Frankfort, KY, July 49,
That the use of her right hand

wife of Gov. Wilson, is the
opinion of the eminent specialists
of Johns Hopkins University,
who examined the broken arm,

JAPANESE WOOD TO BE

Santa Fs Brings Coco BOIa Shlpjass

Chicago, July 13.-The Atehi

This wood from Japan, when
delivered in California, cost the
railroad about $1.15 a bic, or a.
little more than is paid for
American ties. The wood is so
hard that it is said to be almost
impossible to drive a spike iRto
it, and it is expected to be capa-

600 ties.
When the ties are placed in

it will afford an accurate medium
for observation and tests. 1t is
claimed that it will then be one

and yet who seemed always to
have a generous supply of money.
People came to be very curious
regarding him, and it was finally
discovered that he made his liv-
ing by robblng the graves of the
dead. 1t was decided that he
must be dealt with severely.
Accordingly a committee of
citizens went TO his home in the
dead of the night, took him out
of bed, permitted him to get a
few belongings together and took
him to the shores of Salt Lake.
Once there they rowed him in a
boat over to Antelope Island,
where he was left, marooned.
There is not a living thing on
the island and no fresh water.
The chances are that it was i'm
possible for him to reach the
shore without a boat. However
this may be, the ghoul was never
heard from nor seen again, so
far as is known, by anyone.
Another interesting island is
called Gull, or Bird Island, which
is about twenty miles from the
north shore. 1t contains about
three acres of land, and is the
home of millions upon millions
of seagulls. Two men own Sea-
gull Island, one of whom is P.
W. Mateson. 1t is the purpose
of these men to market the fer.
tilizing material, tons of which
have been deposited by the birds.
There are eight islands in Salt
Lake, the largest of which is An.
telope. 1t is fourteen miles long
and four miles wide. The level
of the lake varies greatly with
the cycles of time. There are
what some people term the wet
and dry cycles. During the dry
periods the lake recedes, owing
TO the lack of rain and snow and
the operation of rapid evapora.
ton.
1t is during these cycles that
the rumor sprea1 Is that the lake
is rapidly drying up, but the wei
cycle soon returns, and the wat.
ers of the lake rise again. The
wet cycle Is now at its peak, and
the waters of the lake are a:

bly, were at their lowest point in
1S43. The lake gradually rose
from that period until 1867. Al
that time the lake was 100 miles
long and forty miles wide, COW
ering an area of about twenty.
five square miles.
In 1902 and 1908 the waters
.eceded almost to the mark cd
1913. Just before they began tc
rise again the Mormon church
was seriously considering the
abandonment of the present Sal
tair resort aud building a new
one fully one mile further out.
Had this been done the new re-
sort would have been Wnder way
by this time. Only q short time
age bathers were compelled Be
walk out about a mile from the
bath house in order to get waist
deep water. Now there are five
or six feet of water under the
Saltair pavilion.
The geological predecessor of
Salt Lake was Lake Bonneville,
which was about $50 miles long
and covered Utah from Arizona
to Idaho. The valleys of Utah
were the bottom of that sea,
which is supposed to have had
the salty consistency of the
ocean, which is about 3.3 per
cent.
On some prehistoric day the
waters of the sea broke through
their barriers on the north and

line the lake has gradually been
reduced by evaporation and 9th
er means to its present dimen-
sions.
The Mormons first saw the
lake on July "a, 1847, but it is
pretty we'll authenticated that
the first discovery was made by
the famous scout, Jim Brldger.
The water is about 10 per cent.
salt. The only living thing IN
the lake is a diminutive shrimp
about the size of pin head,
which is to be found In large
numbers.
The salt industry here is world
famous. One euterprising sta,
tistician resently figured it out
that the amount of sodium chic
ride in the lake would fill a
train of freight cars reaching
from the earth to the loon, and
then leave plenty of cars for the
sidings. In this connection 1t is
interesting to note that the west
shore of the sea is of pure, glis-
tening salt, fourteen miles long
and eight miles wide. This
strange sea, probable made by
the washing up of the water, is
of unknown depth and as level
as a Aoor and as white as snow.
Engineers estimate, however,
that 1t would take 480, 600, 900
freight cars to transport it to
market.
This sea of salt is the property
of the University of the State OF
Utah, which is located on one OF
the hills of Salt Lake City. The
University secured it under the
grant of saline lands, and in pro-
spectlve it makes that institu-
ton one of the richest, if not the
richest in the United States.
Railroad transportation faeil'
tiles soon will be available tt

