MARKING ROADS OF
DESERT WITH SIGNS
Southern California Club Begins
Task Of Stalking Route From
Los Angeles to Tonopah

Auto owners and drivers and. in
fact. enthusiasts of the game. in gen..
eral, in Nevada will be interested to
know that the Automobile club Of
Southern California, which is affiliated
with the American Automobile Associa-
ton. has begun the task of charting
and marking with club signs the most
desolate and isolated as we'll as the
main travelled routes of the desert
country of southern California and Me-
vada. TIE work was only recently
started and it is expected that the or
g~anization will within the next few
months have the desert wastes so
clearly marked that 1t will be prac-
tically an impossibility for motor tour
lists to lose their way or want for water.
as it is the further plan of the club to
have its corps of engineers now en-
gagged in the oharting and marking
work make careful note of water holes,
springs. etc.
Speaking of the present work Of the
club recently, Miss S. o. Geary, its
secretary, says:
"The desert conditions must neces-
sarily exist, but it is the part of the
Automobile club to so adapt modern
methods to those conditions that motor
travel may be accomplished if not with
ease at least with perfect safety through
the wilderness of sand"
Starting from Los Angeles, the desert
route to be marked by the club signs
will extend as far as T~onopah. The
initial point will be Barstow. from
which the route will III north to
Ballarat, thence through Death Valley
to Rhyolite. Goldfeld and Tonopah. Be-
tween Daggett and I%vanpah. the most
dangerous portion of the route by rea-
son of the shifting sands, the club signs
will be placed so close together that one
will be visible from the other.

Injustice is done the people of the
country as we'll as the railroads when
irresponsible rumors regarding pur.
ported plans for extension are given
broadcast as facts. Railroads, like other
businesses, have a certain amount Of
routine work to accomplish in the Inns
of experiments in order to have fore
handed information regarding possible
improvements, should the time ever
come when such improvements are
necessary.
The above is the way E. E. Calvin,
vice president Of the Southern Pacific
Railway, with headquarters in San
Francisco. sums up the situation in Ne.
vada at the present time. His remarks
were occasioned by the recent reports
in a number of the papers of the State,
as we'll as some in California, that the
Southern Pacific was preparing to build
a new line running north of Austin and
Eureka to connect with the main line
at Palisade. thus giving another through
line into Los Angeles.
1t is stated on his authority that no
plans or arrangements at this time have
been made for the construction of such
a line.
Mr.. Calvin admitted there had been
surveying parties in the field. These
men. however. were not working with
the idea of locating a right of way for
a line to be constructed at once. The
company, he said. proceeds on the the
DRY that some day. some place. it
might want to construct a line. If it
has preliminary information it is in a
better position to proceed than if it
must have all the work done at a later
date. But it does not intend to build
any line until such time as business
conditions in the sections affected war.
rant the necessarily large expenditures
entailed.
From the standpoint of the company.
false rumor Of such purported plans
work a hardship on the people of the
section affected In some cases it may
mean an inrush of persons anxious to
hold land for which they. could have
obtained a fair price by selling earlier.
1t is for these reasons the company is
trying to offset the harmful rumors.
