CARED FOR 100000
Enormous Task Of the Local Commit
- tees About Over.

The fortietb encampment, Of the
G. A. R. will be largely history, by to.
night. Departing thousands OF visitors
have left the city. The headquarters
of committees and organizations that
have been crowded to ove rhowing and
full Of business for a week, are now
almost deserted. The information
booths and accommodation bureaus are
out of business, for there are none to
call on them. The, uninterrupted guides
have disappeared from the streets, the
Red Gross men are few in number and
will soon be missing. The general COM
mittee headquarters that have been
filed to OVERLOOKING. since Saturday,
have only a few visitors, most OF them
people who have dropped in to express
their appreciation Of the manner in
which the encampment has been han
died. Secretary Wallace G: Nve of the
encampment committees will return to
old headquarters, 533 Andrus building,
tomorrow, and the work OF closing the
encampment affairs and settling all
accounts will begin. -
The closing hours Of the encampment
bring one Of real pleasure to the com
mittee9 workers.: From all sides words
Of commentator are heard. Veterans
who have never missed an encampment
since the organization Of the G. A.. r.
come forward voluntarily to congratu-
late the committee on its success.
There has been no discordant note. In
addition to the personal congratu1a-
tions and expressions of appreciation,
are the formal votes of thanks from
the allied orders that have met with
the encampment. The praise is not
stinted and there is no hesitation In
pronouncing the Minneapolis encamp'
ment the best in the history of the or.
ganization.
Some idea of the work that has been
done can be gained from the fact that
100000 strangers have entered the city
and all have been cared for. Nobody
has needed to wander about without
suitable accommodations. All that
could be expected within reason has
been done. Free quarters in schoo
| buildings have been furnished to 8,4O(
| veterans. Nine hundred have beer
| cared for in tents. Fifteen bands have
been given free quarters. One band
| the Veterans Orphans band of Indian
aapolis, has been given quarters ant
board. The accommodation bureaus
have provided rooms for $4,000 person.
and could have cared for $4,000 more
| In addition to all this a Thousand
other things have . been cared for
Guides have been furnished, privilege
secured, headquarters and the detail
Of the parade for visiting department
cared for, concerts and entertainment
instructions, decorations and every
thing that was needed has been sur
piled: -

the convention of the Union Veterans
union be held. It was so decided at

have been held at times and places re-.
gardless of the CA. R. encampment,

are also G.. A.. R.. men, it was found
to suit their. convenience better to make
the union meetings coincide with the
encampment. .-,,... <ss.
