CALEXICO-YUMA RAILROAD.

More than mile of track has been laid on the extension of the Imperial and Gulf road below the line in Mexico and steady progress is being made reaching out toward Yuma.
 On account of the heat it is found difficult to lay the steel rails, and in doing so tongS with wooden handles have been brought into use. The steel is itself too hot to handle.
 In spite of this equipment there is difficulty in holding men for the work, and the progress be- ing made is not so great as was hoped for. It is believed, how ever, that the road will be com pleted through to Pilot Knob in short order.
 Through train service from Yuma to Los Angeles via Impe- rial may become a reality by Oc- tober 1. and it will be of great value in building up this valley. Imperial Standard.

Cards of Thanks.

The day is not far distant when "cards of thanks" will be a thing of the past. When death enters d home neighbors never fail to do all in their power to place a silver lining back of the dark cloud, and they do not expect or desire any thanks through the public press. One subscriber, however, not to be outdone, sent in the following;
 "Mr. Editor: I desire to thank the friends and neighbors most heartily in this manner for their cooperation during the illness and death of my late husband, who escaped from me by the hand of death on last Friday while eating breakfast. To my friends and all who contributed so willingly toward making the last moments and the funeral d success, 1 desire to remember most kindly, hoping these lines will find them enjoying the same blessing. Yours for health.
