Heroes That Save Lives
Shall Those Wh0 Risk Death TO Rescue Others BE Let
TO Bear Poverty In Tber old dyer

The object OF the association, whica
Is formed or disabled men formerly IN
the service, Is stated In the subscrip-
ton paper as follows:
ITO obtain the means OF a modest
living for ourselves and the depend
ents OF our members. TO save them
from the poorhouse and thereby main
tain our honorable standing among
our friends and In our community.
I'VE think we ought TO be entitled
TO that much consideration after faith
fully honorably serving the nation
through long series OF years and we
hope TO have the assistance or every
true American TO accomplish II.
I'VE hope 20 raise pension fund
7 through public donations and contrf-
buttons. The flremen's pension fund
OF this and other great cities was
raised In this way. We also want tn
put up contribution boxes In every
great city in the Union in such places
as hotels, railroad stations, stores.
tetc.
THE lifesaving service on tho
coast OF the German empire Is main
tanned in this way. and we should be
able through this contribution box
system to raise enough money TO take
care of the coo crippled members of
our association and the 800 widows
and orphans OF our dead comrades.
Chance for the Grateful to Help.
Sumner r. Kimball. general super
intendent of lifesaving service at
Washington, d. c.. has been asked ~
aid In the just distribution OF the fund.
Our association has been organic
ed without any capital. and In order
TO produce about 1000 contribution
boxes we need about $1,000. After
We get started with the t,eee cohtri--
button boxes we hope 10 be able TO
take care of ourselves"
These men receive no pension from
the government. save that provision
Is made that II disabled they receive
their pay for two years thereafter.
and that In case OF death the pay
ment OF the salary is continued TO a
| dependent mother.
/ Efforts have been made for years
10 secure pension legislation for the
| lifesavers. but IL has been defeated.
| the opponents OF the movement con-
tending that to take this action
would be the first step toward es-
tablishing a civil pension list.
! Let every man or woman with a
penny TO spare take pride and pleas
ure in helping 10 fill these contribu-
ton boxes. Every nickel or dime or
quarter given TO such purpose Will
return In dollars TO the giver In time.

child upon her back and kept in

went insane upon the trail.
All of the story will be told for
the first time, the humorous as
well as the pathetic. Publishers
have sought it for SO years, but the
survivors have now deemed it fit
and proper to give it to the Death
Valley magazine.
No pioneer or lover of American
history can afford to miss it.
The subscription price of the
magazine is 81 year. Every
issue contains stories and pictures

been received will be sent to Dag
get, on the Santa Fe railway, in
the heart of the desert. There it
will be planted ard watched care
fully on the ranch of T S. Van
Dyke, a pioneer desert ranch er,
who has attained considerable sue
cess in the propagation of various
growths in the arid districts.
A second allotment will be cxper l.
mented with at Mecca, by Frank
z. Strong and third portion will
be tried by MIR. Conrad at Thermal,
in the Coachella valley, near the
desert of the Salton sea. He
thinks the conditions prevailing on
the higher levels there are quite
like those of the native cline of the
alta grass.
Should these experiments, and
others to be made on the MOJaVc
desert and in the Imperial valley,
prove successful it is believe that
the establishment of paper mills
will follow the commercial produce
tion of this grass. The desert grass
is said to make paper of a SUI
perior grade, being especially de-
sirable in the manufacture of fine
book papers. The leaves of the
grass are from 10 inches to two
feet in length and have the peculi-
arity of breaking off the base. 1t
is estimated that not less than a
million dollars worth of this grass
Is exported annually from Algeria
alone, and tae constantly increas-
ing value of raw material for the
manufacture of paper makes the
demand for the material a perman-
ent one.
Frank G. Carpenter. in his trav-
els in Africa, observed this grass,
and writing from Sahara desert,
at point about 400 miles south Of
Port of Oran, said of it:
1.-The alta was growing right in
the sands. 1t is a long, wir,
grass, of which is gathered by tn,

Jdyhawkers of '49

The Death Valley magazine,
which is publishing the life of
Death Valley Scotty, will begin the
story of the '.Jayhawkers of '4o"
in its May number. The Clay

Death Valley its name. The story
will be written by John B. Col
ton, one of the survivors, who is
now rs years of age. He was the
youngest of the party, being 16
years old at the time.

The Hope Of The Desert

From the great Sahara desert to
Los Angeles have come two email
sacks of seed of grass peculiar to
the desert and upon this seed are
based the hopes OF great thugs Tor
the arid portions of California as
we'll as parts OF Arizona, Nevada
and New Mexico, says Orchard and
Farm of Los Angeles. The seed is
that of alta grass, and its intro
duction into this state, it is
thought, may be the for erunner of
an important papermaking indus
try.
The shipment came from the
United States Bureau of plant in
Industry in response to interest
shown by j. Z. Conrad of Los
Angeles, in the init reduction into
the southwest of this grass.
He thought he saw the possible
ties of great things for this grass
here, and it was upon his init
iativc that the government sent &c
Africa for the shipment, which is
to tie carefully handled in expert
mrnta1 tests.
