That this efficiency of administration is the 

 true reason for the creation of provinces may 

 be seen from the fact that the Dominion gov- 

 ernment takes over only such rights and such 

 powers as the best interests of the provinces 

 demand. In such matters as affect the people 

 in their relation to the province the central 

 government yields its control to the provincial 

 authorities, assuming the direction only in such 

 matters as concern all the people of all the 

 provinces. In effect, each province is the su- 

 preme authority so far as the everyday needs 

 of its people are concerned. 



Study oj a Province. Like any other geo- 

 graphic unit, the province can be studied prop- 

 erly only with the aid of an outline. Each 

 province has individual features which distin- 

 guish it from all other provinces, but the 

 method of study for all is similar, and the ac- 

 companing outline will serve for all. 



PRO'VO, UTAH, the county seat of Utah 

 County and a prosperous trade center, situ- 

 ated north of the center of the state, three 

 miles east of Utah Lake and forty-eight miles 

 south and east of Salt Lake City. In 1910 it 

 had a population of 8,925, which had increased 

 to 10,645 (Federal estimate) in 1916. The city 

 is on the Provo River, and on the Denver & 

 Rio Grande and the San Pedro, Los Angeles 

 & Salt Lake railroads. An interurban electric 

 line extends to Salt Lake City. Provo occu- 

 pies an area exceeding eleven square miles, and 

 is located in the midst of beautiful scenery, 

 in a fertile valley at the base of the Wasatch 

 Mountains. 



Agriculture, fruit growing and cattle raising 

 are the chief sources of income. There is a 

 good trade in farm produce, live stock and lum- 

 ber, and there are manufactories of woolen 

 goods, confectionery and tin and iron rooting. 

 The city has the Brigham Young University, 

 Proctor Academy, a Mormon tabernacle, a 

 Federal building, county courthouse. Carnegie

 interest, including the Provo Canyon, Mount 

 Timpanogas (12,000 feet high) and Hr..i 1 V, .1 

 Falls. Provo was settled in 1849. chart -red as 

 a city in 1851 and in 1910 adopted the com- 

 mission form of government. II.N.
