HOAD DEFIES THE MYSTERY Of SALT LAKE Union Pacific Will Not Aban don the L u c I i n Cutoff, "Harriman’s Folly." IT MAY BE SUBMERGE! Vicinity of Lake Shows Tha' In Prehistoric Times It Has Been Higher Than Now, Salt Lake, Utah, April 30. —The mys -tery of Great Salt Lake le more puz eling today than it ever has been, anc it is especially puzzling to officials ol the Union Pacific railway who hav< been here this week. The lake is still rising, and fear hat seized the railway men that it may sub merge the Lucin cutoff, which a year 01 two ago was heralded as one of th< greatest of modern engineering feats end now is sometimes characterized as “Harriman’s Folly.” Whenrit was planned to construct this cut-off across a corner of Salt lake tc shorten the transcontinental mileage ■of the Union Pacific the engineers’ es timate of cost was $4,500,000, but by the time it was ready for the operation of trains it was found that the cost totaled $8,000,000. Since then changes and repairs have brought the cost of the work up to about $14,000,000, and the stockholders think it is now time ito abandon the big trestle. May Abandon to Cutoff. Robert 8. Lovett, now the head of tha iHarriman lines, was in Salt Lake City dor the purpose of fully investigating the cut-off and then deciding whether or not it shall be abandoned. Whfti Darius Miller, president of the Burlington, was here he told callers some interesting things about the Lu clin cut-off, but, according to his view point, there is no intimation on the part of the Union Pacific officials of abandoning the project. According to Mr. Miller, the cut-off is to be raised five feet, which, it is thought, will bring it above the crest of the huge waves which sometimes roll over the lake and damage the ap proaches to the cutoff. Salt lake is now higher than it has over been in modern times, but, of course, to students of the remarkable past of this body of water there were periods when it was much higher than at present. This is a feature which only adfis to the mystery of the lake. But five or six years back it was so Jow that many of the residents of Salt Lake City thought it was drying up, and they feared the city was about to lose one of its chief charms and tourist, drawing features. The bath house at > baitair was left far in shore and bath- I ers had to waik out on piers nearly half a mile long.

The vicinity of the lake shows that in ages gone it has been much higher than it is today, as there is a series if rings around the circumference which look like railroad grades, but which in reality are beaches of the long ago. And this seems to prove that the lake does not rise and fall by intermittent spells, but during certain periods which would include eras of perhaps fifty or one hundred years, <s it would take that long to form the beaches. Another mysterious feature about the lake is the gain and loss in the per centage of salt which the water con tains. The percentage of saline matter gets as low ss 21, which is about the condition today, and it has been known "Hood's Sarsaparilla has no equal for cleansing the blood and expelling the humors that accu mulate during the winter. This spring pimples covered my face and troubled me very much. I took Hood's and they all disap peared.” Ralph Rust, Millis, Mich. in New York. The Mueller girl, who was living with Wolter at the time of the murder insists that he is not guilty and says that she would marry him qven if he were. to go as high as 35 per cent within the recollection of the Mormons. Changes in Lake Unexplained. After years of research but little light has been shed upon the troubled past of Salt lake. From whence it re ceives its supply of salt, and why tt rises and falls have never been explain ed. Four fresh water rivers feed the lake, but they apparently do not con trol the increase or the diminishing of the percentage of salt in the water. Furthermore, in the mountains sur rounding the lake are found specimens of -the group of crustacean fossils known as trilobites, and these in their period of the earth's formation lived only at the bottom of the deepest seas. The question today is, will the great railroad syndicate be able to solve the mystery of Salt lake, or will it be forced to bow to its unknown power and abandon the work which has cost ! the company and its stockholders so much time and money! FAVORSIiIRTING AFTER MARRIAGE London, April 30. —Lady McLaren as serts that wives should flirt—with their husbands. And