AQainSt Consumption


 The citizens of Redlands were re- gently greatly stirred up over a propo- sition to establish d sanitarium for con sumptives. The opposition was so strong that the project was abandoned. And in order to guard against such dangers in the future the City Trustees have enacted the following ordinance:
 ''The establishment or maintenance within the limits of the city of Red lands of hospital, sanitarium or place for the reception or treatment of tuber- culosis or other contagious or infectious disease, except by municipal authority clared misdemeanor.
 Every violation of the provision of the preceding section shall be punish able by fine not exceeding $500, or by Imprisonment in jail for term not exceeding three months, or both such fine and Imprisonment"
 This seems like pretty drastic treat ment and we believe Redlands is the HISl SltN III SdllIoIHid to pass SUCu dh ordinance. But we should not be sur prsed to see similar action taken by other towns.
 As matter of fact of the presence of any large number of consumptives in any town is serious menace to the public health. A town is no place for them anyway; they ought to go out in the desert country or to the noun tains, where the pure, dry air of South ern California can do its healing work to better advantage. And so far as possible they ought to live out of doors.
 A sanitarium for consumptives is all right in trawberry valley, and there 1t ought to be separated from the ordi- nary summer camp. But no such insti- tuition ought to be permitted in a town. We must allow people to care for their friends at home, but Redands is right in shutting the door on any institution that proposes to gather body of con sumptives right in the residence part of the city The right of self-protection justties this policy.-Riverside Press.

ELECTRIC OPPORTUNITIES
 IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
ONE GREAT POSSIBILITY WHICH RAILROAD MEN
 CANNOT AFFORD TO OVERLOOK


 generated by the waters of the Santa Ana and San Gabriel rivers, but in the projected works on Kern river for developing 50,000 horsepower. These three rivers can thus be made to furn- ish the propulsive energy for operat- ing very important series of roads gridironing Southern California.
 Knowing something of what is being done in other parts of Southern Cali fornia. it is at least inter esting to note what could and may be done in this section of the country.
 Speaking of local electric roads, all of the traditions of Southern Califor- known as desert, but it is not i'm probable that Mir. Huntington knows something of what is being done in this region. Mir. Muir, who recently inspected this country for the South ern Pacific Company, is now in the employ of the Huntington roads in a
 
 said that when person knows what has been done in Salt River valley it is easy to understand what is being done here. Mir. Muir, and, through him, MT. Huntington must realize that the foundation is being laid here for d great country with a dense population. l,11, 1,l I,ot brief time road can lead from Indio to within twenty miles of Yuma through land every foot of which is under cultivation, for the Indio and Imperial irrigation projects will yet come in close touch.
 The Huntington lines will soon be running as far east as Redands, above which lies Yucaipe valley, only need ing a railroad to become seat of dense population. This valley opens out into San Gorgonio pass, where Banning has for years occupied the position of guardian of the frontier, with the thickly populated valleys to the west and the barren and desolate desert to the east.
 But the last two years have made great change. It is but forty miles from Banning to Indio, and while that stretch of country will proba bly, be desert for several years longer, Indio is no sooner reached than there is the be ginning of country makiuu great CT strides than any other portion of California, and which will present d length of a hundred miles of compact farming country from Indio, through Imperial, to within twenty miles of Yuma. Possibly this is not known to Mir. Huntington and other railroad men, for it is but two years since this land, now having three or four thous- and people, was not only uninha bted, but was uninhabitable.
 The day is near at hand when from Yuma to Los Angeles, a distance of about 250 miles, there will be belt of densely populated country with but two breaks east of Banning in the otherwise continuous farming land, one of twenty miles and another of forty miles. In other words, the un- settled portions of the country between Yuma and Banning will scarcely be a greater proportion of the country to be traversed than that on either rail

llO1S WHICH ildNN al "ANNA 'A'A canoe than is generally recognized. There are three factors in the contest: The Clark Salt Lake road and Clark Hook Los Angeles Traction Company as allies, the various Huntington-HeH- man electric roads, as the party of the second part aud the Hartman interests, including the Southern Pa ci6c, and probably, by inference, the latter having the moral" support of the Santa Fe.
 The first and second parties are contestants for certain electric road franchises. The third party finds its natural place as a protestant and ob- iector, for there can be no reasonable doubt that the electric roads are to degree undermining the steam roads in business and are standing menace of still further predatory activity.
 The steam railroad has reached about it's maximum of economy in maintenance for the transportation of given number of passengers and amount of commodities. The electric road is in it's infancy, yet having dem onstrated it's ability 10 handle passen- gers with sufficient speed at great saving over the cost of steam equip ment, while the problem of transport ing freight by electricity seems every day to be nearing solution.
 The editor of the Press in another paper some months since raised the question whether H. E. Huntington is not seeking to duplicate on electric lines the work of his famous uncle, Collis P. Huntington, in steam rail- roads, and the movements which have been made during the last few months are certainly such as MT. Huntington might be expected to make if such were his purpose.
 It requires no great imaginative power to believe the electric road to be the road of the future. 1t is certain that if electricity is to be used as a motive power by d transcontinental railroad, there are great advantages to be gained by building that road through the southern portion of the country, where there will be no snow and ice to contend with and where running streams can be relied on to furnish all the power needed to propel the trains.
 Mir. Huntington is one of the shrewd- est of American railroad men, and he can be suspected of knowing a good deal about electrical railroads and having broader plans than he reveals to the public, There was some reason why he withdrew from the Southern Pacific and the Market street railroads of San Francisco to make his home in Los Angeles and devote his superb constructive energy to electric roads in Southern California. The change was undoubtedly not made to engage in a smaller, but in greater venture than San Francisco and the bay coun- ties afforded.
 Whether an electric road will ever be built across the continent, the cleo tric lines radiating from Los Angeles through all sections of Southern Cali fornia will undoubtedly be valuable feeders for a transcontinental line, and it was undoubtedly for that reason

CAsTELLANE EXPELLED.

Count de Castellane replied, chasing
the charges az false, He said he had
been accused Of buying the election
and practlcing charity for election pur-
