Onsput Of the KIondike

No one will ever know exactly how
much gold was taken from the Klon-
dixie fields the past season. Since
the English government imposed a
royalty. the miners have adapted all
sorts of ruses to evade the law. 1t
is rather difficult to dodge taxes, but
it is more difficult to dodge a bad
cold and the grip this time of year.
When the system is weakened by
such attacks. and the blood becomes
thin and impoverished, the best
medicine to take is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters. This remedy builds up
the system. Besides regulating di-
gestion, it overcomes constipation.
1t is good for the kidneys and liver,
too, stimulating these organs into
the performance of their functions.
Nothing is so good for malaria.

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 receded mile. "The cause for
this" says The Irrigation Age. sis
said to be the excessive drain made
upon it by the irrigation enterprises
OF the Mormons. Contrary to the
theory which was accepted for time,
this great lake is not fed by under
ground 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 more
to the mercy of the sun and the at
tendant evaporation which is con-
stantly going on and which is slowly
but surely drawing the waters away
until in time only bed of dry salt
will remain. The cause of the salt
ness of the water of this mysterious
body of water has been q matter of
conjecture to scientists 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 experiments, has express
ed the conviction that if all the salt
supply in the entire world were cut
off except that found in the bed of
the Great Salt Lake, there would still
be enough to last the world for ages,
so deep is this deposit. Regarding
the decadence of the lake. writer
recently said when the Great Salt
Lake is gone it will be missed as q
wonder and as salt factory; for little
else. Its waters destroy vegetation
instead of nourishing it. Should the
fresh waters of Salt Lake, however,
be evaporated or disappear into the
earth thousands of square miles would
cease to be habitable. Some years
ago the Utah Lake region was made
government reservation. an act
which has kept irrigation companies
from drawing water either directly
from it or from its feeders"
