REGISTRATION OF NUMBERS OF CLAIMS DEQIN8. ONLY FIFTY ALLOWED TODAY Some of the Homesteaders Start for Their Possessions and Others Sell Their Chancen Immediately After They Have Registered. Vernal , Utah. Aug. 28. The hostel- rlea of this town nro taxed to their ittnoat capacity to take care of the largo crowdn of landHcckors assem bled hero to register their claims ac cording to the rotation In which the numbers of their claims were drawn nt Provo , Utah. According to the nr- rangomcnt of the commlsslonorn of public lands the claims were entered nt Bovornl points between August 1 and 12. The drawing at Provo deter mined the order In which the claims were to bo taken up nnd the homestead - stead registries made. Today only the first fifty of the fortunate claimants , whoso numbers were drawn were giv en nn opportunity to hnvo tholr home stead claims registered. Many of them Bold out their land right after the reg istration of tholr claims nt good fig ures. ures.Tho The roBcrvatlon which Is now being opened to settlement , comprises 245- 000 acres , wnllod In on three sides by the TJnlntnh and Wasatch ranges and extending on Its eastern slope to the Green river , whoso tributaries drnln It. For Its greater part It Is n waste , apparently worthless , but thcro nro many spots which can bo used for a rlcnltural purposes to advnntnge. Be sides that there are rich deposits of Gllflonlto nnd oven gold nnd silver to bo found In different localities on the reservation , although the exact locn. tlnn of the deposits Is not yet definite ly known. Of the total area over 1,000,000 acres hnvo been placed In permanent forest preserve which guards the timber but docs not stop the mine hunters. 250 , ' 000 ncres have been reserved for the Indians to graze their herds ; 3,840 ncres have been taken for the Fort Dechesno military reservation ; 2,000 have been allotted to the Indians In severally. This leaves about 1,070,000 acres to actual settlers. Of this re maining area about three-fourths are practically valueless for agricultural purposes , but the rest Is very dcslrn bio. More of the land- may bo made available by Irrigation. Today thcro Is no railroad nearer than forty miles to the reservation , but the fact that Gtlsonlto Is found on the reservation , will soon change this. The newly built Ulntah railway from Mack , Col. , to Its present terminus at Dragon , Utah , which serves the pur pose of hauling Gllsonlto from the mines at Dragon , will quickly be ex tended , to connect with the Gllsonlte deposits In various parts of the reser vation. That will bo of great help to the settlers and will considerably crease the value of their lands. O'NEILL ' WILLJjAVE RACES Meeting of Holt County Agrlcultura Society In October.

An Indian from Alaska is ono of the lending men In "The Carnival of Ven ice , " the big spectacular production by Bolssy Klrnlfy nt the Portland expo sition. This Indian is a singer of won derful power nnd nn actor of consid erable merit. His ancestors , down to his Immediate parents , were ordinary Indians far up In Alaska , and until a few years ago the singer himself had no knowledge of the outside world or of the science of music. The man's name Is Charles Cutter. He takes the Important part of "Urlclo" In the play , which calls for singing qualities. Cutter formerly was a pupil In the Indian training school nt Chonawa Oregon. Ho entered Chemwa about six years ago from Metlnkahtla , Alas ka , and took up the carpenter trade , nnd Mrs. W. P. Campbell , who had charge of the music of the school soon discovered his voice nnd gave him special vocal Instruction. Three years ago Cutter sang at the chautau qua at Gladstone park , near Portland on Indian day and captured his and ! once. In the audience was ono of the musical professors of Portland , who made an arrangement with the schoo authorities so that Cutter moved to Portland , continued working at his trade and devoting his spare time to the further cultivation of his voice , until today ho stands In the front rank. The Indian Is the only westerner In the cast , the others having been brought from New York and other eastern cities. CORN ADVANCING RAPIDLY Crop Bulletin for the Week Shows a Normal Condition.
