California Wants
Red Rock Canyon
Under u. S. Control
President Asked to Proclaim
Noted Wonderland as a
National Monument to
Show Crandeurs of West

! LOS ANGELES, Dec. GA petition
having been forwarded to the Presi-
dent of the United States to proclaim
Red Rock canyon, in Southern Califor-
MIA, q national monument, the Cham
Der Of Commerce, of Bishop, Cal, has
asked support in the movement from
every important civic, art, automobile,
highway and commercial organization
in this part of the state.
The canyon, which is described by
enthusiasts as n archaeological treas
ure box, lies 1926 miles north of Los
Angeles cash in the lower end of
the Sierra Nevada mountains, its
mouth opens from the Ell Paso range
upon the northwestern edge of the
Mohave desert, twenty-four miles be-
Bishop. Through it's fifteen miles of
length extends the southern branch of
the Roosevelt national highway (for-
merly the Midland traiD, transcon-
tinental automobile route from Mon
tauk Point, Long Island, through Wash
ington to Los Angeles, entering the
state centrally by way Of Westward
pass and turning north and south at
Big Pine.
To Extend Highway
Announcement has been made that
the Lincoln Highway will be extended
from Ely, New, to Southern California,
the same way, making direct connec-
ton between Los Angeles and Salt
Lake City.
California has declared the north
and-south highway, known as Ell Ca
mino Sierra, trunk line of the good
roads system, and, under the recent
$40,000,000 bond issue, will pave it as
far as Bishop, undoubtedly, Red Rock
Canyon enthusiasts assert, through the
proposed national monument
1t is evident that, once the wonders
of Red Rock Canyon become generally
known, there will be no difficulty in
reaching them. John L. Won Blon, a
newspaper man, who in recent article
in "The Los Angeles Times" declared
it "was my recent happy lot to dis
cover this place" wrote as follows:
Attempts at description of the can
yon are wellnigh futile; words cannot
encompass its spectral splendors. Those
prodigies in plain view from the high
way are contained in a section Of less
than four square miles, at about 5000
feet altitude and several times removed
from the desert proper. On approach
ing from either direction sharp turn
of the trail brings the walled-in mira
cles in sight-an enhancing picture
that halts the breath"
