The ''Home Rule" cry is not prov. ing very effective in Arizona; the In sane Asylum commissioners have ap- pointed physician from San Fran cisco superintendent of the asylum. The appointee, Dr. Titus, may be a very competent man, but it looks rather strange that the board could not find physician in the Territory of Arizona just as well fitted for the position as their California doctor.

The San Diego snd Yuma Railroad.

That the railroad between San Diego and Yuma will be built, is an assured fact The necessary money has already been raised and rails for twenty miles of track have been purchased and are now in San Diego, with large car, goes of steel en route to that place. The road will go from San Diego to San Rafael Mexico and from there will run direct to Yuma; from this place the plans have not been made public, but it is thought line will be run on north side of the Gila valley to Hol- brook.
 The new road will open tip a very rich and desirable agricultural country and as fast as the rails are laid the land will be taken up and purchased.
 The advent of the new railroad here will be of the greatest value to Yuma, and the little city at the junction of the limpid Gila and muddy Colorado will soon become one of theslargest cities on the Pacific coast,
 It is only question ot time when the road will reach here and from the authoritative reports already published there is good reason to believe that by the month uS October the new railroad will be well under way.

shape like shovels. others resemble u

delicate and dimnutive.
