Another Southern Pacific rail- road across the continent, with it's terminal point at Santa Barbara, is talked of. The president of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad company has written to a prominent citizen of Santa Bar bara for a full description of the harbor, as to facilities for loading and unloading large vessels. The company proposes to build to the Pacific Coast but has not yet de- cided upon the route to be taken or at what particular point to strike the Rio Grande valley run ming down to Mexico and Arizona at about the thirty-tifth parallel. The letter is full of encouragement and there seems to be fair pros pect for the terminus at Santa Barbara.-Los Angeles Star.

Lieutenant Fleming's Sentence.

The sentence of Lieutenant Fleming, the defaulting officer at Alcatraz Island, has been approv- ed by the President, and reads as follows: "To be dismissed the service of the United States, and to be confined at hard labor, at such place as the proper authori- ties may direct, for the period of three years, and to be further con- fined at such place until he pays to the United States fine of S1,- 900, provided that the whole pe- riod of confinement shall not eX- ceed five years. Also, that the crime, his name and place of abode, shall be published in the papers of the state from whence he came" The Secretary of War has desig- mated Fort Madison, the Iowa State Penitetiary, as the place of confinement.
 Fleming used to issue supplies to the Hualpai Indians at Beale Springs. Instead of sending him to prison they ought to have put him to inspecting Indian Agents. He knows how it is himself.

THE Board of Supervisors has been in session this week. A full report of their proceedings will be given as soon as they get through with the business of this ses- sion. Much of their time was consumed in being brow-beaten by the District At torney. The Chairman did indeed once say, Please allow the Board to canvass the merits of this bill without interruption and we will refer it to you for advice before taking final action upon it." This insolent disregard of professional courtesy brought on climax. The District Attorney jumped to his feet and demanded why he was sub- jected to such "reboof," protested that be would no longer submit to being insult ed, etc, etc. He thumped on the table and nearly scared the poor, meek little clerk into fits. He has good thing on the clerk he can scare him whenever he wants to, and he knows it. Later in the session one of the Supervisors had the audacity 10 ask under what law the District Attorney had made certain charge in his bill against the county. This was too much cheek to be endured Again the District Attorney rose to his feet and protested against the insults and prejudice from which he had suffered through the ignorance and insO- lence of Supervisors Grow and Samter. After that they will probably know better how to keep their places and not presume further on the indulgence hitherto allowed them by the District Attorney.

A recent Yuma dispatch stated that the entire valley of the Gila river, east to Florence had been taken up under the Desert Land act, by what are termed the ''iand- grabbers." We thought at the time that the statement was a gross eXaggeration, but awaited to learn further. From a private letter we learn that the total num- Der of entries so far made in the Gila valley under the act named will not exceed 30,000 acres, or less than 50 entries. AS the dis tance from Yuma to Florence is 237 miles, and the Gila valley will average at least eight miles wide for the entire length, it is easily to be seen that the amount of de- sert land entries IS quite small as compared with what remains to be entered under that law. A considerable portion of that valley is not yet sectioniZed, and the railroad lands will necessarily en- brace one-half of the whole. It is just a3 we'll to be a little more accurate. - s. F. Post.

ICE.-The ice business in Yuma has been very much mixed for the past month. A son of Milli- ken, the ice man of Los Angeles, ..ame out here and furnished ice, with more or less irregularity, for 8 few weeks. Ostensibly he charged six cents per pound, but by delivering short weight he managed to get more. He made certain business connections here which his father repudiated. Young Milliken went off, without regard for creditors, and his fath- CT sent an agent out to continue the ice business here, as the de- mand is large, customers careless about weights, and the business is profitable. The railroad supplies the town of Bakersfield in Califor- mia with ice brought by the car- load from Truckee. It costs them next to nothing at Truckee, and they can furnish it cheaply at at Bakersfield, making fair profit and good freight out of it. The bu- siness here is a good one, and holds out encouragement to any one who will engage in it under railroad auspices. Eastern families, who have been getting F pounds of ice per day for @55 cents per week would be shocked to find them selves paying $Sper week for less ice here. At -four cents per pound, honest weight, there is 8 big demand here flor ice, and a nice margin of profit to the ven- fdor. Milliken charges too much.
