FINE WEATHER FOR XMAS.
Last Nights Wind Blew Haze Out OF
Salt Lake Valley.

The official prediction that there
would be snow today, was true as far
as last night was concerned, when half
an inch of snow blew in With u 80
mles-an-hour gale. The storm was
short lived but 1t blew the long gstand-t
ing haze out OF the valley, so that this
morning, for the first time in many a
3day,sth islands in the lake were plain
ly visible from the city. A high baro-l
meter Is obtaining over the Pacific
SLOPE, while the rest OF the country
is under a low barometer. The pro-;
dictions for tonight and Christmas day.
are clear skies with a moderately low
barometer. This means skating, and
an ideal Christmas day.
High barometric pressure extends
over the Pacific and Atlantic states,
plateau and Rocky mountain slope.
Over the upper Mississippi valley, lake
region and middle Canada the air pres
sure Is low. This distribution of pres.
sure has caused light precipitation over
portions OF California. Oregon, Wash
