VALLEY IS
A SECOND HADES

burros may stampede and the last
of your grub may be hoplessly scat
tered. Many have suffered horri-
BILE deaths in that far away and
lonely place; gone mad from thirst
and hunger, thrown away canteen,
grub and clothing, and wondered
only to lie down and die,
the prey of the coyotes and the
grief of loved ones to whom their
resting place is unknown. Some
day, perhaps more fortunate
pilgrim has found skeleton,
and dug a grave, with an occas-
iCnal find of jewelry or papers b y
which the remains could be identi-
fed, but in the years in which the
writer was familiar with the stories
of the lost in Death Valley but few
missing ones were located. The
valley had swallowed them up, AS
the sea.
And during the month o. July
1918, another victim has answered
the summons of the Death Valley
call; a pioneer of desert mining
camp who had braved the terrors
Of the valley many times with a
string of burros astride a mule or
on foot. This time he went into
the valley with an automobile, the
machine stuck in the deep sand and
with that the story is soon over.
Death Valley had not changed. The
noon day sun overlook the unfor-
unate automobilist as if mocking
him for his audacity in venturjng
yonder where the sure footed bur-
70 has hard work to travel.
The desire for gold is unabated; !;
it took men across Death Valley in
40; it has lured many a prospect
or there since that hlsoric day
when Funeral range was named !;
and today it is falling with sure
and certain toll of human life.

Tho Oath GAafurA.

The act Of uplifting the ha Nd during
the taking Of an oath is so ancient that
it would be futile to even attempt to
say when 1t started. Homer mentions
1t as common among the Greeks Of his
time, and it is also found in the earliest
Biblical time. For instance, Abraham,
the father Of the Jewish people, says
IL have lifted up my hand to Jehovah"
showing that even at that remote Pc
riod the practice was existent. It was
from the Jews, Of course, that the prac-
dce found its way into Christendom,
where 1t has ever since held it's place

the general passenger department

when a telegram received from

sawdust, burning at a mountain

which would burn until entirely
consumed, as there was not water
enough at hand to put out the
flames, which owing to their eleva-
tion, nould BE- seen for miles.

BIG SUR TO Be TRIED

Sometime ago James E Ballan-
tyne and M F Cowles brought
suit against Ira d Wines to force
the fulfillment of contract
made in December 1911.
Ballantyne and CoNles made
an agreement with Wines to buy
4400 acres of land near Halleck
at $4.75 an acre for cash payable
inside of forty days or S5 an acre
on a time basis. At the expiration
of the time option or thereabouts.
Ballantyne and Cowles claimed
they rendered the cash to Wines
for the property but the lat
er refused to live up to his contract
and deliver the land. Then suit
was begun to force Wines to deliv-
er over the 4400 acres contracted
for. Wines entered into q demur-
rer to have the full contract made
a part Of the complaint of the
plaintiffs and yesterday the demur-
rer was sustained. After the plain
tiffs have amended their complaint
it is expected the case will come
to trial.

Beyond the forests of Siberia lies the

savage splendor of limitless expanse.
Man cannot rest in such country nor
live a sedentary life. 1t has been the
birthplace Of the greatest migrations
the world has ever seen. Restless

Of Mongolia.
What history this land could tell If
only Its deserts could speak and its
mountains bear witness! Here rode
Genghis, the Mongol Alexander, the

4 The following ruling was made
by Secretary of the Interior last
nonth:
"In the matter of applications of
corporations for water rights on
reclamation projects, / am satisfied
that Congress did not intend these
reclaiming lands upon which the
government is expending the mon
ey of all the people, should be the
subject of corporate control. These
lands are to be the homes of famil.
les. This seems to me to be estab-
lished conclusively by the fact that
we are authorized TO fix the farm
uuit on the basis of the amount
OF land that will support a fam
lily.
Those corporations which are
in existence to which water rights
have been granted should be al
lowed to continue without interfer-
ence, and in view of past decisions
it may be the wise policy to grant
to corporations which have at this
date made application, such right.
No more such applications should
be allowed and this should he the
rule of the department"

Valley appears in the latest issue of
the Terra Bella News edited by
Earle R Clemens, formerly editor
of the paper at Ryholite- Glenn
ems is familiar with Death Valley
and was inspired to write this story
by the tragic death in the valley,
a short time ago, of Peter Busch
with whom the writer had long
been friendly The article follows: /:
Death Valley has lost none of its
terrors since 40, wh-n the gold
hunters perished in their attempt
to reach the boEanza finds in Cali
fornia. The relics of that expedi-
tion yet remain OH Salt Creek to
remind passers-by of heroic strug-
gle against great ODDS. Today
Death Valley is practically un-
changed. True, prospectors have
explored its remotest corners;
miners have dug for gold and sill
yer and copper in the hills on
every side; camps have been made
and aba doned here and there;
water holes and stations establis =
ed in times of cross-valley travel
between the Panamints and the
Funeral range; a ranch has been
developed on which figs and mel
ons and vegetables grow in great
ahunda ce-the mecca for humid
reds of desert pilgrims and sight
se&,ng parties; a stamp mill and
a Arial tramway have been built
an" operated. with a telephone
line reaching 70 civilization; twen-
tv mule teams have invaded the
depth and hauled out borax; yet
Death Valley, deep between the
towering gray hills, sunken treacb-
erous, desolate, isolated. is unalter-
ed by the coming of man. 1t is
still the valley Of death, claiming
at victims one and one, and harbor-
ing many an unmarked grave.
These lines are prompted by the
recent news of the death of an in
innate friend whose eight years of
desert experience were Of no avail
in an encounter with the terrors
Of Death Valley in July. If we
think that San Joaquin valley is
torrid IN summer as compared with
other climes a visit to Death Valley
will dissipate the idea. Death
Valleys the hottest spot on earth
in summer and its near approach
to that other warm region was
aptly told on a sign-board which
the writer once saw in the valley
reading something like this:
Four miles to Keane Wonder,
eight miles to Stovepipe, forty
feet to hell.
One has no idea of the oppression
Of the heat in Death Valley unless
he has q personal experience of it.
The sun rises hot and sets hot with
n night sky full of strange lights
like the flashing Of fire flies the,
phosphoric phenomena Of wierd
spooky waste. The night brings
some relief but when the day
dawns hotter, it seems, than the
day before. The water in your can
teen is nauseating at it almost siz-
zles5 under the glare Of the mer-
ciloss sun. The air pressure, hot
