cEN.E.A.WEDGWOOD, Chairman

The arrangements for handling the
parade are complete so far as they can
be made with the strength of the re-
spective departments OF the Grand
Army undeterryned. 1t is believed,
however, that the arrangements are such
that whether the numbers are greater
or less than we expected, they can be
put into the march without delay OF in
any way disOrganizing the line. Each
department is to be guided to its point

PRESS AND PUBLICITY
FISHER HARRIS, Chairman.

Ever since the announcement was
made that the Grand Army encamp-
ment at Toledo had selected Salt Lake
as the next place OF meeting the city
has been i'm the spotlight of desirable
publicity in the United States. the in
dividuals composing the membership of
the Grand Army of the Republic, the
railroads. newspapers and magazines
have combined since then TO advertise
the state of Utah as il was never be
fore advertised.
People all over the country awOke to
a realization Of the fact that Salt Lake
had grown to be city of population,
wealth, resource and enterprise-else It
would not have undertaken the huge
task of handling the largest annual
meeting of any organization in the
world. The press of the eastern and
middle western states has been filled
with column after column of illustrat-
ed matter telling in picture and words
the story of the scenic, climatic and in
dustrial attractiveuess of the state. The
thoughts of thousands of people who
have heretofore only regarded Utah as
a spot on the map have been turned
this way, and the result can only be
goOd-uuless our citizens may by any
chance fail now i'm the proper express
sion of that hospitality for which they
have grown famous. That, however, is
too remote a contingency to be cOnsid-
cred.

During the coming week salt Lake is
to have an extended program Of martial
music that is bound to excel anything
in that line in the history of the city.
The city will be full of bands bands

other states. They WILL OF course, keep
the city stirred up as never before with

listen to them will have ample oppor-
ttInity to tuck away in their memories

FREE QUARTERS.
D. II. CHRISTENSEN, Chairman.

We opened the free quarters head
quarters in the Commercial club build
ing today and before we closed last
night we had taken care Of LOCO or more
applicants. From 200 to 1859 cots have
been placed In the school houses, and
the executive director has a large num-
her in reserve. None of the cots has
vet been sent to the Judge Miners
home, but we have that building avail
able at any time we desire to use il.
The school houses are spacious and
are capable Of accommodating 600 or
700 persons each. Thus far we have put
into service only those buildings which
have the more spacious COrridors-the
Fremont, the Union and next the SUM
ner. If more are necessary they viii
be opened for the purpose. The Lafay-
cite building has been set apart for the
use of the musicians.
Altogether I think we can easily take
care Of 5000 persons.

CHAS E. WARREN, ChairmanI

Ny estimate Of the number of strang-
ers who will come to Salt Lake during
the encampment is below that of the
Grand Army people themselves, and il
may subject me to no little criticism:
but / can see IL no other way. l hope
] may be mistaken in my estimate, but
as / see il now ] am convinced in my
own mind that the number of people
who will be here from outside the state
or 1 should local points-will be about
5000 This number will come from the
territory east of Denver and from Cali
fornis and the Pacific coast. l think
this number VIII include all of the
Grand Army veterans and those who

campment-Telatives and friends. It

70. Logan and all the towns of Utah

Der who will be here next week would
be between 10000 and $1,000.

tation. / have met with every encour-

Things are humming with the COM
mittee on horses and carriages. and ev-
erything is arranged in tip-top shape.
We will be able 20 take care of all the
veterans throughout the week and to
this end we have engaged every car
riage in the city The liverymen have
been most generous. both i'm letting ev-
cry hack they own TO Us and in their
prices for them. We have upward Of
100 carriages. but the number available
at the stables were not sufficient to sup
ply the demand. and private families
who own carriages such as we want
have come 10 the front and offered them
gladly.
As 10 the saddle horses for the pa
Tade next Wednesday. / have secured
an even hundred. This number may
not be enough ia which event I shall
do my best TO secure more. We are
short of saddles. and would be slad to
have owners loan them to US for that
day.

DECORATIONS.
DR.. G. 3. PFoUTZ, Chairman.

Everything is completed for the deco
rating of the city for this weeks big
events. have every reason to be proud
of the work Of the committee OF which
] have the honor to be chairman, ana 1
have only words of praise for the pcO-
pie who did the decorating.
Hundreds Of people have expressed
themselves to me as being highly pleased
with the decorations. Many who have
seen the decorations at former cucamp-
ments declare without equivocation and
unquaiifiedly that the decorat tons we
have far surpt>s those of any of them.
in fact, L have heard no word of criti-
cism since we revised the plan under
which the decorators began their work.
The decorations viii be illuminated for
the first time Monday night. Nearly all
Of the lights are in place and all viii be
i'm readiness by Monday night. We
thought it best not to illuminate to-
night i'm order to give the light COM
pany. which has 50 generously offered
to give US the power an opportunity TO
put on the last finishing touches.
j would like to call especial attention
to the decorations in the tabernacle.
These were entirely the work Of the
Roster people, and is the third time this
scheme has been shown. The first time
the immense nag was so arranged was
i'm Madison Square garden, and it was
draped at the encampment at sara
tOga.
I would like to say a word, too, about
the decorations provided by the people
of salt Lake. The committee believes
they are beautiful and appropriate i'm
the highest degree. We feel that Salt
Lakes citizens have come forward in
the DrODer shirt and that they will
have their reward in the knowledge that
they have satisfied themselves and their
guests. G. 3. PFOUTZ.
