The Colorado Desert.

Some Interesting statements con
ceriing the recent explorations in the
Colorado Desert are given by the
san Francisco Bu!1stia. We quote:

Aad report Of a terrific sand storm

barnadino County. These storms

Santa Barbara County, and inland as

stage road from VisaIia to Los An
geloe these storms have been encouut-
cred in such terrific force that it has
been necessary to detach the horses
and put them on the Ieeward side OF
the stage for protection. Tie hct.

oven, where q hot and raritcd atmos-
phere IS generated, which RACES in
bot blasts from time to time over
these counties. There dry and heat
ed currents encounter tie moisture
which comes down from the north in
the winter, so that there is a region
on the southern border OF the state
which is always robbed Of moisture
by the proximity Of this desert.
There was a time wien tie greater
part Of this desert was covered BY the
waters OF tie Guif OF California.
Much of it has also been covered bv
fresh water. as the marks of the two
benches, or water lines distinctly
show.

Whatever may be its issue. do not
attach much significance to it. You
are, Of course, aware Of the unfortu-
nate record which came to light soon
after the late senatorial election in
our state. touching the character Of
the elected representative. The at
tempt was made, and successfully,
IN convention, to procure q semi-en-
dorsement by the Republican party
of this unfortunate" man. The re
suit is an indirect boiling Of 30
so much of the party that the election
of the Democrat candidate seems as
sured. The Republican candidate
Is noble man who ought by all
means to be our choice; but it seems
to a great many more important 10
rebuke the attempted whitewashing,
and so vote for principles, than to
decide as between the two candi-
dates. If Hiram Smith, the Repub-
lican candidate, is elected, do not put
it down as Oregon's Endorsement Of
senatorial records, for it will rather
mean that this gentleman had per-
sonal worth sufficient 10 overcome
the feeling created by the indorsing
resolution. If Mr.. Nesmith, the
Democratic candidate, is elected. do
not put it down Republican defeat.
