On his return from Arizona yes-
 erday, Monroe Salisbury of this city
 was interviewed by Chronicle re-
 porter with reference 10 the new
 railroad which he and other San
 Francisco capitalists are about to
 build as branch line to the South
 ern Pacific. MT. Sails bury said that
 the road had recently been subsi>
 dized by the Arlzona Legisl ature to the amount of $200,000, and, al> though he had anticipated more liberal treatment at the hands Of the enterprising Solops of that Territory
 he was sure that the company would construct the line. The road is to
 run from MaricoLa, on the Southern Pacific, through Maricopa county to Phoenix, a distance of thirty-f1ve miles, vla Tempe and Hayden's Fer ry. It is to be broad guage and will cost between S400. 900 and $560.- GOO. The llne runs through rich agricultural and mining district in- habited by about 10000 people. It
 will be an easy foati=to construct as
 there is no heavy grading. There are, however, two 0 large bridges to be. built, one over the Gila and the other over the Salt river, the latter is to be about half d mile long
 MT. Sali sbury, whose financial in terest in the proposed railroad is greater than that of the other mems bers of the company, has associated with him Joseph Valentine, Homer King, seph E. Robinson, A. Jar r1ngton and Hugh White. The com pany has eighteen months in which to construct the road, and MT. Sails bury says the grading will be begun within sixty days. A force of laborers is being engaged and the prelimina- " work will soon be complete. With the exception of some little trouble | about crossing the Pima resci vatIon, no difficulty has been encouDte red i in securing rights of way. When completed 10 Phoenix the road will proba ply be extended northward, it being the compsny's intention to connect the line with the Atlantic & Pacific. -S. ?. Chronicle

From a letter to our esteemed cc- temporary, the Napa Register, writ- ten from Gila Bend by MT. John c. Rowley, late Of Napa valley, Cal, but now resident of Gila Bend, we cull the following very favorable opinion which he expresses in our favors
 ED. REGISTER: - Thinking you would like to know what is going on in this pat of the world, will en> deav or to give you few items. This climate, during the winter season, cannot be excelled in any country It is like spring in Napa valley. For lung and throat troubles it surpasses all other climes. I am positive this climate will prolong the lives of consumptIves for many y ears, if not eventually cure them. Several have come here who were bad off and they are now stout and hearty. This part of the county has just commence to settle up, several families having moved in during the past two weeks, and more are coming. There is plenty of good land at preser t, but before many months roll around nearly all will be taken. Anything and everything will grow kere and flourish. For fruit and wine coun- try it cannot be surpassed in my judgement. This is better country fer men of limited means than Call,

 THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. 
 Jim Stewart is the most sought after man in the town at the present time, and legislators and attaches have suddenly discovered that man who owns a stage line IS of much more importance than law-maker.
 Trough? Well should say they were," remarked a visitor to the House the other evening. While waiting for tie Sergeant-at>Arms to bers struck up "John Browns Body" and made the chamber ring with their united chorns. The roaring could be heard down on the plaza, and several excited citizens came rushing up, thinking that general free fight was in progress.
 eff you think | m here for my health you're of your pedestal" Thus said an honorable member yesterday to a lobbyist who was inn portuning him for vote on certain measure The lobbyists took the hint and started off at once after the ''sack."
 Ruggles is the great objecter of the House, and so thoroughly has he bored that body thar one disgusted member remarked yesterday II wish to God this thing was over, if only to get clear of Ruggles."
 "Oily Cannon" is the name ap- piled 10 C. c. Stevens, of the Coun- cil. When it comes down to gen tune "gall." it is conceded he takes the bakery. His flop on the Asy- lum bill is being criticised in a manner not very fattering to the ex- Sand-Lot statesman from Pima.
 The "Third House" has been power during this session and has exercised more influence on legisla- tion than has ever been known in the political history Of the Territory.
 Several of the county salary bills, row in the Council, will receive their quietus in the House.

q wish the thing was over; I'm getting tired" remarked an honor able member to your correspondent this morning. He but voiced the general sentiment of both houses.
 The fact is, the big measures have all been disposed and of; every man who came here with his little axe, has either had it sharpen, ed or has given up all hopes of ever reaching the grindstone. There re- malns to be disposed of a mass of bills, but it is safe to say that not one in ten of them will ever become laws. Marlcopa, for once in her history, has received that recognitlou which is so justly her due; and there is the biggest kind of a "kick" among other delegations atthe ''galr' of the Salt River Valley. Your rep- resentatives, however, are not par> ticularly disturbed by these envious remarks, and want little more pie. The bill to make an appropriation for your
 FAIR ASSOCIATION
 was read in the Council yesterday, and will co me up as special order tomorrow. It is meeting with good deal of opposition in the upper house, and the vote will be close. Todd, Porter and Armstrong are do- Ing some active work, assisted by outside friends, and if the measure should not go through, it will not be the fault of the friends of Maricopa.
 The bill making an appropriation for a Normal School at Tempe, IS also Tn the Council but will hardly pass. One honorable gentleman in discussing the bill yesterday, went so far as to say that Arizona nas as much use for Normal School as monkey has for hand organ. "Todd however was not to be bluffed and succeeded fn having the bill referred to the appropriate Committee. It will come up on Tuesday, and your readers will know it's fate ere this reaches you. The bill for which thele has been more lobbying, pro and con, than any measure before the present session,-to create the county of

They ragged around through the cor riders and lobbies through streets and bar-rooms, breathing curses loud and deep upon those whom they asserted went back on them." The promoters of the measure asserted that job was put up on them while they were absent from the cham Der and the bill called up two days be- fore it's regular time. A council of war was called at once, and it was determined to introduce new bill, and with the aid of the "sack" make last desperate effort for victory. So, on yesterday, bill to create the county of Sierra" made its appears ance in the house. It will likely pass tomorrow, but when it reaches the Council, it will be knifed ruth> lessly as was its predecessor, Every body is glad that lhls disturbing element has been removed, It has influenced, to q greater or less ex> tent, every measure of importance that has come up, and has hampered and handicap rcd good legislation all through ihe session The YaYa-
