Day Breaks Gently

Not long after leaving the last bird
behind us. day began breaking gently
Fremont island was to our right, being
high mountain peak lifting its head
out of the lake; Promontory Point was
just a few miles ahead; and a tiny
dark line to the westward was the rail,
road on the trestle, the Lucin cutoff.
This we reached in about six hours
sailing time from Saltair, distance of
about forty miles, most Of the way
pulling hard on craft with d slower
engine.
At Promontory point we breakfasted
around huge driftwood boulire, took
photographs at sunrise, and watched
the trains go by. Promontory point is
the peninsula from the north separating
Bear. River bay (thc northeast arm Of
the lako) and the main lake to the
west, and is the last land on the cut
OF out Of Ogden, though thorc are sew
era miles Of track across Bear River
bay cast of this point.

Plan Is Frustrated

i, The original intention was to grade
the entire distance across this eastern
arm of the lake but Bear river flow was
too great and required considerable
trestlipg to afford flow at safe speed
southwark into the main lake. AS re.
suit Of tins condition, Bear river bay
is appreciably less saline now than the
rest of the lake, and will ultimately
become fresh, On Promontory point is
hotel for the railroad workers, and
a postoffice for tho trestlo trackmen
and wstchmen and for the employees
at Midlske station.
