patients should be sent to the arid re-
gions so SOON as there is evidence of in
fection from the tabercle bacillus, and
should be made to remain there until
they are we'll, or until it is apparent that
the case is hopeless.
"Many physicians in the east order
patients to California for the winter,
apparently with view OF sending them
to dry clizaate. The relative humidity
in southern California is as great, and
in some instances greater, than that o.
the Atlantic coast, and many of the best
phwsicians IN California regularly send
their tuberGular and asthmatic patients
to Tucson. California is a beautiful
country, bat the fogs wk6eh come In
rom the sea, ana the ezaanat tiOns from
the vast irrigated regions, make it far
inferior te the inland desert regions for
phthisicaI patients. think it may be
assumed as a general rule that wher-
ever there is igrigati<w there is high
degree of relative hslnigssty, and patients
suffering from pulmonary phthisis
should never be sent to aa irrigated dis
trict. Indeed, some of the California
physicians have declared that irrigation
and maAaria go together
"The CITY o+ Tucson has, in my. opin-
ion, ADVANTAGES as a health resort
which San not be eqsslled anywhere in
North America. / know of NO locality
where such a moderate winter climate
and sa2ch low degree of relativechumid.
ity are coraqEsned with the sarna latitude
and altitude. It : NO longer considered
imperative TO send tubercusar patients
to an altitade of 5000 feet, or over. In
fact, clinical experience has proven that
more frequently patients reGuired to be
sent to AN altitude or less, rather than
more than 8, 600 feet. The altitude OF
Tucson is 2, 400 feet, and that seems to
be amply high for all but the most ex-
| ceptional cases. The city is, situated in
a basin near the underground Santa
| Cruz river. 1t is completely walled in
| bv massive mountain ranges. To the
north is the Santa Catalina range; to
| the east, the Rineoa; TO the south, the
| Santa Rita; and ON the west, the Tue
son. Each of these ranges has an alti-
tude of ), 1000 feet at least. Mount Le-
mon. tht highest peak of the Catalinas,
has an elevation of 10,000 feet, and
| Mount Wrightson in the Santa Ritas,
reaches an attitude of nearly II 900
feet.
"The scenery at Tucson is as impress
sive as anywhere in the Rocky noun
tains, and the gorgeous sunrise and sun
set beggar description.
During the nine months, October to
Tune, inclusive, 1S94-5, there were but
twenty-five cloudy days, and nine OF
these were in one month. Some idea OF
the transparency of the atmosphere may
be had when state that, at midd ay

Wbere the Climate IS pure
Hnd the Hlr is Balmy.&

Exceedingly Small Rainfall.-At Tue
son the rainfall for the whole year is only
about clever inches. Some years it is
not even as much as that. During the
nine months, October to June inclusive,
1894-5 there were but twenty-five cloudy
davs and nine of those were IN one
month
erature.-During the months OF
Iune, Iuly and August the average tenn
nerature is about 80 degrees, but there
50 little humidity in the atmosphere
that no inconvenience is experienced.
There being but limited irrigation in the
,eighborhood of Tncson there is no
humidity produced in that way, as is
notably the case in the neighborhood of
Phoenix, where agricultural develop
ment has through the aid ofirrigation
reached a great stage, The fall, winter
and spring months can be compared
with the Italian cline Flowers bloom
during the entire winter months.
| Wonderful Dryness of Climate.-There
/ is nothing more remarkable about the
climate of Tucson than it's dryness. 1t
is phenominal. There isno such thing as
what is called sultry weather as in the
east. A recent visitor to Tucson joking
| lv remarked that mot even the rains
seemed damp" 1t is fact that the ef-
feet of heavy shower is observable for
but a few hours. III this dry climate
sunstrokes are unknown. The dry air
induces exceedingly rapid evaporation OF
the abundant perspiration. AS mat
ter of course the supply of fluid must be
maintained, hence one drinks great
deal of water here.
Good Water at Trcson.-Everyone is
aware of the Importance of good water
and this Tucson certainly has. More
over. there are two ice factories which
supply any quantity of beautiful ice.
Effect of dry Climate on Temperature
Another effect of the extremely dry CHI
mate is that the sensible temperature Il
tar less than that recorded by the ther
morneter would indicate. Some claim
: that there is a difference of as mich al
+ fifteen degrees between the sensible tenn
nerat1,re and that recorded by the ther
mOmeter.
c Climate the Only Cure for Pulmonar
S Disease 1t is admitted that no medica
: treatment has yet been discovered tha
e will cure pulmonary consumption. Th
only cure is that of climate, and in Tux
e son the warm dry atmosphere seems t
e be especially eficacious. AS to the sspecif
n advantage which its climate offers fo

