BUY LAKE OF SALT
AND PEOPLE LAUGH
Purchasers Proceed to Draw
Hundred Tons of Salt Per
Day From Investment

Senlac. Saskatchewan-When five
capitalists of Calgary bought q small
lake ear Senlac recently the coun-
try people laughed. The joke was
that h~ard-headed business men should
be SO foolish as to invest real none
in 2S7 acres Of water.
The lake has been known for year
as the Dead sea. Though a few miles
away rich farm lands stretch on
every side, the country Immediately
about 1t is a desolate, treeless prairie.
Encircling IL are beaches white with
heavy incrustations Of salt that at a
distance resembles the breaking Of
continuous surf. In its snowy Dor
der the green lake suggests a giant
emerald set in white enamel.
Boys who swim In its deep holes
can lie on the surface without motion
as on a feather bed and could 20 TO
sleep comfortably IL they wished.
Standing upright without touching
the bottom, nearly half their bodies
are out of the water. Those who dive
bob up to the surface like corks. II
is almost impossible to sink.
Before purchasing the worthless"
pond the c~apitalistic quintette had the
water analysed. 1t contained from
SO to 55 per cent salt. This is a salt
content greater than that Of the Dead
sea In Palestine and five times great
er than that of the Great Salt Lake
in Utah. The Saskatchewan lake Is
believed to be the saltiest body of
water In the world.
The new proprietors began at once
to operate a solar plant on the shores
to extract the salt from the water.
Its output is ter tons a day. They
have begun the erection of an evap-
Grafton plant which, 1t is said, will
increase production to 500 tons a
day. The salt is the kind used for
packing, refrigeration and livestock.
The lake. once regarded as worth
less. will prove. It is said. a gold mine
to Its owners. Experts declare 1t
contains enough salt to supply all
western Canada and make 1t indepen-
dent Of Utah. from which most Of the
country's salt heretofore has been
imported. The lake has neither inlet
nor outlet. but is fed by saline springs
which well up. II is believed from
vast salt deposits deep in the earth.

looked upon as one of the marvels
Of the scientific world. DR.. Osigian

WHARF
OFFERED CITY
Elmwood Mclaughlin Would
Aid in Establishment of Mum
icipal Docks for Pensacola
HAS NO STRINGS TO 1T
Only Reservation Made Is Right
to Run Tracks to Dock on
Equal Terms With City

The city was offered fee simple title
to tract of land known as Perdido
wharf, valued at approximately $780,
600, yesterday afternoon, providing the
Land be used upon which to build the
municipal docks. The offer was made
by Edward Mclaughlin and was Of
fered to boost the possibility of finally
completing the Mclaughlin railway
running between Pensacola and Mo-
bile.
The offer was made without any
rights reserved or asking any special
privileges with the exception of GER
tain rights for trackage of his rail-
way. The city was offered the rights
to channel through any section of his
adjoining property and in either di-
rection as most convenient in reach
ing deep water. The proposition was
referred to the city attorney for legal
advice and the city engineer for a re-
port on the advisability of the site
for the docks.
City Engineer Jarrett will make a
survey of the ground and report back
to the commissioners whether or not
the site would be suitable from an en-
gineer's viewpoint for the municipal,
docks. Attorney Jones will criticise
the offer from a legal standpoint and
advise whether it would - wise for
the city to accept the proposition or
ask that the offer be amended.
