The Santa Maria Bridge.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, June 3.-Two
spans Of the great iron bridge being placed
by the Southern Pacific Company over the
Santa Maria River, near Guadalupe, are
already in place and the work is progress
ing beyond the original calculations. The
date of completion of the structure is now
set for not later than July 1. At the mouth
of the Santa Ynez River 600, 900 bricks will
be used for the construction of pier The
greatest difficulty encountered by the
builders so far is the lack of gravel and the
distance to good stone quarries. There is
talk of using the gravel deposit on the
Sloan ranch in San Pascual CANYON.
Should this be done road would at once
be built to the canyon, and this would
give Lompoc railroad connection with the
main line months ahead of the anticipated
time.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, June 3.-General
Barrett passed the day at Mare Island and
vicinity. After perfecting all necessary
arrangements for receiving the United
States ship Olympia, which has been placed
at the disposal of the naval battalion of
the National Guard by the authorities at
Washington for the purpose of joining in
the coming fiesta at Santa Cruz, the gem
eral procured carriage and was driven to
the proposed camping ground of the COM
panies of the National Guard of the Third
Brigade, situated near Vallejo, where he
made thorough inspection and offered
such suggestions as he deemed would con-
tribute to the comfort and efficient discip-
line of the men during their annual out
ing campaign. It is the intention of Gen
eral Barrett to visit all the various en-
campments of the guard throughout the
State, if time can possibly be spared from
his Office duties.
The steamer Olympia will probably
leave Mare Island navy yard on Saturday
next, and will drop down to San Francisco,
where the naval battalion will embark and
leave the following day for Santa Cruz,
where she will remain for at least six
days, affording every opportunity during
that period for exhaustive drill and prac-
tice in the handling of the great guns by
the members of the naval battalion. A
large percentage of the regular crew will
no doubt be retained on board to ensure
the vessel being handled properly, and to
assist in the practice of the guns. They
will also assist in the course of instruction,
but a sufficient number of the crew will be
drafted into shore quarters to provide
room and sleeping quarters for the bat
talon.

Accommodating for Twelve
Years Past.

List Of Counties and Charitable In
Stitutions That Will Be
Benefited.

SACRAMENTO, Call, June 3.-For the
past twelve years a series of demands
have been accumulating in the hands of
the Board of Examiners from the various
counties throughout the State, being for
money expended in the care of the aged,
INDECENT and orphans. Taken in entirety,
they amount to over 100000
The act creating the power of counties
making these demands upon the State
having been repealed, making it an mpos-
sibility for further drains of the treasury
of a like nature, and in view of the fact
that in many counties the county funds
for this purpose are exhausted and inno-
cent deserving persons are actually in need
and in danger OF suffering, the members of
the Board of Examiners decided to take
instant action in the matter and sign the
demand.
This was not done, however, until they
had been submitted to the most rigid ex-
animation and in many cases curtailed to
a considerable extent, and in one case, that
of a claim from Modoc County for the sup
port of six orphans, the demand was
denied altogether on the ground that the
children had not Teen supported by said
| county for one yer previous to making
the demand for State assistance, as called
for in the requirements of the act itself
The claims allowed the various counties
and charitable institutions are as follows:
