GUIDE POSTS ON
DESERT WANTED
ONLY HALF THE MONEY IS SO
FAR EXPENDED
COUNTIES NEGLECT THEIR PART
IN MATTER
State Engineer EIIeIsy Urges That
Counties Take Advantage of
the Law and Erect Posts
at Once

Aecordfug to the statement of N.
Elerv State engineer, regarding the
desert guide post problem, only about
one-half of the $4,000 appropriated has
been used. He urges that the counties
in need of the posts make requests to
him with guarantees for their erection
and he will gladly comply with the
requirements. He has sent a COM
munication to George w. Parsons of
Los Angeles, who lis one of the prime
movers in the guide post movement. in
which he says:
After considerable effort the old de-
partment of highways office got four
counties interested in the guide post
matter during 1905. There were fur
nished to Inyo county 100 posts and
signs to- be located. Riverside county
requested thirty-six posts and signs,
Kern county twenty-eight posts and
signs and San Bernardino county about
100 posts and signs. In addition to
this there were about one dozen posts
sent to Los Angeles county.
After these posts were delivered to
the counties I took up by letter with
the several county officials the matter
of their erection. lnyo county wrote
me that they had erected all the posts
they had received, as did Riverside
county, but Kern and San Bernardino
counties never did give me a full list
of the erection of their guide posts. I
shall enter into communication with
the boards Of supervisors Of the vari-
Gus counties and ascertain, If possible,
whether or not all the posts have been
erected.
"The appropriation of $4,000 for the
purpose of furnishing the various
counties of the southern part of the
state with guide posts is but haif/spent,
and il 1 could get these counties to
make a, request and give me some sort
of a guarantee for the erection of the
posts after they had received them
would be glad to fill the requirements.
1 shall very shortly communicate with
the counties enumerated in the stat
utes and ascertain If possible their
needs along this line"
Mr. Ellery gives the following list
of desert sign posts already erected.

CALLAwAY FLA, Aug. IS, 1908.

GALLOWAY FLA, Aug. IS, 1908.
Editor PILOT:
NY previous communication having
been honored by the PILOT with such
prominence, | will venture to add a
little more information regarding the
subject by presenting some of the
many advantages, already possessed
by st Andrews Bay harbOr, and some
that probabilities in the near future.
st Andrews Bay, with its two large
arms, known as East and North Bays,
contains something like ten square
miles of thirty-six feet and upwards
water, five square miles of twenty
feet and over, and many square miles
of less than twenty feet, with broken
shell and sand bottom making good
anchorage in time of storm.
This spacious harbor would accom-
modate the entire Navy of the United
States and a shipping equal to that
coming into the largest city of the
world, with perfect safety, because
it is thoroughly land-locked, that is,
the Bay is so situated that the Gulf
storms have only a nile through
which to send their raging waters,
and this mile has many points and
reefs that these waves have to battle
with before they can gain our shores
at all. Then these arms reaching
Eastwardly and Northerly makes it
impossible for the waves from the
Gulf to toss or injure d ship anchored
! in them, for the waves are broken to
pieces by the barriers just mentioned.
Therefore these distractions, erected
by nature are our harbOrs protectors
in time of storms. Tidal waves that
are so destructive to other sea port
towns along the Gulf coast cannot
damage this harbor to any extent.
| am told by a reliable sea captain
that river boat could anchor along
side of big sea going vessel, drawing
thirty-six feet or more, and exchange
cargos, even when the Gulf was at
its very worst. Especially is this
true of East Bay. This can not be
said of any other harborin the United
/ States.
/ Our narrow entrance, easily pro-
tected by torpedoes and forts would
withstand the assaults of any navy.
1t is therefore readily seen that a
Navy Yard within East Bay could be
successfully depended against the
combined attacts of the navies of the
entire world, and of necessity the

canal and through the Yucatan cham
mel, as it will be compelled to do,
will save at least one hundred miles,
by coming here over any other port
on the Gulf coast.
We can further see that all South
America with its great future is also
at our door; with Central America,
our tropical fruit garden within easy
reach.
Would that time and space allowed
me to indulge further in setting forth
our probabilities, but one can see for
themselves what the future of our
port and harbor will assuredly be,
and all of this would be shared by
the territory that would be reached
by opening the short proposed East
Bay Canal. Truly a most wonderful
proposition and one that should re-
ceive the attention of everyone in
terested in the welfare of the country
tributary to the Apalachicola, Chipola,
Flint and ChattahoOchee rivers.
So let me appeal to our wide awake
ladies, and men too, to be up and
d Ding while we may. Such an OPP
portunity to do so great work with
so small a sum, does not come our
way every day.
