aguaedeinte was too good to keep and
when the balance of the party heard
of 1t Mr.. Williams and his friends had
to stand treat. AS they had to leave
here at q. m. Saturday morning for
Saltillo they did not have time to visit
the Parrot ranch, that We made men,

terpreter to take with them.
FROM GULF TO PACIFIC.
Last Friday morning Col. ]. A..
Robertson, the general manager Of
the Monterey and Mexican Gulf rail-
way, arrived from New York, where
he had been called on business con-
nected with the extension of the Gulf
road from Trevino to the Sierra Mo-
jads. Saturday evening we called on
him. He informed US that in very
few days they would commence to
and would not stop work until they
reached the Pacific Ocean. He re-.
ceived telegram that morning from
New York, instructing him to set the
engineers to work, but as he was
going to start for the City of Mexico
that night, he would not commence
work until he returned. He instruct
ed the contractors to move their out
fits to Trevino. 80 as to be ready to go
to work when the engineers had the
ground staked out tor them.
Edmond has every reason to believe
that when the road lie completed to
the Pacific that they will change the
name of the road to that of the Gulf,
Monterey and Pacific.
