regard to the Great Salt Lake.
He first looked upon the lake
September 6th 1843.
"Hitherto this lake had been
seen only by trappers who were
wending through the country in
search of new beaver stream*
caring very little for geography;

terrible whirlpool,through which
its waters found their way to the

matter for one to float on the sur-
face of the lake whether a swim-
mer or not but it requires care on
the part of the amateur bather to
Iqgep his head from dipping un-
der water occasionally and a gulp
of Salt Lake water is not pleas-
ant to take. But Saltair is a mag-
nificent place to bathe. The wat-
er is shallow for a long distance
out from the bathrooms and the
saltiness of the water is very ex-
hilarating. After the bath a
shower bath of fresh water and a
good rubbing down make one feel
I much refreshed after a long dusty
• journey.
After two hours at Saltair we
, returned to the city. A few
miles from Saltair we pass 100
carloads of salt recently evapo-
! rated from the water of the lake
Our stay in the city was brief

Jerry Simpson Dead.
Jerry Simpson the noted popu-

Hospital, Wichita, at 6:01 a. m.

mous distension of the large
blood vessel leading from the
heart. Mr. Simpson had been in
failing health for some time and
his death had been daily expect-
