Work Of Life Saving.

Los ANGELES, July i7.-The Unit
ed states has finally taken up the work
of life saving on the desert. Senator
Works has sent word to the chamber
Of commerce that his bill providing for
The placing Of sign posts pointing the
way to water holes on the desert AMI
for the protection of springs has been
passed by the senate. The same bill,
introduced by Congressman stephens. is
pending in the house. and Congressman
Stephens sends word that he expects
it to be adopted soon.
This humanitarian action by con
gress comes as reward of ten-year
fight started by George w. Parsons,
then chairman OF the mines and mining
committee OF the chamber OF com
merce, fathered by the chamber. in
dorsed by various large organizations
interested in desert work. aided by
volunteer workerS-but principally
carried on almost single handed by Mr..
Parsons who. an old mining man. knew
of the great toll of death annually col!
lccted by the vast sunbaked waste. and
the great saving of life that would re
suit from the wise expenditure Of a lit
lie money
The bills of Senator Works and Con
srasSman Stephens provide a fund of
$4,000 as starter for the erection Of
sign posts, directing travellers 10 water
and stating the distances to the near
cS springs. the protection Of water
sources against pollution and the mann
tenance Of springs.
"The intent Of the work" said Mr.
Parsons, sis to point the way to water
for travellers along the mfreQuentnd
waste and not to guide autos 70 settle

We have reached the point where the
issue is being forced on attention
whether we will provide a system Of
highways which will enable the farm

without overcoming the impediment Of
sandy roads.
Only on one ground can such roads
be advocated. and that is that the say
ing to the farmers will more than off
set the cost, a doctrine in which this
journal absolutely believes.
