PRETTY HEALDSBURG.
A Locality Where There Is the
"Climate Of Climates"

Editor of the Sunday Call: With all
the advantages nature has so lavishly
bestowed upon Headsburg, our lovely
little town is singularly free from the many
drawbacks that beset other localities. We
have no extremes oftemperature. We never
have had very cold weather, and the Their
mometer seldom shows the heat to be more
than 1000 during the hottest days of the sum-
mer, and we have no extended periods Of
very warm weather.
''The glorious climate of climates" an ex-
preston that has become almost national
one, is to be found right here in Sonoma
County. As an enthusiast recently re-
marked, rather irreverently. it must be con-
fessed: why hunt for the Garden of Eden
in Palestine. when We have it right here in
this valley of flowers"
Then again, we never have shot nights"
There may be during the summer few
nights when blanket is unnecessary, but
light bed covering is always needed. We
hear with surprise of places not very many
days travel from here where the people are
almost obliged to sleep out of door in tents
or under trees in their gardens, finding the
air IN the house so oppresSively warm as to
prevent their gaining the rest and sleep they
need. 1t is never so here, and l speak with
the experience OF many, many years as a
resident of HealdSburg. We have the ad-
vantage of that most refreshing and ever
welcome coast breeze, the gentle zephyrs
from tie west Another most important
fact that should De mentioned in this con-
nection is that we have no malaria in
Healdsburg; chills and fever are unknown,
excepting to those unfortunates who come
from less favored localities to regain their
health. We have no epidemic.
We have fine churches. We have first
class schools. We have the best of society.
We have delightful drives in every direc-
ton. We have line picnic grounds and
good trout-llshlng near at hand. We have
well-stocked stores and honest merchants.
We nave experienced and learned physi-
clans. We have the best hotels in the in
terror of the State. And to speak of minor
advantages, we have no mosquitoes. There
Is not mOsqulto-nettlng spread anywhere
in Healdsburg. BY the way, this is no in
significant fact, as any one will testify who
has endured sleepleSs nights in consequence
Of these little pestss Then again, we have
no flies-that is, they are not indigenous
Occasionally, after visit of friends from
the metropolis, we note their presence.
In addition to all this, we raise the finest
fruit and vegetables in California. In fact,
we are blessed with good crops of every
thing the tiller of the soil undertakes to
raise.
The death is announced of Miss Sarah
Jane Walton. siSter-in-law OF the Rev.
James Huline, the Episcopal minister, who
died at the home Of Rev. and Mrs. James
Hullne last Thursday night. The funeral
services will be held at Guild Hall next

many friends during her short stay among
us, and her Sorrowing relatives have the
heartfelt sympathy of all in their sad
bereavement.
