 west of, and including. Mission Junction, B. C. ; also, from what are 

 known as Kootenay common points, namely, Nelson, Roosland, San-

 Association has on sale daily Nine-Months Tourist Fares, approxi-

Station Agents will cheerfully advise delegates as to the eastern 

 points to which it will be most advantageous for them to purchase 

 nine-months' tickets in rebuying through to Cleveland. 



Proportionately higher fares are made to principal Atlantic seaboard 



points, and to interior points such as New York, N. Y. 

 Philadelphia, Pa. ; Washington, D. C. ; Boston, Mass.

The nine-months fares do not apply to intermediate or interior 

 points, but only to what are known as the eastern gateways of the 

 Association, such as those named, including also Colorado Common 

 Points. Should it happen that delegates apply at a station on the Pacific 

 Coast, from which the nine-months fare is not in effect, which may 

 be the case at very small, unimportant stations, the agent will cheer- 

 fully ascertain and advise them the nearest point to his station, from 

 which such fare does apply. 



The official button of the Association will be supplied to all mem- 

 bers whose dues are paid, including dues for the year 1913. These 

 will be furnished at the meeting on application to the Secretary. A. F.
