WILL CHART DESERT IN
GREAT LIFE SAVING WORK

To lessen the dangers of the
Great American Desert and its
annual toll of human life is the
mission on which a Flanders 20
motor car will soon begin an all
summer trip from Pasadena. At
its wheel will be Lou Weston
Beck, former prospector, but now
philanthropist, who has dedicated
his life to the chIrting and post
ing of the indefinite trails which
traverse the great inter-mountain
region. and the indication TO
travellers, by plain and effective
means. of the potts where water
may be obtained.
Mr.. Beck S mission has been made
possible by wealthy and generous
citizens OF Pasadena, acquainted
with his work, who have subscri-
bed the necessary funds To pur-
chase the car. Mr.. Beck has
christened it the "ChuckwalIa
Flanders 30" in honor of the
famous bloated lizard which is the
only creature able to live in many
parts of the terrible waste.
An annual tribute of Is vic
Tins is, it is estimated, exacted
each year by TIE grim region which
lies between the Rockies and the
Coast Range. Practically all of
these are prospectors who,
ignorant Of the nature of the
country, leave civilization with a
scant supply Of water and fail 10
find more. Months, perhaps years
after. their bones are found,
plucked clean by the vutures,
under the struggling shade of some
mesquite bush, where their mis-
cradle fate had finally overtRkcn
them. Desert Rats" they are
dubbed by those in the towns
bordering the vast expanso.
To penetrate the desert in u
motor car has been tried several
times, but with uniform failure.
Two years ago a party of seven
in n high powered car attempted
the trip. Two weeks later n
searching party came to the car
apparently abandoned. Closer APP
proach, however, showed n black
huddlo beneath he car. To the
horror of the seaching party this
was found to be a pile of corpses.
Near by was II poisoned spring
from which all had apparently
drank.
Mr.. Beck knows the desert
better, in all probability, than any
living man, not even excepting
"Scotty" of transcontinental fame.
He expects TO post his signs in n
way that all will not only direct
the Rats to good water, but
will ais, warn them away from
that viii CHI is bad. His signs are
already painted and represent his
labors of the wintec.

DOG SUICIDES WHEN
BODY IS TAKEN AWAY

The case of a dog committing
suicide is reported from Bridge
port, California. caused by grief.
One OF the pioneer residents of
that county, Nose Iuntoon, died a
short time ago and when his body
vas removed from the home ranch.
six miles from town, to the under
takers establishment in Bridge
port. the old hound started to fol-
low the body of his master but not
being able TO keep up with the
auto, returned to the ranch. The
dog howled around for a couple of
days and then turned up missing.
4 few days ago one Of the family
visited the spot In the creek where
the deceased had been wont to
spend the greater part of the time
of his declining days fishing, and
there found the body VI the dog
lying in the pool. 1t is believed
that the dog went to the SCOT
where he had been in the habit OF
spendi ng the DAYS with his master
and in his sorrow had jumped into
the water and drowned himself.
The body of the dog was taken
from the stream and buried near
the house, by the sorrowing mem
bers Of the family Carson News.

The "Chuckwalla F flanders 90"
will penetrate this summer as far
as the notorious Death Valley"
and will be the first motor car to
essay this arid region. Its itinerary
is arranged to cover about 600
miles. touching the railroad once
to take on second supply of gaso-
line and oil. Mr.. Beck hopes to
continue his work until the entire
desert is as we'll charted as ~
main travelled highway. In the
completion of his task he is try
ing to enlist the services of the
United States government, which,
by installing large signs on buttes
and mountain tops could fulfil a
purpose very similar to that per-
formed by the Lighthouse and life
saving departments on the coasts
and great lakes.
In his work Mr.. Beck will be
greatly helped by Rufus" a big
red dog of mixed breeding, in
which St. Bernard blood is ap.
parently dominant. Rufus goes
into the desert with II canteen
strapped to each side, and shod
with buckskin neatly to the knees
as a protection against the hot
sand, thurns and deadly side
winders.
Rufus has a record of saving
a round dozen lives. He kas an
uncanny ability to find men lost on
the desret. and has ,on three &C.
casioTs located a Inst trail which
enabled his master to return
safely, after hope had been aban-
doned.
at is hard for the average man
to understand the fascination the
desert has for one who has once
hraved ii, and come back" says
Mr.. Beck. He may hold out
against its call, as long as the
kardships and suffering he endured
are fresh in his mind, hut, sooner
or later, he finds himself signing
for the heat the sands, the mount
aims, the solitudes and the wind
that sweeps along at the rate of a
700 or more miles az hour, scorch-
ing his face as it passes. Then,
with pick on his back and can
teen at mis- side, he leads his faith
full mule, laden with a months
provisions out on The trail.
Sometimes he comes out hag-
gered and bronzed from thirst and
privatiCn, but with his animal
loaded down with precious metal
which will, when turned into coin,
rake him and his family rich
beyond their widest dreams. Far
more often, though, his CHASTITY
remains are found beside some dry
spring or where crazcd by thirst,
he had drank from a pool poisoned
with alkali or borax."-Los
