Excerpt from The Canadian Northwest as It Is Today
For the benefit of others who might come over this route, let me say, our tickets from El Paso, Texas to Calgary, Canada, cost us sixty-two dollars each. But if we had bought them by way of Los angeles-san Francisco, then by steamboat to Vancouver, B. C.. By way of Seattle, it would have been about fifteen dollars cheaper, each. And that way we should have got to, see enough of California to judge what it was like. Then we would have got out of sight of land, at sea on the way up the coast, and got an idea what an ocean voyage would be like - maybe got seasick. Then at Vancouver we would lave taken the same train that we took at Mission Junc tion, Canadian Pacific. East bound.'
