SNOWF ALL COMES IN
WAKE OF COLD WAVE

According to the prediction Of Salt
Lakes weather man. snow came last
night IN the wake OF the recent cold
wave. The latter had entirely left the
west yesterday. with the exception OF
the territory between the Wasatch range
and tho Colorado Rockies Montana and
New Mexico. The thermometer went up
10 33 degrees yesterday in Salt Lake.
IT continued to rise Throughout the en-
tire intermountain country
The chinook wind which caused a 6f-
degree rise in temperature at Havre
Mont, played out, and the temperature
dropped from sc degrees above TO 10 be-
low IN twcntY-four hours. Roswell. n.
NJ, continued to experience cold weather
as did Grand Junction, Colo. Denver's
temperature rose 2S degrees, Snow was
reported yesterday in Nevada and south
ern Idaho.
The eastern states arc experiencing
cold weather. but the cold wave lost
much OF It's vitality before 1t got there
and the temperatures did not drop to the
zero mark in most cases. The tempera
lures In southern California yesterday
came UP TO within Il few degrees of nor

On October /. 1910. when the Western
Union Telegraph company opened dis.
trict headquarters here, its local floor
space was 2700 square feet and it en-,
ployed forty-6ve attaches, said Mr.. Life
Today ITS floor space, he said, was 49,.
600 square feet, with arrangements uu-
der way for more, while the employees
numbered l6S. with an annual payroll
amounting to 100000. Approved esti-
mates Tor construction in this territory
for the year 1913, said Mr.. Life, al.
ready amounted TO $3.50 900, with ad
ditional estimates in view. Tho local
headquarters. he said, was equipped
with the latest apparatus known to
telegraph science. Mr.. Life invited
every member of the Utah Electric club
to call at the compauy's offices and
operating rooms in The Tribune build
ing, where, be declared, he would sur
prise them with demonstrations Of ad-
vances made in telegraphy and elcc.
