Shrinking Great Sait Lake
Could Return to Old Size
SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 16—(U.R)
—Utah's famed Great Salt lake,
which once spread over parts of
three states, could grow back to
its gigantic old size in 25,000 years.
It would take just a slight
change in climate to recreate the
old Lake Bonneville that once
filled the great Bonneville basin,
in the opinion of Arthur E. Gran-
ger, regional federal geologist in
Salt Lake City.
Granger based his prediction on
data gathered while preparing an
educational film on the history of
the lake. He pointed out that a
one or two-inch increase in preci-
pitation coupled with a year 'round
temperature drop of a lew degrees
would do the trick.
He predicted that the drop in
temperature would be sufficient in
the high mountains surrounding
the lake to store the increase of
years only the relatively tiny Great
Salt lake of today was left, to-
gether with two strange-looking
mountains that are actually moun-
tain tops, their bases buried In
ancient salt.
The lake left a parched desert
landscape, flat and salty, feared
and avoided by the Indians. The
early pioneers, Jim Bridger and
Peter Ogden, were among the first
to explore the shrunken salt lake.
However, while others passed on,
afraid of the wasteland, Mormon
leader Brigham Young eyed the
fertile uplands east of the lake i
and there settled his new '•Zion.” | ;
But despite the thriving towns
and communities, some close to the
shores of the present lake, few per-
sons go near It, except on the I
southeastern slopes where limited
beach and bathing opportunities
are offered. At present the lake is |
27 percent salt and tourists seem j

Labor Board
Issues Order
WASHINGTON. Jan. 16—(U.R)—
Employes at the Oklahoma City
terminal of Santa Fe Trail Trans-
portation company today were
ordered to halt “unfair labor prac-
tices” aimed at forcing Santa Fe
to stop doing business with the El
Reno, Okla., Transfer and Storage

The order, issued by the national
labor relations board, was directed
at local 886 of the General Driv- !
ers. Chauffeurs, Helpers and Ware- |

The union was charged with vio-
lating the national labor relations

period of 25,000 years the lake
could regain its former size, about
the same as that of Lake Michigan.

The lake thus dropped about 375
feet in a relatively short time.
However, once it had receded be-

break-through was believed to have
been one of the largest in the his-
tory of the earth.
From this stage the lake slowly
receded by evaporation and re-
duced precipitation. Geologists be-
lieve the process took perhaps
100,000 years. Others, including
Granger, place the age of the lake
at 25,000 years.
