S0130BA SPRINGS, Calif., March 20. If you wish to ap
preciate what the motor car hag done to eliminate distances,
try hitch hiking for a while. Time yourself for a two mile jaunt
along the highway, and then put your stop watch on a motor
car, assuming a normal speed for both. We did it yesterday.
Motored to the San Jacinto tunnel, the western portal of the
Colorado Kiver aqueduct two miles north of here and then
walked back. It took the car three minutes, to go up, and our
faithful dogs consumed just 3!) minutes to negotiate the return.
Which incidentally explodes the theory the average person,
SAUNTERING along the highway, makes four miles an hour.
Time yourself and see. Don't saunter if you wish to make it.
Push yourself just short of a dog trot.
. . e
Before visiting the aqueduct tunnel we started on a hike to
San Jacinto, the back-way. (We shall probably enter the mara
thon run at Berlin three months hence.) Met a car, a few hun
dred yards away from the Soboba which surprised us by coming
to a sudden stop, with certain gestures of recognition from
within. Walked back to see what was the matter and were
delighted to see Mr. and Mrs. Roger Bennett, who had motored
over from Palm Springs.- They had not come to call however,
but were looking for a place to enjoy a picnic lunch after keep
ing a deniist appointment in Banning. Persuaded them to visit
the editorial tepee, up on the hill, look over the resort and sam
ple the springs. Roger is a glutton for springs, regardless of
the flavor or temperature, passing none of them bjr. Mrs. B.
more fastidious found a slight sip at one spring sufficient,
white sulphur or black sulphur, she maintained the taste is the
same like eggs and rotten ones. (Trust the manager of El
Encanto is on duty this morning!)
'
Well whatever the final judgment of Roosevelt's New Deal,
there will be plenty of lasting monuments to his administration
monuments that will endure as long as this old ball of dirt
docs. Hoover Dnm and this Colorado river aqueduct is one of
them. (The Los Angeles Times insists upon calling it "Hoover
dnm" regardless of the official title of Boulder, and as a result
that is the term employed throughout this section of California.)
Of course this is not a New Deal project, but practically all the
work has been done during the Roosevelt administration so by
future generations it. will undoubtedly be classified with Bonne
ville, Grand Coulee, Tennessee Valley and other huge power and
irrigation projects.
Ho'over Dam has been completed and turned over to the
government about two years before schedule, wonder how
long it would have taken if the contract had been let on a cost-
plus basis! They are behind schedule on this Metropolitan
Water district project, but work will probably be completed by
1938. The delay has been due largely to water there being
over 00 miles of tunnel, between here and Hoover dam (about
240 miles northeast of here) and
subterranean rivers were encountered.
Well the tunnel entrance at
looks like any other tunnel a train could go through it. As a
matter of fact trains do go through it on narrow gauge tracks
but they nro electric used to haul the dirt and rock out and
take the crews to work. We walked in a few hundred ytfrds,
until we came to a red illuminated sign up high on the right
which spelled danger. The tunnel extended as far as the eye
could sen a straight row of electric lights, as light in there as
tho Holland tunnel from Jersey City to New York. Later wc
were offered a trip to the first work station, but decided it
would merely be a repetition of what we had seen. Moreover
it was cold and damp in there and we had brought neither
sweater nor coat. .
'
We have, enough figures and of sufficient proportions even
to impress a New Deal adding machine, but confine ourselves
to only two of the more significant. This tunnel is 13 miles
long, running from this western portal to Cabizon, north of
Palm Springs, and is to be lined with concrete. Perhaps this
figure for the concrete needed will make Moose Muirhead's
mouth WATER I 4,730,000 cubio yards, enough to build a 14
foot motor highway from Los Angeles to New York I A 16-foot
tunnel and yet tho dirt excavated will total 44,600,000 cubic
yards enough declared the engineer in charge, to cover Persh
ing Square to the depth of a mile. v(And wo wager if that were
done, the lion tamer and tho phoney Buffalo Bill would still
be sitting on their respective benches talking to the USUAL
assembled audience!) ,
Some people may supposo a tunnel like this is built by start
ing to dig at both sides of the mountain simultaneously and
then meeting in the center. Not so. Such a plan would have
consumed probably a tenth of a century longer, for only two
erews could then be on the job at one time. There art from five
to eight crews working all the time. Shafts are dug, at the
lowest surface points revealed by the topographical survey
(the bottom of the valleys and ravines for example) then two
crews arc let down and start to work in opposite directions at
each tunnel. That is why tho finished tunnel is not straight
but follows a zig-zag line, its direction being determined, NOT
by the shortest distance between two points but by the contours
on the surface.
They have first aid Rtntions ready for all emergencies, but
considering the dangerous nature of the work, there have been
amazingly few accidents and this year at least no fatalities.
We noticed several ears with trailers parked in a group of trees
near the tunnel headquarters. Here several of the engineers
and executives live. Ono of the trailers had not only an electric
refrigerator, and twin beds, hut a shower bath and some pulley
weights, Mioh as one might find in a gymnasium. After being
on the job all day in the tunnel, one must feel in need of a
little brisk gymnasium exercise in the evening!
This water from Boulder pardon, Hoover dam will be
used for household purposes and irrigation, according to the
official prospectus Water for household purposes in the I.os
Angeles area, ehT Well we venture to say; this will eventually
mean dunu-d little for irrigation. Kor that Los Aneeles area
now take in everything north
Canadian line! (One-third of
Hoover dam will be used to pump
in this "ditch"' which sounded
man who escorted us about, repeated the figure when we ques
tioned him.) We had supposed it was almost entirely gravity
flow.
Which reminds us a federal district judge in L. A. has ruled
his court has no jurisdiction over this hobo quarantine, operated
by the Los Angeles police, whereupon the Times puts it on the
front pavrc as a victory for this unconstitutional exclusion.
Denying jurisdiction is hardly- a victory for ANYONE. As a
matter of fact Attorney General Webb of California has an
nounced there is no legal justification for this high-handed
action whatever, and lias urged the chief of police to quit while
the quitting is good. Hut the Los Angeles C. of C. is behind the
police force n nothinu will be done. K. W. !!.

Enjoy Pears Every Day
To the Editor: -
Having discovered persons who
scarcely know that Winter Nells pears
are an article of food, X thought a
word of apreclatlon of this local pro
duct might be timely.
We have this week been using the
last of our Winter Nells pears. I do
no know how many boxes of pears
we brought out from town last Octo
ber, but I do know that for months
we have enjoyed pears nearly ev
ery day. My early life was spent
in the e ay s t, where any kind
of fresh fruit In the winter months
was a luxury. I doubt if most per
sons In southern Oregon properly ap
preciate and make use of the winter
pears and apples that the packing,
houses so generously distributed.
If, as many of us believe. It la
criminal to defray or vise for stock
feed products that are suitable for
human consumption, then "the pack
ing houses should be commended for
allowing their culls to be taken into
our homes for use. Is not this one
of the little thing that make of the
Rogue River valley a "great count
try?"
Sincerely
MRS. BERT HARR.
