George F. Richardson, master of trans
portation of the Southern Pacific, yester-
day gave some new Information about the
number of Endeavorers who will come
here.
1.-The first train of the Endeavorers is
due here tomorrow at 8:45 P:.M.," said he.
at Will consist of twenty-five passenger
cars. They are probably not all Endeav-
orers, for some other people have doubt
less wanted TO take advantage of the
cheap rates. %
Besides these we will have four trains
and probably more at about midnight.
Tomorrow mornings train has two extra
sleepers. There will probably be big trans
right along after the first trains start.
THE bulk OF the trains will come out of
Ogden the night OF the Fourth. We can
care for all the people who may come. or
at least We think we can, and that we can
do it well. We will start. cut five dining
cars Saturday morning. They will go to
Terrace, New. and from that place will be
worked back and forth along the line so
as to accommodate the most people.
There are eating-houses at Terrace,
Elko, Battle Mountain, Humboldt, Win.
nemucca, R"no. Truckee, Summit, Blue
Canyon, Auburn. Colfax and Sacramento TO-
AT some of these places and perhaps else
where, where the room is small the long
tables, hitherto alluded TO. will be spread
in order to accommodate the people. We
find great many of the people will be
supplied with lunch baskets, and I may
say they are wise in this.
About seven or eight trains will come
out of 0 den on the 4th before mid night,
and after that they will begin to boil. We
are prepared for forty or fifty trains to
come from there. They will come half a
mile or ore apart. Some of them may be
considerably more than half mile apart.
This will give an idea. however We
expect between 400 and 500 cars
