NEW PEN PLANS.

Architects have submitted to the board of conrroi TWO plans for the new territorial prison at Florence. but neither of these plans have as yet been adopted by the board. Other plans will be submitted and the board will select from the lot the best plan.
 Governor Kibbey stated in recent interview that the board would prob ably decide to construct the prison buildings of reinforced concrete. This material is becoming very popular with architects and engineers as 1t has stood better against fire and learthquake than any other material used in modern construction. Walls constructed of it have greater strength and endurance than ttose constructed | of brick or nature stone.
 Active work will not be commenced lon the prison before December l. as the appropriation for the construction work was mode from the territorial
 eeDerai fund and the money will mol
 be in that fund until the taxes for thi: year shall have been received.

Southern Pacific Branch oeIayed,

Work on the Southern Pacific branch line from Calexico, California. to Yuma is being delayed because of the shortage in rails, but it is expect ed to have the line built through to the main line by September. This road is an extension of the present branch line running from Imperial junction on the Salton sea to Calex- lico. From there it is being extended through Lower California and will follow the sand hills through the Mexican territory to the main line at Pilot Knob, California, short dis. ..alee west 9f tuma. -rr..
 Because of the international charac- ter of the line it will be necessary For all trains to carry guards, but as there are no towns below the international line the officials expect little trouble from this source.
