Water May Cover City.
In the case OF Utah lake, which, like
Great Salt lake, is a remnant of Lake
, Bonneville. the great body of fresh wa
ter which once covered all the deserts
and valleys of the intermountain cOun-
try, the water has been kept fresh by
the streams which empty into II. The
same forces which made the prehis-
toric lake may occur again and cover
for Immediate alarm as the inundating
movement Will require about 800 years.
This is the geological record of these
movements. The reduction of the Wa
tiers of Great Salt lake is attributed by
the weather bureau to the rapid evapO-
ration and the dry period Of the past
few years.
The past three years has been a rec
ord breaker and the weather depart
ment does not look for three more
years like it. These extremes of dry
and moist seasons follow each other
like the swing of a pendulum and the
chances are that for the next three
years this section of the country may
have fairly wet seasons.
If this proves TO be the case, no res
ervoir will be needed at Saltair and
there is already a snowfall sufficient
to guarantee a perceptible rise of the
waters of the lake. The dry spell may
continue for another year, but such a
condition is not anticipated. A normal
precipitation is looked forward TO.
The last measurement taken by the
local weather bureau at Garfield
showed that the depth Of the water had
not decreased. and if there is no fur

ment is taken in about two weeks, il is
safe to presume thas the lowest water
mark has been. reached. The manage

governed largely by the conditions of
the weather for the next few weeks.

FIDELITY is URGED
A Gospel That Reaches From the
Earth Into the Next
World.

Among the speakers at the taber-
nacle yesterday were Joseph E. Tay-
Tor, Elder Spry of GrantsviIle and Elder
Fleischman. The theme OF all three
speakers was fidelity. Elder Spry said.
among other things:
1T is our duty to learn of Christ that
We may overcome the world. We are
not TO avoid temptation, but to over
come it. We must be sober-minded.
free from frivolity and not allow our
selves to be led away by every new
doctrine that appears attractive"
Elder Fleischman said, in part: at
is a privilege to worship God 1t is
through the mercies of God that we are
placed in the way of glorious resur-
rection. Joseph Smith was chosen
instrument in the hands of God to re-
store. the true gospel which had been
lost. 1t broadens the mind and makes
us more liberal. 1t was left for the
Latter-day Saints to disseminate the
gospel 1t is an obligation placed upon
us, and ii behooves us to fead lives
that can be taken as a pattern by 9th
ers, lives that are spOtless and free
from blemish. Be diligent and faithful
TO every trust and in the end we shall
wear a crown"
Joseph E. Taylor called attention to
the unseldshness of those who have
volunteered their services to the
church as missionaries, and said:
What incentive have they had from
a worldly standpoint? Men and women
OF greater endurance and integrity
cannot be found They have found on
position wherever they have worked
All of them have been met with oppe
slt1on. There is no country where they
have not found opposition, yet they
have left families, kindred ties and
worldly goods that they might go forth
and preach the gospel The Lord told
Joseph Smith that good and evil would
be spoken Of him. Has not this been
done? You may have transitory lows
here on earth, but you cannot have
eternal joys excepting through Christ.
The gospel of God can correct every
wrong and bring peace to every heart.
1t is a gospel that reaches to the end
of the earth and into the next world"
