Shifting Sands Are Tied Down By New Desert Highways In California Tho pronuncint ion nf "mnr cranne' with n snff '" is ntlvid by (he R. It. C. Why not soft in summer nnd har-l In winter? Glasgow Knstern Standiird. i A I Feature Service Writer! SACK AM KXTO. Cal.. fAF'i The shifting srtn.ls of the desert, which battled the motorist' transconti-; nental Invasion of California, have .W-en conquered. flr-.ad highways, free of the Kit ud y clouds hie honce swirled and drifted over th'- roads or whipptt1 l.eb-w to untiermine them, now i nter the state through desert regions over four routes. Knirineer have olveti the prob lem of "tinir down the desert." Study rev ea 1 e d t h at o nj y dimes below 3 feet in height moved with rapidity, and new rads have been built up to the level of the 30-foot moving drifts. ' To keep the sjinl fills from whij- ; pin out from under the new roads, slopes are well oiled. To prevent ' washing out under conditions of concentrated rainfall:! channels ' were dur to carry of fihe flood and ' bridges built to span the breaches.; There is little rainfall in the; desert for months, and a merciless' sun beats down on the vast, arid stretches .Rut what little rain there Is comes all at once and stors are often of such exceptional intensity that the whole country flows with water. Pushing an improved hhihway through the shifting sand hills was a project conceived by K. Q. Sulli van, district engineer of the divi sion of highways, and the district he administers contains the princi pal desert roads of the state. The old plank road which once pushed for six miles over undula ting hills still stands, a reminder of the days when the continuous services of a crew of men and 1 hea dof mules were needed to keep it open. Kven then, during heavy wind storms, it was closed at niuht and occasionally in the day lime. Highway construction in desert regions is costly, although depen dent on the locality and character of the country. Sections paved in the Imperial valley cost approxi mately 1 4 9.000 a mile to grade, con struct culverty, and surface with a 2u-foot pavement.
