Crowds Begin TO Gather.
The crowds of people who always come
for conference Have begun TO arrive. The
information bureau in the temple grounds
last evening said that. based on former
experience, it was the estimate that the
number of visitors will be as large as that
which attended the conference last fall,
when 1t was Appropriated that 1j,000 were
here. That fell a thousand short of the
number that attended a year ago, when
it was the estimate that 1900 came
The railroads yesterday reported a slight
decrease from the number carried on the
day before conference year ago, but IL
is quite likely that the night trains and
the trains of today will bring in enough
people TO make the total as high as last
years figures show.
Mo Lack of Accommodation.
Last fall there was a woeful lack of
accommodation for a large number of Wis
itors. Many families were compelled to
walk the streets all night a condition
which was especially true in the case of
those who came on the late-hour trains
An appeal-indeed. numerous appeals. and
urgent-were made from the rostrum to-
the saints to throw OpeI. their homes and
10 extend hospitality to those who were
unable to secure places of Judgment
The appeal had the desired effect and the
ones who were unfortunate enough to
be without shelter were speedily cared for
through the agency of a bureau eStab-
lished for the purpose.
The information department last evening
gave out the word that there was no in
dication that there would be a repetition
Of the inconvenience suffered during the
fall.
