WHY SALT LAKE HAD A 7-DAY Foe
Section Director Murdoch of the Weather Bureau Writes Spec
a Article to the Deseret News Accounting for the PhenOm
enOnDue to an Area of High Pressure Remaining Sta
tOnary Over the Great Basin.

Owing to the fact that Salt Lake
City has been enshrouded In fog for
the past week and TO the further fact
mat hundreds Of people have been up-
able to account for the phenomenon the
Deseret News today requested Section
director Murdoch, Of the Utah Weather
bureau to write an article upon it and
he kindly did 50 as follows;
An examination Of the daily weather
map published by the United States
weather bureau, Will show that areas
Of high and low barometric pressure
follow each other across the United
States, moving In an easterly direction.
The areas Of low pressure are from
1000 to 1900 miles in diameter, and
the "highs" somewhat greater In eX-
tent, The eastward transition Is due to
the general eastward drift OF the at
mosphere In the temperate zone. The
average rate of movement IL about 500
OF 600 miles per day, the lows NOV
ing somewhat faster than the highs. v
The air moves around the low from
right to loft and spirally inward toward
the center, where It ascends In a
high" nearly the opposite condition
obtains. AT the center the air Is de-
cending and flowing spiraly outward
from left to right.
In q general way the low brings

EX-CHAIRMAN
FOULKS IS SUED

A. d. Mcclure, former employe OF
the Rio Grande Western Railway com
pany, today commenced damage suit
for S10,12750 and costs against James
Hegney and John X. F0ulks.
According to his complaint on Dec
6 last the defendants obtained from
Justice OF the Peace Kroeger a warrant
for McGuire's arrest on charge of de-
frauding a boarding house keeper. HeB-
noy IL the proprietor of the Albany
hotel. and procured the warrant against
Mcclure at the instlgaton of Foulks'
The result was that Mcclure was
brought back from Grand Junction,
Colo, on Dec. Z, and imprisoned In SAT-
Lake county jail for a day and a night
on Dec, 3 he was released on his own
reoognizance. He maintains that the
charge upon which he was arrested was
not only malicious, but without prob
able cause.
When his case was called before Jus
time Kroeger on Jan. 6, MaGulre was
acquitted neither of the defendants'ap-
peariug to prosecute. As no further
proceedings have been taken they seem
to have abandoned the case.
Plaintiff alleges that the charge
against him and his arrest were ex-
tensively published IN the three daily
papers of Salt Lake City, as he believes
through the Procurement Of defendants.
He claims It coet him 800 for attor-
ney fees. and that his ticket to Kansas
city, Mo-, to which city he was travel
Ing. was rendered void, also that he lost
his situation with the Rio Grande
Western Railway company, and he as
sesses his unjust disgrace and humilia-
tlon at $4,000, making grand total Of
Sl0l27,50.

While these areas have an average
daily velocity Of from 500 TO GOO miles,
they occasionally remain stationary
The unusually long period of dense
fog in this vicinity Ia due to an area
Of high pressure remaining stationary
over the Great Basin on January 2,
about 80 inch of rain fell over the
northern portion Of Utah The ground
was frozen and most OF the rain be-
came ice on IT, surface, On January 3
an area of high pressure moved In
from the northwest and settled over the
Great Basin. II brought clear skies and
bright sunshine. The clear sky was
a condition which favored rapid radla-
ton OF heat and a slight fall in tenn
perature occurred; the bright sun
Shine caused rapid evaporation from
the ice covered ground and the sur
face Of the lake, The result Of the drop
IN temperature and the increase In hui
nudity was that the dew point was
suddenly enshrouded by very dense fog

greater compression which increases
its temperature The increase Of heat
Is practically prohibitlye Of cloud for
nation, and therefore the bright clear
skies in AN area Of high pressure. But
when high continues stationary for
some time, the downward movement
becomes SO slow that the loss Of heat
ny radiation and conduction Is greater
than that gained by compression. The
air therefore becomes colder with each
foot Of descent, a condition which Is
favorable for fog or the maintenance Of
one already formed. a fog Of this char
acter may extend upward 1000 feet or
more; above It bright clear sky and
warm sunshine,
The present dense fog began on Janu-
AIRY 3 and has continued with slight
interruptions until the present time, a
period OF seven days The Weather
buroan records for Salt Lake city,
which began In 1874, do not show that
dense fog has extended over a greater
period than three consecutive days
heretofore.
A uniform temperature would natur-
ally be expected during a period with
dense fog, but the uniformity in the
present case has been remarkable
From p. m. of January TO date, the
highest temperature has been 80 de-
grees and the lowest 20, range Of 8

Mr.. Wooten, Of Texas. also argued
mat the bill should be passed without

would become a constitutional project
