ABOUT UTAH LAKE.
Water Lower Than Ever Before, Says a
Local Engineer.

Utah lake is lower nov than It was
ever known to be heretofore, accord
ing to old timers living In the vicinity,
who claim that in the deepest part the
depth is but II feet, Two OF the pumps
at the outlet Of the lake have stopped.
as the demand for irrigating water Is
not as strong as II was, antd the other
two are supplying 100 second feet for
the canals in the salt Lake valley. The
lower stratum Of Utah lake water IL
heavily charged with dissolved vege-
table matter, and this is proving a fine
fertilizer for lands irrigated below. In
expensive dredging has made 1t easier
to draw the water so that the pumps
do not have to be worked so hard. II
has been noted of late that there is
rather heavy seepage into the lake from
sources that We're not known before the
lakes level was lowered TO It's present
point which is about i've feet below
compromise point.
