IMPERIAL ROAD
MAKING BEGINS

BRAWLEY, Sept. 17.-County Road
Superintendent John Allen Of the No.
district this morning ordered out the
new big Best tractor and grader and
started down Western avenue on the
first road making trip of the equipment
that will make $40 miles of double
track road in the Brawley district. ID
When Supervisor Ralph Anderson
left for his vacation few weeks ago
he instructed Allen to overhaul and
rebuild the outfit so that it would stand
up under the heavy winter strain that
the supervisor knew would come to the
largest district in the county, and
the most populous as We. as wealthy,
since. it includes Brawley, Calipatria,
Westmorland and INLAND, all husky
valley towns with good country around
them.
The scraper cost 5000 handled by the
county itself, whereas the price would
have been $2500 on the open market.
The outfit makes three miles an hour,
and the grader, being absolutely with
iout vibration, will not leave wavy
stretches of road such as have been
seen where vibration making machines
have been in use in the past.
William Williford is the engineer
and Sam Sessler the grader man.

TWO YEAR

LONDON, Sept. 17.-The Quest, the
small ship on which Sir Ernest Shack
elton will explore the uncharted sec.
tions Of the South Atlantic, Pacific an
the Antartic left the Thames river to-
day for two year voyage.
The voyage has for it's object mol
only oceanographic research but the
exploration of a petrified forest and
the location of "lost" island-Tnan-
aki--the adjacent water Of which have
not been sailed for more than 30 years.
In addition, soundings will be taken of
the ocean plateau surrounding Cough
Island in an effort to determine the
truth regarding supposed underwater
continental connection between Africa
an America.
Nineteen persons, representing each
of the British self-governing omin-
ions, are expected to be aboard the
tiny but stanch croft. built for tight
corners, when she leaves Capetown,
South Africa, for two years of buffet
ing it's way through the Antarctic ice.
The Quest, which uses both sail and
steam, and which may cover more than
10000 miles before it's return home,
was constructed according to the per-
sonal ideas of Shackleton who, has
made several voyages to the Antarctic.
He commanded the British expedition
of 1907-09, which reached within 81
miles of the South Pole and, also the
expedition of 1914-15 to Weddell sea.
His present ship is Ill feet long, 25
foot beam and IL feet in depth. She
was built in Norway in 1917 Of oak,
pine an dspruce and has been tested in
heavy ice. Her sides are two feet
thick and her bows are of solid oak
sheathed with steel. Her steamiEg
radius is 5000 miles and, under sail, in
a stiff breeze The Quest can make 3
knots. She carries wireless equipment
and an airplane with 25 foot wing
spread. She has glass enclosed
bridge and lookout that resembles a
flour barrel. D
Major C. 4. Carr, an English soldier
of fortune, the aviator OF the eXpedl-
ton, plans to fly over the Antarctic
fogs to scout out passages between the
floes through which The Ques. "Ay

naturalist OF the expedition. TIE o.
plane he will use is one Of only three
that were ever built. The other two
were flown, respectively, by Col. Bor-
ten v. c., the pioneer flyer from Eng
land to Mesopotamia and by, Sir Ross
Smith, the first man to fly from Eng
land to Australia.
the petriiled forest that will be *
plored was found by ShacklCton OH the
island of Trinidad at certain point
where he landed from Capt. Robert
f. Scott's ship, the Discoverer, more
than IL years ago. Coughs Island is
eight miles long and 1000 feet high
and in 1904, when visited for The first
time on record by members of the
Bruce expedition, was found to have at
least four hitherto unclassified species
of birds. Tuanaki, the "lost" island
