From THE GREAT SALT LAKE.-Through the
poieness of Mr.. Spencer, of the Salt Lake Settle
ment, the New York Herald is put in possession of
several interesting items, relative to that newly
settled section of the country. The territory now
contains about twenty thousand inhabitants, of
which thirteen thousand comprise the population
of the chief city.
The soil is very productive and easily cultivated
Seventv-fve bushels Of wheat 10 the acre is the
ordinary yield, when sown broadcast; but one
hundred and sixty bushels have been produced
from a single bushel of seed when planted in drill
Corn grows only tolerably we'll in consequence of
the nights beirg too cold. Potatoes are easily
grown and produce abundantly. All the smaller
grains flourish The usual time to begin the agri-
cultural work is about the first Of April. In con.
sequence of the proximity OF mountains, which are
ways covered with snow, there is very little rain
and the lands are irrigated by means of canals, at
the base of the hills
The water power is abundant, and already there
are six -four and six saw. mills in operation. These
mills are supplied by streams from the mountains
which afford more than sufficiency of water to
keen the mills going all the time.
The climate is salubrious and healthy. During
the year 1910. out of 1000 inhabitants there oc-
CURED but seven deaths-and two of those were
the result Of accident.
There are several settlements in the valley, ali
0f which are in a hourshing condition. There is
one at Utah Valley, one at San Pete, one at Lit
Tie Salt Lake, three hundred and fifty miles from
the chief city, one at the west, and one at the
north end of the Great Lake. That at Little Salt
Lake is more lavorahly situated than either of the
others. 1t has an abundance of choice timber and
the soil and climate are excellent. The valley is
almost perpetually clear of snow Near the lake
is high bluff of rock, upon which are engraved
hierogyphics, entirely unintelligible to any who
have seen them.
The story ofths spiritual wifehoOd is all fiction
No man has more than one wife, and no woman
more than Que husband. All systems of religion
are tolerated, and every is at liberty to worship
as he pleases
