Jasper County Democrat, Volume 4, Number 51, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 March 1902 — Great Salt Lake. [ARTICLE]

Great Salt Lake.

It is said that the human body cannot sink in Great Salt Lake; certain it is that even the inexperienced swimmer finds no difficulty In floating upon its waters. This miniature ocean is picturesquely situated among peaks of the Wasatch range; is ninety miles long by forty miles wide, and is dotted by Innumerable grassy Islands. Boats for service on these briny waters have to be constructed especially for that purpose, as a craft that would sink to water line on the ocean would ride so high as to be top-heavy and unsafe on Great Salt Lake. The most paradoxical fact relating to this body of water Is, that it is a sea almost a mile above sea level.—Four-Track News.
