CONCERNING SUNSTROKf

Public attention is now centered up- on the appalling results of sunstroke in the East. The number of prostra- tions within the last few days has been unprecedented, and the percent age of mortality has been exceptional ly high. The reports published in the Herald show that the melting cause of sunstroke, intense heat, has lately prevailed over the greater part of the United States. It is chiefly from the larger cities, however, that we learn of the fatalities. Taking the reports at hand as criterion, and considering that similar conditions have prevailed in smaller cities, towns and the coun- try districts as we'll, it Is obvious that only a fraction of the fatalities from sunstroke have been generally report ed.
 The nature of sunstroke is not fully understood in sections where its visi- tation is either rare or entirely un- tirely unknown. The name is really misnomer, calculated to mislead per sons who are unfamiliar with it's man. ifestations. The idea that it is neces- sarily caused by direct contact with in- tensely hot sun rays is an error. While prostration does often result from such contact, it is a we'll estab- lished fact that in most cases of sun stroke the suns rays do not reach the victim. In India, where sunstroke is very common, particularly in the British army, the subject has for many years been closely studied. It is stated by recognized authority that ''the actual attack, in the various cases de- scribed by the Indian surgeons and physicians, came on generally when during the day, but in several cases during the night" Sometimes a sol dier would be apparently asleep, when the attention of his comrades would be directed to his heavy breathing, and on attempting to arouse him, he was found to be inseHsible.
 It is shown by study of sunstroke in our Eastern cities that all persons are not equally susceptible to it. A debil- itated system or previous disease pre- disposes person to sunstroke, and in- temperate habits are said to make a subject most vulnerable. The condi- tion that leads to sunstroke is, primar- ily, intense heat. Vitiated or confined atmosphere adds to the danger. More fatalities from it occur in ill-ventilated tenements, workshops and the like than under the direct rays of the sun. Los Angeles Herald.

SAN DIt6O-YUMA RAILROAD

Says the Arizona Sentinel: The citizens of San Diego are alive to the importance of a railroad to this city and are up and doing. A mass meet ing was held in that city the other day and an executive committee composed of leading citizens was appointed to make surveys, acquire franchises, right-of-way, etc, and to obtain sub scriptions for the construction of a a railroad from San Diego to the Col orado river and ultimately to penetrate Southern Arizona.

 Rcnay Grevel has more than d hundred acres of feed stuffs that is hard to equal. w. A. Van Horn, Mir. Meadows and others have from fifty to one hundred acres each, all of which is very fine.
 Mir. Beach and others stated that they would continue to plant seed until the 18th of August, and thought that fifteen hundred acres would be q small estimate of the acreage that would be planted whereabouts this season.
 r. Barnes, who is opening the general store of Hunt X Barnes, stated that four days after melon seeds were planted they had creaped through the dirt and in six more days they had grown four leaves each. He also has large amount of garden truck that is doing remarkably we'll.
 At the Eastside camp there is d considerable amount of melons and garden truck. The survey ors from that camp gave flatter- ing reports of the way stuff grows there, stating that melons were up 213 days after planting.
 C. K. Redwood is having some adobe buildings erected at Cameron for the California De- ment company's offices. One building is completed and is a handsome structure. The walls of another are up, and it will five rooms. The adobe vii! make the most comfortable and durable houses for this couu- try and will doubtless be used very extensively throughout the valley.

Tt has been said with poetic sentiment that the man who causes two blades of grass to grow where but one grew before is q bcnefactor to his kind. He is greater in the universe than the warrier or the solon, and his works live after him, even until the end of time" If all this is true of the man who simply causes two blades of grass to grow instead of one, we will cer- tainly need invent new words of cncomium for men who make tons of sorghum and millct grow where not even one blade of grass grew before, as IS now being done in that part of the country about Cameron.
 On the trip to and from the Fourth of July celebration last week, which was at Salton gate, the point where water is turned from the Salton channel into the main and lateral canals, we were afforded the first opportunity of seeing the remarkable progress being made by those people iu agricultural lines, as well as what is being done otherwise i'll that section.
 During the present summer season there will be, at the least, fifteen hundred acres of ground in that region planted to all kinds of feed stuffs, notwithstand- ing water for irrigation purposes was not available until the latter part of June. More than five hundred acres have already been seeded with most encouraging results, the crops having come up and are growing with astonishing rapidity.
 Thos. Beach has two hundred acres of sorghum growing, and half that amount of millet, and one would have a hard time in

