The Fall Council

Review and Herald Publishing Association · Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C. · Oct 28, 1915

ARRANGEMENTS are being perfected for a party to leave Chicago Monday evening, November 1, for the council at Loma Linda. It has been thought that the number of delegates to this council will be sufficient to make it well advisable to procure one or more special tourist sleeping cars; we could then have their exclusive use. The car will leave on the Rock Island Railroad, take the Golden State route, via Kansas City, Topeka, El Paso, and Tucson, to Los Angeles. This means a sixty-eight-hour run from Chicago to Los Angeles, arriving at the latter place at 2:30 P. M., Thursday, November 4.

We shall be glad to hear from any who would like to join this party and can arrange to be in Chicago in time to get this train. The Rock Island train leaves from the La Salle Street station. Those who can get better rates near at home, can buy their tickets via Chicago, but have them routed on the Rock Island Golden State route. They should send word to the undersigned so that reservation can be made for them in the tourist sleeper. The tourist rate is $7 for return trip. The round-trip excursion rate from Chicago is $62.50. All can readily determine whether or not it will be cheaper to buy a through ticket nearer home or to buy to Chicago and then get the excursion rate from this point.

Some inquiry has been made relative to the best scenic routes returning. It is advised that the return trip be by way of the Western Pacific, and the Denver and Rio Grande to Denver, and then on almost any road east of Denver. Delegates will suit their own time and convenience in returning, as we shall not attempt to have special cars on the return train. All who desire to go with this party and wish to have reservation made in the tourist sleeper, should write us at once, addressing W. A. Westworth, Transportation Agent, 3645 Ogden Ave., Chicago, Ill.
