Increased Shipments.
Both the Baltimore and Ohio and the
Pennsylvania roads are reporting in
creased shipments OF coal to this city.
1t is presumed by the officials that these
are but the advance shipments OF The
coal promised by the coal companies.
The receipts OF Reading coal in this city
will approximate forty-fvc cars Ad-
vices from Philadelphia indicate that
ffty-one are today being loaded for this
city
The anthracite conditions are improy-
ing. but are overbalanced by the growing
scarcity of soft coal a number of the
florists are experiencing difficulty IN Sc
curing the coal they need 10 keep their
hot houses going. and already the ef-
feet is 90 be detected In the price. For
The past few days roses have been selling
as high as 80 or $40 dozen wholesale.
President W. F. GUIDE. OF the Business
Mems Association, and one Of the lead
ing florists Of the city. said this morn
ing that his receipts Of coal were less
than they should be Continuing, he
said.
Il am satisfied as a result OF the in
vestigation that l have made in con
junction with the other members OF the
committee that the local dealers have
been much maligned. They are doing
everything they can TO supply the needs
of the city They are thoroughly ac-
quainted with the business and are in
a position to accomplish much I be
Iieve that Il will be the part Of wis
dom to withdraw from the field and
leave all these matters TO the judgment
of those who have proven their inter
est IN the city's welfare
1T was an oversight that some OF the
local dealers we're not appointed on the
coal committee. and in view OF the de-
rogatory statements that have been
made about them il is but their due that
public recognition should be given those
who have sacrificed their own interests
to the good Of the community. II there
is any way that the dealers can suggest

them in securing an improvement in the

ubere 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-fivecloudy
days and nine OF those were IN one
month
1perature.-During the months OF
lune, Iulv and August the average tenn
perature is about 80 degrees, but there
so little humidity in the atmosphere
that no Inconvenience is experienced.
There being but limited irrigation IN the
1eiehborlaood 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 of irrigation
reached a great stage, The fall, winter
and spring months can be compared
with the Italian chime Flowers bloom
during the entire winter months.
Wonderful Dryaess of Climate.-There
Is nothing more remarkable about the
climate of Tucson than it's dryneSS. 1t
is phenon,inal There is no such thing as
what is called suitry 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 eff
feet of a heavy showers observable for
but few hours. In 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 Tucson.-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 eli
mate is that the sensible temperature i:
tar less than that recorded by the ther
moneter would indicate. Some claim
that there is difference of as mach a:
fifteen degrees between the sensible tenn
nerature and that recorded by the ther
mometer.
Climate the Only Cure for Pulmonar,
Disease It is admitted that no medica
treatment has yet been discovered tina
will cure pulmonary consumption. TIL
only cure is that of climate, and in Tue
!. son the warm dry atmosphere seems t.
be especially efficacious. AS to the sPecia
advantage which it's climate offers 70
the relief and restoration of those suffer
ing from pulmonary complaints, not
what different prominent physicians @
the city say:
DR.. w. B. Purcell, County Physician
. Observes:-'It is an undisputed fact tina
proper climatic conditions give tn
!, greatest relief to those affected with o
, having a tendency to phthisis.
? "When a phthisical tendency exist
great care should be exercised to preveu
The Tucson citizen., 1902-09-17

natients should be sent to the arid re-
pions so soon as there is evidence OF in
fiction from the tubercle bacillus, and
should be made to remain there until
they are well, or until it is apparent that
the case is hopeless.
"Manv physicians in the east order
patients to California for the winter,
apparently with a view of sending them
to dry climate 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
physicians in California regularly send
their tubercular and asthmatic patients
to Tucson. California is a beautiful
country, but the fogs which come in
rom the sea, and the emanations from
the vast irrigated regions, make it far
inferior to the inland desert regions for
phthisical patients. think it may be
assumed as a general rule that wher-
ever there is irrigation there is a high
degree of relative humidity, andpatients
suffering from pulmonary phthisis
should never be sent to an irrigated dis
trict. Indeed, some of the California
physicians have declared that irrigation
and malaria go together
1.-The city ot Tucson has. in my opin-
ion, advantages as health resort
which can not be equalled anywhere in
North America. ! know of no locality
where such a moderate winter climate
and such low degree of relative humid
,, ity are combined with tie same latitude
and altitude. 1t rs no longer considered
imperative to send tubercular patients
to an altitude of 1000 feet, or over. In
fact, clinical experience has proven that
more frequently patients required TO be
sent to an altitude or less, rather than
more than 3 900 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
basin near fhe underground Santa
Cruz river. 1t is completely walled in
by massive mountain ranges. To the
north is the Santa Catalina range; to
the east, the Rincon; to the south, the
Santa Rita; and on the west, the Tue
son. Each of these ranges has an alti-
tude of s, 900 feet at least. Mount Le-
mon, the highest peak of the Catalinas,
has an elevation of 10000 feet, and
Mount Wrightson in the Santa Ritas,
reaches an altitude of nearly 1900
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
Iune, 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 midday
and with the unaided eye, have seen
Venus when it was but ten degrees east
of the sum-"
The Tucson citizen., 1902-09-17

