IT REALLY WORKS By IOM Bl SSL I BL KG ANTFLOPE ISLAND -Although Antelope Island may not sport any of its namesake, these days, the Great Salt Lake island is hosting thousands of those most curious of creatures of another sort-hosapiens--a- s it becomes a tourist drawing card mo ON A recent visit to the 23,X)0 acre island, Cleat field of Commerce Chamber members were able to view some of the facilities constructed by the State Parks and Recreation Division at the park on the island's northern tip Gordon Tenney, information specialist for the state agency, told the group that Antelope Island is home of the oldest continually operating ranch, started more than 100 years ago. EXPLORER Capt. John C. Fremont visited the island in 1845 and found antelope grazing there and killed some for food and named the island in their honor, some reports say. Others say Jim Bridger dis- covered antelope when he visited the island The Mormons changed the name to Church Island because Brigham Young maintained a herd of cattle there and used it for outings. And just three years after the Mormon pioneers arrived in the area, Stansbury, Capt. Howard whose namesake graces another Great Salt Lake island, conducted a survey of the area from Antelope Island. AND UH1LE island owners changed, the George Frary family is often remembered because of its presence on the island for about 50 years In 1892, Mr. Frary transported 12 buffalo to the island from Garfield Beach and from that dozen more than 400 grazed on the island at one time. He operated a cattle ranch and with a special boat could haul up to 40 cattle to the mainland, accounts say The island on Davis Countys western boundary Has been seen vicariously by piany as it was the scene for harts of two films, "Covered wagon" in 1922 and The Sands of Iwo Jima, filmed in (he 1940s But utilizing the take and Antelope Island hasnt been easy "I HE LAKES fluctuation has been a big problem," Mi Tenney said "Theres been Garfield Beach, Lagoon built on Farmington liay, the old Syracuse Resort, brigmally and after Saltair burned there jiave been various attempts to keep recreation going but Jhere was hardly anything in the 1950's and 10's Then the people of Utah looked at Antelope Island and now the last Jegislature appropriated Junds to get options on the privately-owne- d portion acres are privately owned and attempts Sire being made to determine the value of that property, he Said. ; All but about 2, (XX) f PARKS DIRECTOR Harold Tippetts said the wheels are now in motion in an attempt (to obtain the privately-owneSportion "We are in the process of initiating condemnation proceedings previously (announced by the Governors 'office.

At( ESS TO the island was a problem for many years until it was learned that the road had to be placed on a lesser slope so that when waves approached they wouldn't hit the causeway so directly, making it crumble quickly, he said.

More than 300,000 are visiting Antelope Island now and we spent about $00,000 here last year," Mr. Tenney said. New facilities include bath houses with showers, picnic tables and pavilions, informational displays and fresh water supplied from a well drilled on the causeway. BUT V HY not invite a big chain of hotels to dredge out a harbor and build hotels not with just 200 but 1,000 baths," Mr. Tenney said. Plans have been outlined for trade bazaars, a monorail and other facilities, for the lakes south shore. Funds totalling $3 6 million have been assigned for South shore development, Mr. Tippetts said. Now that we have a water system to the site that will be for a sewage u'-e- collection system, beach facilities and for dredging MR. TIPPETTS said plans call for leaving Antelope Island in as natural a state as We felt it should be possible kept in a more pristine state It needs more water, trails and campgrounds but we dont want high density development and a lot of heavy resort areas. On the south shore we would like to see resort development and use of private capital But theres no reason why private enterprise couidn't develop facilities m west Syracuse." Noting that eight million people pass through the area yearly he said, The traveler spends an average of $28 a day in Utah If we could just get half of them to stay I think if we had to pay $10 million to get the island it would pay for itself with tourist dollars The Great Salt Lake in unique and should be developed. PART OF that uniqueness comes in a nearly completely fresh-wate- area r of water standing beside a section with 28 percent salt content When the causeway was completed, the south side retained fresh water flowing into it from various rivers and springs while the north side has kept a high salt content, Mr Tenney said The boater can take advantage of the two water types by boating m the salt water portion and then taking his boat into the fresh area for a rinse, he said. The lake and the island are a place to get away from it all. "The island is about the same size as Island but it has eight people compared to eight million, he said The eight are park personnel and their families. Manhatten THE VISITOR can enjoy jack rabbits, foxes, plentiful1 and varied bird hie, and may even see some of the several dozen mule deer, Mr Tenney said They say there are many seagulls who go to such Syracuse Syra-Lit- a The Club members will gather at the Chateau Reception Center in Layton next Monday evening, Oct. 9, at 7 p m for their opening social of the new year.
