NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
When the hour of o'clock is re-
corded this evening the doors of
the four registration offices which
for the past two weeks have re-
corded the names of the thou
sands who desire free homes in the
great Uintah reservation will be
closed and he who has not regis
tered at that time will not have
another opportunity to try his for
tune in the great land drawing.
The count at the Grand Junction
office will show that the total for the
II days will exceed 5000. Provo
will probably reach 1000. and
Price and Vernal will have a joint
total of about 5000. The aggregate
total will not fall far below $4,000.
The total for yesterday at the
Grand Junction Office ran higher
than il was expected. When the
count was made in the afternoon. af-
ter the closing hour. it was found
that 1.46S names had been regis
tered during the day.
For the ten days of registration
ending last night 1886 registra-
tions had been made at Grand juno
ton.
Had the Colorado Midland train
No. 103 reached the city on time
yesterday afternoon, the total would
have been several hundred higher.
The train did not reach the city un-
"a nh ~ q
with homeseekers, there being be-
tween 400 and 500 passengers for
Grand Junction on board.
Many of those who came in on the
delayed train were hot because the
Office did not keep open late in or
der to accommodate them. At 8
O'Clock last night a large number OF
men who came in too late to regis
ter yesterday took their places in
front of the Auditorium to stay there
all night. fearing that If they waited
until today to get in line that they
might not get a chance to register;
so, for the first time since Monday
night. July 81, people stood in line
all night in order to register early
this morning.
The narrow gauge train last night
brought in big crowd. and trains
Nos. 5. 105 and / last night and this
morning brought in several hundred
people.
The streets of the city were
crowded last night until a late hour
with hundreds of strangers. 1t was
not a very easy matter last night to
secure accommodations in the way
of sleeping apartments. Many of the
temporary lodging houses had closed
down. However, everybody finally
secured comfortable quarters.
Long before O'Clock this morn
ing there were several hundred peo-
pie in front of the Auditorium. The
Ioors were opened at 1880 o'clock,
the clerks starting early on what
gave promise of being a very busy
day. At the time of opening at least
700 people were in line. The men
who had passed the night in waiting
looked tired and sleepy, but were
soon registered and started out al
once to look for beds.
There were 80 or 40 ladies' in line
when the doors opened. Not many To-
cal people were in the line, 1t beihs
made up almost entirely of strangers
who came in yesterday afternoon or
last night. 100
Before 10 O'Clock more than zoo
people had registered, and from thai
