President Rees Says Advices
Indicate Record Crowds
During Conclave Here.
GIVE BOOST
Royal Reception Planned; Ex-
hibit Hall Will Be Crowded
With Displays.

President VIII Recs OF the Salt Lake
Master Plumbers association Is in receipt
OF communications from several organi-
cations in various parts OF the United
states that give indications OF 4 large
attendance at the national convention tc
be held here the week OF July Il. upor
this feature OF the meeting Mr.. Rce'
yesterday said:
There is no doubt at all I'm my mind
that the Salt Lake convention viii
make a western record FOR attendance.
We are going 20 get great benefit in
this respect from the Shriners who
went to the national meeting at Los
Angeles. These are talking IN the
east about the wonders of the west,
and their reports OF what they found
here are inducing spirit OF curl
osity In others TO come out and see
the country.
Thomas J. Young, a master plumber
of Mobile. Ala. who was here last
Monday. assures us that he will him
self come TO Salt Lake for the con-
vention, and that lie will make 1t
point TO Induce as many others as
possible 10 Join him. George Smith
a master plumber OF Chicago, is here
today and he tells me that Chicago
will send a big delegation. His esti-
mate Is that upward Of 5000 persons
viii be here for the national conFcn-
ton.
A letter from San Francisco informs
our local association that the master
plumbers Of that city will be here
more than 100 strong. while Los An
Seles Will send a special car OF dele
gates,
Our local association will send
special committee to meet the official
train, bearing the national officers
to the convention. Our committee
will meet and join this train at
Pueblo on the morning OF Saturday,
July Is. and it will reach here sun
day, July II.
The exhibit hall in this city Will be
crowded with displays. Negotiations
arc now pending for the two or three
remaining spaces. and 1t looks as If
we shall have insufficient space 10
accommodate all who desire TO make
exhibits.
We have reached a point at this
time where we have no doubt con-
corning the success of the national
convention here, both in the matter OF
attendance and the good that 1T VIII
do for the city. Our chief concern
now Is To have perfect arrangements
for the entertainment OF delegates,
and these are being made so rapidly
and thoroughly that We feel confident
OF aCquitting ourselves creditably to
our organiza ton and to Salt Lake
City.

Weather Spoils Day.

Beginning in The small hours Of the
morning, ram fell in Salt Lake and
vicinity Yesterday. Sometimes it was
drenching downpour that overflowed
the cutters and flooded parts OF the
streets and some Of the sidewalks At
other times it came IN miserable
drizzlc that served only to aggrevat-
iugly prevent enjoyment of the day. In
fact the weather of the afternoon was
OF that sort, with not enough precipita
tion to call it rain, but with Just suf
ficient TO spoil the day.
Trains to Saltair during the after
noon carried few passengers. AS the
sun came out for brief time, Just af
ter 5 o'clock, there was Il slight in
crease in the traffic.
The warm bathing pool, which has

able feature to those who We're deter
mined to have "A Decoration day bath
anyway.
The three trains which went out 10
Saltair after o'clock last night were
crowded with cxcursionlsts, the weather
having cleared by that time. with prom.
ise OF remaining clear for the night.
Each of these trains was composed of
| ten passenger coaches, and all were
| filled with pleasure seekers, the major
| ity of whom went out to enjoy Ianc1ng

disappointment Of the day, the activity
Of night at the resort was the more pro-
nouuced, seekers for pleasure seeming

Excursionists TO Lagoon were few
during the afternoon. and those who
did go out TO the beautiful place were
compelled to coufne their activities to
the boweries and the pavilion. The
bicycle road race from this city 10

most OF the riders were prepared and
