REMINDER OF DAY IN JUNE
Nothing More Rare Than the Kind of
Weather Salt Lake Enjoys
Cold in New England,

The poet who wrote about the rare
day i'm June manifestly never saw the
rare day in February in Salt Lake Yes
terday's weather was ideal: it is not too
much to say that it was a perfect win
| ter's day. The sun shone brightly, the
streets were dry and altogether it re-
minded one of a day in spring rather
than one in midwinter. The lowest tenn
perature. recorded was 2S above, and the
highest Al, but the temperature Rugged
the high point. The mild weather con-
tlnued throughout the evening. and the
promise is that it will be fair again to-
day. The people were not slow to take
advantage of the favorable conditions,
and the streets were thronged with
crowds of shoppers
But the good fortune that was visited
upon Salt Lake in the way of weather
was markedly lacking i'm the good old
New England states. The station at
Northtield, Vt, reported a minimum
temperature of &c degrees below, and a
maximum of 6 below. 1t was 9 below
in Boston. New York state had zero
weather and below. In the city of New
York itself the record for cold was zero.
with a maximum of 16 above; at Buff
falo the coolest was below with
above: Scranton, Pa. s below with 6
above. Calgary, away up north, had
cold record of IA below. which was Off
set by S above; Sault ste. Marie showed
, below with above. In Montana,
Miles City had zero weather and Hell
ena's lowest was 10 above.
There was rain or snow throughout
a large section of the country. The
largest amount of precipitation report
ed was at Cairo, ILL.,. where 1.20 inches
fell. Moorhead had nearly an inch. Lit
tie Rock, 81; Winnipeg 60: Victoria,
as; Omaha, 40: North Platte. .3S; Gin
cinnati, Sc, and so on through q long
| list, indicating that the storm king is
busy at a good many places outside of
Salt Lake and Utah. The weather bu-
reau has this to say about weather con-
ditions yesterday: THE high pressure
from the Pacific has advanced eastward
to the middle plateau attended by fair
weather and lower temperature. High
pressure was also central over the Brit
ish Northwest territory and New Eng
land, causing temperatures of zero to "a
degrees below over a portion of those
districts The storm over this section
at the time of the last report has moved
eastward to the middle Mississippi val
ley and the lake region, accompanied
by rain or snow and high winds. An
other storm was reported over the north
Pacific. causing rainfall over the mid
die and north Pacific states. The high
pressure over this section will cause
continued fair weather in this vicinity
tonight and Thursday"
The meteorological report for the day
is: Temperature al p. NJ. 40 degrees;
maximum temperature, Al degrees; min
imum temperature. % degrees: mean
temperature, 81 degrees, which is de-
grees above normal. Total deficiency
of temperature since the first of the
month, II degrees; accumulated excess
of temperature since Jan. l, Go degrees.
Total precipitation, none; total precip
itation since the first of the month, .16
inch, which is .16 inch below normal;
