The Arkansas Valley as Sanita-
rum for Consumptives.

The value of the climate OF the Arkan-
sas valley for the cure of consumption
and kindred diseases has been fully prov
en-. There are hundred of citizens now
living here who came to Colorado with
but slight hopes Of living beyond few
months, who are now among our most
hearty, energetic and hard-working poo
pie. Having climate Of such priceless
value to the afflicted the spread of infor-
nation regarding it is in the nature of a
benevolent duty. 1t is on this line of
love for humanity that the American In
valid Aid Society has been organized in
Boston. DIR. W. p. Roberts, himself
and motive power. DIR. Roberts made
Rocky Ford brief call on Friday last
and had conference with number of
citizens regarding the work of the society
and its relation to the Arkansas valley.
The plans OF the Society are ambitious
and lack only money to be in shape to
confer untold benefits on the consump-
tiyes of the eastern states, many thous-
ands of whom die annually. At present
the Society's lack of funds limits its op-
erations to that OF bureau of informa-
ton, telling all inquiring invalids the To-
calities where their especial trouble will
most likely find the readiest relief. DIR.
Roberts extensive travels over the west
for the purpose of collecting information
for this purpose, enables the Society to
give invalids reliable information not
elsewhere obtainable.
One mission of DIR. Roberts on the PRE-
sent trip through the west is to secure
photographs for use in a stereopticon leo
ture. These lectures he would give free
throughout the eastern states, illustrated
with views of those portions of the west
which he would recommend comsump-
tive to emigrate to. During a drive
through the country around Rocky Ford
Friday afternoon DR.. Roberts was most
fayorably impressed with the advantages
which this locality offers for utilization
in his benevolent plans. Our strong
point is that after the invalid has go far
recovered as to be able to work he can
secure small tract of rich land on which
he can make living. As soon as the
funds of the Society will allow pa
tients unable to pay their way west will
be loaned money to buy tickets, and a
temporary home prepared for their re-
ception when they arrive. When par
tally recovered work will be given them
on the Society's farm and fruit lands,
which they hope to acquire by gift and
purchase.
It would be good investment of mon.
ey for Rocky Ford to contribute small
sum monthly to help support DIR. Rob-
erts' free lectures, furnishing him a
number of photographs of our farm,
garden and orchard products and our
cultivated landscapes for exhibition in
the stereopticon. These pictures togeth-
or with facts regarding what our climate
has done for hundreds OF invalids, would
attract many health-seekers to our midst,
men who on recovery would become cit
izens and add to the valleys growth and
prosperity.
