Baumgartner Tells of Road Program Highway Commissioner Writes On Contemplated Improvements Ever since his appointment on the Highway Commission, the writer has been profoundly impressed with the importance, not only to Southern California, but to the entire state, of having good roads leading into California from Arizona and Nevada; and, fortunately, the other members of the Highway Commission and Director of Public Works have been likewise impressed. Not only do these roads carry most of the transcontinental traffic, both ways, but the demands upon them of comparatively local traffic incident to the industrial and recreational development of the desert country are very large and ever increasing. It will therefore, be interesting and instructive to outline the largest desert highway program ever undertaken by the California Highway Commission—a program that is now well under way and the extent of which is fully realized by very few people. A review of recent activities on desert interstate highways of Southern California reveals that the peril of the desert road has already become a thing of the past. The waste of dreary sands that menaced the lives of the fathers and mothers of the present generation are now fast becoming transformed into playgrounds for their children. Desert trails have either now become or will be within a few years, veritable boulevards. Today instead of repelling travel, the deserts of Southern California, with their strange formations, their beautiful coloring, their fantastic flowers, their spectacular history recorded in rock and sand, are attracting visitors the world over. Once classed as places to be shunned, they are listed now among the attractions de luxe of the wonderful Southland. The story of the manner in which highways have conquered the desert is one of the great epics, now in the making. Improvement was with oil surfacing. The importance of this road, as an interstate connection, is one of the factors that has influenced the California Highway Commission and B. B. Meek, director of the Department of Public Works, to make the large allotments and to undertake the ambitious program for its improvement now under way. San Bernardino to El Centro Route 26 of the state highway system extends from San Bernardino to El Centro and most of its 151 miles crosses the desert. On this road also the sands of the desert are yielding to the magic of the engineer. Allotments to this highway from the 1927-1929 budget, which have either been expended or are now in process of expenditure total $1,117,000. For the 1929-1931 biennium the allotment totals $1,326,600. On June 30th, 1929, when the present biennium closes, 140 miles of this road will be paved and 11 miles will have an oil mix surface. Improvements programmed for the 1929-1931 biennium include 10.5 miles of pavement, 31.9 miles of widening and thickening of existing pavement, culverts and grading of adequate shoulders to the extent of 7.2 miles, and protection of approximately 20 miles of this highway from the effects of cloud-bursts. Travel statistic again demonstrate how completely this road has robbed the desert of its terror. Traffic count on January 13th, 1929, reveals the following travel: South of San Bernardino 4,864; west of Redlands, 5,571; Beaumont, junction with Jack Rabbit Trail, 3,657; south of Coachella, 1,449; Westmoreland, 2,520; Brawley Junction, 3,240; El Centro, 5,034. Mecca to Blythe Mecca to Blythe, state highway route 64, is another road that has entirely changed the travel aspect of the country it traverses. This road was made a part of the highway system in 1919, but like other desert roads the first substantial improvements to be made on it were those authorized in the current budget. At the present time the state is spending approximately $325,000 on this highway. This work is now under contract and includes grading and about 25 miles of improvement was with oil surfacing.

