This was told to savants from all over America by Professor Hyrum Schneider o! the department of geology, University of Utah, who dellv~ ered a lecture on the ancestry of Great Salt Lake as a feature of the convention sessions of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Pacific division, held on the university campus recently. Three hundred forty~six miles long, and 145 miles wide, with e. depth of 1,000 feet, Lake Bonneville bad an area of about 20,000 square milesabout the size ot Lake Huron, and ten times as large as the area of Great Salt Lake. The la)(e was named after captain Benje.mln BonneVille by Grove K. Gilbert, first geologist completely to chart the outline of the ancient inland sea..

Then with increased moisture in the area the lake rose from this level, known as the 11Bonnevilleu level, an1 developed an outlet at Red Rock pass at the north end of cache valley. For a comparatively long time the lake discharged a large volume of water to the Paclflc ocean by way ot the Snake and .....olumbl& rivers. This copious discharge or water continued unW the channel and lake had been lowered 876 feet. Then the actual phenomenon at salinl!tcatlon occurred. The rainfall and other moisture conditions., because of changes tor a drier climate, were no longer able to maintain the lake at this discharge level, and it dwindled to its present size by dessication.

Relief tor the owners of small homes in Utah is now practically within their grasp. This was tbe announcement made recently by officials of the Utah Home Owners' Loan corporation of Utah. The great need tor the legislation knowu as the home owners' loan act of 1933, Is evidenced by the fact that for the past few daya the-- office of Hugh B. Brown, counsel for the Home Owners' Loan corporation of Utah, has been sW&lllped witb Inquiries and applicants seeking information on this relief project of the federal government. Mr. Brown explained that the pur-pose of the law !a to provide emergency relief with respect to home mortgages to extend such relief through the refinancing of home mortgages when the owners occupy their homes and who are unable to amortize their debt elsewhere. For the capital ot this corporation, congress appropraited $200,00,000 and authorized It to lsaue bonds aggregating $2,000,000,000. These bonds are a direct obligation of the Home Owners' Loan Corporation and will be payable in not to exceed 18 years. These bonds are backed by the entire resources of the corporation. They 'Will carry an interest rate of 4 per cent, uncondltlona.lly guaranteed by the United States government and are tax exempt. Taking Into account the tax exemption features, they may be regarded as guaranteed ~ per cent bonds. Property ellgible for relief consists of dwellings for the use of not more than four famllles and property which has a present value not to exceed $20,000.

In return for their compensations in the national wheat production contfol program, farmers of Salt Lake county will be asked to make nominal reductions In their wheat acreage for the years 1934 and 1935. The exa.ct amount of these required reductions will be announced by SecretA.ry Henry A. Wallace after a carefW study of the entire current wheat situation, but they will 1n no event be more than 20 pet cent of the averae:e acreage the grower had In wheat during the base period from 1930 through 1932. The reductions, which because of the compensation payments can be made by the individual farmer without loss of immediate cash income, "re the very foundation of the whole Of Pres!. dent Franklin D · Roosevelt's N. R. A. program, was released by the postal department August 15, according to a report from postal authorities. The stamp is modernistic in de~ sign. and contains the letters N. R. A., the abbreviation for National Recovery Administration. These stamps will be distributed to postoffice throughout the nation as soon as the postoffice depa.ttment can supply the numerous station over the country. The number of stamps issued was not given in the bulle~ tin, but it is safe to predict that future stamp collectors will be eager to have one of this issue in their album. Commissioner Corrects Numerous Wrong Beliefs 11 Restricted areas'' a.nd "scaledowns" have been the major Items of discussion recently at the office of the land bank commissioner In Berk...ley. For about 17 years the farmers ot Utah, California, Arizona and Ne-vada have been accustomed to the rules and regulations used by the Federal Land Bank serving the Elev· enth district. With the passage ot the Agricultura.l Adjustment act which became effective on May 12, 1983, a. new lactor came into the economic Jives ot our farmers. A new form of loan became available to tanners, in need of refinancing, through the oUices of the land bank commissioner. From the fact that the agent of the land bank commissioner is located in the offices of the Federal Land Bank many persons have erroneously assumed that the land bank loans and commissioner loa.ns are one and the same. wheat plan.
