There is q tremendous conflict in the
air. \ fierce battle is being fought be
tween the High and the Low. Fhe nope Is
that the hosts Of the High viii prevail
for unless they do. there viii be more
snow and more cold and more-b-r-r-r.
The weather bureau says that the indi-
cations are that there will be fair weather
Yesterdays weather was besstly. Al
one time there was a blizzard In san
Lake that was. comparatively speaking.
the equal Of any that ever S'eW over vi
mar MINI. This blizzard was preceded
by a couple Of infants that blew up AT
o'clock and o'clock. or tnerea bouts.
The main squeeze arrived at about nan
after il o'clock. He lasted about nan a.
hour and he finished what was ieft OF
the conference after prohibition got past
1t in short order.
Wind and Snow.
Ii was no gentle wind that blew IN
with the snow. Il was one OF the kind
that used 10 rage on Lac st. Clair Nc
Guffey's Reader used to tell. long, long
time ago, that the terrific wind. IN COM
petition with the sun. made the Man only
buckle his mantle more closely about him.
This was the case YESTERDAY but the sun
aid not come forth to make him shed MS
garment. The snow fell III aoundant
measure ana also on the streets. While
the measurement at the weather oIflcs
does not give the suowstOrm creclt Tor
what il Gid. saying that only two one
hundredths Of an inch fell in precipitation,
the storm was no infant.
Al various times during the afternoon
& there was suggestion of snow. ana last
evening at about . O'Clock there was
demonstration OF no mean vigor.
The Warriors in Combat.
The reason why Salt Lake is getting
snow aud rain and wind and other dis
. agreeable things is because there Is a big
fight going on between the high and low
bsrOmrtric pressures in the air. Inc low
has been prevalent over the vicinity OF
Salt Lake for three or four days It
came first from the northwest ana Jnen
flange OF another low area came up
from the southwest Yesterdays map
showed however. that q high NOV ing
eastward from the Pacific coast has slc-
ceeded in pushing the low off into k&n-
sas Missouri and the central west and
f that. between the low from the north
west and high from the southwest. It IS
likely that there viii be things doing
round about ST Louis-the area was CEN
trai over Hannibal when the map was
made.
F ana an extreme high is always cause for
trouble Thus IL IS that when the high came
/ sailing eastward from the coast the low
lmet il in defense. There was mortal
I combat on the scrap and COunterscrap,
with the result that the high was the
victor at the close of hostilities last night
