AMERICA’S SECOND LARGEST AND MOST OUTSTAND ING NATIONAL PLAYGROUND

A TRIP TO ALASKA, the “LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN,” with its varied UNSURPASSED SCENIC ATTRAC­ TIONS, will satisfy the most ardent outdoor^ enthusiast, whe­ ther tourist or vacationist. Modern all-steel equipped passen­ ger trains with parlor and observation cars await the pleasure of travelers over THE ALASKA RAILROAD. The passenger rates which were increased, two years ago have now been re­ duced on The Alaska Railroad to six cents per mile. Therefore, the passenger fare from Seward to Fairbanks is $28.20.

FOR THE SPORTSMAN, it can be .said that if THE AL­ ASKA RAILROAD had been built for the one and express purpose of making the Big Game accessible, it COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE FORTUNATELY LOCATED, as it cuts squarely THROUGH THE CHOICEST BIG GAME FIELDS OF CENTRAL ALASKA.
