GUESTS LEAVING
BY THOUSANDS
Salt Lake Is Praised by All for
Her Handling of G. A. R.
EnCampment.
CROWD is ESTIMATED
BIG ATTENDANCE is CREDITED
TO CITY AND THE STATE.

Thousands Of veterans and their
friends waited last evening until after
the parade of the living flag and the
Wizard Of the Wasatch before taking
their leave Of Salt Lake. All of the
trains leaving Salt Lake yesterday, and
especially the trains leaving late last
night, took away thousands. Trains to
Seattle and the Yellowstone park have
been packed with departing encamp-
ment visitors.
On last nights train for the Seattle
exposition General Henry NJ. Nevius,
retiring cOmmander-in-chief, and Mrs
Nevius; Governor Samuel r. Van SAINT
the new commander-in-chief, and Mrs.
Samuel r. Van SAINT, accompanied by
the national staff officers and a large
number Of other prominent G. A. r.
men, left to be present at the G.. A r.
day at the fair.
Some few Of the G. A r. men. in
Guiding Judge Ell Torrance, past COM
mander-in-chief OF the G. A R., who
have been so busy with G. A. r. work
that they have had little time for sight
seeing, viii remain in Salt Lake for a
few days. The large majority Of the
encampment visitors, however, have left
the city.
Invaluable Advertising.
Win the QGpdI li1E DlQ bululGI guests
OF Salt Lake goes an advertisement to
the city that is invaluable. Prior 20
their coming to Salt Lake many Of the
old soldiers and some of the other
guests were uncertain as to the quality
Of the people here and in Utah. Their
loyalty and patriotism had been ques-
toned and the visitors were a bit du-
bious before coming to Salt Lake. To
these people an agreeable surprise was
in store.
The members Of the Grand Army are
unanimous in the declaration that they
we're never better entertained at any
encampment and that the people Of Salt
Lake and Utah give way to no other
people in national loyalty and patriotic
expression.
Every detail Of the encampment was
handled in such a creditable manner
through the cooperation Of all Of the
people and the individual effort Of each
citizen that there was not a single hitch
IN the arrangements that was not i'm
mediately remedied.
There was scarcely a thing during the
entire encampment to mar its glorious
success.
Crowd Is Estimated.
With the departing Of the veterans
estimates on the total crowds during the
encampment are being made. An aver
age OF the estimates Of different rail-
road men of the city makes the total
attendance approximately $4,000.
OF these between $1,000 and 10000
were members Of the G. A. r. This at
tendance compares favOrably with the
crowds at other C. A. r. encampments
farther east.
Considering the fact that Salt Lake is
several thousand miles west Of the cen
ter of the old soldier population Of the
country, and that the undertaking Of
the long journey westward was a Sc
riOus one for the old soldiers, now well
advanced in years, the large attendance
is d remarkable tribute to the enter
prise Of those who aided largely I'm
