Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition (Northern Pacific Railway)/The Great Lakes
The Great Lakes
Those who so desire may, in connection with the Yellowstone Park tour, the Portland Exposition, and Alaska, enjoy a trip on the Great Lakes, between Buffalo and Duluth, on one of the superb steamers Northwest or Northland. The steamer leaves these ports on a regular schedule, connecting with Northern Pacific trains at Duluth, which trains connect in turn at Staples with the regular transcontinental trains to and from the park, Puget Sound, and Portland. Those who may have planned for years “the trip of their lives,” may, in 1905, achieve their ambition by “doing” the Great Lakes, Yellowstone Park, Alaska, the Lewis and Clark Exposition and California, at remarkably small expense.
A day spent in Duluth and Superior, driving around the boulevards in Duluth and in visiting the coal and ore docks of the two cities, will not be time thrown away. These enterprising young cities, one in Minnesota, the other in Wisconsin, are fair exponents of Northwestern vim and progress.
