fallen eleven feet seven inches below
its level at the close Of the year 1856

Many persons attributed this fall to
the draining away Of water used In
irrigating surrounding lands. but Mr.
Murdoch. Of the Weather Bureau. said
recently that while part Of the fall
may have been due to that. the greater
part, he thinks. was due to the cycle
Of relatively dry weather that has pre-
