The registration Saturday at the
Grand Junction offices proved to be
the heaviest since the second day
When the count was made by the
clerks after the close of the doors at
half past 4 O'Clock it was found that
,l&3 people had entered their names
upon the registration books The
registration was heavier in the af-
ternoon than in the morning. owing
to the hundreds of people that came
in from the east at noon. The total
for Saturday exceeded that of Friday
by 341.
During the six days ending Satur-
day afternoon 6,036 people regis
tered at Grand Junction. The regis
tration at Provo for these six days
exceed the total for Grand Junction
by about 400.
The reports from Nernal, Price
and Provo for Friday show that the
registration at Provo for that day
was considerably heavier than al
Grand Junction, while the other
towns had but light registrations.
At Provo Friday 91S people regis
tered, an increase OF 2S over the day
before. and 1876 over the total for
Grand Junction for that day. over
700 of these people registered be
fore noon. II is stated that the ma
jority of people who have registered
at Provo so far have been residents
of Utah. Not many eastern people
have registered there. Grand June
tion is getting nearly all of the east
ern homeseelSers. Many tourists
bound for Portland register at Pro
vo.
A roulette wheel was shipped into
Provo by some parties, but. owing to
the bitter opposition to any form OF
gambling, the wheel has not been
taken out of the express office.
Must Go To Land Office.
Friday afternoon a representative
of the Salt Lake Herald informed
Commissioner Richards that some at
torney in Salt Lake City had given
the opinion that any person who had
drawn a number entitling him to en-
ter land on the reservation could
land commissioner and need not go
TO Vernal to make the entry at the
land office. Some people in Grand
Junction have gotten hold of this
idea and IL will be well to disabuse
their minds of this fallacy. Regard
ing the matter, Commissioner Rich
ards states that the man who made
that statement should read the pres
ident's proclamation, and Richarus
proceeded to discuss the matter al
length He stated that the act OF
congress, approved on march 3, 1903,
provides how the reservation shall
| be opened. and provides that the
proclamation of the president shall
prescribe the manner in which these
| lands may be obtained. The follow
/ ing paragraphs read together and in
connection with the rest of the pro
| lamation show very clocely that the
| only way the land can be entered Is
| by personal application and presen-
tation of the certificate at the Yer
nal land office:
| Commencing on Monday. August
| 2S. 1905, at o'clock a. m, the ap-
pIications of those drawing numbers
! to 80. inclusive, must be present
ed at the land office in the town OF
| Vernal. Utah. in the land district in
which said lands are situated, and
will be considered in their numerical
| order during the first day, and the
| applications of those drawing mum
| hers 81 to 100 inclusive. must be
presented and will be considered IN
! their numerical order during the sec
ond day, and so on at that rate until
all said lands subject to entry under
| the homestead law. and desired
! hereunder, have been entered. II
any applicant fails to appear ana pre-
