GREAT SALT LAKE.
No Living Thing in it and No Danger
of Being Drowned.
The water of the Great Salt Lake,
Utah, is clear and transparent, with a
bottom of tine white sand and a mar
gin of incrusted salt. It is one of the
purest and most concentrated brines
in the world. Its waters give sus
tenance to no living thing; there is
not the smallest insect or worm to
frighten the most timid bather, and
the bathing is the most perfect sea
bathing in the whole of North Ameri
ca or in Europe. No human body can
sink in it. Your body will persistent
ly rise up, the shoulders above the
surface, or you may even sit down in
it. Its wonderful buoyancy must be
experienced to be realized. No
knowledge of swimming is necessary;
one may enter the lake without the
slightest fear; all you have to do is to
lie down and float. But to swim in it,
that is another thing. When your
hands are put under the water to take
a stroke, your feet, like Banquo’s
ghost, will not go down. It is im
possible to keep more than one end
of your body under water at a time.
Nearly half a million people bathe in
the Great Salt Lake every year; they
Dome from all over the world, and
tourists are beginning to realize that
Salt Lake City with its magnificent j
surroundings presents the greatest
scope of novelty, and is destined to
be a leading watering place.
Salt Lake City and Great Salk Lake
Eire best reached via the Denver & Rio
Grande and the Rio Grande Western.
Via this route the traveler has a choice
of two lines through the Rocky moun
tains—via Royal Gorge, Leadville, j
canon of the Grande river and Glen- :
wood Springs, or via Marshall Pass j
and the Black canon of the Gunnison; i
and if a round trip ticket is secured
reading both ways via “The Scenic
Line of the World and “The Great
Salt Lake Route” one line may be
used going and the other returning.
Through sleeping and dining cars
from Chicago and St. Louis to San
Francisco and Portland are run daily
via this route. Tourist rates now in
effect. Writes. Iv. Hooper, G. P. &
T. A., Denver, Colo., for illustrated
pamphlets describing fully the scenic
attractions.

An authorized and subscribed Capital is a convenient tiling
good tiling for advertising purposes, but to be perfectly honest,

could have had, just as easily, a Subscribed Capital of
