Possibilities of Salt Bed.

1t was also learned that instead Of
being a disagreeable ride in an auto
mobile, it would always he recommend
ed by tourists rs one of the most in
teresting spots from coast to coast In
the center of the desert is solid bed
OF salt some thirty miles in length and
probably the best natural speedway to
be found on the globe. SO enthusiastic
was Mr.. Westgard over this find that
he Immediately wired headquarters Of
the American Automobile association
that he had located the one spot in the
world where the Ormond beach record
could be broken. The surface is so
hard that rain or snow does not affect
it and the tourist could maintain rec"
ord breaking speed across 1T IN all
kinds of weather, winter or summer,
When it rains the water sometimes
reaches n depth of from two to three
inches and on account of the absolutely
level nature Of the surface it remains
where it falls until the sun carries 1T
away through evaporation,
But this results in nature freak,
perhaps found no other place on earth
When the wind comes up 1t sweeps
across the surface Of the salt bed and
carries the water with it until the edge

water STAYS until another wind comes
along and carries it back again. AS
result it frequently happens that sew
eral miles of water is thus picked up
on one spot Of the desert. carried along
for several miles and deposited. One
NAV cross the desert on perfectly dry
surface and como along couple Of
hours later and encounter an inch OF
water, vet it may not have rained for
days. This is the story told the party
by 8. A Godfrey, who lives at the salt
works In tho middle Of the desert.
On account Of these peculiar condi-
tions, according to Roadmaster Ritchie,
Of Wendoyor. it was necessary for the
Western Pacific to construct small
wooden cuIverts through the fill of the
roadbed When one Of these small
lakes takes a notion TO move to another
part Of the desert the water backs up
against the railroad fill and washes it
away. By using the small culverts at
frequent intervals. the water piling no
on one side OF the track. runs through
to the other side and continues on its
Journey in whichever direction the
wind happens to be blowing at the
time.
On each side of the salt bed is mud
flat which needs road building before
it will be passable for an automobile,
This work would cost about $4,000 and
when completed would give the shortest
route from Salt Lake west. This is
the route Pathfinder Westgard. Mr.
Evans and the writer thinks should be
constructed for automobiles.

LARGER TIRES ARE
HERE, SAYS HUMPHREY

Bigger tires and diversified tires are
the slogan for 1913, according to Man.
ager G. II. Pumphrey Of the Utah Tire
and Rubber company The automobile
manufacturer has been long time
coming to it, declares Mr.. Humphrey,
but a careful study of next season s
ears shows marked increase in the
size of tires.
''For years wc have been preaching
larger and diversified tires to our Gus
TONERS and III many cases have thom
educnted to our way Of thinking says
Mr.. Humphrey. GAS a result the Fire
stone tire has hundreds of friends in
Utah, The larger tires have an extra
layer of canvas, they have more rubber
on the tread, and for these two rea.
sons wear longer, But that is not all,
they go through mud and sand easier
because they present larger surface
and above all they ride easier md save
the cars from hard bumps. 1t is cheap

big mud spot became known on the
map as-the Great Salt Lake desert and

average person ever became acquainted
with this desert.
Since the pioneers settled in this val

stumbling block for travel westward.
Horses and oxen were unable to cope
with its miles Of mud, sand and g. total
absence of water; and many bones now

desert lay an impossible wall west Of
Salt Lake and travel was directed
southwark or northward, according to
the fancy Of the individual making the
trip, All were seeking to avoid the
dangers Of the desert and, as result,
many trails now thread their way

some south-each trail having its ad-

-Four years ago every electric car
was equipped with pNenuatieo or solid

1t probably won't be long now un-
til a pneumatic-equipped or solid

Pneumatic tires lost out because
they proved too kycachcrons, too

Solid tires lost oas because they
