Soars, of the U. S. Engineer Corps, arrived yesterday, and will have a general supervision of the work as it is done by the contractor." The Moonly Voice perpetrates a fearful joke upon some hapless editor. It says: "Some western editor sooms to be growing vain of his personal appearance. Twice recently he has sent us his portrait, pencilled on the back of a newspaper wrapper. The face somewhat resembles that of a horse, but the ears are longer." The Ventura Signal pays us the compliment of reprinting entire our editorial entitled "Can a Man Live on Climate." The Los Angeles Star also copies the article on "Material Progress."

School Items—As will be seen elsewhere, the residents of Bolso Grande school district are preparing to build a school house for their district. One is also to be erected at Gallatin to cost $2,000.

Obstructing Sidewalks—Our attention has been called to a nuisance which has long existed among us, viz., the practice of tying horses on the sidewalks so that the horse shall take up the whole walk and oblige foot passengers to go into the street around him. The proper authorities should remedy the evil. New Stable—Geo. R Butler has just completed a fine new brick stable on Main st opposite Arcadia st. Los Angeles, and named it the "Fashion" Stable. The new establishment is centrally located and convenient for the travelling public. A proposition for annexing the Territory of Utah to the State of Nevada, is being seriously considered. The new state would be about as large as California. Utah has 100,000 Mormons and 20,000 Gentiles, while Nevada has 60,000 Gentiles, so that combined the Mormons would still be in the majority by 20,000.

The Victorian League We have received the circular of the Victoria League," an institution declaring its mission to be the organisation of The Royal Rights Party," and the election as next President of Mrs. Victoria G.

The owners of the steamer William Terry announce that he soon as one tenative repairs she is now undergoing are completed, she will resume trips as opposition to San Diego. It is stated that the Central Pacific company have purchased the railroad from Folsom to Shingle Springs for $164,000 and will at once extend it to Placerville. The Los Angeles Express says that the completion of the Solodad Turnpike cannot save the Owens River trade to that city; that they must have railroad communication with the mines, and adds, "The railroad must be extended or the prosperity of our city is gone forever."
