Maid of Honor.

Very little interest was taken in the
maid of honor contest until the closing
hour Wednesday evening, when parti-
sans of the two young lady candidates,
Miss Carrie Gross and Miss Kate Sher-
man, appeared and a spirited contest
took place, The polls closed promptly
at 500 o'clock and when the vote was
counted it was asce-tained that 100
votes were vast, of which Miss Kate
Sherman received 1870 and Miss Carrie
Gross 470.

candidate, was born in Resting Springs,
lnyo County, California, 20 years ago,
but has resided in Mohave county

Fate Of the Great Salt Lake.

1t is prophesied that before the end
of another century the Great Salt Lake
will be utterly dried up. In the past
year, we are told, its waters have re-
ceded a mile. "rhe cause for this"
says the Irrigation Age, sis said to be
the excessive drain made upon it by
the irrigation enterprises of the Nor
mons. Contrary to the theory which
was accepted for time, this great lake
is not fed by underground springs, but
by the Jordan, Weber, Ogden and Bear
rivers, and when the water of these
streams is intercepted for irrigation
purposes, it necessarily decreases the
water supply of Salt Lake, leaving it
much to the mercy of the sun and the
attendant evaporation which is con-
stantly going on and which is slowly
but surely drawing the waters until in
time only bed of dry salt will remain.
The cause of the saltness of the water
of this mysterious body of water has
been matter of conjecture to scien-
lists for years. The most plausible
theory is that the saltness is due to the
high altitude which causes excessive
evaporation, while there is practically
no outlet to the lake. A scientist after
number of experiment has expressed
the conviction that if all the salt sup
ply of the world were cut off, except
that found in the bed of the lake, there
would still be enough to last the world
for ages, so deep is this deposit. Re-
garding the decadence of this lake a
writer recently said: "When the great
Salt Lake is gone it will be missed as
wonder and a salt factory for little
else. Its waters destroy vegetation in
stead of noHrishing it, Should the
fresh waters of the lake be evaporated
or disappear into the ground, thou
sands of square miles would cease to
be inhabitable. Some years ago the
Utah lake region was made a govern
ment reservation, an act which has
kept irrigation companies from draw
ing either from it or from its feeders" i"

Prof. E. G. Griswold was reading
in his room at the Dennis residence

window which opened even with
the floor of the porch. A second
time it ran pellmell against the
glass and this time the professor
secured his rifle and went out thro'
a side door where he had a view of
the porch end window. To his sur
prise he found a fox, which was
trying to gain an entrance into the
room, evidently attracted by the
light. Not wishing to receive such
visitors and fearing for the safety
of the glass, for his foxship tried a
third time to break it, he ended its
existence with a well directed shot.
