gine was sent over the line with a pump

theory in explanation of the phenomenon
is that the salt was picked up from the
spray by heavy winds that dashed across
the Great Salt lake and waited for miles
through the air. Superintendent Dickey
of the Western Union reported to Super
intendent Calvin that the salt performed
such a trick sixteen years ago, and it
was the formers suggestion that caused
the investigation.
