ENDEAVOR VISITORS
ENJOY THEIR FIRST VISIT TO
THE STATE
The Utah-C Colorado Stop-Overs May
Find Some Trouble About
Getting Home Again

SAN JOSE, July 14-This city was
crowded today with Christian Endeav-
orers who have been arriving in large
numbers since yesterday morning. Spe-
cial trains from San Francisco and Oak
land brought thousands of visitors who
were met at the depot by committees
from the local societies of Endeavorers.
The visitors were driven about the city
in carriages and We're also driven
through the orchard districts. Fruits
and flowers We're distributed at differ
emit points along the road The visitors
were shown the immense canneries
which were in full operat ton and the
preserving of the different fruits was
watched with great interest Those who
did not go on the drives into the country
were entertained at the First Presby-
terrain church or visited the Lick OBJ
servatory. The transportation facilities
to the observatory were inadequate to
carry all who desired to go and many
will make the trip UP Mount Hamilton
tomorrow
AT THE SEA.
| SANTA CRUZ, July IA thousand
Christian Endeavorers arrived here this
afternoon after having lunched at the
big trees. They were received at the
| depot by local Endeavorers and escorted
in electric cars and carriages to various
points of interest, after which the visit
ors took a dip in the surf. The cars were
decorated with flowers and the visitors
We're given souvenirs. They left this
afternoon for San Francisco

| ing neighboring points of interest in eX-
cursion parties arranged as part of the

RATE TROUBLES
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE Utah Color
ado lines are likely to have considerable
| trouble with their stop-over tickets from
san FRANCISCO. Ine UnlOn racine To-Day
announced that it would not honor any
tickets carrying stop-overs east of the
line of the state of California. None of
the lines of the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION will honor the tickets and the
Utah-Colorado lines are likely to find
themselves in a bad box before the mat
ter is settled The Union Pacific has als1
issued orders to its agents in San Fran
cisco to pay no commissions under any
circumstances. This action of the Union
Pacific has strengthened the hands OF
the association roads very materially
and the Utah-Colorado lines are practi-
cally cut off from any eastern outlet
for their stop-over business and the ex.
ecutive committee of the Western Pas
senger associa ton held meeting today
to consider the situation and it was de
tern.Aled that the agreement made by
the western roads with the northern
transcontinental roads should be carried
; out at any cost. II was again decided
that rates will be openly reduced i
Chairman Caldwell finds such a steI
necessary after he has arrived in Sar
Francisco.
