TYPHOID ON THE INCREASE
Eight Cases of Dread Malady Re-
ported Last Week-Must Keep
Clean to Avoid Epidemic,

Typhoid fever is rapidly becoming prev
alent in the city, and according to the
health authorities another epidemic IF
this disease like the one of 1907 may visit
the city. During the last week there were
eight cases of this malady reported to
the department of health, which IS more
than for any other week OF this year.
Typhoid fever is most to be feared in
this climate from Aug. l until the time The
ground freezes in November or Decem-
Der. This is due TO the fact that the ac-
emulation of filth from the summer
months is just now becoming dangerous
because people as a rule clean up only
once a year and that in the spring. II the
city could be cleaned thoroughly now and
all rubbish and debris destroyed there
would be far less danger of a spread o.i
the malady.
There were also reported three cases If
diphtheria. five of whooping cough and
one of tuberculosis, making sixteen cases
of contagious diseases in all.
There were thirty-twO births, nineteen
males and thirteen females, and twelve
deaths. seven males and five females.
Five bodies were shipped hither for
burial.

The lake, Americas Dead sea-" is
the source of unceasing interest to the
thousands of tourists who pass through
Salt Lake during the year. They find 1t
hard to understand how these yearly
harvests of salt can be gathered from
lake which for ages has received the
steady flow of fresh waters from four
large rivers. There is no outlet to. the
lake. All the fresh water that the
rivers empty into it remains there until
/ evaporated by the sun. AS the lake is
shallow throughout most of the area
of 200 square miles, this taking away
of water through the effects of the sun
must be rapid. While the amount of
solids in the water varies with condi-
tons and the seasons, there Is always
enough salt to keep the harvest hands
busy. The lake is 1900 feet above the
level of the sea, and this fact is an
other puzzle for the tourists. Each
party of sightseers that views the lake
is prOliHc OF theories CoHcerliliiS tiie
origin of the lake and the manner IN
which the inland salton sea was lifted
nearly a mile higher than the oceans.
There is only one other body of water
in the world that can compare with
the Great Salt lake. This is the Dead
sea of Palestine. In the Dead sea the
water contains 90 per cent of solids.
The water of Great Salt lake contains "A
per cent solids, and more salt and soda
than the water of the Dead sea.
1t is estimated that Great Salt lake
now contains II. $50. 1886. zoe, 900 pounds, or
$3.50, 1853, 500 tons, of salt and 7S4.0S0, 000
tons of sulphide of soda.
This would enable the salt harveSters
to continue work at the present rate for
| 200, 900 years.

victory wrought has ever been the adj

sponded to the call, and not only bat
tied for the right, but stood firm and
steadfast at his post of duty till the
cruel hand of the assassin dealt the
deathblow that laid TO rest the grand
est type of American manhood the
world has ever known. Our present
time was calling for a man. man of
strength and character, of integrity
and firmness of purpose. So our peO-
Pile called for a leader, a man who had

their judgment was weak. We had

Utah will soon commence to harvest

salt will begin about Sept. / The In

we must take up the trend of thought

the times Of the construction and the
principles by which the acts of the men
who produced the constitution of the

continue to advance along the line of
their purpose as developed in their
work.
Opportunity of the Masses.
Figures, statistics, dates of times and
places are not, as a rule, retained long
in the minds of the everyday laboring
man. But the causes, acts, results and
facts, should be so expressed and eX-
planned as to impress upon the voters
of this country to show and convince
them that they and not the selfish few
hold the situation firmly and executive
ly in their own hands.
There is. thank God, twice in the poor
mans state of existence and non-eX-

the money barons of the land, and that
is when he deposits the power he holds
in his hands in the ballot box and the
other is when he demands of his fell
low1nen the -three-by-siX-fo lot that
all are entitled to. In the former case
he enjoys the blessed knowledge that
the horny hand of toll and poverty
yields a power equal to the hand of
the millionaire. In the latter he is ac-
knowledsed by his Creator to be enti-
tied 10 the same consideration and dis
pOsal as the rich man, and with as
