Burton Lee Thorpe, St. Louis. CALIFORNIA'S DELEGATES TO THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES. A. M. Flood, San Francisco. REPORT OF DR. JOS. D. EBY. Member Transportation Committee International Dental Congress and National Dental Association. Attention Southern Dentists: T HE time is now approaching when all members of the National Dental Association should begin to consider seriously their prospective plans of attending the joint session of the National Dental Association, and International Dental Congress, to be held in San Francisco, at the Panama-Pacific Exposition, Aug. 30th to Sept. 9th. This is the opportunity of a life time to combine business and pleasure in a Western trip. The wide range for the selection of literary and Clinical material, also exhibits, have placed the International Dental Congress meetings of the past among the greatest in dental history. The organization of this Congress has been at work more than two years, and it is safe to predict that this Congress will eclipse all other similar meetings of the past. This is an era when great knowledge can be received from this meeting, to the extent that its value should be placed at the highest mark, and the expense and time necessary to attend should bring great inspiration to our profession, as well as immediate practical returns. Ostensibly, the grandeur of our West Lv. New Orleans Lv. Houston Ar. San Antonio Ar. El Paso ern scenery, and the delightful climate of the season should determine the fact that "This is my year to take a trip West." The question if itinerary is governed almost entirely by the time one wishes to spend. Stopovers and varied routings can be arranged with practically no additional transportation expense, excepting over the Northern Lines. As a member of the Transportation Committee of the National Dental Association, also same committee, PanamaPacific Dental Congress from the territory including North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Mississippi, much time has been spent in considering the numerous routes, etc., with a view toward being able to make the very best recommendations to members from this territory. I beg to advise, after careful consideration, I have decided the most practical, attractive, and best way for the Dentists in the Southeast who expect to attend this meeting, will be to make New Orleans a concentrating point, and have therefore arranged with the Southern Pacific Railroad to operate special private Pullman sleeping cars, form New Orleans thru to Los Angeles, on the following schedule: 11:30 P. M. August 19th, Southern Pacific Train No. 9. 11:30 A. M. August 20th, Southern Pacific Train No. 9. 11:50 A. M. August 20th, Southern Pacific Train No. 9. 7:20 P. M. August 20th, Southern Pacific Train No. 9. 8:50 P. M. August 20th, Southern Pacific Train No. 9. 6:30 P. M. August 21st, Southern Pacific Train No. 9. 6:00 P. M. August 22nd, Southern Pacific Train No. 9. Ar. Los Angeles Lv. Los Angeles Ar. San Francisco 9:20 P. M. August 23rd, Southern Pacific Train No. 9. One hour, five minutes stopover at San Antonio. You will note this schedule shows our arrival at El Paso 6:30 P. M., 21st, leaving 6:00 P. M. 22nd, or stopover at that point of approximately 24 hours. Delegates can spend night on car, using berths, instead of Hotels. This arranged on account of invitation extended by the El Paso Chamber of Commerce offering us an excellent free trip in and around the City of El Paso, together with side trip over the Borderline to the City of Juarez, Mexico, which I am sure will prove very enjoyable. Also, please note that stopover is made at Los Angeles of four days, which is arranged for sight seeing in and around that City, together with plenty of time to make side trip to San Diego, to see the Exposition at that point, without additional transportation expense. On arrival in Los Angeles, the private Pullman cars will be dispensed with, and from there to San Francisco, Pullman Parlor Observation cars will be used, and the schedule as shown is via the Coast line Division of the Southern Pacific Railroad, which takes in all of the world's famous resorts of California. such as Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Paso Robles Hot Springs, Del Monte, Monterey, Santa Cruz, Pacific Grove of Big Trees, San Jose, etc., arriving in San Francisco night of the 28th, thirty-six hours before our meeting convenes. I will also state that the trains on which these special cars will move carry dining and observation cars, etc.; in fact, all features that go to make up the best there is to be had in train service. Stopovers at any and all points desired will be allowed by the railroads, going and returning, within final limit of tick ets, which will be three months from date of sale. The New Orleans gateway is by far the most logical and convenient for a concentrating point, of any in the Southeast, and I trust you will give this matter serious consideration, and arrange to join this party so that we can all travel in one body. On going trip, be sure and have your ticket routed via New Orleans, and Southern Pacific railroad to San Francisco. Returning, would suggest following lines, which can be secured for the same rate, namely, Southern Pacific to Ogden, Denver & Rio Grande to Denver, Union Pacific to Kansas City, Wabash to St. Louis, Louisville & Nashville to Nashville, thence any direct line to starting point. The Southern Pacific line from San Francisco takes in the beautiful part of California known as the Lake Tahoe Region. Side trip can be made from Truckee, a main line point, thru the Lake region, including boat trip of 75 miles around the lakes, for $5.00. Thence, to Ogden, from which point side trip can be made thru the Yellowstone National Park, consisting of round trip railroad fare, four nights lodging, and thirteen meals while in the park, at at rate of $53.50. Thence, return back to Salt Lake, where, after seeing the sights of this wonderful city, the Denver & Rio Grande can be used to Colorado Springs, and at this point, "Manitou," the "Garden of the Gods" and Pike's Peak are to be seen. Thence to Denver, at which point sight seeing in and around the city, visiting the World's Famous Indian Congresses, etc. From Denver, would suggest Union Pacific lines to Kansas Approximate charges for lower berth in Pullman sleeping car to make direct round trip as outlined above, including stopovers at prominent points, from New Orleans, would be $32.00. The North Pacific Coast Tour, via Portland, etc., would be approximately $42.00. It will be my pleasure to see that you are furnished with any other detailed information you may desire in regard to rates, tickets, limits, stopovers, side trips, etc., and you can either address letter to myself, or to Mr. D. L. Griffin, agent, Southern Pacific Company, Atlanta., Ga., and such information as you de sire will be furnished you promptly, together with literature pertaining to California, the expositions, and Dental ConEither of us will make sleeping gress. car reservations for you on receipt of advice as to what is wanted in this respect.
