Calls came from the railroad stations early in the morning that numbers of visitors to the encampment had arrived and desired to know ,whero to go. Scarcely had thesb nciv arrivals been disposed of when others were received stating that there were additional people peo-ple to bo cared for, and tho committees immediately started a strong campaign for providing for visitors, and even took steps to put into action the regular regu-lar sj'stcm of guides and information bureaus which has been a minced. Hurry-Up Calls Made. It had been intended to havo the information booths ready by Sunday morning at the earliest, and the arrival of more than 1000 visitors, including many veterans, by trains over both tho Orogon Short Line and the Denver & Rio Grando caused a sudden move on tho part of all reception committees to caro for tho newcomers, Tho high school cadets, who had not expected to be called upon so soon, were hastily pressed into scrvieo. twenty-four hours ahead of time,, and the booths wlych were being hold until Sunday were put into place and captains and guides installed. in-stalled. A visit to headquarters of tho women's wom-en's citizens committeo showed a scene of great activity. Every one was busy receiving veterans and "assigning them to headquarters. Two tall, gaunt veterans presented themselves at tho ofllcc of Judge O'Ncall, assistant execu-tivo execu-tivo director, and said: ""Wo want a furlough." '.'Granted." said tho judge, and the bluo-coated veterans departed de-parted smiling broadly, to see something some-thing of the cit3p and possibly meet some of their comrades ot earlier times. All sorts of requests were made by incoming visitors and members of reception re-ception committees were often overwhelmed over-whelmed b3' the different things do-sired, do-sired, and were put to their wits' ends to find them. Most of tho inquiries concerned accommodations, as might bo supposed, and tho visitors were assigned as-signed to rooms as rapidl' as possible, and often placed on tho cars so that there would bo no danger of missing tho way in tho strango city. There were accommodations asked for parties of; men, parties of women, small famines, fam-ines, single men and 6inglc women until un-til thcro seemed to bo ho cud to the arrangements desired. All Citizens Aro Busy. Throughout tho entire afternoon and evening, guides and assistants at information infor-mation booths and even officers of committees com-mittees took in hand the new arrivals and cheerfully answered all questions, Lh the streets all over the city every citizen appealed to for information seemed to consider himself a special committeo of one for reception, and newly arrived visitors were directed to headquarters in the Commercial club building, whero they were properlv cared for. Already indications point to an attendance at-tendance even larger than was expected by the most enthusiastic committeo man. Tho early arrival of the votcraus, tho crowding of regular trains two days before be-fore the encampment and the rush on headquarters for accommodations long before they were expected, is regarded as an indication that peoplo nre coming from a distance and that the special trains will bring crowds which will swell tho atteudauco well towards the highest estimate horotoforo placed by anyone. The fact that most of tho new arrivals ar-rivals havc.no quarters assigned shows that the people who nro coming at tho present time havo decided only- at tho last minute to come to tho encampment. encamp-ment. This is always the case, it is said, .but it is not usual to find visitors visit-ors coming so far in advaneo of tho aiiair who havo not alroady arranged for their accommodations. 'These peoplo peo-plo who are coming aro Tank and file and havo evidently come in order to be on time, honco they constitute an entirely en-tirely unaccountable element; who cannot can-not bo reckonod upon until their arrival. ar-rival. Execntivo Committeo Meets. At tho mooting of tho executive committee com-mittee of tho G. A.

The attendance at-tendance was lnrgo. Many members of the committee, including May'or Bransford, chairman: Colonel Slorrctt, oxocutivo director; W. ,T. Halloran. Governor Gov-ernor Spry and others expressed themselves them-selves us well pleased at the manner affairs woro going. "Tho attendance appears to bo all that wo havo expected," said Mayor Bransford.
