more especially those Of Salt Lake CITY
10 feel considerable apprehension lest
this remarkable body Of water will soon
be a thing of the past. The reading
of the gauge at Garfield beach on De-
cember /, 1902, was three feet FIVE inches
below the zero Of the scale, showing a
fall OF IL feet inches since the close
OF 1885, the year In which the last rise
terminated, and level between three
and four feet. below that OF lMl.
The water level OF n closed lake may
be affected by change In the general
inclination Of its basin, and VIII fall
as the result of increased temperature,
decreased relative humidity. shortage
in precipitation or increased evapora-
tion as result of spreading the water
from infowing streams over the s9ll
for irrigation or any other purpose.
The present fall In the lake Is EVIL
IDENTIFY due 10 combination OF shortage
in precipitation and the loss OF water
through irrigation, but the shortage in
precipitation Is undoubtedly the pre-.
dominating factor
The present area OF the lake Is
about 1850 square miles. and It's drain
age Is about 20 times that area. The
normal annual precipitation for the en-
tire drainage basin Is about IA inches,
and the annual evaporation from the
surface Of the lake is about five feet.
The report Of the twelfth census shows
that In 1899 the amount OF land irri-
gated In the basin Of the lake was COS
square miles, which Is trife more
than double that under irrigation In
1889.
Flynn's table giving the duty OF
water in irrigating shows that for
Utah 20 be 2.SS acre inches for 10 days
Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1902-12-20

which Is 23.s0 acre inches for 100 days,
or the irrigation season. The writer II
not aware that any experiments nave
been made In northern Utah TO deter
mine the loss OF irrigation water o.
evaporation and perc0lation. The SOIL
in the drainage basin of the Great salt
Lake Is generally a sandy loan, which
would favor quite rapid percolation' Du'
not very rapid evaporation. JudgihS
from the results obtained IN otner
states, and making due allowance iol
the low relative humidity OF this re-
gion, Il is believed that IL inches TOT
evaporation and the growing plant IS
an ample allowance. This would leave
1850 inches to be returned to the lake
or its tributaries by subterranean
courses.
The present area Of the lake II
nearly three times that Of the land un.
der irrigation With precipitation at
normal the loss Of ~ acre inches OF
water by means q irrigation, should
therefore produce the first year a fall
OF four inches in the lake level, and "A
decreasing fall every year Thereafter
untll a balance would be reached be-
tween the area Of the lake and thc
amount OF water IL received, when no
further fall would occur as result OF
Irrigation,
The problem Is necessarily very
intricate one aud at best only general
results can be obtained from the most
careful calculations. The writer, how
ever, feels confident that irrigation can
not be charged with more than three or
four feet of the last decline in the lake
level. Il should be borne In mind that
irrigation began in lS4s, and was In OPP
Grafton during the years the lake ross
rapidly and maintained a high level.
The precipitation data for Salt Lake
City, including that for Fort Douglas.
are complete back TO 1863 with the eX.
ception Of 1866, and that has been APP
proXlmated at 22.2S inches. The aver
age precipitation for this locality, uslns

Is 1855 inches.

, vertiser, the leading newspaper In Homo
lulu, under date of January 1st, evil
dences, in it's illustra tons, size and com
mercial aspect, that Honolulu is a de-
cidedly modern city. The pictures of
school buildings show that they are
massive and INTELLECTUALLY beautiful
and the same characteristics mark the
churches and State House. Walter Gift
ford Smith is editor. Presumably he Is
not opposed to woman in journalism, as
his staff of five reporters consists of two
young men, two young women and
matron. number of linotype operators
are natives and native is foreman OF
the composing room. The faces of the
Hawaiian employees are unusually intel
ligent. They have a Japanese cast or
countenance without the fiat cheekoone
and as usual with the Mikado's subject,
squatty nose. The paper altogether re-
fleets an enlightened, modern and pro-
sressive city. Birmingham, by the way

A PORTUGUESE ON LIQUOR
HABIT AMONG HIS PEOPLE

ceive how any one acquainted with the
Portuguese and their habits could have
so made such a false statement.
That the Portuguese are a decent,
frugal and industrious people cannot
be denied; that the reverend gentleman
should have so libeled the good name
of the Portuguese colony by uttering
and publishing such false statements is
to be regretted, especially coming from
the source it does
In conclusion, allow me to say that
liquor is not bringing about the de-
struction of the Portuguese end that
the reverend gentleman would do far
better if he would attend to his little
flock of followers. and let well alone,
viz: THE Portuguese colony"
Thanking you, Mr.. Editor, for the
space allowed me, 1 am, respectfully
yours, V. vASCONCELLOS.
