Salt Lake IL Sinking.

The decline in the surface of Great
Salt Lake Is causing apprehension
among the people of Utah. This inter.
esting body of water has been steadily
sinking for number of years. but the
causes Of its decline are not well W.
derstOod. 1t is thought by some that
the lake Is subject to cycles of change
which correspond to like cycles Of
years of heavy and light rainfall and
that 1t is now undergoing one Of Its
low water periods from which it will
soon revive. The movements in the
waters have also been thought to be
related to the development of agri-
cultural and grazing interests, which
divert large quantities of water from
the streams which feed the lake for
use upon the land. During past years
the cutting Of timber ON the neighbor'
ing mountains has been unusually
heavy. practically destroying the for.
est protection Ct the head waters Of
number Of streams whose waters
now into the lake. The cutting Of
these forests Is supposed to have III
jured the flow Of the streams and thus
to have affected the lake level. Great
Salt lake is the means of considerable
resource to Utah and the value OF
property near the lake and certain
lines OF business are said to be un'
favorably affected by its decline. Tne
matter Is there considered Of so mucn
Importance that the United States geo

the city is under water. So far but
one death has been reported.
The great peril now is that the
Spruce street raceway which supplies
water power for all mills along the
water front may overflow. This would
cause great loss to the manufacturing
districts. Expert engineers have
placed dynamite below the. Spruce
street bridge, and If necessary it will
be touched off.
This will open new channel for
the volume OF water held there, and
diverting it, save a good deal Of prop

while at work with agreeable aud in

operation connected with the tending

one machine which performs it little
