DE LIB HIES OF DEATH VALLEY
Paul Pe Laney, formerly employed
on the East Orcgonian, Is now edit
ing the Death Valley Magazine at
Rhyolite. Nevada, and in the last Is?
sue' describes Death Valley In the fol
lowing graphic manner:
Death Valley is a name ot magic as
well as of terror.
In the Pahute language the valley
la c.illed Tomesha, meaning "ground
afire."
To the Jakhawkers" who discov
ered it in 1S49. it is a nightmare, a
memory of hell. They gave it its
name. x
To the prospector today, it is a
mystery, a vague danger-spot on
earth, with a thousand bony hands
beckoning men on to death.
No two pairs of eyes ever saw it
alike: no two minds ever formed the
s.ime conception of it; no two mem
ories ever drew the same picture of
it: no two mirage-lakes of the same
f.'rm ever glistened in the sun ahead
of thethirst-tortured traveler.
"This valley has a length of about
60 miles and an 'average width of
from five to 10 miles." says official
ly, Marius P.. Campbell of the United
States geological survey. "At the
lowest point its floor Is supposed to
be about 4 50 feet below sea level."
"The valley has a length of 120
miles and a width varying from three
to 10 miles" officially states Sydney
H. Ball of the United States geologi
cal survey. "The lowest point within
the area mapped is about 280 feet be
low sea level, but 15 miles farther
south the depression is at least 125
feet deeper."
Mr. Campbell compiled his data In
1502; Mr. Ball made his report In
1S0T.
"If you can cross it under 25 miles
at any point you will have to find
some trail that has never yet been
discovered." says an old prospector.
The fact that It Is surrounded by
abrupt mountains with few passes re
quires several days' travel over most
of the trails before Death Valley prop
r can be crossed.
Death Valley, still, mysterious, awe
inspiring, with Its silent depth and
uncanny legends, appeals like magic
to the unscientific. The unlearned
man beholds it from the mountain
tops and visions of mystery flit
through his brain, and every inch of
the vast area possesses to him an In
terest that Is superstitious. To the
scientific man, it is a study with out
an end. It appeals to him as an un
fathomable spot upon earth where
r.ature has played her greatest pranks
to puzz!e the student
Its vastness of smallness deceives
all men who behold it, so that the
scientific differ In conclusions as well
as the unlearned. One may stand
upon an eminence and see every Inch
of It, and yet to survey it and exam
ine it as one would other like areas
of the earth's surface, would require
a time and a capacity 'possessed by
few men.
Funeral and Grapevine mountains
on the east tower above it from 6000
to T000 feet, and the Panamlnt range
on the west ranges higher than 10,
000 feet. At no approach to Deatn
Valley Is there a pass possibly under
4000 feet above its floor. At many
places the walls are - perpendicular
and where It la approachable, a half
day or more of travel Is required to
. reach the edge of it.
When one has reached It through
the long journey of stifling heat,
surrounded by drifting sands or long
stretches of erystallied salt-beds
glistening In the sun. with high
mountains tfwerlng to thesldes on
either side, shutting one out from the
world, there, in the giant of sepur
chers, one realizes the vastness of the
place, and the lack of ability of any
man to study or examine it suficiently
to form a satisfactory conclusion.
Visions of green lawns, running
brooks, singing birds and the busy
life beyond the mountains call out in
the stillness of the place, and one
does not long remain deaf to their
calls.
From the top of mountain peaks,
some of them eternally covered with
snow, one may look down almost
straight on the earth's surface. The
valley, lying between the two great
ranges of mountains which seem to
come together at each end; bears the
form of a huge serpent From the
mountain crests one sees lakes and
meadows, and stretches of green
woodlands. It was these that doubt
less gave, the parched-lipped Immi
grants of old the courage to plod on
to the depths of the valley after
crossing the barred and waterless
mountains.
But when the valley Is reached, the
lake beds are either found to be of
salt-brine or of an alkali substance
that gives out a reflection like wa
ter. The meadows are long stretches
ow dry salt-grass and the green wood
lands are small thistly mesquite bush
es peculiar to that soil.
PULLMANS TO BE "DRY."
Sak of Liquor Will Be Abolished by
Sleeping Car reople.
Pullman cars are "dry" now.
