Late last evening rumor on the
street was to the effect that move was
in progress looking to the transfer OF
the Lake Park bathing resort to point
on the southeastern shore OF the Great
Salt Lake, and near the salt gardens OF
the Inland Salt Company. 1t was also
stated that in case amicable arrange
ments were made, the D. & R. G. W.
would at once go to work and put down
rails from this city to Saltair. The
rumors were not confirmed, both Mr..
Bennett, of the railway, and Mr.. Clay
ton, of the salt company, being absent
from their offices, and no one else ap-
peared to know anything about the
matter. This much is known, how
ever, surveyors are out in that section
running lines for some purpose. The
bath at Saltair is said to be equal to the
one at Garfield.
