Salisbury Re- ij.jj. turns After an Absence of Jen Years, j jlj I Fears That Sniolter Smoke- Will J Ij I Make Salt Lake City Like T-'U H Butte, Mont. I), l-jlj '"At one time 1 thought there was no finer place In the world to live than j j Salt Lake City, but after an absence 1 ' .1 oC almost ten yean? there seems to be a I great change In the atmosphere. Why, !l IB when the weather bureau had Its of-' of-' I flee In the old Chamber of Commerce j ,J building, T could look miles down the j ' I valley, and It seemed to me that every . ' l' crag and canyon of the mountains to 'j the southeast could be distinctly seen. ' . ' I ' Now it Ir nuUe different. I have been i i ; 1 1 j here three days, and haven't yet had j;1 a view of the beautiful valley to the ', j touth of the city I'm afraid the smel-;'! smel-;'! i ler smoke la making- a great difference j here, and have been wondering- If the , i J l Industry becomes more and more exlen-, exlen-, . slve If Salt Lake valley will not be-i' be-i' ' oome like Butte entirely barren of Teg-j Teg-j ctatlon." ! I j Salisbury Stops Over. : j Weather Director George N. Salls-ii Salls-ii bury of Seattle, who was director of 'j the local office from 1S91 to 1S94, made jl the above observation yesterday nfter-i nfter-i p j i:oon, after having spent a few days ; ,! . hfre on his way home from the East. ; I Dr. Hyatt Insisted that Director Salls-, Salls-, ! Lury vns mistaken and was only uplng ;, the Illustration to bolster up his claim J that Seattle now Is the best spot In the I world. But to prove his statement, Mr. ,i Salisbury led Dr. Hyatt to the south "' office In the weather department here. '; and, sure enough, a haze hung over the !j entire valley, making It Impossible to see any great distance. I Director Salisbury called Dr. Hyatt to I ! j task for another shortcoming In affairs j hereabouts the falling of the lake. Of , this change, how'ever, Dr. Hyatt said j;; he could prove himself not guilty, as ,'i the lake has risen n foot since the belli be-lli ginning of his regime, j j Dr. Hyatt's Success. The visiting director was a little taken (' , hack when he found that Dr. Hyatt had i been so successful In filling the cisterns " 1 and lakes In this Immediate vicinity, j but added that If the lake reached a !!,. lower depth It Is only to be expected, i , . I because with Irrigation large quantities . j 1 of -water that formerly found their way I ' 'i to the lake are used up and evaporated I !' . 1 and with the source of supply shut off . IB the lake could hardly be expected to ' itf.4l rise. |
