Vernal, Utah. Aug. 2.--The registra-
ton for the drawing of land on the

ly here. The registration point at
Grand Junction has caught the greater
majority Of those from the east, many
of whom would have come on to this

FEVER SITUATION
NOT FAVORABLE
Continued from Page /.

Governor Blanchard has ordered
Captain Bostfck OF the naval brigade
TO impress the fleet OF patrol boats
of the oyster commission into service
now i'm possession of the Mississippi
boats. One Of these oyster boats has
already been dispatched TO the Rigo-
lets, the neck of water connecting Lake
Pontchartrain with. Lage Borgne. and
late tonight or tomorrow morning a
launch filled with rapid fire guns from
the naval brigade armory and manned
by officers and crew from the brigade
VIII leave for the scene.
Both Captain BOstick and General
Perilliat submitted reports as TO the
result of their Investigations. Both
dispatched officers TO the scene today
ana they learned enough to confirm
the first reports of the invasion and
the action Of the Mississippi patrol
boat in closing Louisiana waters to
Louisiana fishermen. The Rigolets
draw bridge on which the Louisville
&5-Nashville railroad crosses. IL Is con-
tended here, is five miles from the
Mississippi line and distinctly i'm Louis
lana territory and, it is added, does not
even come under the territory now in
dispute before the supreme court of
the United States. II was found to-
day that a man named Blunt. claim
ing to be in charge of the Mississippi
patrol in these waters, had stationed
himself on the bridge armed with two
shot guns and forced the bridgekeeper
from opening the draw to allow boats
to pass out from Lake Pontchartrain
into Lake BOrgne. Many other COM
plants also have been received.
There are eighteen boats now at Ship
island which were captured by the
patrol and tOwed by the revenue cut
ter Winona to Ship island quarantine
station. It is claimed that every one
of these vessels was taken in Louis
lana waters.
Another complication has developed
in the same connection The British
ship Brayhead of the Head line, after
completing her cargo in New Orleans
stopped at the Mississippi side of Lake
Borgne canal to get a deck load of
lumber but the Mississippi boats abso-
lutely refused to allow a tug to go
to the mouth of Pearl river TO get
the barge and RATS. The Brayhead
was obliged TO leave without the cargo
and the agents and the owners will
lay the matter before the British gov
eminent.

He would, of course" said Mr.. Tan

Commissioner Richards, when he was
asked about the water question as a
general proposition, put it this way:
when a man files on his land he
should be prepared to put in his appli-

has done everything he can and placed
himself in the right position"
Those who have been over the res

They are, however, of the opinion that
the landholder should protect himself
by getting his water right as soon as
possible; then he Is in shape to go
ahead and buy water or to combine
with other landholders in getting it.

Provo, Aug. 2.-Today's registration
in Provo was SIS. OF this number most
names came In this morning. A line
was waiting at the Proctor academy
when the clerks came and a small
crowd at the Parker school. These
were soon used UP. and groups kept
coming from then on until noon. In
the afternoon they were fewer.
Salt Lake people began to arrive to-
day. They came on the early morning
trains, and many of them left for home
before noon. The biggest part OF the
Salt Lake delegation is coming next
week according to those from the
capital who have registered.
Tintic, Eureka, Park City and other
mining camps have sent in their ad-
vance guards. Many of the Tintic dis
Several trains arrived from that sec
ton this evening. According to their
occupants most of the Tintic crowd
viii look about with view to getting
mineral locations provided they fall
through on the homestead proposition.
In spite of a big diminution in the
street throngs. which began as soon
as the circus folded its tents last night,
Provo is still well filed with strangers,
but all of these are now homeseeksrs.
Utah's men still make up the bulk of
these crowds. Other Rocky mountain
states have a sprinkling. Kansas is
still in evidence. And occasionally you
run across an easterner. Generally he
has stopped off en- route to the coast.
Once in a while he came for the open
ing.
But the glamor of free land has not
yet drawn many moths. Men who have
seen other openings maintain that these

cations point to a pretty steady drop
ping in from now on until a few days
before the 18th. Then there may be a
repetition of yesterday.