we did not have brilliant sunshine at
some time during the dav. Even more
than Egypt, anywhere north of Luxor,
Arizona is the land of the sunshine.
"The nights throughout the winter are
apt to be cool enough for wood Tires
and blankets. Half the time an over
coat is not needed during the day, but it
is never prudent for a stranger to be
without one at hand.
The atmosphere is singularly clear,
tonic and dry. l have never seen it
clearer anywhere in the world. 1t seems
to have about the same bracing and ex
hilarating qualities as the air of the
great Sahara in northern Africa or OF
the desert about Mount Sinai, in Arabia
Patraea. 1t is much drier than any part
of the valley of the Nile north of Gatar-
act. 1t seems to me about the same in
quality as the air on the Nile between
Assouau and Wady Halta, but some
what cooler.
GAS to food, there is plenty, and it is
good. From here the markets OF Los
/ Angeles, and even of Dtnvel are largely
supplied. Good beef, mutton and poul-
try are plenty and cheap. Quail, ducks
and venison from the vicinity can also
be had. Vegetables and fruits are abund'
ant in their season, and sometimes the
season is a long one. 1t is the one coun-

DR.. A. w. Olcott, health officer of Tue
son, savs:-"The climate of Tucson il
characterized by pure, dry, invigoratint
air: a small amount of rainfall, and al
ever-shining sun. 1t is surrounded b,
mountains which cut off the chilling
winds of winter, and the dreaded sane

important factor in the cause of COM
sumption, those affected with or having
predisposition to lung disease should
immediately seek the proper climate tav-

"The climate of Colorado has been re-
commended for it's beneficial effects for
consumption; my long residence there
gave me ample and sufficient opport-
unity of Judging climatic conditions
there existing during the summer months
The mountainous portions of Colorado
undoubtedly have beneficial effect on
berculosis subjects, but cannot re
commend Colorado during the fall and
winter, as the changes are often severe,
becoming raw and cold within a few
hours, and as these are atmospheric con-
ditions to be avoided, it would not be
advisable to spend these seasons there.

tuition with hereditary tendency to

Location of Tucson.-1mmedlatcl on
the line of the Southern Pacific K. X. IN
the Southern part of the Territory OF
Arizona, and on the edge OF the santa
Cruz Valley, lies the City of Tucson
That it was first settled several centur-
les ago has little to do with what we
have to say here, but yet it's story full
of adventure and romance lends an in
describable charm to the old town.
Evidences of Thritt.-Its antiquities
are, however, fast disappearing before
tbe march of progress. The adobe walls
that formed the battlements of the old
Mexican Pueblo have crumbled away
and the mission ruins are falilng TO
pieces. Prominent public buildings
churches, stores and handsome modern
residences have been erected with beautl-
full gardens, flowers and shrubbery sur
rounding many of the latter. Old streets
nave been graded, new ones laid out, and
other improvements made which give
thrifty appearance to the city.

1t has been Douglass ambition to go ia
Congress, but somehow General Grosveno1
keeps on making positively last appearances
before the republican convention of his dis1
trict, to the exclusion of Douglass He beS
came candidate for the republican MONTH
nation for governor three years ago. whe}f
Governor Nash was nominated the first
time. He did not develop much strength
then, but played the role of dark horse,'f
expecting a deadlock between Nash and
Dougherty. He will be in the race to win
next year. but the fact that he expressed,
sympathy with Governor Bushnell In hid
open fight against Senator Hanna five years
ago Is likely to cause him trouble
OF course Harry NJ Dougherty will again
be candidate for the nomination, but with
much smaller chances to succeed than he
had four years ago. In the course of things
in the special session Of the legislature It
was very apparent that George B. Cox I'M
duced Speaker Mckinnon to join him i'm
getting such code adopted he wanted
for Cincinnati the consideration being, It
Is generally believed, that McKinnon should
have Cox's support in next summers state
convention for the republican nomination.
for treasurer Of the state. AS Cox is operat<
ing In harmony with Hanna, this move
loses for Dougherty his most valuable coo
adjutor.
From Cleveland comes a report, appar<
entity reliable, that Senator Hanna's cam,
didate for Governor is Myron T. Herrick Of
that city. The report has II that the sem
ator is now arranging to make Colonel
Herrick the republican nominee for mayor
next spring. He is banker and business
man Of high standing, very popular, and 1t
is believed that he can defeat Tom Il,
Johnson, who will undoubtedly be nomi-
mated again by the democrats. This exc
pected success is to start Colonel Herrick
on the way to the governorship. OF course,
If he should be defeated in the mayoralty
contest, it would be well nigh fatal to his.
gubernatorial boom. but Senator Hanna has,
no fears about that