nish an endowment which will

Ing than gifts by multimillion-
aires. Surrounding the lake are
numerous salt farms provided
with ponds which are a few feet
below the level Of the lake, anC
into which the water of the lake
is either pumped or drained to Z
depth of tive or three feet. AT
ter each evaporation a deposit Of
several inches of salt remains
This is shoveied into piles foi

dairy purposes.
The value of the annual prod.
uct probably does Rot exceed
$4,000. 1t is about 80 pei
cent pure.
1t is a cRrious fact that al
times during the winter season
when the right temperature and
the right winds prevail, the lake,
by force of ats ewn waves, sep
arates the chemicals from its
waters and deposits thousands OF
tons of soda upon the shores,
where it remains :ntil later,
when the waves again sieze il

wonder is that man has not long

ance of the lake In gathering this
soda for industrial uses.
AT present the famous Saltair
resort is operated under lease
from the Mormon Church. It's
operation is criticised, but large
crowds seek pleasure and re-
freshment daily in the waters of
the lake. The only means of
reaching it is by the trains of
the Oregon Short line, which
give frequent and rapid service.

ed SaItair.
OTHER FACTS ABOUT THE
dead SEA or AMERICA"

have reawakened general inter-
est in the Great Salt Lake, the
Dead Sea of America, which has
furnished more salt than any
mine In the world, and whose
waters in which there is practi-
cally no living thing, are said to
have wooed back to health and
strength more people than all
the doctors.
One of these facts is the re
turn Of high water, which has
brought the level of the lake
back to that of 1857, its highest
known point, and which has set
to rest whatever fear remained
that in the ages to come evapo-
ration would remove the flood
and leave the sun baked plain.
The other fact which has caus-
ed renewed interest is that Ed
ward ii. Hartman is negotiat-
ing with the elders of the Nor
mon church for a long-term lease
on Saltair, the famous Salt Lake
resort, with view to spending
at least -, 0Oe, 600 in making it
the finest bathing and water side
resort in the world.
Should the Hartman plans be
carried out, and there reems lit.
tie doubt that they will be, the
Mormon church will have its in
come considerably increased and
the Salt Lake will have a health
and pleasure resort the like of
which has never before been con-
ceived.
The plans which Mr.. Hartman
is said to have in view compre-
hend the enlargement and re-
building of Saltair, the construc.
tion of a modern trolley line,
the construction in the face eff
the bald hills of a wonderful au-
tomobile roadsleading from the
city to the lake, and the redemp.
tion of at least 400 acres of the
shore of Antelope Island for sum-
mer homes which shall be reach
ed by an electric line nrunning
eight miles across an arm Of the
lake.
This road, if it is built, VIII be
every bit as wonderful as the
Lucin cutoff, which Hartman
built at a cost of over $4,000, 900
to avoid the grades of the Union
Pacific line which ran around
the lake to the north.
The possibilities of Saltair in
the lines of pleasure and health
appealed to Mr.. Hartman the
FIRST time he saw the lake and he
has had it in mind for many
years to make it what it should
be.
The invigoratIng and curative
properties Of the water are I'M
deniable, and yet no effort has
been made to use them for the
good of mankind, with the ex-
ception, of course, of the benefit
derived from cursory bathing in
the lake. 1t is Mr.. Harriman's
idea to construct a modern pleas
nre resort of high class, with ia
cilities for remaining at the lake,
and also to establish, sep.
erately and distinctly from
this, a huge sanitarium where
the salt waters may be used for
curative purposes, especially in
nervous and nenrotic cases.
The island on which may be
established enc Of the finest sub
wbs of the future Salt Lake city
is the one General Fremont Wis
tied in 1913, driving to it from
the main laud, so low was the
water of the lake that year.
