to have the Indian office commence the
work of building the Indian school at

the interior at Washington, directing
that 1927 04O additional acres of land
in Utah be temporarily withdrawn
from settlement, entry or sale. The
land is to be known as the Wasatch

or the interior sees fit.
The Wasatch reserve, which COM
prises 2,027, $50 acres, embraces territory
in Salt Lake, Summit Juab, Sanpete,
Sewer, Carbon, Pluto and Wayne coun-

government reservation to within two
miles of Thurber, in Wayne county. |
The land is of varying width, embrace
ing practically the Wasa tch mountains |
and the chain of mountains running
along the east side of Sanpete valley. |

reserve extends to the line of the Tin |
tab reservation and the western boun- |
dairy is about three miles east of Provo. |

The month OF June was last week |
ushered into existence in a manner |
that would have done credit to the |
first day of March. Instead of the hot |
sweltering weather that was |
looked for, snowstorm ragged that |
made it seem like the middle of De
cember instead of the beginning of the I
month OF brides. The only forerunner |
to the storm was the decided drop in |
On Saturday, shortly |
after midnight. the thermometer regis
tered 20 degrees, and a few minutes
later it began to take so decided slide |
that it registered A degrees at Z o'clock |
yesterday morning.
There was little else doing except |
grumbling on the part of the many
who planned summer outings, till $50. !
when the heavens opened up, and for |
a period of five minutes it showed as
though it would continue all day. |
Later, at 1890, it started in the same |
fashion. and continued for the same |
length of time. The storms were pure
ly of local nature, snow falling in !
one place, while in another only few /
miles distant, it wis clear.
Section Director Murdoch pro- |
the storm a record breaker, |
the local weather bureau having rec
ords of only two other SHOWS in the |
month of June. On June 3, 1898, there /
was slight trace. and on June l. 1875, /
snow began falling at a. m. and con-
tinued till $3.50 in the morning AL |
though the date of this storm can be |
found, the weather office contains no |
record of the amount of snow that |
fell.
There seems to be some uncertainty |
as to what constitutes a snowstorm.'' |
