FISH NOW LIVE IN SALT LAKE.

Becoming Fresh.

Damming OF the northeastern part
of Great Salt Lake, which is known
locally as Bear River bay, by the
building of the Lucin cutoff OF the
Southern Pacific company has, in less
than ten years, caused that part OF
the saltiest body of water in America
to become entirely fresh. The bay.

into the lake. Bear river flows into
the northern part of the bay and this

a continual flow of salty water
through the outlet.
Results of the years of gradual

abound in that part OF the lake and
water fowl have made II their COM

part of the lake nothing can live.
