XIV. In the past two months I ha We
| travelled over $1,000 miles attending
Department Encampments and other
official functions. and in every part Of
the country there Is great interest in
hn Nro$f
While 1t is not possible to estimate what
! the attendance will be, will say that in
South Dakota every veteran met an
nounced his intention of going to Min
neapolis, and found the same attitude
all over the country. Railroad men say
there Is an unprecedented demand for
accommodations in the way OF special
| trains and special cars
The only thing that will operate to
keep down the attendance is the fact
| that cheap rates will not go into effect
in time to make possible short stay In
Minneapolis before the Encampment.
| During a recent visit to Minneapolis l
passed over the line Of parade. It will
not be. over two miles In length, and
The streets over which the parade viii.
pass are being resurfaced. so the march
! ing will be easy. The committees are
| working enthusiastically. and every
| thing points to the success Of the 4Oth
| National Encampment.
| The Committee on Accommodations
will provide for all visitors accommo-
dations in hotels. lodging houses and
| private homes at reasonable rates. APP
plication should be made by those desir-
| ing to engage rooms as soon as able to
| state the time of their arrival. All COM
munications with reference to any mat
| ter should be addressed to Wallace G..
Nye, Secretary, G. A. r. Committees,
