Little that was new bearing upon the

a transaction in Wagner Palace Car at an

GREAT SALT LAKE DRYING UP.
Irrigation MonopoIizing the Waters
That supply Ii.
don DC Chicago Tribnne.

(From the Chicago Tnbune.)
Before another century nears its end the
Great Salt Lake, the mysterious. tideIess
inland sea, Graded 1000 feet above the
level OF oceans. may have disappeared into
air. For three decades its shore line stead
lily has been contracting. its depth contin
ually growing less. until today its ultimate
destiny is written SO legibly that none deny
the approach The declaration that the
waters are being waited into the atmos-
phere is no figure of speech. Evaporation
is the foe which in certain course of time
under prevailing conditions, is going TO
transform the vast eXpanse of water into
a huge salt plain.
Ages ago, thousands of years, the geolo-
gists say, Great Salt Lake then a sea COW
ering the greater part, possibly the whole.
CT the great basin, began to subside, but
strangely enough, the agency which now is
fastening its disappearance is distinctly
Of human origin. OF more astonishing pur-
port still, the Mormons, who made the
valley of the Jordan widen from a narrow
strip Of green to miles on miles OF fields of
unexpected fertility, are themselves the
people who have sacrificed the lake. That
they may exist, that their rich tracts may
continue to bear, they deliberately are
quitting of the source OF fresh water sup
ply Of the mountain sea- Stagnant and
helpless, the lake is coming to lie at the
complete mercy of pitiless sun.
Not many years ago geographers and
descriptive writers took a fancy to ex-
pressing the belief that the Great Salt
Lake was fed not alone by the four rivers
which empty into it, but by the hidden
springs at the bottom. AS long as no one
took the trouble to question the asser-
tions they were accepted as facts, and by
many persons are still credited. If there
were springs at intervals along the bed of
the lake il would not matter so much
whether the rivers continued to pour their
contents into the basin. but no springs ex-
list. They were called into the pages of
textbooks and into the accounts of tray-
elers to explain why the lake is so ex-
ceptionally salt. 1t sounded much better
| to say that nature by one of its freaks
| had opened up the crust of the earth at
this point and sent volumes of briny water
bubbling forth, something after the style
of geysers and sulphur springs, than to
make the simple statement that the salt
ness, as with the ocean, was due to the
process of evaporation on a body of water
| lacking a drainage outlet, and that its ex-
| cess was the consequence of altitude.
Plainly enough, if the infiowing water be
diverted to other uses before it reaches
the lake, there will come a day when the
salt deposit, which is the result of the long
continued warfare between sun and water
Will stand exposed, its blanket gone

class of settlers in the arid districts OF
North America, have mastered the science
of irrigation. They have been studying
and experimenting for over half CEN
tury. In all the time since they entered
their promised land they have labored
with the end of making little water DO
the most possible good.
Unfortunately for the Great Salt Lake.
the lessons in economy in the usage or ir-
rigation rivulets have not served TO keep
pace with the increase in population, ana
the consequent necessity OF the continued
reclamation of arid land. All the water
for the irrigation of the Jordan Valley
the Great Salt Lake stake of the Mormon
Church, as it is denominated-must come
from the rivers which feed the lake. They
are the Jordan itself, connecting the fresh
water of Utah Lake with the larger body;
Weber River, which has its source in the
foothills of the Utah Mountains, and flows
northward, winding close to Ogden be-
fore it empties into the lake; Ogden RlVer,
a smaller stream, which parallels the
Weber for the latter half of the journey
and the Bear River, which drains the
Great Bear Lake at the north.
The Bear River is subject to irrigation
demands of the Gentiles as well as the
Mormons, since more of its course is
through Idaho than Utah, but the Weber
and the Jordan are wholly within the Nor
mon sphere of agricultural influence.
While the Gentiles divide the city popula-
tions of Utah with the Mormons, they dc
not compete with them in the farming dis
tricts. They own the mines in the noun
tains, but these need no water fer irriga-
ton. Hence 1t is that the Mormons have
themselves to thank for the lakes re-
cession.
1t has come to pass that at the driesi
seasons of the year the Weber discharges
but tiny streamlet into the lake. The
Jordan and the Bear both drain lakes
which in turn are fed by mountain streams;
hence their flows are larger than that ol
the Weber, though insignificant in com.
parison to what they once were or what
they would be again should irrigation ca.
nails and bitches cease to claim their con.
tents.
1t would seem at first thought that the
fate of Utah Lake would be identical witt
