There was poor Jimmie Ryan, who was
always on the track of the tabled
galleon. which had been stranded on
the desert about Ehrenberg. There Is
a story to tho effect that q buccaneer-
ing Spaniard with a galleon laden with
gold sailed UP the Colorado River and
following one of the branches was
wrecked by the sudden receding OF the
waters and the skeleton of the ship
and the bleaching bones Of the crew

great casks of untouched gold
One day at Salton Jimmie was lying
on the sand with rock for a pillow
soundly berating the station agent for
working for a corporation when he
should be on the desert picking up
gold and silver.

tcrted the agent, angered at being
dubbed slave"

sun beat with relentless force upon the

from his flask. He was warned against

The agony OF thirst had made the

out of his mouth and where the hot
wind had cut his face little streaks OF
blood showed His eyes protruded from
their sockets and he raved rather than

Suddenly he made a lunge at the
man who had the canteen and tried to
wrest it from him. There was a short
struggle and then one man arose from

This Is one view of the desert. Ia
the Colorado Desert there are oases
which. when water Is brought to the
land, become exceedingly fertile. At
Palm Springs water was taken to the
main bitches from the snowy ranges OF
the San Bernardino Mountains and un-
der irrigation early grapes. apricots
and melons were raised. Palm Springs
was the pioneer in desert cultivation
For a year its fruit brought high prices
in the Chicago markets. but a. combins'
of the buyers was formed and the
growers were brought into debt by
sending their products east =
Indio followed the lead OF Palm
Springs. but the growers did not at.
tempt cultivation on an extended scale
but rather with cheap crops, such as
melons and cantaloupes- and alfalfa
which made quick returns.
Imperial Valley is the last OF the
three It's principal wealth is In. cat
tie, hogs and grain.
Thus IN fifteen years the desert which
was once entirely given over to In
dians, rattlesnakes and horned toads
has been made profitable to man. There
has been no greater transformation in
the history of the world.

Does 1t Change a Man?

Does the desert change the nature of
MANI Does constant solitude alter his
temper? Are those who live alone
like their fellowmen who move and
have their being In crowded cities?
A man who has passed his days on
the desert is one apart from mankind.
1t brings into his face strange wrin-
kles-the aspect of one who is ever
straining his eyesight to new sights
and his ears to new sounds. He is
more on the alert than the man who
does not live in constant danger. He
watches the skies more closely than
the mariner, for the treacherous calm
may be the precursor of a sudden sand
storm, which will cloud the country
in a screen as impenetrable as fog.
He will be as one blindfolded. The
rushing sand with its cutting force
will split the cheeks till the blood runs.
and the eyes will have to be shut
through fear that sharp particles may
close their sight forever.
There is no protection against this
fury of the gods. The wind sobs and
screams as an angered woman, the
sand rises in great clouds or in whirl-
ing pyramids, which tear from out tho
scant soil bushes of sagebrush or the
thorny cactus. And then with sigh.
as II IL were weeping for the mischief
done, the wind dies away and peace
again comes over the face Of the
desert.
What manner of man Is he then who
will dare the dangers of the desert?
Never was there stronger proof that
the love of gold will make men face
any evil. Not even the march from
Skagway over the snow-covered noun
tsins OF Alaska will equal the intensity
OF sufferings that>have been borne by
unknown prospectors on that awful
road which winds its way along the

LAST HARD PRACTICE HARVARD SHOWssPF Covers Half Mile in Two Minutes Flat-Two Miles
 in Quick Time.
(By Associated Press.)

Red Top, June 24.-Harvard's eight
 went out for it's last hard work to- night and slgnallized 1t by passing over the two mile course with the freshmen beating them by three and a half lengths and making the fastest time for the two miles that has been made this year. The time for the distance was 10 minutes and p seconds.
 Just before making this the eight went a fast half-mile in two minutes flat. The freshmen did not race the varsity or night have been closer up but they were uncertain as to how far they were to go and the stroke was kept very low. After the two mile row the two eights practiced racing starts, using a pistol shot for the signal. Botht managed to win out once and then they took them alone.
 Earlier in the afternoon the varsity four went over the two mile course with fair conditions in eleven minutes and twenty-three seconds. For the first half-mile they raced the freshmen four but were beaten out by a quar- ter of length. On the row the four oar went better and they now show some chance of being in the finish.
 Early this afternoon Official Referee w. H. Meikleham of New York, ar- rived and went over the course with the captains and managers of the Har- ward and Yale crews, and Chairman Schweppe of the regatta committee. The two and a half mile flag was nov ed slightly west but the rest of the was left unchanged. It was de- cided at a conference later to row the freshman four oar race up stream at five o'clock on Wednesday, The grad uate eight race will be rowed im- mediatey after.
 D. F, Downes, 1903, has been named the Harvard judge at the finish on regatta day. Harvard's graduate eight is amost made up now and will be com posed of J. F. Perkins, '99, B. D. Me- Grew, '0S; A. Blake, 90; M. BrownelI. '02; J. Lawrence, 'OS; Guy Bancroft. 'O2; George Marvin, '99, ane one other yet to be selected
