1t may be that the crowd at the fort

by that time a number of the trains
will have left for San Francisco and
besides that arrangements have been
made for a Christian Endeavor day at
Garfield beach Monday. There will be
no special programme there. but ar
engagements have been made with the
Oregon Short Line to run as many
special trains to Garfield as may be
necessary so that all the visitors who

here Saturday night and Sunday. too
late for the outing a Saltair, may have
an opportunity to go TO Garfield.
TWO HEADQUARTERS

by the entertainment and reception
committees was considered at great
length and it was decided that some
members of the entertainment commit
tee would be stationed at the general
headquarters in the Y. NJ. c. A. hall all
the time and that members Of the re-
ceptiOn committees should be on duty
at the railroad stations all the time
Then representatives of the reception
committee viii meet every incoming
train at Provo Ogden or other places
outside of the city and escort the dele
cations here. In all cases where as
signments of headquarters and restaur-
ants have been previously made the
reception committees will present
cards to the transportation managers
on the trains showing where those
headquarters, etc, are. Upon the ar
rival of the trains here the reception
committee waiting at the depot Will
direct all assigned delegations to the
state headquarters and in this they

cieties of the city. All unassigned

be stationed at all headquarters to act
as guides to restaurants and private
houses where the visitors will have
their meals and the young people will
