OUR JOURNEY.

By S. N. Haskell

Sunday, Feb. 29, our party, consisting of Mrs. E. G. White, Bro. W. C. White and wife, and myself, arrived from the East. We left Battle Creek Sunday night, just one week previous, and spent one day in Chicago and one night at Council Bluffs.

A trip across the plains at this season of the year is usually considered anything but desirable. But owing to the pleasant weather, and the courtesy of the railroad officials on the train, we almost forgot the monotony of our journey and enjoyed the trip very much.

We feel it a pleasure to here say a word to our friends concerning the Chicago and North-western, and the Union Pacific railroads. There are two other competing lines from Chicago to Council Bluffs besides the North-western. There are also other lines to Colorado than the Union Pacific; but having traveled over each of these competing lines we feel confident that there are no roads that make greater efforts for the convenience of the passengers than those above named.
