UNIQUE AUTO ROAD.
Walking Sand Hills Near Yuma. Ark,
Shift With Winds.


Shift With Winds.
Many OF the auto tourists that vis-
tied the two expositions in California
this year had occasion to travel over
one OF the most peculiar auto roads
in the country. West of Yuma
Ariz, there Is chain OF sand dunea
extending cross-country for many
miles. In order to get thru from
Yuma to San Diego 1t is necessary to
cross these dunes, which are about six
miles in width at this point. They are
composed OF fine sand that is pracr
cally bottomless. These dunes arc
called walking sand hills. because
they shift with the action OF the wind.
1T being estimated that they have
walked" about 100 feet In the last
fifty years. In order 10 make 3 rass-
able road across the dunes the citi-
zens OF Imperial county decided oa q
plank road. P1anks zxSxl2 were laid
three for each runway, thus forming,
two strips OF planklng two feet wtre.,
with n space OF perhaps three feet
between them The planks were sc-s.
curely bolted together. This made ~
road for all practical purposes as good
as a concrete boulevard. The orie1-'
nal outlay was several thousand dol
lars and man has to be employed
constantly keeping the road In repair
and keeping the sand from drifting
over 1t.
In order that traffic going in oppo-
site directions might not be hindered
there are switches at intervals so
that one OF the autos may take tho
Siding" while another goes by. There
are several stage lines running over
this plank road. and in addition to
this there are from ten to twenty
autos travelling in each direction daily.
When an auto slips OFF the boards It
Is some trouble to get back on. but
the boards are so we'll bolted together
and the roadway so wide that there is
no excuse for slipping off. speed OF
thirty miles an hour being possible
with safety.