as Lady McLaren is the author of the “Woman’s Charter,” as they term the nine bills bearing on the liberties and rights of women which Sir Charles McLaren sponsored , in the house of commons, her affirma tion that this home flirtation proposi tion is the secret of domestic bliss has attracted more than passing attention and discussion. “Every man,” said she, “wants a wife who is never too overburdened to hook her frock straight and wear a clean collar and laugh and flirt with her husband.” “Many hsubands and wives, after a few years of matrimony, settle down in to a sort of dull, colorless respectabil I ity,” said Lady Troubridge, a well known novelist, in approving Lady Me I Laren’s contention. “Frankly, they lose interest in each other; they need waking up. A clever wife could pre vent just such a catastrophe by judi ciously flirting with her husband. But by flirting I do not mean the reviving of the kittenish airs and graces of ‘sweet seventeen.’ An attempt of that kind might have exactly an opposite effect. “I mean she should flatter him oc casionally, tell him that he is a very good fellow, show him plainly that her love and affection for him are even stronger than in their courtship days. It is a well-known fact that to love is । much better than to be in love. The former is a full grown tree, the latter a little sapling planted in the earth. Happy husbands and wives realize this truism more and more as they go ' j through life, and flirtation keeps them young hearted and gay. Indeed, I be lieve in wives flirting with their hus bands.” “Flirting between husband and wife would bore them both to death,” in sisted a prominent bon vivant, one of the cynics of a West End club, but who exacted a pledge that his name I would not appear in print. “1 don’t think it is fair to expect the roses and raptures of love to outlive the first few years of married life. After a few , years of matrimony no woman’s heart I beats quickly when she hears her hus , band's foot npon the stair. And I don’t I; see what good is going to be got by pre- I tending that it does. Thus flirting would । bore both husband and wife. It would Ibe an empty, hollow farce. It would be — without mint sauce.” L Ax'i Ai\‘i OAi V MlUli 1 zllN UHLL 1 1 C GREAT MAY SALE —LSL"»-‘"FOR one week commencing tomorrow BEGINNING tomorrow we inaugurate our annual May Sale of Women’s Ready-to Wear Apparel, Men’s Clothing, Furnishings, Dress Goods, Etc., for one week only.

In our great northern town of Lille lives a literary barber, a Arthur Lefevre. Not satisfied with the reputa tion which came to him through judi cious use of lather and razor, he de cided to seek fame in the field of litera ture. Accordingly he wrote a play and set out for Paris. Parisians are always on the lookout for novelty, so they tendered him a great banquet. The generous play wrights declared a barber might as well write a good play as a society woman. So’they welcomed the barber royally. On the bill of faro were dishes a la Shakespeare, a la Moliere, a la Victor Hugo. On the back of the menu was the barber's portrait. On one side was a shaving brush, on the other side a goose quill. The symbolism was de clared to be most subtle. After each speech the barber was j kissed on'both cheks like the president of the American chamber of commerce when he is decorated by a minister of France on the Fourth of July. Of course, all this homage went quite to the head of the poor barber, who when his turn came to reply to all the praises heaped upon him ho Could only stammer. “It is a dream, gentlemen; it is a dream.” He was applauded to the echo, but alas! he could go no fur ther. His voice clung to bis jaws, as I Horace would say. And now he has returned to his i! razor, aud whenever a customer enters i for a shave he is heard to mutter, “It , is a dream; it is a dream Stepping Stone to Academy. J There is a lively contest being ear ried on in Paris just now for the presi dency of the Society of French Men of Letters. The actual president, M. Georges LecotMte, does not intend to sek re-election. The favorite candidates are M. Jules Bois and M. Rene Dumic. Jules Bois is i a powerful writer. He was engaged to ! be married to the great prima donna 1 Emma Calve. She broke off the engage ment because he was too exacting about a marriage settlement. Jules Bois has been acting as secretary of the Lafayette society, founded in Paris by Flaring Gill, a brother-in-law of the late Cornelius Vanderbilt.
