CALIFOKN1A.
San F+aHetseo Ala
The work on tho Southern Pacific Railroad,
III tho Colorado Desert, has stopped for the
season at Seven Palms, which Is 90 miles le-
you'd san Gorgouio Pass, 130 miles beyond Los
Angeles, no miles this eldo Of Fort Yuma, and
1so this s!de OF Fort Slohavc, which two last
nsmcd po!nta arc LEU mllcs apart on tho Coao-
RADIO River aud on tho came Meridian. Travel
crs houud for Northern Arizona have usually
gpue to Mohaye, rs those for tue southern part
Of the Territory have gone by Yuma, anu the
extension Of tho iron road to Seven Fnlms
shortehs the TINS to both usain crossings Of the
Colorado. There is, however, no road VI pres
ent open from Seven Palms to Mohave, and, US
tho route leads over several mountain rangcs,
tic construction may be costly. Most Of the
travel to Arizona tas Eonc BY way OF yuma, and
the staging over what has been Que Of the most
trying routes On cur eontinefit hah peen re-
Colorado. Tho Aenelt to the Territory must
be great; but VIC prcsutne that the trsfilc would
have to quadrupls before tAs Railroad Company
would consider that portion OF the road beyond
San Gorgouiu rass profitable.
The connection bgtween this city and Los An
cclcs will be completed III September. About

Roberts was then asked to go and see Hayes

arrived i'm this city together. Both are my
acquaintance. j had long ard interesting
conversation with Lamar, and suggested to
him that IL might be well for him to call ON
Gov. Hayes OF his way oWashington. Hehad
two equally good reasons for not accepting
the suggestion. First he was in q hurry to get
TO Washington, VIII re he had to preside at
the democratic caucus Second, he thought he
could not call upon Hayes without newspaper
comment, that might BE- disagreeable. There
was another reason. Neither he or Hayes
could have anything bearing directly upon
the public business to say to each other, and
