able Californians will be kept busy en-
5ertaining them.
San Francisco has long wanted a con-
Vention, and there is no doubt that
the Endeavorers there will do their ut
most to help their eastern friends have
a good time.
As for the convention itself, there are
no specially novel or interesting fea-
lures ON the programme. There will be
the usual reports of the general society
officers, including probably one of those
interesting little speeches by General
Secretary Baer, who always seems to
have the faculty of putting the conven-
tion in good working humor. There Will
be chorus and congregational singing,
and as the Endeavorers are notably
good singers this will be one of the
pleasing features of the gathering, as it
always is. While it is not expected that
the sessions will be neglected to any
great extent, it must be confessed that
the attractions of San Francisco will
prove far more tempting to the dele
gates than those of any other city in
which they have gathered.
The sessions Will be held in Mechan-
les pavilion, an immense structure, in
which it is expected the entire body of
4G4GSalGS Gou Dc COLu1OIJdU4J SGGLSu &G
once. This will be the only convention
for years in which all the Endeavorers
have been able to get together under
one roof. In Washington last summer
three big circus tents were filled, and
overflow meetings were held in various
halls.
The Endeavorers have been given
generous rates by the railroads. The
round trip from Chicago will cost them
only $50, which is something less than
half the regular rate. This Will bring
the average expense for transportation
alone up to about SO for each delegate.
To this must be added at least $25
more for living expenses.
But 500 does not include the cost of
making any one Of the many side ex-
eursions which will form one of the
chief features of the convention. 1t is
not likely that any eastern delegate will
want to rush through to the Pacific
coast and back again and leave unvisit-
ed all of the places which make the far
western states the wonderland of the
continent. While they are in California
they will want to see some of the big
trees, and an excursion over a narrow
gauge road will be run for their bene-
fit. The round trip will be only So.
There are at least a dozen other points
of interest within short distances Of the
convention city, and the local EndeaV-

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.
Furnished by the Associated Press to
the State ournaL


WHEAT-Was a dull market today.
The opening was easy, July 691sql0c,
compared with yesterdays closing price
of 703s0 7O15c. Much of the nervousness
and apprehension over July corner which
was shown yesterday had disappeared.
Nevertheless, there was very little wheat
for sale and it was not until July had
been bid up to TIC, under a fairly brisk
demand that holders evinced any dispo-
sitiOn to let 60 At that price. however,
they loosened up enough to cause a re-
action in July to nc. The weather map
showed too much rain in sections where
harvesting is in progress and damage re-
ports were received from Illinois and
Tennessee. Northwest receipts were 267
cars aginst 237 last week and 416 year
ago
CORN-Was easy at the opening, on
good crop reports, but became frmer as
wheat advanced. Trading was quiet and
mostly OF scalping nature Local

er al 245sG25c and advanced to 251sG251zc.
OATS-Are at a standstill but firm. Lo-
cal receipts were 25l cars. July opened
unchanged at 1880 and sold at 1S1sGI1S5zc

fected by weaker prices at the yards, but
the sharp advance in wheat drove shorts

THE CONN LINTON FLAG.
ably there are mono held in any part Of
the world which equal the Endeavor
conventions in point of mum bers. Usu-
ally they are attended by about $1,000
delegates.
But mere numbers do not fully con-
vey the true idea of the magnitude of
these gatherings, for along with the
delegates come q vast army of friends
and associate members who take advan-
tage of the cheap rates and the congen-
ial company to make a summer pleasure
tour. Only the largest of our cities can
accommodate the crowds. It took the
hotel men some little time to realize
how numerous the Endeavorers really
are. Five years ago, when the conven-
tiOn was held in New York, asked the
manager of a big Broadway hotel, a
week before the opening day, if he did
not expect to have a crowded house.
"Oh, nol'' he said carelessly. "Those
religious conventions never amount to
much. New York could have half
dozen at once, and we could handle
them without any trouble at all.
A week later, when the town was
fairly running over with Endeavorers,
I chanced to see him again, and 7 asked
if he had many delegates at his hotel
81 should say 1 hadi They nearly
swamped me the first day, and we've
been turning them away in droves ever
since. All the other Broadway hotels
are in the same fix. Say, didn't think
there could be such a lot of them.
Boston had even a worse experience
two years ago. The state officers of the
society tried to impress on the local
transportation men that a big crowd
was coming. The latter evidently did
not believe it. They did not make suffi-
oient preparation, and consequently the
street car lines were choked up for two
or three days.
In Washington last year it seemed as
if there was a better understanding of
this matter, and preparations were made
accordingly. The national capital can
accommodate a lot of people at one
time, but if it had not been for the
thOroug ghness with which the local En-
deavor committees did their work the
experiences of New York and Boston
would have been repeated. The job of
sheltering the 80, 0OO delegates and their
army of friends was not left to the no
tells. Had it been there would be more
gray haired landlords in Washington
than there are now. When I saw the
long trains emptying their thousands
into the streets, I asked Washingto-
nian:
Where are you going to put them
a1l?''
Most of them will be assigned to
private houses and boarding houses. A
few will go to the hotels" he said.
And that is the way San Francisco
will take care Of the crowds this sum
mer. 1t will be necessary, although
there are a dozen good sized hotels in
the city, and the crowd will be much
smaller. In fact, the attendance will be
less than at any Christian Endeavor
convention which has been held for sew
eral years. 1t is the distance and the
