SPECIAL TRAINS sATURDfY 2.
Gov. Wells and Party Go to Ogden at
6 O'Clock a. m

The Oregon Short Line has completed
its schedule of special trains to transport
the record breaking crowds that are eX-
pected to deluge Salt Lake on Saturday
All trains will arrive before the soldier
special comes in from Ogden, and those
to nearby points will leave after the cele-
bration is over. Stop-over privileges VIII
be granted to visitors hailing from dist
ant parts of the state. Following is the
schedule:
Governor Wells and staff will leave Salt
Lake for Ogden on a special saturday
morning at 6 clock. Tney will occupy
private car which will be attached to the
volunteer special at Ogden. To accom-
modate the large number of relatives or
volunteers who will go north to welcome
the boys, special low rate of 81 for the
round trip will be made; but those avail
ing themselves of this privilege do it with
the understanding that in no case will
they be permitted to return on the same
train with the governor staH and SOL
diers. A special train for their accommo-
dation, will leave Ogden five minutes be-
fore the departure of the volunteer
special.
Another special will leave Preston and

teer train.

and arriving in Salt Lake at 9:l5 a. m.
The fourth special will leave Garfield
Beach so as to reach Salt Lake about $3.50
a m. Returning leaves Salt Lake at

.EPWORTH LEAGUE CONVENTION
SoCIABLE FOR DELEGATES CIV
EN- LAST NIGHT.
Convention Will Open Today-Bishop
Joyce VIII Deliver An Address
Few Outside Delegates.

The sOciable arranged by the local
Epworth League as an opening for the
state meeting was a most delightful af-
fair. a large crowd of young people
assembled in the parlors of the First
Methodist church to enjoy the hospi-
tally Of the society. The general COM
mittee having charge of the reception
were Miss Eva Dix, Alexander Eber-
hardt, Miss Lizzie Davis. Miss Dolly
Davis, Miss Myra Sowles and Miss
Mary Mayne. An informal evening was
spent with little guessing contest to
lend variety to the occasion. For the
benefit of strangers each person was
labeled with d card bearing his name,
and question, which he was after
wards required to answer. Each person
also received a card containing on one
side a. capital letter and ON the other
a small one, the two being part of the
name of some prominent bishop of the
Methodist church. Groups were formed
of those holding the letters that made
up the entire name, and when these
were arranged President Eaton issued
the call to refreshments.
Ice cream and cake were served by
the following young ladies: Miss Dolly
Davis. Miss Eva Dix, Miss Marjory
Higgins, Miss Esma Rowe, Miss Erma
1t was regretted by the young people
of the city that so few of the state
delegates had come in on the evening
trains, contrary TO expectations. PreSi-
dent Eaton reported. however, that all
representatives would be in attendance
at the first business session today, al
though he regretted that they had not
reached the city in time for last even
ing'S social event.
The convention opens this morning
with a devotional session at $3.50
o'clock. This will be led by Rev. E. G.
Hunt. Committees will then be APP
pointed and the work proper of the
meeting begun. The principal address
of the entire session will be that given
by Bishop l. w. Joyce of Minneapolis,
who is TO preside at the Methodist con-
ference, which convenes tomorrow.
Bishop Joyce is a speaker of great
power and is well known throughout
the country as one of the most able
men in the church.
Owing to the inability of the street
car companies to furnish the cars, the
trolley party planned by the young peo-
pie had 10 be abandoned.

MRS, SPROUTS WILL CONTEST
GAVE HER SON BUT THREE
HUNDRED DOLLARS.
He Alleges That She Was of I'm
sound Mind, and Charges Undue
Influence and Fraud.

Certain heirs of Robenia Sproul filed
a contest of her will yesterday in the
county clerks office Those seeking to
have the will set aside are Francis
Sproul, a son, Bird z. Murphy, Frank
Murphy and Mary r. Norris, grand
children.
In the first place the plaintiffs claim
that the decedent was not of disposing
mind when she made her will and was
not competent to make the testament.
They say the supposed will was not
attested by two or more competent
witnesses, subscribing their names
thereto in the presence of the decedent
and each other as required by law.
At the time she signed the will, say
the contestants, if she signed it at all,
Mrs Sproul was under duress, menace,
undue influence and fraud. 1t is
claimed, further, that the will is not
valid for the reason that the Murphy
heirs and Mary r. Norris were not
mentioned, and that the omission was
unintentional.
Lastly the contestants claim that the
amount devised, or pretended to be de-
vised to Francis Sproul is dispropor-
tomato to the amounts bequeathed to
the other children. They ask that the
instrument be set aside and the estate
distributed according to law.
Mrs. Sprouts will was filed for pro-
bate July II. By its terms she be-
queathed $500 to her son Francis and
divided the balance of her property be-
tween her daughters, Mary Sproul
Smith and Agnes Sproul Tuckett. The
latter was left a piece of real estate
on condition that she pay her brother
Francis the $500 bequeathed to him.
II. A Tuckett was named as admin
istrator and the hearing set for tomor-
row. On account of the contest, how
ever, the hearing will probably go over
until a date early in September.

