There are only a few gilded domes in this country. One of the first in the United States was erected on the state house at Boston, and one of the most notable is that on the new con- gressional library at Washing ton. Chicago is soon to have the most unique and probably the most beautiful on the new federal postofice building. In this case the dome will be ot glass with gold leaf on the in side, thus securing the effect ot a great mirror with a golden backing. The surface will be smooth and glistening, the rains will wash it clean, and the gold will be protected from dirt and weather.

Another Railroad Through I'm.
 periaI.

pSEidI.
 Wm. H. Carlson, eX-mayor of San Diego, is sanguine that the railroad from San Diego to Yuma, being promoted by him, will surely be built. The Los Angeles Express publishes the following as a result of an inter view:
 w. H. Carlscn, ex-mayor of San Diego, is in the city in the interest of his long-loved project of railroad line from San Diego to Yuma. This, time, he says, the scheme is bound to go through.
 "Wealthy bankers of New York who have confidence in me are willing to advance the money required to build the road and to run the chances of selling out to one of the great transcontinental companies after the connection is complete" says MT. Carlson. "The Imperial colony is helping the proposition along. for it is apparent that the development of the vast holdings of that cor poration will be productive of freight that will give earning capacity to the road.
 'EThe road is to be 175 miles in length. It will cost S3, 500,00C and the money is available for the work. Construction will be- gin at Yuma and proceed west ward by way of the Imperial colony lands. I have retained my franchises from the Mexican government and terminal facili. ties at San Diego await our use. The great irrigation enterprise at Imperial is a success. The territory occupied by the colony will make railroading profitable through what was once the great Colorado desert. With harbOl facilities at the western terminus and direct eastern connections the ultimate purchase of Oul property for incorporation witf some large railway system headed toward the Pacific coasr is a matter only of a few years.
 Mir. Carlson went from Sar Diego to Washington severa years ago. When the war witl Spain was ended he was ap pointed railway commissiOnel for the government in Cuba. II that capacity he formed a wide acquaintance with moneyed mel and with those who are lookins for favorable openings for rail way building in this country His personal energy and th' merit of his pet project wol their hearts, and it is believed that he is not er-sanguine il thinking that the road will b. built.

AWFULLY CRUEL.

The Imperial Press, ill a rude, ribald, sarcastic manner, pokes fun at the alleged government experts who have been "inveSti- gating" and condemning the lands of the Colorado desert. There was one particular lOca- tion which these experts declared solemnly and positively would grow nothing-it would be use less to plant anything upon it. Yet some one, without the fear of the expert before his eyes, plowed that land, planted it with barley; and now comes the Press with a handsome photograph showing a heavy growth of grain thereon, knee high on the 10th of February, on the identical soil that the experts condemned as being as barren as the north pole. Beyond the cold state ment of fact the Press makes nc comment. Butit is awfully cruel of that paper to do such things. Alameda Encinal.

was able to participate heartily in all

honor of his seventy-first birthday. 1t
is to be noted also as the anniversary
of the marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. Otto

memorial of the day a family photo