SURVEY or THE ROUTE
 BY WAY or CAMPO
It Is Wanted For Comparison on The
 Repoet of Mr. Ward

l " HHlHHeu tue survey OI tHc wagon road from San Diego to this place by way of Julian, and reported favorably on same. Through the columns of the San Diego Union, under date of July 5, Mir. W. P. Foster invites Mir. Ward to survey the Campo route and report on same, in the following words:
 In an article in the Union of the lst Mir. Ward, our county surveyor, is rep resented as stating that the desert road via Julian is feasible" and ''can be built for S10,OOO, although it will be impossible to avoid all the sand" Mir Ward does not even mention that he has not been over another road or state any comparisons as to feasibility or amount of sand or cost of construction. Mir. Ward says he could not get within 25 miles of Imperial OH account of the overflow. Now, by way of Campo and Jacumba road, it is possible at the present to reach Laguna, about eight miles southwest of Imperial. A bridge built across New River at, or near, this point. would enable the traveller to reach the town of Imperial at all sea sons of the year. The road from San Diego to Mountain Springs, distance of S3 miles, is as good as any mountain road in San Diego county. From there are about four miles of grade in fair condition through recent expenditures by the county, but which can be i'm proved. Next come nine miles of san dy road to Coyote Wells. This ob- stacle," as Mir. Ward says regarding the Julian road, must be overcome by oiling the road, which will make it all most as hard as if it were paved.' A mile or two south of this road will be erected the oil drill of Mir. Hillman, which, at present, furnishes oil in quantity and quality exactly the same as found on the Julian road. From Coyote to Laguna, To miles, the road is over d sandy gravel most of the way, on which very little work will make a good road. From there to Imperial the road is the same either way, and the bridge across New river must be be constructed. The road via Campo and Jacumba will have at least l2 to Is miles less sandy road to be "oiled, :" and this might prove a disadvantage to companies interested.
 Mir. Ward has made a survey of the Julian road to Imperial, accompanied by Supervisor Jasper of Julian, Fred Shaw, the road master of that district, and two influential citizens of the county. of course the road is feasible "a straight road from the court house to Coronado is feasible, but is it the best one for the county to make? Now, let Mir. Ward take Mir. Grigsby, the Campo road master, and one resident who knows that country-Mr. Jasper had better go along-and put in four or five days only, on the road between Jacumba and Imperial and then make an exact report of the two routes. Mir. Wards report will be reliable no mat ter who goes with him, but he must go over all the roads to report on all of them.
 The county needs the two roads-the Julian road to accommodate the Los

A STRENGT HENER
VinOl Promptly overcomes
Weakness.
DEBILITY OFTEN PRECEDES
COMPLETE COLLAPSE.
We Want Every One to Know
How to Get Strong.
OUR WN0L IS A STRENGTH
CREATOR.

The saddestsight on earthisa broken
down man or woman.
We see such people every day right
here in our city.
1t is pitiful to see a man that should
be in his prime dragging himself
through life detected, discouraged and
broken down, due to some premature
weakness. 1t does not make any diff
ference whether this weakness is the
result of dissipation, indiscreet living
or disease it can be overcome.
We have known of many very serious
cases of debility quickly overcome by
Vinol.
Vinol is a scientific rebuilder and
strength creator. Itcontains the active
curative principles of Cod-Liver Oil in
a highly concentrated form. The
benefit that can be derived from the
use of these properties is so well known
that there is no need for us to enter
into that subject
We could quote many instances where
Vinol has done good; as an example,
here is one coming from Jane S. Fen
fren, prominent member of the w. c.
Z. o., and a resident of Suncook, n. H.
She writes:
~ was run down, was in bed from
May to March. Was so nervous and
sickly that every one thought was in
most precarious condition. My weight
was reduced to 100 pounds. l was ad-
vised to take Vinol, which l did, and
am now very much better, and am able
to be about again. AS a rebuilder and
strength giver nothing can equal it,
Vinol is God-blessing to anybody"
Because VinoI is delicious, and
because it does contain these
much-sought-after medicinal
properties we endorse it, and we
unhesitatingIy proclaim that it is
better than any preparation of
cod-liver oil or tonic rebuilderWe
have ever had in our store.
