The temperature ranges from 60 to 90 de-
grees generally, although in 1907 it reached
101 degrees on the 18th of May, the highest
mark of the year. During May. the hottest
month. the temperature will occasionally go
to IS 96, but the general average OF 10 de-
grees is correct. 1t never frosts there is no
extreme heat. and storms are less frequent
than in Southern California. The rainfall is
ample, running from rs to 100 inches yearly,
but the rolling character of the land provides
perfect drainage, and swamps or marshy
places unknown on our land.
So far as health is concerned, and this is
one of the "bugaboos'' that worries the aver
age when the word tropics is men
toned, there is less sickness here than in the
average section of the United States. One has
only to look at the native and American popu-
lation of the tropics to realize quickly that
all this talk of i'll health in the tropics is a
delusion and snare.
Taking all these things into consideration.
is 1t difficult to understand why American
people focking into this section by the
thousand? Is 1t any wonder that they return
home and urge their best friends to go to this
new and rapidly developing country? The
land is rich. the climate is fine, there is no
expensive irrigation, there is plenty of good
cheap labor there is continuous growing
season, unsurpassed market facilities; in fact,
everything a could ask. 1t is simply the
land of opportunity for the man who Is far-
