THE BEE KEEl'ERS' REVIEW. 



American Boc Journal covers these 

 l)oint!j so '.veil (hat 1 cop)- it. It reads 

 as follows: 



'•Th.> Los Anj;eles convention is j;o- 

 ini; to he \v<'il attended, if we may 

 jud^c hy tht» inciuiriea coming' in. 

 II('r(> is a sanu)le: 



Editor Bee Jonrnal— My wife and 

 self ai"(> planning to go to tlie l)lg con- 

 vention at I.os Angeles, and wonld 

 like to go with the crowd from Chi 

 (■ago. .\iignst 12: 



1. I low many .stop-overs are al- 

 lowed and where? 



2. MuHt we all go home together V 



3. Does .$5<) include the berth in tlie 

 sleeping-carV 



4. How much extra woidd it cost 

 to see (Jrand t'anyonV 



5. How much do yon think it will 

 cost for a couple to make this trip 

 from ('hicago, including all expenses? 



(1 Would you advi.s(i jjj^ to go via 

 Chicago, or try .some route from the 

 Twin Cities? 



Any Jigures, advice, oi- i)articidars, 

 regarding this matter will he greatly 

 appreciated. 



St. Croix Co., Wis. 



To the foregoing we may olTer the 

 following: 



1. Ak Ave nnd(>rstand it. as many 

 stop-overs as are desired will he allow- 

 lowed west of Colorado. 



2. It is not necessary tlmt all should 

 make the return trip together. Neither 

 is it necessary that any one should re- 

 turn over tlie same route as when go- 

 ing. Arrang(>ments can l)e made to go 

 one w;iy and come hack another at tiie 

 same cost. 



3. Fifty dollars for tlie round trip 

 from Chicago does not include tli(> 

 fOKt r)f itertli which, in a tourist car. 

 is .$(*>.00 for one way. 



4. The extra cost for seeing the 

 ( Jrand C\anyon will l)e $('>.r)0 for car- 

 fare and $2.00 for berth, if taken. 



5. It Avould be very hard to esti- 



mate the cost of tlie trip, as different 

 people will have different vicAvs, and 

 (litTerent sized poclvet-books. IIoav- 

 ev(>r, it ought not be A'cry hard for each 

 one to <'stimat(^ about what his ex- 

 penses Avonld be, Avhen he knows tlie 

 exact cost of the railroad and berth 

 tickets. It Avould be Avell. though, to 

 take plenty of money along, as there 

 may be some side-trips that one would 

 like to take out tliere. After going 

 so far, it would seem too bad to deny 

 one's self anything that really ought 

 to be seen and enjoyed. We are look- 

 ing forward to it as tlie one great trip 

 of our lifetime, and although we can 

 not 1)0 aAvay from our office mucli 

 more tlian ten days, avc hope to take 

 in everylliing possible during the trip 



(■). Of course, Ave AA'ould advise all 

 Avho can ]tossibly do so to join the 

 liarty going from Chicago, as it will 

 be •'the more the merrier." We are 

 a.nticipating about the best part of the 

 trip on the going journey. Tliere Avill 

 b(! am])le time for visiting, getting ac- 

 (luainted, enjoying tlie scenery, etc., 

 as Ave go along. There is really no fun 

 traveling or seeing things alone. 



We have ansAvered the questions of 

 Mr. Hanegan in this Avay, as Ave sup-. 

 pose tlier(^ are others Avho AVonld like 

 th<' information that Ave liaA'c tried to 

 give. If there is anything else connect- 

 ed with the trip that any other i-ead- 

 (u- Avould like to knoAA' aa'o aa'ouUI be 

 pleased to tell all about it, so far as 

 we are able. We only hope tliat cA'crA' 

 be(>-keeper, AA'ho can possilily do so, 

 will arrange to go to the Los Angeles 

 convention. California bee-keepers 

 ;ire going to do great tilings for tliose 

 Avho attend, and avc are anticipating 

 1h(> larger* and best convention the 

 National has ever lield. Of course, 

 every bee-keeper AA'ho has not yet been 

 to Califoiii'-i Avill Avant to go on this 

 ti'ip. It Avill be a memorable time and 

 convention.