Today instead of repelling travel, the deserts of Southern California, with their strange formations, their beautiful coloring, their fantastic flowers, their spectacular history recorded in rock and sand, are attracting visitors the world over. Once classed as places to be shunned, they are lated now among the attractions de luxe of the wonderful Southland. The story of the manner in which highways have conquered the desert is one of the great eplcs, now in the making, in the colorful history of Southern California. Imperial-Yuma Highway Notable in this story is the tale of the Imperial Valley-Yuma state highway. Sand storms and shifting dunes had made this road a terrifying area to travel forced to attempt it. Tragedy stalked on its every mile. Then there came, in 1916, during the earliest days of state highway construction, the "old plank road." These tracks of plank were often buried by shifting dunes, or covered by sand blown across them in storms. There was always the fear of meeting someone on a section of the road where there was no "turn-out." After each storm the planks had to be dug out and raised or lowered to fit conditions imposed by new sand dunes, either created or shifted by the storm. Despite the plank road the desert still wigned supreme. Difficult Problem Solved An intensive engineering study was undertaken by the California Highway Commission to see if some method might not be found whereby a more satisfactory highway could be built across these shifting sand dunes. Many plans were considered, and it was finally decided that by building a road on sand fills, higher than the fast moving sand dunes, the problem could be solved. A record of sand movements was kept over many months. It was found that only the small sand dunes moved fast. Those over 30 feet high were found to move very slowly. The movement of dunes from 200 to 300 feet in height was scarcely perceptible. Accordingly, the new road was built on sand fills made level with the top of the 30-foot dunes. In order to keep the high sand fills of the new road from blowing away these fills were oiled. The road was also located to avoid the high, slow moving dunes. The smaller sand dunes now march up to the highway and blow over the pavement in great sand streamers. The sand is swept away without damage or disturbance to travel. There has not been a moment of interruption to travel for the past two years. New Work Authorized Great as is this improvement, other buttermets are planned for the next two years that will complete this work of civilizing the desert. Thus $234,000 is to be spent from the state line at Yuma westerly in grading and paying five miles to the Indian reservation. This is now the worst portion of the Nine miles from El Centro. Mecca to Blythe Mecca to Blythe, state highway route 64, is another road that has entirely changed the travel aspect of the country it traverses. This road was made a part of the highway system in 1919, but like other desert roads the first substantial improvements to be made on it were those authorized in the current budget. At the present time the state is spending approximately $225,000 on this highway. This work is now under contract and includes grading, surfacing and oiling about 25 miles of the highway. In the budget for the 1929-1931 biennium, there is allotted $300,000 for the improvement of an additional 20 miles or more of the road. By the end of the next biennium (June 30th, 1931) there will have been completed to state standards of grading and oil-rock surfacing 68 miles of this highway. The total distance of the road is 91 miles. The failure to make any substantial improvement on this road until the present highway administration came into power is reflected in its low travel count. Thus the summer count in 1928 at Desert Center shows only 80 vehicles a day, and at Blythe but 150. The winter count of January 13th, 1929, showed 88 vehicles at Desert Center and 255 at Blythe. Undoubtedly the major improvements now underway and authorized will be reflected upon their completion, in the same percentage of travel increase that has been shown by other desert roads upon their improvements. of the highway. It also provides for major alignment improvement on 2.5 miles and for rebuilding two bridges. Type of Improvement The type of permanent improvement adopted for surfacing the road is that of oil treated crushed gravel or stone, now becoming known as "California type pavement." The work now under way and that authorized for the next two years constitute the first real improvements of major character undertaken by the state on this highway since it was included in the state system. The completion of this program will leave 60 of the 188 miles of this road unimproved. The state, however, plans that the unimproved sections of the road shall be put in a condition to satisfactorily serve travel pending its more permanent improvement. For the unimproved sections natural surface will be oiled to lay the dust. Certain sections where the surface is rough because of rocks will be treated with selected gravel. Dragging will enable a smoother surface to be obtained over all of the unimproved mileage. This work will be carried on under the general allotment for maintenance made to this highway. As construction on the road requires new alignment, the oiling operations will have a further value insinuuch as the old road will serve as a detour when permanent improvements are under way. The decision of congress to undertake construction of the Boulder dam is already reflected in a tremendous drainage heart of the Alaska range east of Rainy Pass. The camp hands in addition to rapher and geologist, with horses and two tons of equipment, was divided in The pack train, with four carried by launch and scorchage, on the Alaska rail west shore of Cook Inlet, to a trailless country to the south of the Skwentna River. Men, with most of them survived with a shallow-draw outboard motor, proceeded sitna, Yentna, and Skwentna travelling by the use of where that was possible, and dragging the boat by its miles of rapids. At where even this kind of no longer possible she joined and traveled south Skwentna River into this of great mountain rain man being seen due over two months, and signs of native camps in they were 20 or 30 years later.

