Low WATER ~ GREAT SALT LAKE.
vestiratIons as 60 the water Level In utshs
Snlt Sea.

The SrN has already told abou, the decline
in volume OF waters Of Great SAT- Lake The
question Is asked what Is the cause Of this re-.
| markable fall In the lake, and will II continue
- fan and finally disappear
Mr.. l. II Murdoch has Just reported in tho
, Monthly Weather RepicW the results Of his in
vesti cations on this subject lie says that
on the last day OF 1900 the water level Of the
lake was nine Inches below the zero mark
on the gauge at Garfield Beach. This gauge
was established many years ago by our
Geological Survey and its zero was placed
at what was believed TO be one foot below the
lowest known water There can be little
doubt that the reading Of minus nine inches
Is the lowest water level reached since the
settlement OF the State.
one explanation offered IL that the fall IL
due to the diverting Of large quantities Of
water from the streams flowing into the lake
for irrigation purposes Mr. Murdoch did not
inquire into the question OF tho amount Of
water diverted for irrigation. but endeavored
TO ascertain how far a shortage in rainfall is
responsible for this decline In the lake level
For this purpose he tabulated all the precpi-
tation data that have been collected in tho
basin OF the lake. and he gives AZ considerable
length the results Of these calculations and
comparisons
He found that the last fifteen years have
been the driest on record For ench year there
was an average shortage OF 0 es inch in rainfall.
or In other words the rainfall was that much
under the normal for every year The total
shortage for the fifteen years ending in 1900
was II 10 inches With 80 large a shortage
In rainfall a decided fall in the lake level
would naturally he expected and a fall OF
about 0 feet and inches has occurred
Mr.. Murdoch concludes from oil the data
that the climate Of tho Great Salt Lake basin
10 not becoming drier. but that periods OF
heavy precipitation will occur again and the
lake will rise to about the same levels it has
rea ched in the past
Nr G. X Gilbert Of the Geolog gical Survey
In reviewing the facts Mr. Murdoch has
brought together. expresses the opinion that
the shortage Of rainfall does not suffice to
account wholly for the fall of the lake sur
face. The problem is complex. but II COM
plete analysis were possible II would probably
show that q number Of factors have helped
TO produce the observed shrnkage. lie |
believes that a prominent place among these |
factors would be accorded TO irrigation. |
As the area Of irrigated land has been greatly |
enlarged during the last decade he does not |
see how this could fail TO influence the balance |
between inflow and evaporation. which de-
ermines tho height OF the lake The work |
of irrigation must have greatly diminished

charge TO the lake

 George w. LuttreIl.

Oxford, August 13.-w. F. Higgin- botham shot and seriously wounded G. w. Luttrell about 6:30 o'clock this morn- ing. It is alleged the trouble arose over a family affair.
 Luttrell, who has been employed to drive meat wagon for c. c. Morgan, on Monday afternoon presented Mrs. Hig- glnbotham with her bill.

The bill was paid. .Luttrell, seing her husband was not at home, asked her (Mrs. Hig- ginbotham) for a drink of water. She directed him to the well.
 She claims Luttrell then made an im- proper proposal She ran to a neighbor's s house for protection.
 When MT. Higginbotham came he was told of the affair. He met Luttrell on the street this morning. Neither one spoke. and 1t Is alleged Higginbotham opened fire. The most serious wound is in Lut- trell's side.

Second Game.

In the second game the fans were on the qui vive as the report got circulated that Roberts, the amateur lad was going to pitch his first game in fast company. Birmingham was up first and Moss led off with a line drive to right field. He scored on Veitch's hit to center and the other were easy outs. Young Roberts ap- peared in the box for Birmingham and was loudly cheered as the first ball thrown was a strike. Molesworth was first to face him and made dinky hit to sec- ond base. Taylor hit between short and third Durritt then put slow one over second, scoring Molesworth. The others went out easy, but Birmingham could do nothing in her half.
 A young man, Curran by name, went in to umpire the second game. His inten- tions were evidently good. but two rank decisions nettled the Birmingham rans so that a howl went up that was almost deafening. LaRocque was called out at first when he was safe by a good stride and Gettinger was called out at the home plate when the grand stand was unani- nous in pronouncing him safe, and in saying that Roth never touched him Whe nthe crowd raised the next howl Curran walked off the field and turned the game over to Umpire Clark At this Juncture young man attired in citizens clothes started towards the diamond where the umpire had been standing. but was finally urged to go back to his seat Umpire Clark then went into the box again and the crowd gave him an ova- tion.
 The visitors hit little Roberts rather hard in the next three innings, and with a remarkable exhibition of bad support. Chattanooga chalked up Il runs. That Roberts would have lost his game with good support Is almost certain. but the slow fielding of the locals in the l.asf fau, innings of the game was enough to dis hearten an old stager. The young fellow had sand, however, and stuck to his job to the finish. He frequently showed signs of stage fright. but held his pop ularity with the crowd
 The boilmakers had a batting rally the fifth inning and 1t looked as if some thing was doing. Roberts opened up with a safe one between first and second, and

There was only one assist in the game, the catcher dropping a third strike and throwing the man out at first base. The game was a tie at 1 to 1 in nine Innings. when 1t was stopped by darkness. The same teams played another tie game in Tyler. the score of which was to 8 in ten innings. It was called on account of darkness. The C. B.'s defeated Palestine by to in ten innings.

 Birmingham and Chattanooga broke oven in a double-header yesterday even ing.
 In the first game the Boilermakers got on to Barry and pounded him all over the lot It was terrible slaughter and when the fireworks had temporarily subsided 1t was ascertained the Birmingham's had scored ten runs. while the men from Tennessee barely got one run off of Keefe It was questionable hit past third base that went under buggy and robbed the Birmingham southpaw of shut out Keefe pitched a beautiful game from the start and that unlucky hit Is all that marred the pleasure of the game. The pyrotechnic display proper was turned on in the third inning when Keefe began business by taking a walk to first Moss sacrificed him to second and Martin lined out beauty to left field, scoring the pitcher. McDivitt then hit one over sec- and. Martin made beautiful steal of third while Clayton was mapping. When the pitched was negotiating with veitch mcA1lVltt pll1ered the second bag and before he had time to get settled MT. Veitch rapped the ball out to right field. scoring both runners.
 By this time temperature in the grand stand was at fever heat while bleach CTS were boiling. LaRocque tried to hit hard but bunted the ball and was thrown out at first veitch anchoring on second. AGettinger also wanted a finger in the pie and hit hot one to center Kal- khoff was the next big gun, and with a heavy swing landed the sphere in deep center for two bases. scoring both of the runners. Culver then went out from sec ond to first, and the ooilermakers took rest. Chattanooga was promptly blanked and the fun started again. Mar tin got base on balls and scored on McDivitts three- -bagger to center field fence. Veitch and LaRocque also landed on the ball for two singles and McDiyttt scored.
 Chattanooga's only run was made in the eighth inning Roth hit to right field and on Molesworths lucky hit past third base and under buggy, he scored. The score:
