The Colorado desert has forever dis appeared from geography and history so far as the recent editorial excursion party is concerned. In order to make good'' desert must have sand and so- litude and dreaminess, with neither past, present, nor. future. The great stretch of land, lying between this point and Yuma, distance of about 70 miles, and extending to the base of the mountains which fringe the valley 40 miles to the west, has few of these characteristics. From Flowing Wells to Yuma, along the track of the South ern Pacific railroad, there is a stretch of desolation and sand which deserves the name of being desert, but at a distance of from three to ten miles west of the railrod the character of the country changes as abruptly: .asi it does between fertile Covina and the San Ga briel river wash. The railroad follows the real desert into Yuma because that was the only possible grade by which it could cross the Colorado river with out going over the boundary line into Mexico.
 The following morning the visiting editors were taken in stages from Inn peria1 down across the country to Ca meron lake. The afternoon drive car ried the party westward to Blue lake, along the old Los Angeles and Yuma stage road, pass the ruins of Indian Springs, where many samples of old pottery were found, across the bed of New river again, making a complete circle of the lake, which is about a mile across, raising many ducks, geese stork and other birds. We were taken across interminable miles of exceed ingly fine land, a light chocolate in color, carrying a slight adn1ixture of clay, friable, easy to work under the blow, and undou Btedly of extraordin- ary fertility.
 Over the boundary in Mexico the CO., mpany owns 100, 900 acres of fine land, recently purchased from Guillermo Andyade, Mexican consul at Los An geles, and this will be placed under water next year. Cameron lake can be made an ideal spot for hunting and fishing, as it is full of fish and thou sands of ducks, geese and other wild

Details of Plan Adopted by the
 Citizens
Col. Ferguson and Mr. Holt Will Be Here Tomorrow and Active Ef-
 fort Will be Made

fort Will be Made
 The San Diegan-Sun dated Monday, 24th, say concerning the railroad pro- position:
 Col. S. w. Ferguson, who is now at Santa Ana, was expected i2ere today, but letter from him says he has been delayed by an accident which occurred Satu rday, and in which Mrs. Fergus son was somewhat injured by being thrown from tal1y-ho while driving down a mountain road. Her escape from very serious injury was almost miraculous. The colonel writes that he will be here tomorrow and will be accompanied by w. F. Holt of Imper- ial, another member of the San Diego Eastern railway executive committee.
 MT. Holt comes all the way from Inn peria1 to take up his share of the work
 
 understood he will remain a week, and longer if necessary. MT. Holt will be strong member of that committee, as he has had ample business experience. He was for years engaged in banking in Arizona, having organized and es- tablished successful banks at both Safford and Globe. He came to Impe- rial when the proposition began to de- velop there, and at once saw the busi- ness opportunities which would certain ly follow. He bought out and immed- lately enlarged the general store, put up several new buildings, aided in es- tablishing the Imperial Press, the first newspaper in the Colorado delta re- zion, built 40 miles of telephone from Flowing Wells to Imperial and Gamer on lake, is the chief promoter of the first church, and at his own expense has employed an able minister, Rev. John c. Hay, formerly of Pueblo, Col, and has personally paid the ministers salary two years in advance. MT. Holt proposes to engage in the banking business, at Imperial as soon as ar engagements to that end can be perfec- ted. He is quiet, unassuming man, but has faculty for seeing into the future little further than the average citizen, and habit of performing rath- CT than promising. He will be found strong member of the committee, and can be counted on to hold up the Imperial end of the proposition.
 Both MT. Ferguson and MT. Holt, and in fact all the members of the railway committee are now rapidly ar ranging their personal business so that they can give practically their en- tire time to the railway business from now on, or at least after the Fourth of July holiday.
 Besides securing a complete survey, the committee will ask for terminal facilities and franchises in this city, and rights of way through the conn., try and for subscriptions all along the line.

ORGANIZED FOR WORK
New Railroad Committee Selects
 ChaIrmsa aRt Secretary

 pesial to Attend Meetings
 There was a general feeling of satis- faction expressed throughout the city yesterday, says the San Diego Union dated last Friday, when the action of the railroad meeting of the proceeding afternoon became known and there was the general comment on the sub iect that the people were getting down to business in way that would result in something. Everybody hopes that it will result in the speedy formation of a corporation to accomplish some thing.
 The meetings of the committee ap- pointed to take charge of and go for ward with the work of organization of a corporation at the proper time and ill the proper manner, will be watched with interest, though it is probable that in the nature of the work mapped out for the committee to perform, the meetings will not always be public, and the action taken will not always he made known until results have been accomplished.
 The first meeting of the committee was held yesterday morning. It had been called for the chamber of com- merce rooms, but because of an acci- dent to MT. Marston in the early morn ing, he changed the call so that the members gathered at his home on Third and Ash streets. All the members of the committee were present except MT. Grant, who is still in New York, and MT. Holt, who is at his home in Imperial.
 MT. Marston was elected chairman of the committee which it was decided to call "The San Diego-Eastern Rail road Committee," and l.. l.. Boone was named as secretary. The position of manager was not filled, as the nlem- bers of the committee did not think that the time was quite ripe for so thoroughly organizing. There is but little doubt, however, that when the time comes for such action, MT. Fer gusson will be selected as manager to take active charge of the work and de- vote his attention to 1t under the di- rection of the committee.
 Other meetings of the committee will be held early next week. MT. Grant, who was named as a member of the committee has been away from San Diego for some time in New York, but it is understood that he will return home in the course of few weeks and will take active part with the commit tee in it's work. w. F. Holt, the other absent member of the committee, has not had time to reach San Diego from Imperial since he was named as a member, but it is understood that he will be able to leave his business there to attend all of the important meetings of the committee, which will probably all be held in San Diego.
