RAIN Of SALT
FALLS IN CITY
Crystals Come Out of Air and
Are Gathered in Hand
fuIs by Visitors.
HOW DID 1T COME FROM SEA
TEMPERATURE TWO DEGREES
ABOVE FREEZING POINT.

The everlasting question of why is
salt2" was again brought forcibly to the
front yesterday morning between and 4
O'Clock, when vast quantities of salt were
deposited on the streets, on the hats
worn by persons out of doors. on UNI
brellas. The character of the precipitate
matter resembled snow and ice particles,
but upon testing its temperature it was
found to be higher than that at which
water freezes.
Dr. f. II. Hyatt, the section director
says that the thing or things that fell
upon the peaceful and law-abiding cti-
zenS OF salt Lake yesterday morning was
salt There is no question about that
1t tasted salt, il smelled salt, it looked
salt, 1t was salt. a handful of it, after
the moisture had evaporated, left a resi-
Que or as good quality of salt as was
ever ground out by that famous hand
mill that was dumped into the sea, about
which some marveied when they read it
in McGuffeys reader.
There is question and a problem about
the saltstorms in this region. Some say
that the waters of Great Salt lake, in the
process OF evaporation. carry with them
certain quantity of salt. This is held
IN suspension in the air until 8 sudden
change of temperature toward the colder
side OF the average comes, and then.
through condensation and other chemical
processes which ordinary folks are sup
posed TO know nothing of, is precipitated
and comes upon the bosom of mother
earth in the form of salt or its equiva-
lent
Some say that the strong winds that on
rare occasions prevail in this region lift
immense quantities of water out of the
lake and blow them hither and thither.
The mass, falling upon the ground in the
form of rain, leaves a substance, salt,
the water draining off into the cutters
or into the soil.
Anyhow. as Bobby GaylOr used to say,
| there was salt on the street yesterday
morning 1t was at no time yesterday,
according to the official thermometer,
cold enough to freeze water. The lowest
was "a as shown by DR.. Hyatts records.
Therefore the belated pedestrian saw a
saltst0rm and not a snOWStOrIn.
1t is the testimony of the telegraph and
telephone company managers that salt
storms are most annoying to the service.
The salt crystals cling to the cross-arms
and form a conducting element between
two wires or more carrying electrical en-
ergy. 1t has happened that every wire
on system provided with large num-
Der of lines, save one, have had to be
opened that is, put out of circuit-in
order to establish the single one.
Strangers in the city who were abroa d
at the hour when the Saltstorm came yes
terday morning gathered handfuls of the
moisture that fell 1t was curiosity; in
deed, it is interesting to the people here
abOuts still, although they have seen the
phenomena scores of times.

Lehi, April 3o-The home of William
SOuthwick came nearly being destroyed

roof of a frame addition. The walls were
left standing, but the roof was almost
completely destroyed. The fire depart

water. but saved all the household furni-

A half million pounds of wool are being
loaded at the Salt Lake Route depot fast

clipped at Austin & Webb's corral west
of Isehi where about 5000 head of sheep
have been sheared during the past month.
The shearing season here is about over
and the shearers will leave In a few days
for Wyoming and Montana, where the
shearing is a month later. The men were
paid cents per head and it is a common

fleeces in g day. The price paid in Mon
tana will be s cents per head.

The attempt of the railroad companies
to shift the blame for the coal shOrta ge

the local coal Nsalers. all OF whom say
they have arranged for the storing of
coal during the summer, provided they
can get it. One of the dealers stated yes
with a company, which he placed the
Ist of last month. On Wednesday he re-
ceived a communication from the coal
company that it had orders ahead that
could not be filled in four months. and
that the storage order could not be filled
