RECREATION. 



Uncle Sam 



Pins his faith to the mail pouch going over 

 the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Ry. 



Notice his keen and appreciative 

 expression. 



His faith in this line's service is pro- 

 verbial. An experience of more than a 

 quarter of a century with the Lake Shore's 

 service in the operation of the government's 

 fast mail trains, has led to the knowledge 

 that such service is safe, fast, punctual 

 and comfortable. 



Experienced travelers have the same 

 fine appreciation of this road's passenger 

 trains, knowing that the same high effici- 

 ency of service enters into their operation. 



For punctual and enjoyable travel 

 between Chicago, Toledo, Cleveland, 

 Buffalo, New York and Boston use the 

 Lake Shore. "Book of Trains " free.

The 



Mountain View 

 Route 



This is what the Northern Pacifie- 

 Shasta, or Shasta-Northern Pacific Routt 

 —it reads as well backward as frontward 

 — may well be called. 



The route takes its name from Mt. 

 Shasta in Northern California, This 

 white, snow capped peak, at the foot of 

 which the railway winds, is 14,350 feet 

 high. The mountain is in plain view, for 

 several hours, from the train, and its 

 distance from the track varies from twelve 

 to seventy-five miles. 



The beautiful scenery of the Sacramento 

 river at the base of Shasta, is connected 

 with this route only. Castle Crags, Moss- 

 brae Falls, the natural twin soda fountains 

 at Shasta Springs, are scenic gems. 



The crossing of the Siskiyou range 

 furnishes the par excellence of railway 

 mountain scenery, and observation cars 

 are provided there free of charge. Then 

 in succession come Mts. Jefferson, Hood — 

 a beautiful mountain — St. Helens, Rainier 

 — 14,532 feet high — and Adams, all former 

 active volcanoes and now covered with 

 glaciers. 



From Portland a steamboat side trip up 

 the noble Columbia river to the Cascades 

 and Dalles enables the tourist to see a 

 river, palisades, waterfalls and mountains 

 far surpassing anything the Hudson can 

 show. 



An opportunity is also given to visit 

 Tacoma, Seattle and the Puget Sound 

 region. 



Then follow the Ciscade range and 

 the Rockies, and a stop can be made at 

 Yellowstone Park. 



This line traverses the finest scenic 

 region of the United States — don t forget 

 it, and see that your return tickets home 

 from California read around this way. 



A Pullman Tourist Sleeping Car is run 

 once a week in each direction between 

 San Francisco and St. Paul, via this route.
