What 1t Will Cost to Attend
the July Christian Endeavor
Convention.

The Transportation Committee of the
New Jersey Christian Endeavor Union has
made the following estimate for the trip
to the San Francisco convention in July
on the New Jersey special train:-"Rail-
road fare from New York, via ST. Louis,
to San Francisco and return by Chicago
to New York, $67; additional fare frorl
San Francisco to Portland, $3.50; total
railroad fare, $74.50 double lower berth
for entire trip of eighteen days, S32; three
meals each day to San Francisco, S13;
three meals each day from San Francisco,
ST; total necessary expenses, s136.50. "A
double upper berth will cost SIS for the
round trip, reducing the above figures to
Sl32.5O. Many people win prefer to take
only two meals a day, which will be bet
| ter in view of the little exercise while
travelling. The following estimate will
cover their expenses:-Railroad fare,
$74.50; double lower berth Cor upper, "a
1ess), $32; two meals a day, so; total
necessary expenses, $126. 50. Married
couples or intimate friends, occupying
the same berth, can educe their ex.-
penses still further. Railroad fare. s74.5O;
half of double lower berth, SIG; two meals
each day, $40; total necessary expenses,
sl1O.5O
From these estimates one can figure
out the expenses of the entire trip. If
some prefer to carry lunch baskets, they
can do so, filling them at the cities or
towns when we stop, and having a table
set in the ear. This will reduce the
necessary expenses fully $40 and bring
the cost down to $500. The expenses for
sightseeing at the various places where
we stop will in many cases be only for
street car fare. The san on Puget Sound,
from Tacoma to Seattle, will be free.
The ride from Colorado Springs to Mani
tou will also be free of charge. AT Mani
den of the Gods will cost 81. The ascent
