A New York paper publishes an ac-
count OF a successful effort recently
made by Mr.. N. o. Nelson. in South
ern California. to provide for the poor
er classes. Mr. Nelson has established
at Indio, in Southern California, what
he calls health camp for consump-
tives. We quote the following de-
scription of this worthy enterprise
with the hope that 1t may encourage
others to do likewise; for certainly
no more beneficent work can be under
taken by anyone:
The camp is located in a desert
valley, cut off from the ocean by
the mountains. There is no rain, no
fog, no clouds. The winter days are
all warm, the nights comparatively
cold.
The camp was established In De-
cember, 1902, to provide in part for
the large number of consumptives and
other invalids who go to Southern
California. Most of the invalids have
little means; they can not afford ex-
pensive sanitariums, and are not want
ed by hotels and boarding houses.
ITO meet the requirements of such
patients, Mr.. Nelson bought one hun
dred and twenty-five acres of land ad-
Joining the Indio depot This tract
he has improved by sinking artesian
wells, and by putting most of the land
under cultivation, in order to give con-
valescents. something to do.
TENTS, with all necessary equip
ment for sleeping and taking meals,
have been set up. Land and water
are free to those who have their own
outfit. A small rental for tents is
made to those who can not pay. and
where necessary, board is given them.
All expenses need not be more than
from $3.50 to $500 week.
Work is provided for those who are
able to do 1t, so that their care does
not become burden on the camp.
"The camp is situated in the midst
OF a sandy valley one hundred miles
long and three to ten miles wide.
The mountains on each side rise by
degrees to four thousand and five
thousand feet high. In some places in
the foothills there are springs and
vegetation.
In the valleys most of the land
has. been taken up in the past few
years. The crops of melons and vege-
tables are early and bring high prices.
From 500 to 5000 an acre is an
ordinary yield Alfalfa hay is cut ten
times year, giving twelve to fifteen
tons an acre.
when the campers get well enough
to work. they buy or lease a few
acres. They can either buy the land
on the instalment plan, or lease 1t on
shares for such length of time as de-
sired"
