THE NEW CASCADE LINE SHASTA ROUTE NEW SCENES; new and trains thats what the new Cascade Line brings to the traveler to the Pacific Northwest via California. Faster time between great cities, through wild and beautiful country, together with the comforts, conveniences n and services of an hotel. The Cascade Line passes throuh virgin forests, over mountains, along rugged lakes and turbulent lovely streams. The new line branches in a southeasterly direction from the original Shasta Route at Eugene, Oregon, and proceeds to the summit of the Cascade Range, thence along the eastern slopes through Klamath Falls, connecting again with the Shasta Route at Black Butte, California, at the west base of Mt. Shasta. It first follows for many miles the upper Williamette river, affording beautiful vistas, then through wooded Salt Creek Canyon to the summit. In the canyon the passenger gets a glorious vista of 15 or 20 miles across the timbered canyon. Looking up, he sees overhanging cliffs and narrow gorges, chiseled from solid rock by glaciers ages airo. Not unusual is the thrilling sight of wild deer peacefully grazing in the clearings along the right of way through the canyon. At the summit, 4,843 feet elevation, is beautiful Odell Lake, its great depth intensifying its wonderful blue by many towering peaks, including Diamond Peak (8,800 feet), Mt. Thiel-so- n (9,178 feet), Mt. Scott (8,933 feet), and Mt. McLoughlin (9,491 feet); also the jagged rim of Crater Lake. Between Kirk and Klamath Falls is the Williamson River and a great inland sea Klamath Lake along the eastern shore of which the line runs for a distance of 17 miles. Of keen interest to travelers is the large number of Pelican to be seen on both river and lake. South of Klamath Falls the new line traverses interesting lava beds, and Mt. Shasta to the east and the broad sweep of colorful Shasta valley to the west vie for attention.

All the way we came through a land that once was part of New Spain, of Mexico. Before Spaniard came this vast domain, stretching from Alaska to Peru, was peopled by Orientals, who had come in sailboats from distant regions, the American Indians. Once upon a time, tis said, all this land was known as Fusang, known to the East as the land one reached by a years sailing.