UTAH CROP CONDITIONS.
Early Potato Crop Will Be Below the
Average.

Following is a summary of the week
ly weather and crop bulletin issued
yesterday by Director Murdoch:
The temperature of the week ended
Aug IA was slightly below the normal
The rainfall consisted of only a few
light. scattered showers, but the ground
was in excellent condition as a result OF
the rains of the preceding week. and
growing crops made rapid advance
ment. Corn and sugar beets continue
in excellent condition. The reports
this week indicate that the early potato
crop will be much below the average,
although a number of localities report
a good crop. The vines are large and
thrifty, but the tubers are small and
scarce. Some reporters ascribe the
shortage to the continued hot weather
of July, but it is thought that the heavy
frosts of the first week of June were
the most detrimental. Late potatoes
appear to be doing well, and promise
an average crop. The harvest of spring
wheat is progressing. Oats will yield
well. The second crop of lucern is be-
ing cut. and is up to the average.

Volunteer Day Notes.

Like the true patriots they are, the
Woman's Democratic club yesterday pre-
Sented the committee on decorations with
800 large sized flags.
The Star Consolidated Mine of Tintic
will close down Friday in order to allow
the employees TO be present at the volun-
teerS' reception on Saturday.
Again it is urged that all citizens dec
crate their buildings with flags and bunt-
is it desired that every business block and
residence be embellished with red white
and blue.
A meeting of the twenty aide de camp
to Grand Marshal Penrose was held at
headquarters yesterday morning for or
ganiZation and instruction. All except
Sergeant Dick Colburn and Colonel Mich
ael Shaughnessy were present.
The lowest rates ever given by the rail-
roads to and from all points will be in
effect for Saturday, and more people
to this city to greet the volunteers than
have been here since the Pioneer Jubilee.
The triumphal arch at the intersection
of Main and Second South streets is fast
assuming definite form. and by Friday
afternoon it's artistic beauty will show
forth the mighty welcome that is to be
accorded the heroes who will march
through.
Captain Game is fearful that it will be
difficult to secure enough mounts for all
the cavalrymen. In the hope of obviating
the difficulty General Penrose requests
all citizens who have riding horses, sad
dies or brides, for hire or donation. to re-
port the fact TO headquarters.
General Penrose requests that the par
entS of deceased volunteers or their legal
representatives send their names TO him in
order that they may be provided with
tickets emitting them TO seats of honor in
the grand stand at Liberty park during
the ceremonies of the reunion, and decor
ating the volunteers with medals.
The reviewing stand on Fourth South
street just east of State will be made
larger than was at first intended II will
be made to accommodate at least GOO and
seats will be reserved for the governor
and his staff, state and county officials
members of the committees and distin-
guished citizens. Admission to the stand
will be by ticket.
The souvenir programme and menu card
for the banquet will be artistic in design
and elaborate in execution. 1t will con-
tain complete roster of the batterymen
and a list of the many battles fought in
the Philippines. IL will be Autographed in
seven colors and will sell for % cents a
copy. The volunteers and subscribers
to the fund will each receive a copy of the
programme gratis.
Gilbert Mclean is working up lively
interest among the railroad EMPLOYEES
for the parade. There will be several
hundred employees of the Oregon Short
Line. Rio Grande Western. Union Pacific
and Central Pacific in line. Due Office of
arrangements will be posted on the doors
of the respective shops and departments
However, on account of the Rio Grande
Western employees taking an outing at
Lagoon on Saturday it is probable that
not all of the Western boys will turn out

1t was decided yesterday to abandon
the idea of having lemonade booths.
The ladies felt that the boys would

cold lunch. so there will be no lemon

Memorial Arch Proposed.
The ladies' committee is gathering in
all the money it can and it is hoped by
there will be enough left to erect a
