Tulsa, 0kla.-Oklahoma' great salt
desert, for years one of the most spec

GREAT SALT DESERT
WILL BECOME A LAKE

For years tourists have visited the
region, riding in automobiles across
the brittle white surface of the UNI
natural desert" shading their eyes
from the intense glare of the light
reflected from the salty carpet and
gazing off at mirages produced by the
combination of sun and salt. For
years, too, residents of the little town
of Cherokee, Okla, four miles to the
west, have used the plains as picnic
grounds because evenings are cool out
on the salt slopes, where no buildings
shut out the breeze. There 1t re-
mains light long after dark. And there
are no flies or mosquitoes to poster
pleasure seeking folk.
The preliminary survey of the plains
has been completed, and the lands
have been turned over, by executive
order. of President Hoover, to the bio
logical survey. The actual waterline
of the salt plains lake was begun in
1890. Engineers plan to complete the
final survey, after which it is probable
construction will get under way.
Residents of the salt desert region
look with high favor upon the pro-
posed new lake., a salt lake that will
be surpassed in size by only two 9TH
ers in the United States-the Great
Salt lake in Utah and the Salton sea
in southern California.
