"A little reflection will readily con- vince one that lack of water, stag nant pools, the use of wells or c1s- terms, are active factors in spreading disease; while the prevention of vege- table decomposition, the replacing Of these conditions with green fields and flowing waters, which as a rule are pure and clean, will eradicate many sources of contamination.
 Another phase connected with the subject is the frequently high altitude of the arid lands, so essential many times in the treatment of diseases or the respiratory passages, which, aided by the open air life, and above all by a certain and stimulating means of employment, adds an incentive of great effect These conditions have made Colorado and Southern Cali fornia the greatest health resorts in the world, and have given life and health to thousands.
 "The conclusion of the eminent physicians who made the Congress or Tuberculosis, recently held in Lon done, famous, were that, in the pres ent state of knowledge, sunshine and outdoor life are our most effective agents in the treatment of this dis ease.
 At present the amount of land that is productive in these districts is small and the means of securing l1vell- hood uncertain. It seems probable, therefore that in the reclamation Of these lands lies one means of prevent ing. if only to a limited degree. the further destruction of our people

Irrigation and Malaria.

The danger of malaria from irriga- tion has probably been over-rated, and since the discovery that the mos quito is the fellow who causes the trouble. it may not haunt the imag- ination as it did once. The Occi- dental Medical Times" makes some pertinent remarks on this subject which are worth considering. The Times says:
 The impression that irrigated dis tricts were productive of disease prompted an inquiry into the subject a year or more ago, whereby the con cluSion was reached that the contrary was the fact. All available literature. all personal and written testimony, was distinctly unanimous in declaring that irrigation brought health and prosperity.
 All the medical evidence showed that there was less malaria, typhoid fever. diarrhoeal diseases, etc; that the sanitary conditions In general were vastly improved, and that the death rate was consequently lowered,
 This was strikingly true of all dis tricts, of so healthy a country as that surrounding Phoenix. Ariz.. and of so unhealthy territory as the San Joa Quin Valley.

What is the Subtle Inspiration of
 Our Growth

J. ID. Lynch in Resources of South ern California: Just now the people up north are engaged in the study of their lives. What they want to know Is, What is the secret of the remark able growth of the south? Why is it that town like RedlandS, most of the land upon which it is located sell ing for S7 or $S an acre in 1SS7-only l5 years ago-is now selling anywhere from thousand to twenty thousand dollars an acre? How do they do it?"
 Now, we beg to inform our contem- poraries and fellow-citizens of the northern and central counties that We do not do it at all. This thing of mi raculous development has just done itself. Topsy informed her interloc- utors that she "jes growed," which has undoubtedly been ,Ae case with the counties which compose the mag ical region known as Southern Cali fornia. They have just "growed."
 There is no combination of mice or men that can prevent the current miracle of growth which is now wit messed in Southern California from reaching perihelion Of hitherto un recorded splendor. Ordinarily to in dulge in the fervor with which Re sources of Southern California refers to the region in which it is published would be regarded as an attempt at fine writing and beyond the bounda- ries of good taste. But in truth this is not so in any sense. No one who
