FREAK STORM VISITS
Tilfe GREAT SALT LAKE
SALT LAKE CITY, May 13— Townsj
in the vicinity of Great Salt Lake
were visited by one of their infrequent
“freak” storms recently, a white dust,
said by some to be salt, falling over
the entire Salt Lake valley in conjunc
tion with a light rainfall. Some of the
older inhabitants call them “salt
storms” and maintain that salt is
rained upon the earth.
According to the local weather bur
eau, however, the fall of salt or sand
comes only when there is a high wind
which whips the salt or sand from the
salt beds in the vicinity of Great Salt
Lake and drops it several miles away.
It is said that most of the substance

FACTS ABOUT SEWARD
Seward is situated on Resurrection Bay, midway ot
the coast line of the Gulf of Alaska and 160 miles from
route of the Pacific steamers to the Orient.
The various trade routes of the North Pacific Ocean,
and all the roads and highways and trails and mountain
passes from the interior converge at this point much as if
nature had anticipated the need of a gateway through
which the trade and travel of -a great region might find
convenient passage.
The deep, perfectly protected harbor presents an ob
long surface embracing forty square miles, upon which
any ship that floats may sail in safety at any time, and
which in appearance suggests nothing so much as a beauti
ful inland lake. '
The mainland and shores of Resurrection supply am
ple space and perfect topography for the building of a city
of whatever extent future needs may develop; and this cir
cumstance, added to its natural position as a gateway to
the interior, and the freedom from ice at all seasons ol the
harbor and adjacent waters lead the government to select
this port as the ocean terminal for the railroad. The un
limited coal and oil and mineral resources of Alaska will
flow through this port to enter the commerce of the world,
and in return will come tVe supplies for distribution over
a territory greater in extent than many state combined,
thus making it the great port of the North Pacific or the
NEW YORK OF ALASKA.

surrounding this city, write to the