The sand is swept away without damage or disturbance to travel. There has not been a moment of interruption to travel for the past two years. New Work Authorized Great as is this improvement, other betterments are planned for the next two years that will complete this work of civilizing the desert. Thus $234,000 is to be spent from the state line at Yuma westerly in grading and paying five miles to the Indian reservation. This is now the worst portion of the highway. Nine miles from El Centro to Holville also are to be paved during this same period, the allotment for this work in the budget being $482,000. During the present biennium an under pass is being constructed at Araz on this highway, to which the state contributed $25,000. Travel Figures Illuminative A few years ago only "desert rats" and forced travelers used this road. The traffic count of January 15th, last showed a daily traffic of 2,940 vehicles at El Centro, 1,728 at Holville, and 2,853 at the state line at Yuma. Apparently this desert no longer holds terror for travel. Mojave to Topoc The road from Mojave to Topoc via Barstow and Needles marks another desert stretch that is fast being conquered by state highway improvement. This is known as Route 58 in the state highway system. It is generally called the National Old Trails. A program of major importance for this highway is now under way. During the 1929-1931 biennium $725,000 has been allotted for grading and surfacing 41 miles of this road from Argos easterly. Grading and surfacing of 14 miles of this road is now underway from allotments made in the budget of the present biennium. This is the first time that major improvements have been undertaken on this road. Traffic count of January 13th, 1929, shows the following figures from this road: North of Barstow, 259 vehicles; Daggett at junction with Arrowhead Trail, 435; Amboy, 141; Needles, 681. This road is 249 miles in length. Up to the time of the major improvements listed above were started, only 29 miles of the road had been improved. That surface is rough because of rocks will be treated with selected gravel. Dragging will enable a smoother surface to be obtained over all of the unimproved mileage. This work will be carried on under the general allotment for maintenance made to this highway. As construction on the road requires new alignment, the oiling operations will have a further value inasmuch as the old road will serve as a detour when permanent improvements are under way. The decision of congress to undertake construction of the Boulder dam is already reflected in a tremendous increase of traffic on this highway. The traffic census of January, 1927, showed the following count: North of San Bernardino, 2,713 vehicles a day; Victorville, 1,065; Barstow, 311; Nevada state line, 60. The traffic count conducted on January 13th, 1929, showed the following travel: North of San Bernardino, 3,680 vehicles; Victorville, 1,472; Barstow, 704; Nevada state line, 200. Undoubtedly, as Boulder dam construction swings into full activity, this traffic will increase to many times its present volume. J. P. BAUMGARTNER, Member California Highway Com'n. Alfalfa Problems To Be Discussed Alfalfa growers of the county will be interested in the announcement made by W. M. Cory, assistant farm manager, that an educational meeting is called for 10 a.m., Friday, April 19th, at the Segerstrom Bros. ranch, one mile south of the Greenville Bean Growers' house. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the various factors affecting returns from alfalfa culture, with the idea of establishing the present best known practices. These would pertain more particularly to land preparation, seeding, irrigation, disease control and harvesting. Outside speakers on the program include J. P. Fairbank, extension specialist in agricultural engineering, and J. L. Welmer, plant pathologist U.S. Department of Agriculture.

However, it is to be remembered that Alaska contains 586,400 square miles—nearly one-fifth the area covered by the United States itself. The task of mapping this great wilderness has been in progress since 1859 by the Geological Survey, and although it is still far from completed, each year shows progress in the inventory that Uncle Sam is making of his northern possessions. In a new, unexplored country, where streams are too swift for boating and the only trails are those of the wild animals, the surveyor must still use the primitive methods of transport—the slow but sure pack horse and the boat dragged by hand through water too swift for even a modern power boat. Both of these methods were used by the Geological Survey expedition that in 1926 undertook to extend topographic and geologic surveys into the upper portion of the basin of Skwentna River. The Skwentna is a large western tributary of the Susitna River and drains alhitherto unexplored area in the heart of the Alaska range south and east of Rainy Pass. The party of four camp hands in addition to the topographer and geologist, with sixteen pack horses and two tons of supplies and equipment, was divided into two parts. The pack train, with four men, was carried by launch and scow from Anchorage, on the Alaska railroad, to the west shore of Cook Inlet, to travel over a trailless country to the upper basin of the Skwentna River. The other men, with most of the supplies, provided with a shallow-draft boat and outboard motor, proceeded up the Suwetna River. John F. Galvin, Richmond Independent; M. R.

Recent group meetings held through out the northern counties of the state have resulted in more than 70 additional member newspapers. With three more meetings scheduled at Eureka, Dunsmuir and San Jose, this is expected to be more than 100 new member newspapers at the close of the campaign. To make the California Newspaper Publishers Association the greatest service organization in the state of California, is the announced platform of President Justus F. Craamer, with nearly 300 of the leading weekly and daily newspapers of the state working together harmoniously not only for their own trade and business welfare, but for the general progress of California. If Uncle Sam ever gets into the European concert of nations he is very apt to find that the cover charge is pretty high. If the present matrimonial tendency keeps up it won't be long until each marriage license issued will contain a blank divorce application attached. Just like one of those reply post cards.
