 A NEGLECTED SPOT It will not be such an easy matter as was first supposed to decorate the graves of the potters field. There are more Of them than had been estimated
 many more. It was thought that there were about 150 but it is stated that the unsightly tract into which the unfortunates have drifted at the end of the journey has become the
 haven of not fewer than 800 But the greatest difficulty in the way ol those who had undertaken the deco
 ration of the graves is the growtf
 of the mesquite. ats claw, grease
 wood and other desert plants which
 has sprung up. There are abou'
 five acres in the tract and three oi
 them are fin a desert state. IL is now
 proposed to have them cleared be-
 fore Decoration day or as much O.
 the area as possible. Miss Eliza
 beth Berger, who has charge of tho
 matter, has been unable to secure
 aid from either the county or city
 She will therefore try to secure
 enough money by subscription to pa,
 for clearing the northern part of th'
 tract.
