The opponents of the ordinance

order was temporary. for as soon as
Mayor Richard p Morris learned of
the action of Judge Armstrong he con
suited with City Attorney G G. Dey by
phone. Judge Dey called up Allen I.
Sanford. attorney for Thomas Homer,
and they met few moments later in
the council chamber. where the city
council was in session.

In view of the great interests in
VOlVed, Judge Dey and Mr. Sanford de-

so modify the temporary order as to
make il returnable before him at once,
and he went into his court room.

PROVO STREETS THRONGED
MANY OF THE BOOMERS TRAVEL
BY WAGON.
CspecIal to The Heraldl

- ROVO, Aug. 3.-Registration in
Provo today was $50. The trains
brought good deal of it. They
came from points near Provo, many
travelling down the canyon. Nearly all
those who registered today-and this
includes those who Travelled by wagon
left before night, some for their
homes, some for the reservation
Travel from Provo toward the reser-
walton is now on in earnest. The trav-
elers are nearly all using the regulation
covered wagon. the old time prairie
schooner They come altogether from
the Rocky mountain west, most of
them from Utah. Three or four Colo
RADIO parties started on the trip today.
One included the head of the family
his wife, children and burrO. They are
going to cross the reserve to Vernal
String of Wagons.
At the same time the wagons were
beginning to toll up the canyon an
other string was coming down for reg
lstration. These were i'm the majority.
Some of the parties came from Weber,
Kamas and Wasatch counties. Several
OF them had been on the road three
and four days.
Between these outgoing and incOm-
ing wagon trains Provo canyon was
kept lively all day long Dust clouds
seldom settled before others were ris-
ing to take their places. In the brush
that covers the river bottom camps
were frequent.
He Was Out For Business.
One of the oldest sights along this
canyon road was the travelling Office
of an enterprising notary. He had
been doing business in Provo until the
notaries seemed to him to have become
nearly as numerous as the homeseek-
ers. Then he determined to catch his
trade before it reached the others. He
placed small stand in his buggy and
on ii his seal. Thus equipped he drove
out up the canyon after business. As
he met incoming outfits he held them
up and his wisdom was rewarded by a
trade far ahead that of his brethren
back in town.
One Trick Turned.
Speaking of nOtaries-a nasty little
affair lost his position for one Provo
man. He made out lot of apDlica-
tions. including everything save names
and a few details. He sealed them
and gave them out among men who
sold them in the crowds at the regular
prices. When the thing was found out
the man was compelled to stop bust
ness A Salt Lake notary is accused
of having done the same thing.
