PROVO CITY.
In point of population Provo City ranks third. It is fourth in com- mercial importance, a condition due, however, to circumstances which Provo was unable to control and which, while largely mitigated, are still not entirely overcome. Provo was settled in 1849, by John and Isaac Higbee and some thirty others, who built a fort near the present site of Provo, the spot being now designated as the "Fort Field." The building of a fort was absolutely necessary in those days, to the protection of life and property from assault by Indians, who were then very troublesome. Provo, of the four principal cities in the Territory, was retarded most in its material prog- ress by raids of savages; and several serious encounters took place between them and the settlers. Like the other large cities, however, so much valu- able land, such an abundance of water was to be found, and so inviting were the grazing sections, that the hardy pioneers flocked rapidly to the new founded centre, and soon the population became so large as to allay all fears of danger from Indian raids, in the vicinity of Provo at least. As has already been stated, the character of the people who settle a section is best seen by the work done. It could not be expected of a class of people who had dared and endured the trials of a long weary march of 1,000 miles, that they would fail of making a success in any direction in which they turned their energies. And when a site had been chosen, the work of making permanent homes was pushed vigorously ahead. The place of first settlement, while it is still in the corporate limits, is about a mile west of the town proper. The situation is on the bank of the Provo River, about half way between the lake and the city. As the danger from Indian raids grew less, and the pop- ulation became larger, settlers moved out and began to centre on the site of Provo as it now stands, it offering, even in the earlier days, desirable advantages for a town. Provo is the oldest place in Utah County; but has held its own in opposition to the thrift of the times with which it is sur- rounded, only by the energy, determination and enterprise of the men who inhabited it in later years; while but little neglect would have been necessary for Springville, Spanish Fork or Payson to put forth such efforts as would cause any one of the cities named to become its honest rival. The town- site of Provo-in fact of nearly all the cities in Utah County-was surveyed by Mr. A. J. Stewart, and Provo became an incorporated city as early as February 6, 1851, and is thus as old as Ogden. In 1864 the old charter was repealed and the present charter, much broader in its scope, was granted, to which also, numerous amendments have been made. The first election was held in April following the same year the charter was granted, when Ellis Eames was elected mayor; William Pace, Harlow Redfield, David Canfield, and Samuel Clark, aldermen; Gilbert Haws, James R. Ivie, William M. Wall, Chauncey Turner, George A. Smith, J. O. Duke, David Cluff, R. R. Rogers and Thomas G. Wilson, councilors. From that day to the present time the development of Provo has marked the permanent growth of the county of which that city is the capital.
At the last session of the Legislative Assembly the boundary lines of Provo were changed and are now as follows: "Commencing on the west bank of Provo River at a point where the north line of Section 7, Township 6, south of Range 3 east, intersects the said river; thence southerly along the west bank of the said river to a point where the north section line of Sec- tion 36, Township 6, south of Range 2 east, intersects the said river: thence west to the northwest corner of Section 35, Township 6, south of Range 2 east; thence south to the north bank of Provo River: thence west along the north bank of said river to the shore of Utah Lake; thence southerly and easterly along the shore of said lake, to a point where the quarter section line running east and west, through Section 18, Township 7, south of Range

3 east, intersects the shore of said lake; thence east to the east line of Sec- tion 17, Township 7, south of Range 3 east; thence north to the northeast corner of Section 17, township 6, south of Range 3 east; thence west to the southwest corner of Section 8, Township 6, south of Range 3 east; thence north to the northwest corner of said Section 8; thence west to the point of beginning.'
The history of Provo City must be recorded without reference to any spasmodic display of energy. All improvements have been of slow, but absolutely permanent growth; every step was taken when fully considered, only. There has never been occasion to retrace; an industry once planted or commenced, became fixed. Slowly and sure; "they trip that run fast," has ever been the motto of Provo City, and of Utah County. Thus the character of the community is stamped upon all public acts. The firm, unfailing confidence in the outgrowth of honest efforts; the unwillingness to yield to obstacles that have seemed insuperable, when judgment had already declared the undertaking possible, are community characteristics that have won for Provo City a position as one of the four principal cities of the Ter- ritory.
In some regards, the situation is all that could be desired; but, in a commercial sense, it has been unfortunate for her that she was so close to Salt Lake. The site is naturally adapted for extensive growth; while its agricultural areas and almost unlimited water powers would give it prominence and prosperity were other conditions wanting. Provo holds the position, as to Southern Utah, that Logan does to the north; but, unlike Logan, has been unable to reap the advantages of that situation. Until the completion of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railway, the only rail communication Provo had with the outside world was by means of the Utah Central Railway, and as all goods had to pass through Salt Lake, Provo was held as tributary to the Territorial metropolis, while the whole market offered by Southern Utah fell almost exclusively into the hands of Salt Lake merchants. It was entirely different both with Ogden and Logan, as they were independent of Salt Lake City: the former, besides having the same advantage over Salt Lake City that Salt Lake City possessed over Provo, had in addition the prestige that naturally fell to a point at which centered two of the greatest railroads in the world. Despite these disadvantages, however, Provo developed steadily, produced a surplus and held her own in the race with all towns save the Territorial capital. As the people of North- ern Utah built eighty miles of the Utah & Northern Railroad, so also the people of Utah County, and mainly of Provo, organized, it is claimed, the first Co-operative Mercantile Institution in the Territory, and founded also the Timpanogos Manufacturing Company-the Provo Woolen Manufactur- ing Company of to-day. This company was organized July 12, 1872, though the work of building the mills began prior to 1870. This mill is not only the largest institution of the kind in the Territory, but in the west; and it is unlikely that its capacity will be exceeded, or even equaled in the next decade. The buildings number four: one 140x60 feet, four stories high; one 130x30 feet, two and a half stories high; one 70x30 feet; and one 60x30 feet. There are in the mills four "mules" with 3,240 spindles, machinery for carding, dyeing and preparing 2,000 pounds of wool per day; and 115 looms, broad and narrow, which turn out superior fabrics. Two hun- dred and ten thousand dollars is the amount invested in this enterprise, which is conducted on the co-operative principle. For a number of years, the investment proved a failure; but confidence in its future was unshaken and it is now on the road to that prosperity which so colossal an undertaken has merited from the beginning. The sentiment of the people as regards the future of Provo is exemplified in the unfailing trust in the outcome of the woolen mills. So all public undertakings have been viewed; the idea of
357

