(EDITOR'S NOTE I Thi. It tht urnnd ol writ, of tight artirlr-- i mi the ol the mrtnl mining indutry in I'Uh.) With the end of the water period, the record tells of the be.'inyings of the Kooky Mountain up...t, of the formation of the Great iiasin and how its rock formations were being squeezed and faulted and contorted between the Wasatch on the east and the Sierra Nevada on the west, of how the fissures and cracks were formed to allow the penetration of metal bearing solu-tions and of how in places the sur-face of the earth failed and the molten material underneath surged up causing rhyolite flows and porphyry and monaonite intusions, some of which, as in Bingham, car-ried enough mineral to become val-uable as ore. Much of Utah liter-ally rose out of the water to share here resources with mankind. And then came the ice ages. As the ice of the last one melted away there was formed in Utah a great fresh water lake, known as Lake Bonneville and in Nevada an-other one that has been called Lake Lahontan. The markings of Lake Bonneville can easily be seen on the flanks of various mountain ranges. From these benches its configuration is easily determined. But it has passed into geological history. The great Sierra Nevada mountains formed a barrier fur the warm, nioisture-ladde- n winds of the Pacific, causing them to drop their moisture before they could pass. So this area, hemmed in by the Rockies and the Wasatch on the east and the Sierras on the west, was deprived of its normal amount of rainfall and the region became more or less arid. On the floor of old Lake Bonneville re-side 90 per cent of the people of Utah and 75 per cent of its ir-rigable land is there. Then came man, first the savage and then the civilized man. The Pioneers who arrived under the leadership of Brigham Young, July 24, 1847. as a result of religious persecution, moved from Nauvoo in the State of Illinois, and began the colonization of the territory. They turned the water from the mountains to the soil and thus de-veloped modern irrigation. The early comers adopted a policy of making themselves self supporting as to foodstuffs, raiment and hous-ing. (The third article in this series will appear in these col-umns soon.)

Each Monday evening talented musicians compete for the week-ly prize, which is a Dupler fur coat. Then the five weekly win-ners compete for the grand prize which is a Western air flight to l.os Angeles, a tour of the movie studios, and an official audition at Mutual broadcasting studios there. Beverly Jean will compete next Monday night, October 27, on the stage of the Utah theater. Since the winners are judged by audience applause, it would be a great help for Beverly if her friends were there to support her. The program goes on the air at 8:30 p.m., so all those in-terested should plan to be there early.
