The .long lines of men and women who desire to enter their names on the registration lists today began to form, at midnight. There are two places of registration, both close to the business district. Every convenience has been provided for the men and clerks. The greatest crowd was at the Parker Park-er school, where, at 9 a. m., there were by actual !ount 69T men and women. At the Proctor academy there were at the same time 521 in line. L. As soon as the line began to form there was a series of short and sharp truggles for place, but these little dis-tiirbances dis-tiirbances were quickly and summarily sTuelched . by the many efficient and Marless officers who had been engaged --f .r the occasion.

These sli?s were numbered consecutively and signed by the officers In charge of the registration registra-tion office, and entitled the holders to leave the lines and get their breakfast at daylight. It was a noticeable fact, however, that not one whose number was lower than 200 left the line until after he had registered. The many women in line were ac-i ac-i corded the most courteous treatment ,Jby their male companions. The American, Ameri-can, gentleman in plain clothes was everywhere in evidence and he served the women with noticeable chivalry in . many instances. For instance, in many cases the women were allowed to take precedence in the. line and were thus relieved hours before their time. Three Arrests at Night. There was, a record of only three arrests ar-rests last night. These were for dls- orderly conduct and drunkenness. The men who are here are here for business, busi-ness, not for rowdyism. Mayor Roylance, Judge D. D. Houtz and other citizens of like 'prominence remained upon the streets until long past midnight doing duty fts special . police officers. These helped many under un-der the Influence of liquor to get off .the streets. ' i Mayor Roylance said today that there were last night no less than 6000 strangers within the gates of the city and that there would be 15,000 more today. to-day. This prediction has been fully realized, for every incomings train has been crowded to its capacity. - Many Grizzled Veteran. . . In the lines were many grizzled and gray veterans of the G. A. R.

Provo Is crowded today with a typical home-seekers home-seekers crowd. Men In khaki suits, men in overalls, and men in their shirt sleeves are standing in line awaiting the chance to register for a home, awaiting in . many Instances to get the opportunity, from the Government to j start again in life's battle. It is an orderly crowd that is thronging throng-ing Provo today, and any reports to I the contrary are misleading. The town Is thoroughly policed, and every precaution pre-caution has been taken to protect the throngs of honest. Industrious : home- -seekers from imposition and ' robbery.' Sheriff Harmon and Town Marshal Henry have done remarkably . well in their efforts to preserve peace and order or-der In the town. Many Experienced Men. Sheriff Harmon's regular force consists con-sists of himself and three deputies. To this force he has added three experienced experi-enced crook-catchers,, all of whom have-had have-had wide experience in the preservation preserva-tion of the law. These men are on duty from sixteen to eighteen hours a day, and hare done, much to preserve the' peace. ..'... Town Marshal Henry has -added twenty experienced, fearless men to his regular staff of five, giving a police force of thjrty-two, which, at this time, is considered adequate. Mayor Roylance Roy-lance has given Marshal Henry full power to employ as many extra men as he may require. It Is estimated that there were at ' ' v. ... . - 1 V " . - 1 least 3000 strangers in the city last night, and yet Provo has done herself proud in the matter of caring for them. A city of tents in fact, two cities of tents sprang up during Sunday and Monday, and these, with the regular regu-lar hotels and rooming-houses and the private residences that have been thrown, open, with open-hearted hospitality, hos-pitality, have thus far furnished ample accommodatiod to the crowds. Food Is in Abundance. Food there is In plenty, and of good quality. The people of Provo, naturally natural-ly proud of their beautiful little city by the lake, have had apirlt of civic .pride, that has prompted them to shelter shel-ter the transients and feed them at the regular rates. Thus far there has been no Increase In prices for food and beds. A good meal can be had for a half-dollar, half-dollar, and rooms vary in price according ac-cording to location and convenience. Last night the crowds were orderly In the extreme. The streets were crowded until long after midnight, with men of all classes and descriptions, descrip-tions, yet not a case of violence or robbery rob-bery or theft was reported to either the Sheriff or the Town Marshal after nightfall. The streets presented a picturesque appearance. Men lounged in and out of the saloons, which did not close their doors at all, and discussed the different phases of the land situation. Notaries did a rushing business during .the twenty-four hours preceding the opening open-ing of the registration offices. Have Special Commissions. . These notaries had( special commissions commis-sions granted them by Commissioner Richards, and were permitted to nil out citizenship papers and registration papers pa-pers at any time before the opening of the offices for registration. " But none of these papers could be sworn to before be-fore midnight. The offices of the notaries, no-taries, which were usually in tents or empty store buildings, were crowded day and night wltu men and. tew. women who desired to have their papers pa-pers prepared for the oaths, which were administered from midnight on. At midnight the applicants for papers pa-pers lined up, fifty and a hundred deep, at the office of every notary, and there were fifty-three of them, taking oaths as fast as the notaries could affix their signatures and their seals to the Precious Pre-cious documents. As soon as the papers were properly sworn, the holders would begin a mad rush for the line of men at the two registration offlices, where they prepared pre-pared to wait until 9 o'clock this morning, morn-ing, when these offices opened. City Hall Camping Ground. City hall square looked like the camping ground of an army in the field last night. There were 125 white canvas can-vas tents, 6x8 feet In size, each containing con-taining two woven wire cots. In each tent were two men who paid 50 cents each for the privilege of spending the' ntght there, near the notary offices, and not too far from the registration offices. , Near the tents Is a great eating-house, eating-house, fifty feet long and twenty feet wide, with a kitchen at the rear. This . Is entirely screened in and not a fly can enter. Clean as a New England country home, the place looks inviting to the hungry. A policeman and 'a deputy sheriff patrol the streets of the city of tents day and night to prevent depredations by sneak thieves and grafters. Not a loss was reported from there up to midnight last night. Provo merchants are doing a "land office business" in. every branch of trade. Outfitting houses have been forced to Increase their regular forces and stores were kept open two hours later than usual last night in order to serve those who desired to purchase anything from a sack of cigarette tobacco to-bacco to six months' rations.
