A., a tyrant saurian, reposing in the. lush grass and reeds at the mouth of the Sevier river, near the present site of Lynndyl. Utah, felt himself stirred by the season's tender impulses, and gargled an erotic song to his mate; who lay like a low, gray Island some mils out- - in- the shallow, sandy marshes of the eastern .shore of Lake Bonneville. If he didn't, be missed an opportunity. for the month of the river was there and aJso the sandy marshes. Perhaps no stream has left its history written so graphically oh the face of the earth as the Sevier river. Vast, abandoned monuments to its ceaseless activity are scattered over the western depert. Itosuiat. sand deserts, abandoned river bed, salty hard pan fiats, tule marshes, alkaline sinks and great, level tracts of fertile farming land alike testify of its past. Arising in the extreme, southeastern rm of the Great Basin, the ancient river has. carved out rugged canyons and beautiful mountain valleys from the heart ofthe W a.a tr h, ca my In g thw debris through Its giVtway in the mountains out on the floor of the desert. In primitive times, when the turgid gtream emptied Into Lake Bonneville at the present site of Lynndyl, it spread Its silt in a great, sandy delta on the eastern shore of the lake, when the climate of the Great later, Basin became warmer and drir. the waters of the lake receded, leaving the lake floor a desert through which the nver cut a deep channel a it followed the shore line. Of the drying .lake. In - . . v- REMARKABLE MONUMENTS. Two of the most remarkable monuments to the rivers activity are the great sand desert west of Lynndv! in Mi Third and Juitb counties, and the abandoned river bed which ages ago carried the stream through the northern outlet of the Bait v ant valley, across the Thigway valley. and emptied it Into what is now called the Balt desert. Of these two monuments, the Lynndyl sand fields far antedate Riverbed. the sand having been deposited when lake Bonneville washed the flanks of the Wasatch, while Riverbed Is the charthel made by the river as it followed the receding waters of the lake northward.

One day a fairly brisk southwest wind blsw, filling the air with a light haze of dust ami fine sand. The sheltered cede of the dun acquired a liberal coating of fresh, loose sand. Toward evening the wind suddenly stopped, and far a nment the air seemed to hang motionless. Then, without warning, a tearing, nvtring blast from the northwest struck with the fan of an explosion.
