Gran. "Nov that the needs of the ranch have been pretty well taken care of fur the present, the orange trees sprayed, the walnut trees pruned, the plowing, harrowing and cultivating done, the irrigation ditches and later- als cleaned out and ready for use when the spring rains have spent themselves, what say you to making a trip to 'imperial Valley, that new inland oasis away belnw the surface of the sea?" Thus spake this wealthy rancher, who owns one of the fittest high grade citrus fruit and walnut ranches in the state of California, but who believes that best results physically, mentally and fin- ancially are only obtained when there is a judicious admixture of Work and play. This seasonable suggestion was made in their beau- tiful city home, where they only spend their week -ends, the call of the great out-of-doors appealing alike to both himself and his good wife, who enjoys the coveted distinc- tion of being a native daughter. There was no disposition to argue the point at issue and as usual two great minds were in harmony and sought the same channel. The novel proposition was eagerly adopted. The big motor car was requisitioned and given once over to see that every- thing was in condition to withstand what promised to be a most inter- esting though somewhat strenuous outing. Such persons as I have described always have friends, They have a compelling manner, and seem only to be best pleased them- selves when they are giving pleas- ure to others. Their capacious car will carry seven comfortably for short journeys, but as the proposed one is a long one and through ter- ritory unknown to any of them, it was quickly decided that each of the principals invite one, making four in all.. Of course the lady's choice was bestowed on one who was a real mother in Israel and companion. One who had many times and oft known what true hospitality could 11121111, and the remaining place was conferred on a mutual acquaintance who 11021 saw the last obstacle removed and the course cleared that he also might realize what unselfishness really con- sisted in. We are away to a good start, the tire for the night to enjoy sweet re. ladies being of vivacious and con- vivial quality kept up a merry com- ment on every swiftly passing object of interest so that time and space were equally lost behind us, as our efficient pilot safely and swiftly led the way into new but pleasant paths. The day is nearly spent, we are already well into the mountains. As the shadows begin to lengthen we see a signboard which interpreted says "Engineer's Springs."

Wood and water, the essentials of a good camping ground, sre here in abundanee. The two ladiee alt deft to the preparation of the evening re- past while the other two male mem- bees nf the party gathered food for the flames, anti soon we sat down to the best meal of the day, while our, campfire cracAed away merrily to the music of the bubbling brook. I should have mentioned that in our approach to Engineer's Springs earlier in the evening we spied a house "sat upon a hill" like a watch- man upon the walls, and not wishing to trespass we crossed the stream, not knowing that we were soon to be visited by our opulent landlord, who measures his estate not by acres, but by mountains, In the light of our cheerful lire we see him approaching and with an assuring greeting he bids us make ourselves at home and to use the neat pile of dry brushwood which he was generous enough to in- timate was left there by him for just such purposes. It may be that we were made more welcome from the fact that he recognized one of the ladies of our party, who in some pre- vious year trod this desert path and like ourselves had selected Engineer's Springs as a place to rest, and Ile promptly invited us to visit his house 00 our return journey. The weather was perfect, with the stars twinkling in the midnight sky and to the music of running water, we were soon in the land of dreams. The 'morning broke quite too soon, and after a hasty breakfast we started early, as we had a lung trail ahead of us in real mountains. The pure air is bracing, the roads are surprisingly good, the weather is propitious and everything points to another delightful day. We are learning something about a district not known to us before. We remark the number of motor trucks heavily laden, especially 111 their journey eastward. No opportunity to ascer- tain the origin or destination of this modern development in transportation unless it be that the painted inscrip- tions "El Centre," "Bewley" or 'Im- perial" give a clue to that portion of it going east. Occasionally we catch glimpses of the new railway from San Diego to Yuma. It had, a pre- carious and uncertain prospect for over twenty years, hope deferred had made the heart sick of the San Dlegans, but as everything comes to him who waits, the lonely dwellers in these mountains have now their band of glistening steel and are upon one of the great transcontinental systems. Thus far in the mountains we have traversed a state highway The Por- tion lying before us 15 in process of construction. Temporary and im- provised roads take the place of the permanent one. They are not so pleasant nor yet so safe to travel on, and unlike the old wine, the worst is left to the last. We ane slowly but surely ascending higher and higher and are now near- ing the summit of the mountain range by never-ending spiral climbings. We descend abruptly for short distances as our motor car dances merrily along on the narrowest of narrow ledges, while we round the sharp curves which seem to suggest danger if not disaster, but our general trend is to greater altitudes, We seem not to he on the eartb, but up in the heavens Mountains seem to rise above mountains, their peaks are nearer, the mists creep down upon them and swathe them in et silver fleece. There is a constantly chang- ing outline at every turn in our jour- ney, Surely these mountains never looked more beautiful than now. The clouds threaten, but the landscape smiles, and range beyond range dis- appears in the angry sky. Fine gleams of sunshine fall suddenly now and then out of the gray sky and rifts of wonderfiufly brilliant blue shine through the breast of the storm that threatens to arrest our progress. Another turn in our shelf-like road and we catch a slanting glance of an outstanding peak, The lights and shades seem to play upon It in all their rugged geandeur. All the colors of the rainbow are chasing each other down its rocky slopes and now the benediction of the golden sun light- ens up the landscape. We see in a distant valley what resembles the glistening of water. We are now de- scending rapidly towards a new level, We view the landscape at shorter range, As we roll through deep ra- vines with their golden light and passing shadows, the birds are on the Wing :and the cactus rises stately amid the trees, wild floweradd to the beauty of the landscape, the foliage is illumined and glowing and the most opulent of meadows seems to sleep in a vale of sunshi»e, A back. ward look through the gap we have traversed sees the whole landscape bathed In a dome of silver.

We are again on a finished dor- tion of the highway, running straight as an arrow into the desert beyond, which in the distance and still below ui, looks like 0100211 silver. In a little canyon we pass clumps of cactus and the black ashes of old fires, and through the unalterable silence of the desert are making a flying leap to reach the new civilize - Holt of Imperial Vallee'. We have a new realizations of what it means to be "alone in the desert." The fine powderlike sand lay in undulating ridges, while again tall spirals of it like water, spouts whirled across our path and the very desert seemed to be in motion. Thunder storms occa. stormily are heard in the western ranges, but here the rains seem for- ever to be denied to the desert. Our course, and that 'of the new teilroad, now seems to converge. There are signs ot improvement visible, fields l elfalfa and herds of cattle begin to eppear, the soil has less sand in it, irtegiolag ditches intersect our course, Man's ingenuity has provid- ed what nature seems to have denied this valley, We spend the night with strict im- partiality between Imperial and El Centro Cities , The weather is spring- like, the evening cool, but not cold, We dare not try to remember that we are over three hundred feetbe- low sea level, or we might be too ex- ; cited to sleep.

A dusky, noisy traveller apparently in a great hurry ancl driving a light car, came along. After a brief stay he prepared to start, not knowing what we had just conte through a ehort five tnilee ahead of him, bet he dirl not long remain in that bliss - fill condition. A tall, lanky son of :Mit with a bulging hip pocket had an argument with him. Just what he aid to him we could not make out, but it sounded like "You emaciated desert rat."
