RATS ADDED TO SALT LAKES
ATTRACTIONS,

Now Salt Lake has rats. which,
with the fdgets will go hard with the
old lady. Some one has discovered a
number of wharf rats gnawing at the
foundations OF the sllyscrapers in that
city and the alarm has spread that
the rats may topple the structures

cious and destructive 1t positively
would be unsafe for the state to in
vest any great amount of money in a
capitol in that city.
The wharf rat multplies four times
year and the first litter containing
eight or more, may reproduce once
within that period. You can figure
that out by geometrical progression
and determine how many rats Salt
Lake will have in two or three years,
if some pied piper Of HamIin is not
employed TO drown them in Great Salt
lake.
There is no jealousy with us over
this latest Salt Lake attraction EX-
curSIons may be run from over the
intermountain country, where wharf
rats have never been known to exist
so sightseers may view the rodents.

BY virtue Of original discovery and
the real estate boosters arc free to
use them as proof tnat the attractions
of Salt Lake are unlimited There Is

But It would not be a surprise. If
further investigation and a closer eX-
animation of the tail and hind feet
disclose the rodents to be muskrats.

Of huge pumps in the lake near the
