip being 

 $62.50 from Chicago and $94.30 from 

 New York. 



Special lines of steamers advertise 

 passage between the Atlantic and Pacific 

 Coast by way of the Panama Canal at 

 rates varying between $135 and $198 

 (one way). 



Stop-overs for side trips can be ar- 

 ranged either going or returning. 

 Round trip rate from San Francisco to 



Hawaiian Islands and return by either 

 of several lines of steamers from $110 

 up. Yellowstone National Park is 

 reached from Livingston on the North- 

 ern Pacific (to Gardner and return 

 $3.20). A six-day trip in the park from 

 Gardner costs $40 and another of 5| 

 days $53.50. Yellowstone Park may alsa 

 be reached from Ogden on the Union 

 Pacific by a branch to Yellowstone 

 (round trip $9.25). From here a five- 

 day trip in the park costs $35 and a six- 

 day trip $40. 



The Yosemite National Park is 

 reached by Southern Pacific or Santa 

 Fe lines, stopping at Merced, CaL 

 Round trip from Merced to Valley 

 $18.50. Both hotels and comfortable 

 camps may be found at the camp. Sev- 

 eral groves of Big Trees may be visited 

 from the Valley. One grove very much 

 visited is only six miles from Santa 

 Cruz (on the Southern Pacific). 



Alaska may be visited by steamer 

 trip from Seattle or Vancouver. Round 

 trip from Seattle $66 and up. From 

 Prince Rupert (on Grank Trunk) a 

 trip to Alaska may be made at an addi- 

 tional expense of about $30. 



Attention may be called to two pub- 

 lications which will add to the scientific 

 interest of the trip. The Pacific Coast 

 Committee of the American Association 

 has compiled a guide book entitled 

 ' ' Nature and Science on the Pacific 

 Coast," which contains a large num- 

 ber of articles by leading men of sci- 

 ence. The United States Geological 

 Survey has prepared four guide books 

 covering railway routes west of the 

 Mississippi. These books, which con- 

 tain full descriptions and excellent 

 maps, may be obtained by sending one 

 dollar for each to the Superintendent of 

 Documents, Washington, D. C.
