BURGLARS ARE BUSY
Brigham Street House Broken
Crooks Enjoy the
Paul Regime.

While Martin Hanson of 654 Brigham
street, and his family. We're away visit
ing friends on Saturday evening, bur
glars entered his home and ransacked
it thoroughly. The Hansons left the
house about 8 O'Clock and returned
shortly after 10 O'Clock. When they
entered the house they saw at once
that an unbidden guest had been there.
Bureau drawers had been emptied on
the floor and their contents tossed
about the room. Trunks had been
broken into and even the beds dis
turbed in the search made by the bur-
glar or burglars for money and Jew
els. Fortunately for the HansOns,
there was very little money in the
house and no jewelry. and the vic
tim of the night providers told the po-
lice that only a few small articles
were missing and that the loss would
not amount to more than a few dol
lars.
The thieves secured entrance to the
house by prying open rear window
with a Jimmy" With the family
away from home. they had ample op-
portunity to do their work, and they
did it thoroughly. 1t is believed by
the police that the burglars had heard
of a large sum of money which Han
son was supposed to have in the house
they entered the premises to make q
search for it, and, not finding it, re
| tired disappointed. taking with them q
| few souvenirs of their visit.
The burglary was reported to the
police soon after it happened on Sat
urday night, but the fact that it had
| occurred was carefully suppressed By
| Chief Paul, who does not care. to have
| the fact that crime is rampant in the
town heralded more than he can help
Burglaries are of almost nightly oc
currence and in no instance in th'
| last few months has any arrest beer
made, with the exception of four news
| boys arrested yesterday for stealins
| four mouth organs. The gentlemen o
! the Jimmy who do the large jobs
| such as the robbery of the Sierra Ne
vada Lumber company and the Con
| tinental Oil company, have not beel
caught, and it is believed that a gani
of professional safe blowers AM
strong are making their head
quarters in the city, calm in the knowl

| more likely to be nursing a sick hors
at his livery barn than attending I
| his duties as chief of police.

In comparing precipitation records
with sun spots. some investigators have
found that maximum Of sun spots is
accompanied by a deficiency of precipi-
tation and a minimum, by an excess;
while others, equally as reliable, but
using the precipitation records of diff
ferent localities, have found the op-
posite conditions to exist
The writer has compared the Salt
Lake City precipitation record with
VOTERS sun spot tables, published in
the Monthly Weather Review for April,
1902, but has been unable 10 discover
any relation whatever between them.
Years of minimum sun spots are some
times excessively wet and sometimes
excessively dry, and the same may be
said of years of maximum sun spots
1t seems pretty well settled that no
well defined connection exists between
the short sun spot cycles and the pre-
cipitation; and this may also be said
of the fifty-five-year periods, but in
the latter case the precipitation records
are too short 70 permit a full investi-
cation of the subject. But there are
sufficient data to show that if rela-
tionship does exist, il is rather COM
pick. For example, the sun spot curve
for the period from 1910 to 1853 does
not appear to differ materially from
that from 1887 to 1901. During the first
period the central portion of the United
States was in a wet cycle, while the
country west of the Rocky mountains
was in a very dry one. During the
latter period a dry cycle prevailed from
San Francisco to Baltimore
Length of Dry Period Uncertain
We shall, therefore, have TO conclude
that there is no known natural law by
which we can predict the length OF
the present dry cycle. The data shows
that weather equally as dry prevailed
west of the Rocky mountains for q
period of at least thirty seven years
If it were known that these recurring
periods were of equal length, no change
for the better could be expected in the
intermountain country until about 1924
But it is probable that these periods
vary in length, and if this be true
| they cannot be used as an index to the
| future until much more data ano
| knowledge are accumulated.

Many students of the subject have
