The Arizona sentinel., 1884-10-04
FROM YUMA TO HONOLULU.

but brief sujourn, l half regre
 leaving that place, where en joy ed such splendid health ant
 was fortunate Tn making the ac quaintance of gentlemen of letter
 and honorable standing in tht community. I have heard For
 Yuma is the hottest place on 0uI n earth; indeed ii is not. I have o never during my travels seen less sickness prevail during d ho!
 summer than prevailed in YumY , this summer Of 1884.
 } l was present during the trans
 fer across the Colorado by steam.
 CT, while the railway bridge was
 disabled. I saw part of the strong and we'll constructed bridge yield
 to tho OverWh elming power and
 force of the Waters.
 Were Yuma not one of the
 heaIIhiest places on the American
 continent, how many of the horny
 handed Workmen that labured
 during the powerful rays of the
 sun would have succumbed? Yet
 but little or no sickuess prevd lied.
 From persouaI knowledge 1 am
 glad 10 be able to hear testimony | (disinterested) 10 the able and un-
 1iDching manner in which the
 railway officials performed the
 tedious and tiresune duties of lheIr offices with qbick dispatch,
 tact and ability during the lrans> fer whilst the railroad bridge was disabled. Major Railton, the en ergetic and efficient railway 1 agent, Whose superior abilities and long experience fits hiM for much higher position in the de
 purtment, the steam boat officials, Captains Pulhamus, God rey and
 PUole, did their work faithfully
 md well under tiying circum- stances. The railway company are fortunate to have such good md efficient officers in tn cir em- plOy on the Colorado river at Yuma. The quarantine officer, Dr. II. Y. Bald win, a young man of eminent medical skill and abil- ny, l'tcly arrived, was most at tentive aud ready day and night to render his professional services | and relieve those who We're ia need of him. 1 congratulate Yuma Tn having d medical prac- utiOner of Dr. Baldwin's worth.
 Ail aboard! across the bridge! sweeping through the desert! We were hardly seated when day daWned. Passed the new Liver pool salt mine. Break fast at In diU, 1l9 miles from Yuma-the time appeared about one hour. After break fast there stood behind the counter Tn the diniug room d daZzilug blonde. Wilhouta blush on her pretty face she demanded one dollar. Promptly paid, with t lock of surprise at the rather nigh figure. Railway accommo- daCion gO0d- Employees civil, courteous and willing 10 afford every information. Soon our eyes were ieasted by sight of the valley Of San Bernardino with lis green fields, shady trees and magnificent buildings. Los An geles reached, where again We refreshed our parched throat.
 Left the City of Angels. A very nice country from there to La throp, and much nicer from there to San Francisco; crossed over the ferry from Oakland to the city. We found the hotel run ners, as usual, d most abominable nuisance. In no other country would the authorities allow trav elers to be bored with such charge of unWelcome visitors as at the Oakland ferry on Market street, San Francisco. Stayed at the Russ House on Montgomery street, we'll conducted and re> spectable place, and well adapted for travellers. On Monday, the 1st of September, at 3 o'clock pm, boarded the steamship Mariposa. Let go head lines; wharf crowded with all >o,ts and conditions of
