THE ROADS

Z county Juuse - N o4,a
70 nerform the duties expected
. road commissioner 1t has
Ben suggested to US since our r
ticle of last week on the roao
,estion that it is the business OF
county judge to DO those
bings which we suggested @ woulo
done by a road commissioner
= ia not. First, and most
rominentIy, because the county
doe is not road commissioner
tbis county. True, he has
ome authority over the road slt-
alton and could exercise that
Kuthority to the extent of super
kisine the road work if ne chose
IL do so, but he doesn't see fit to
fIo it, and it is not specifically
MADE his duty to DO so'
n The public would be ungener'
bus to expect the county judge to
Supervise the road work because
Ehe does not receive salary that
Ewould Justify him in giving his
Mime to the road work. The
Icounty judge in this county re.
ceives yearly compensation OF
$500, payable in county warrants
which have been below par since
the memory Of man runneth not
to the contrary, and at some
times almost worthless. The sal
ary of the county judge has not
been changed in thirty or forty
years, despite the many other
changes that have occurred IN
county affairs and county gov
ernment. 1t is the same as when
the county was less populous and
the business Of the office not
nearly so great. 1t is the same
as before the upper district was
created and additional courts i'm
posed upon the judge. The as
sessor, who is not charged With
the responsibility OF guardian
ship over the county's funds;
with the equitable settlement OF
estates with widows and orphans
and many other responsible du.
ties, makes more money from his
office than the county judge is
able to get from his. The sur
veyor, who is competent and at
tends to his business, will make
more money than the judge
is able to get from his cflice.
The representative, from whom
little good is expected and little
received, makes more money,
honestly, from his office than the
county judge is able to get from
his-and several times as much
dishonesty If he ia smooth
enough to attract attention and
will remove the lid from his con-
science, TO place upon the
county judge the duties OF road
commissioner without additional
compensation would be an inj1s.
tice Of which our people certain
ly could not be capable, and it is
folly to talk about the county
judge supervising the road work
under present conditions.

GREAT SALT LAKE.
An Immense Fresh Water Sea Some
Thousands of Years Ago.

! Thousands of Years Ago.
In glacial times Great Salt lake was
a magnificent fresh water lake the size
of Lake HurOn-that is. about $4,000
square miles-and had its outlet into
the Port Neuf. the Snake and the CO.
years ago. but since that time the eli
mate has become arid. and not enough
water has fallen owe the Great basin
to supply that lost by evaporation.
Consequently the lake has ceased TO
flow from its outlet and gradually dried
up from over Il thousand feet deep to
fifteen feet and from 5000 square
miles in area to less than LOO.
1t is now seventy miles long and
about thirty wide. but is beautiful
still and is the home of myriadS of
SEA birds ard other waterfowl. It is
the great resort of the people Of Utah.
for from BOND to $500 visit its shores
daily in the summer. and many battle
in its waters. The lake contains about
1.0G0. Wn0.CHD tons of salt.
When the lake is high the salt is so
diluted thai it has gone down 10 II
per cent. When it is low. as it vas
not many years ago. it reached satura-
ton which for the mixed Ingredients
of the water is SO per cent.
There is nothing mysterious about it
any more than there would be about Il
t.:icup with Il teaspoOnful of salt in
the bottom. If Il tablespoonful of
water were put in the cup on the salt
it would taste very salty. but if the
cup were filed TO the brim with water
it would not.
The salt has come from the wafer of
the rivers flowing into it since it
ceased t. flow from its outlet. All
river water contains salt. and the IN
nual evaporation of from twO TO five
cubic miles of this water leaves large
quantities Of salt behind. and so it has
accumulated for thousands of years.
