News Notes.

I REpLANDs, Jan. 22.-The physicians OF this
city are uniting with the board of health in
an effort to prevent the spreading of tubercu-
I loss. The mild and dry climate of Redlands
has made it a Mecca for consumptives, who
in past seasons have sat around hotels and
steps of public buildings and expectorated the
germs of disease in a manner quite in conflict
with proper sanitary regulations. The matter
was brought up before the board of trustees
who authorized the secretary of the board oil
health, DR.. Wheat, to call meeting OF phys
leans for consultation. He did so, and a meet
ing was held two weeks ago, attended by five
or six OF the leading medical prac.ition ers in
the city.
Nothing definite has yet been done, further
than to correspond with boards of health in
other cities, to learn what regulations they
have adopted in such matters. The secretary
OF the state board OF health writes that pam
phlet devoted to this subject is now in prepar-
alton by that body, which will be distributed
freely as soon as published.
The physicians consider it difficult matter
to regulate, but mold that something can and
should be DONE
There are not so many invalids here this
season as there were last year, but the board
OF health is determined to keep the city in as
thorough sanitary condition us possible
hence the above action.
WORK OF THE RAIN.
The recent flood, which worked such destruc-
ton along the zanja below the storm water
ditch, performed one mysterious act in its mad
course. The sewer pipe which drains the sew
age down State street, crosses the zanja at
First street, where it was buried 10 feet below
the top of the manhole. The bed of the stream
is not more than.5 feet below the manhole yet
this 20-inch pipe was torn up and broken into
several pieces. The sewage is now backing up
in the pipes along State ana Orange street, but
the street superintendent has IL large force of
men at work, and the damage will be speedily
repaired.
ORANGE GROWERS HAPPY.
Orange growers are now jubilant. The fruit
was not SO ripe as to be injured by the rains,
and the warm sunshine which followed has
brought out the color beautifully. The fruit
that fell from the trees during the storm was
that portion which was cracked and would
have been culled anyway when taken to the
packing house. In no seoson has the quality
OF the fruit been better than this, and the
packers-at least Earl and the association
have all the orders they can fill at the estab-
lished rate OF 50 so for navels and So for seed
lings, f. o. b.
NOTES.
Justice Camp sent one vag up for seven days
yesterday. Justice Baker did the same, and
tramped here from Riverside and was caught
helping himself to oranges on the ranch of
DR. Watrous.
Horses are cheap at Rellands now-at least
some of inferior quality. Two were sold at the
city pound yesterday for So.
U. B. Dixie, who had his right leg broken Sat
urday night while practicing in the Y. NJ. c. A.
gymnasium, is doing as nicely as possible un-
der the painful circumstances. The limb was
set by Dr.. Sydney Yale Wynne, recent addi-
ton to the medical fraternity from Bos on.