Following Its decision of last Feb
ruary to abolish the sale of all liquors
on its cars In every part of the United
States, Canada and Mexico as soon as
the stock on hand could be disposed
of without loss, the Pullman company
has finally put that rule into effect,
and given strict instructions to all Its
division superintendents to see to it
that the rule Is not deviated from In
the least, stat'es a San Francisco re
port. The left-over stock has ben sold
back to the wholesale liquor dealers.
The company has- taken this action
owing to the great Increase in the
number of hlstricts of its territory
where prohibition Is being enforced.
Furthermore, not only have these
changed conditions of the past four
teen or fifteen month cut deeply Into
Ihe profits formerly derived from this
source, but on long or through runs
liquor canNbe sold only for portions
of the distance, and the company's of
ficials found they were constantly In
danger of prosecution for law-breaking
through the carelessness of em
ployes. This was particularly the case In
states like Maine. Kansas. Texas and
Oeorgla and In many towns In other
states, where under the local option
law prohibition prevails.
The only trains on which liquor can
be had are those with dining cars,
and It must be used ln,the latter.
The various roads own and control
these dining cars and the Pullman
people have no Jurisdiction over them.
There Is serious trouble In the pub
lic school at Klona, "Wash. Last Fri
day all the girls In the room of Prin
cipal R. H. Simmons left the room
and the building when the principal
Informed them that they were so
badly boy-struck they could not do
Justice to their studies. The parents
of toe girls uphold them In resenting
the Insult and the principal has been
asked to resign, which he refuses to
do without a hearing.

DATES WILL HE NAMED.
People Are Determined Hint the LiiNt
Yertigu of the. Muehlno Shall Ho
Swept Amiy Many Antl-Siateiiieiit
Men Are Switching Over to the Peo
ple's Side.
The Oregon Sunday Journal says
of tho prospect of statement No. 1
swooping the state at the coming June
election:
Eight legislative candidates pledg
ed to statement No. 1 hove been plac
ed In the field by tho voters of Wash
ington, Yamhill, Lincoln and Tilla
mook counties in opposition to the
antl-statcment No. 1 nominees elected
at the recent primaries.
Non-partisan mass meetings of the
voters of those four counties were held
Friday and Saturday nt Hillsboro and
MeMlnnvllle for the purpose of nomi
nating candidates who would be pledg
ed unqualifiedly to vote for the peo
ple's choice for United States senator,
and there Is little doubt that the men
thus nominated will be elected In
June.
Sentiment In favor of statement No.
1 Is overwhelmingly strong In the leg
islative districts represented In the.m
mass meetings. Republicans as well
as democrats are determined that the
will of the people as expressed In the
June election shall be observed by the
legislature. The movement Is distinct
ly non-partisan, the two parties being
equally represented on the new ticket.
Barrett Changes Front.
One of the most significant Indica
tions of the temper of the voters of
the founr counties represented In these
mass niootiifgs s-the fact that W. N.
Barrett, who was nominated In thp
primaries on a "republican voters'
choice" platform, has changed front
and has subscribed to statement No.
1. Mr. Barrett realized that the mass
of his constituents would be opposed
to the election of any candidate who
had not pledged himself unequivocally
to statement No. 1, and he thererore
concluded t bow to tho popular will.
When It was announced at the Me
Minnville mass meeting that Barrett
had decided to adopt the pledge em
bodied In statement No. 1, the news
was received with cheers and he was
made the nominee for state senator
from the 24th senatorial district.
The Independent vote in Washington
and Yamhill counties Is very heavy
and they are recknnod In the doubtful
column In all close contests over state
elections. In 1906 Chajnberlain car
red Yamhill by 115 vofes and Wash
ington county went against him by
only 31. In Lincoln and Tillamook
counties the vote Is comparatively
small, but in both, Chamberlain re
ceived a good vote in tho last state
campaign. In the four counties, Lincoln. Til
lamook. Washington and Yamhill,
Chamberlain ran behind Wlthycombe
In 190 by only 29 votes. In the
present campaign the adherents of
Chamberlain and of Cake are alike In
terested In seeing statement No. 1 can
didates elected to tho legislature, and
there l little reason to doubt, there
fore, that the nominees of the Hills
boro and MeMlnnvllle mass meeting
will bo successful at the polls In June.
Plans are already on foot In other
counties of the state for the nomina
tion of Independent legislative candi
dates who will be pledged to statement
No. 1. nnd present Indications are that
an overwhelming majority of the next
legislature will be committed to the
election of tho people's choice for
United States senator.
