that from an advertising standpoint
Salt Lake could not entertain Il more
profitable party OF gentlemen, AS most
Of the delegates win be accompanied
BY their ladies, It is fair to suppose that
there will be 500 visitors in the city
when the special trains arrive.
This association was to have visited
Salt Lake last May, but the trip was
postponed In the first place they were
invited to come by Governor Wells and
Mayor Thompson on behalf OF the ct-
gems Of Salt Lake. When the oregon

the extent OF rendering a free special
train 10 Portland and return, the asso-
citation promptly accepted,
Following the communications re-
ceiyed az local railroad headquarters
yesterday, a meeting Of passenger rep
resentatives OF every line that has Off
ces IN this city will be called In
few days to consider the matter of en-
tertainment. A chairman, secretary and