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 nres
and blankets. Half the time an over
coat is not needed during the day, but it
is never prudent for 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. II 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
Assouan and Wady Halfa, but some
what cooler.
Gas to food, there is plenty, and it is
good. From here the markets OF Los
Angeles, and even of Der are largely
supplied. Good beet, 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 long one. 1t is the one coun-
| try / have. lived in where straw berries
ripen in the open air ten months in the
year. | have had them on my table,
fresh picked from the open gardens, at
Christmas.
"The man who goes TO any consider
able Arizona town with the idea of the
southwest derived from novels, or from
The Arizona Kicker, will be greatly nys-
tilted. He will find as many churches
as in towns ofcorresponding sizein Penn
sylvania or Ohio, and probably more
school houses, and vet he will find plenty
of liquor shops, too and gambling
houses, and vet he will see little disorder
unless he hunts late at night for it, and
he will find d community OF ten thou
sand people requiring III the daytime
only one policeman, and very little oc.
cupation for him"
DR.. A. w. Olcott, health officer Of Tue
son, says:-"The climate of Tucson is
characterized by pure, dry, invigorating
air; a small amount of rainfall, and an
ever-shining sun. 1t is surrounded by
mountains which cut off the chilling
winds of winter, and the dreaded sand
storms of most arid regions. Its south
ern position gives it mild winter eli
mate. These conditions render pleasant
an out-ofdoor life the entire year, and
permit those suffering from lung and
bronchial diseases daily exercise and life
in the open air. This treatment, in spite
of numberless cures for consumption, ex
plotted monthly, stands first in the con
- fidence of the people and of the medica,
!. profession as the best single means
known Of combating the dread disease
|, tuberculosis. The out-of-door life, with
proper medical treatment, has afforded
relief to numbers of sufferers who are be
yond hope of cure, and cured many il
, the earlier stages of consumption.
DIR. Harrison e. Stroud says of tht

tum in the territory, nor has there been
caes of sunstroke. except drunkards
inebriated at the time. 1t is Uncommon
custom to sleep out of doors from the
middle of May until September, and
many (as the writer) sleep out during
the whole ve9r. There are not five days
in the whole year but the most delicate
invalid can spend part of the day, at
least, out of doors. In this climate IN
iuries and wounds heal very rapidly;
contagious diseases are usually very
mild. There has been no epidemic, ex-
cept in whooping cough, for years.
"The winter months, from the middle
of September to the first of May, are In
this locality the finest in the world. One
bright sunshiny Gay succeeds another;
the nights are cool and exhilaratlng the
whole country green with the richest
verdue and the brightest flowers. Truly
it is JOY to live.
"At present / have never known per-
son coming to this Territory in the early
stages OF pulmonary disease andlocating
in the altitude suited to their particular
case that did not get well; nor have
known of one in the second stage that
did not improve. But cannot refrain
from raising my voice against the out
rage of sending advanced cases to this
or other sections TO die among strang-
ers."
DR., II. w. Fenner, of Tucson, Surgeon
of the Southern Pacific r. R., says
Tucson is a city of 10000 inhabitants,
on the main line of the Southern Pacific
Railway, altitude 2,40O feet above the
sea level. Tucson is one of the oldest
settlements made by the Spanish con-
/ querors. 1t is now the commercial and
railroad center of Southern Arizona. The
climate is exceedingly dry and bracIng,
the humidity being exceedingly low; the
yearly minimum and maximum beng

ranges high, but the low degree fhumid-
ity makes the clear warmth tolerable,
and the most healthful part of the year.
Sunstrokes and heat prostrations are
unknown. The climate of Tucson has
been found by experience to be particul-
arly beneficial to most cases of pulmon-
ary phthisis, especially those OF the
earlier or pre-tubercular periods.
DR.. Mark A. Rogers, of Tucson, says:
My experience has impressed upon
me the necessity for outdoor life in the
treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. h
order that the patient may live contin-
uously in the open air for a period ofsev-
eral months, or, for that matter, for a
year, or several years, a climate is re-
uuired which is continuously warm and
dry. Such a climate the United States
does not possess, but the nearest ap-
proach to it is Arizona.
