Great: Salt Lake Drying Up.

=
Paris ard London scientists who are
interested in the subject are obtaining
from the Southern Pacific officials all
the data they brave collected since the
completion of the Central Pacific rail-
road some thirty-five years ago about
the gradual drying UP of the Great Salt
lake. Collecting facts on that subject
was hobby Of Senator Leland Stan
ford, and the information gathered by
him and since his aeath in 1881 by
others in the railroad conclusively
proves that the drying up process is
rapidly going on.
From these data 1t appears that the
lake has been receding steadily since
1875. In the sixteen years between
1886 and 1909 there has been total
fall Of about - feet. Proportlonately
the GALL In the level of the lake during
the past three years has been much
greater, and at the present rate the
lake will dry up within forty years and
become dry. extensive bed Of salt.
The large diversion Of water from
streams emptying into the lake for
purposes of irrigation, together with
constant evaporation, is. OF course, the
simple explanation Of why this un-
ique body Of salt water. about 1900
feet in altitude and LOO miles inland
from the shores of the Pacific ocean,
will in Il few years be thing OF the
past,

Largest in tho Town, is Entirely De-
stroyed-Boone Fire Department

Company.
Special to Times Republican.

Ogden, Dec. 27.--Gritty work by the
volunteer firemen Of Ogden, assisted
later by the department from Boone,
which was brought up on special
train over the Northwestern, alone
prevented the total destruction of q
large portion of the business section of
ogden by fire last evening. AS it Is,
three business houses are in ruins, and
damage variously estimated at from
$4,000 to $4,000 has been caused.
The fire started at about 10 o'clock
In the evening in the rear Of the Beck
& McCaskey bowling alley. which was
located in frame building situated
almost at the west end Of business
block: The flames, driven by strong
northwest wind started to work their
way east. The restaurant owned by
ALI L. Johnson stood next to the bow
ling alley, and was entirely destroyed.
The flames next attacked the brick
building occupied by the Rundberg
furniture store. one of the largest bust
ness houses in Ogden. This was also
entirely destroyed. The walls have
fallen in, and the contents will be prac-
tically a total loss.
The volunteer firemen of Ogden
fought the flames bravely, having good
pressure from the city water works.
Three streams were kept constantly
on the flames. When the Boone de-
partment arrived, the force of the
fighters was greatly augmented, and
the flames were speedily brought under
control.
The grocery Of AL r. Johnson stood
next to the furniture store, and was
slightly damaged before the fire was
fully extinguished.
At 1915 the Boone department was
loading it's apparatus preparatory to
leaving for home.
The damage might have been much
greater had 1t not been for the brick
walls of the Rundberg furniture store,
which furnished a serious obstacle to

About That Amount.
Special to Times Republican.
Davenport, Dec. 27.-George Lued-
ers, receiver of the New Liberty Saw
ings bank, thru his attorney Lane &
Waterman, has filed an inventory
showing the condition Of the New
Liberty Savings bank as near as can
be ascertained.
The report shows that the total as
sets Of the bank are $191,995.79 and the
liabilities to be $117,S83.72.
This would indicate that the money
due the concern was in excess of its
debts and that 1t would be able to pay
its creditors dollar for dollar or In
other words that it was in a solvent
condition at the time 1t was closed.
From the statements made by the
officers in charge, however, such will
not be the state of affairs when the
money owing the bank is called in.
AS near as can be ascertained at the
present time there Is included In the
assets given in the inventory about
$4,000 worth of paper which will real
lie little if anything and the officers
figure that when the money owing the
bank has all been called as far as pos
sible the assets will yield but little more
than 100000. This will give the cred
itors of the bank something over so
cents on the dollar

Science Is DOING wonders these days in
Medicine as we'll as In mechanics. Since
Adam lived, the human race has been
troubled with dandruff, for which no hair
preparation has heretofore proved sue
cessful cure until Newbro's Herpicide was
put on the market. 1t is a scientific prep
aration that kills the germ that makes
dandruff or scurf by digging into the
scalp to got Mt the root of the hair, where
It saps the vitality; causing itching scalp,
falling hair and finally badness. With
out dandruff hair must grow 1uxlriantly.
