Salt Lake City.
On Dec. 81, 1900, the water level of
Great Salt lake was 9 inches below the
zero of the scale, measured on the
gauge at Garfield beach. This gauge
was established many years ago byA1e
United States geological survey and its
zero placed at what was believed to
be one foot below the lowest known
water. Many old settlers claim. how
ever, that the water was lower in 1913
than the point accepted by the officials
of the United States geological survey
as the lowest known level In 1913 there
was a dry bar extending from the main
land to Antelope island. In September
of 1900 this bar was again exposed and
since then it has been possible to drive
or walk to the island dry shod. There
can be but little doubt that the reading
Of minus 9 inches is the lowest water
level reached since the settlement of
the state.
The question naturally arises, What
is the cause of this remarkable fall in
the lake, and VIII it continue to fail
ana finally disappear within a few
years2
One explanation offered is that the
fall IS due TO the diverting of large
quantities of water from the streams
flowing into the lake for irrigation puT-
poses " lIn A view TO aSceTLa1n1n2 now
far d shortage in precipitation is re-
spOnsible for this decline in the lake
level, ali the precipitation data collect
ed in the Great Salt lake basin vas
tabulated and the averages calculated
and compared. But it was seen that
objection could be raised to any con-
illusions drawn from these averages for
the reason that the average annual
rainfall of the basin ranges from less
than five inches in the driest parts to
about eighteen inches where the pre-
CipitatiOn is heaviest, and as stations
have been established here and Giscon-
tinued there, it was seen that the data
were not comparable. NeVert heless the
results of these calculations and com
parsons show that the last fifteen
years have been the driest on record.
The precipitation data for Salt Lake
City, including that for Fort Douglas,
are complete back to 1868. with the TX
ception of the data for 1855. The data
for Ogden and COrinne are complete
back to and including 1871. These sta
lions lie a few miles east OF the lake
and the distance from COrinne on the
north to Salt Lake City on the south
is about 50 miles. The data for these
stations We're tabulated, averages OBJ
tanned for each year and the results
charted.
The average annual precipitation for
these three stations from 1863 to 1900 in
elusive. is 1855 inches. The last de-
cline in the water level of the lake be-
gan in 1887. The average precipitation
from 1868 to 1885, inclusive, is 1872

fsnecial Correspondence.)

CedaH City, Jan. 24--The people of
Cedar are very much exercised over
the order from the state board of
health to enforce vaccination in the
schools. A petition against it is now
being circulat tied. A few of the normal
students are leaving school rather than
comply with the demand. and the ma
jority of the townspeople refuse TO
have their children Yaccinated.
A reunion of the seventies and ell
derS' quorums was held Tuesday even
ing. and tomorrow night the Sunday
schools will give an entertainment and
ball to raise funds to meet expenses.
A pleasing literary and musical recital
was rendered at the normal school
Saturday evening by the Misses Thorn
as. Knickerbocker, and Savage of salt
Lake, the first two of whom are in
stTuCtOTS.
No more cases of smallpox have de-
VelOped as yet.

an order applying to schools only.
Il infer from the action of the cOun-
~ board that the state boards order is
not mandatory on local boards, not be-
ing a general order. as it applies to
school gatherings and not to gather
ings in general and is therefore spec
iaI regulation. and that the state board,
having supervision only when gather
ings of all kinds, or the public in gen.
eraI, are included, has no power to
make special regulations in which only
the schools are concerned.

Meeting of PrincinaIs.

At d meeting of the school principals
yesterday afternoon the action Of the
board of education in ordering that all
pupils, whether Vaccinated or not. shall
be admitted to the schools, was briefly
discussed. The consensus of opinion
was that il would be the duty of the
principals to comply with the order of
the board. although it might conflict
with the order Of the health depart
ment. It was assumed that the re-
sponsibiiity rested with the school
board if any prosecutions follow com
plianCe with the new order.
