Early in the present Red Cross
G~i,c word was brought to Vi. o..
J. ing that the construction camps
aiolg the line of the San Diego Ari-
,z3la rail road were anxious TO see
5 )meone who represented the great
i.yd Cross movement. This sounded
good to Mr.. King, and he communl-
caleo his find to Rev. Mr.. Reed. So
on Thursday morning Rev. Mr Dan
.cls of the Christion church, ana Ills
chauffeur, Rev. Thos. E. Stevenson,
SIT out on their journey, armed with
tundle of boarding house sand
w;ches, thermos bottle Of hot coffee
and a big bundle Of subs ;rption
books.
Leaving the highway just where the
railroad crosses overhead we headed
out into the wild and perilous CD
desert, feeling sure that the aforesaid
sandwiches would prove equal to any
emergency. At first the way was
fairly decent, but soon it was all loose
sand and the Dodge labored and grun-
ted as it plowed its way along the
trail, for in many places it is little
nore than a trail, as the road is used
almost exclusively as a way to the
amps and is not real road.
| After about ten miles of hard go
| ing a flag was sen on a nearby hill
! md Daniels dedicated his new white
shoes to the sand of the desert. When
| his shoes were full of sand he had
fine traction, and returned to tell his
driver that camp was about a mile
farther on.
J We reached the first camp about
ten-thirty, and We're met by Mr.. Ber
", one of the contractors at this
camp. They are putting in a foul
mile stretch. Mr.. Berry was decid
edly interested and son the game be

To see those boys coming across
with the money was joy. Over anc

that nobody was coming to give then

Then came dinner time and as the
Imperial Valley press., 1918-05-25

men came n and as they went out we
lined them up and with hardly an eN-
ception they put their names down
for anything from fifty cents to twen-
ey dollars. One German and MeXl-
can or two grunted out nothing do
ing" But we found some folks with
German names, like Pete Rohr, who
did not make any roar about helping
the Red Cross in its splendid work.
TO see Daniels eat after all that
work. Man, but it was heartening.
After dinner, in company with Mr..
Berry and a surveyor, b. Is. Boyd,
who gave his entire day to helping,
we started up trail to visit the var
ious camps and tunnel gangs. Ran
into one Italian gang of five men and
one mule and every fellow fairly
grabbed the pencils to put his name
down for five or ten, and when it
was all over one fellow remarked that
the only one not signed up was the
mule. Let the gang sign five for
the mule" he said. The crowd laugh
ed at the joke and the mule-well,
that s another story.
We went into tunnel almost suf-
locating with dynamite fumes. We
wrote receipts, using dynamite boxes
as writing tables. We wedged in
past stone cars and rocks and got the
men in the lower heading and then
the fellows in the upper heading. All
came across.
Say! Some of you folks who think
the Mountain Springs grade is mar
row and steep, just try driving that
little dinge in the mountain side with

of hundreds of feet straight down.
just temporary road to help in the
construction Of the railway.
But they gave, Austrians, Swedes,
Italians, Germans, Americans, every
body. They We're delighted to give.
Return was made to the original
camp, and supper--what supper
after such a day of climbing and
wedging about, and looking doyn into
another world and writing on dyna
mite boxes. Supper. What big
hearted lot those contractors and the
fellows, too. are. When we headed
the prov of the Dodge sand cate,
homeward about seven o'clock it wa

Cross. 1t was a hard day, but neithe
