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.

Newest Picture of Sweetheart
of Wolter Who Dies for Murder
The latest photograph of Katie Muel- .
ler, the little German girl, who was
the leading witness against Albert Wol
ter, whose trial for the murder of Ruth
Wheeler resulted in a death verdict
the lake has been steadily and gradual
ly rising, until the fear at present is
that it may not stop till untold damage
has been done.
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

and troubled me very much. I

was living with Wolter at the time of
the murder insists that he is not guilty
and says that she would marry him

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.”

Too Much Glory For Barber.
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