the present has seldom been entertained; all has been done with a view to future development. The completion of the Denver and Rio Grande gave to Utah County and to Provo, as its capital, advantages equal to those of the three other important cities, and the rapid strides made since then have been noteworthy. Times were unsatisfactory all over the Territory in 1883, and vet Provo spent between $200,000 and $300,000 in new buildings. The completion of the new through line, was followed by the disastrous "cut rate war," which has proven of so much injury to the Territory. Provo merchants, notwithstanding a drawback of so serious a nature, put forth efforts equal to the occasion and began to draw to themselves much of the business that had formerly belonged to Salt Lake, and was no longer forced to submit to tributary payments to that city. This is an important point gained in favor of Provo's commercial importance; and following up this advantage, it is certain to make rapid strides in the future. The idea has long been entertained by the people that Provo was destined to be a manu- facturing town. Be the idea whatever it may, the encouragement now being received by the Provo Woolen Manufacturing Company, will give countenance to future manufacturing undertakings. Occupying the posi- tion Provo does, with the whole of Southern Utah open for commercial enterprise, it is impossible to resist the conclusion that the capital of Utah County will grow with greater rapidity during the coming years than had been dreamed of before, unless the merchants should prove negligent to the opportunity now offered them; and it is very unlikely such should be the case. Character and foundation is given to Provo because of the wealth of farming land in Utah County, and its power to produce a large surplus in varied directions. There is little doubt that Provo will never occupy a rank in the Territory less than she holds to-day. What possibilities the future may hold in store is hardly a fit subject for speculation in this con- nection.
The Brigham Young Academy, now being built; the Territorial Insane Asylum and Utah County Court House, are located here. The location is most pleasant and healthful; the finest mountains in the Wasatch Range being on the east, the beautiful sheet of water, Utah Lake, on the west; the hotel accommodations are admirable: living is cheap; all city advantages are to be had; there are denominational churches: four ecclesiastical wards in the city, in which are four Latter-day .Saints' meeting houses, while a fine new Stake Tabernacle is nearing completion. The educational opportunities, for common and academic education are ample. Everything is prosperous, and the conditions unite the laborer, the capitalist and the health and pleasure- seeker alike.
The first paper published in Provo was the Times, a daily, owned and edited by Messrs. R. G. Sleater, Joseph T. McEwan and Oscar F. Lyons. It afterwards changed hands and the Territorial Enquirer was, and is still issued, semi-weekly, by J. C. Graham. The general belief is that in a short time Utah County's capital will have a daily newspaper.
Here follows a complete general directory of Provo City:

GENERAL DIRECTORY OF PROVO CITY.
Key to the Naming of Streets and Bounding of Wards in Provo City:
Beginning at the extreme western end of Provo City and continuing to the eastern part of the town, the streets are named alphabetically in their order, as A. B. C. D., etc. Beginning at the south end of the town, (on the same street as the Utah Central Railway Depot is situated) and continu- ing to the northern part, the streets are called numerically in order, as First, Second, Third, Fourth, etc. The First Ward is in the southeastern part of Provo, and is bounded by Centre or Seventh street on the north, and on the west by F street. The Second Ward, following the First on the west, is bounded on the east by F street, and on the north by Centre or Seventh street. To the north of the Second Ward is the Third Ward, and H street bounds it on the east; H street is two blocks east of F street, and is the street through which runs the Factory Mill Race. The Fourth Ward follows the Third Ward on the east; Centre street bounds it on the south, and it continues to the northern and eastern suburbs of the city. The Fifth Ward is in Lake View Precinct, to the west of Provo. It is in the same bishopric as the other wards, but it is not included in the Provo municipality.
