"In rooms where sick persons
are kept all windows should be
screened, or mosquito netting
placed over the bed of the pat
lent. The mosquito does not
naturally harbor the disease,
but must get the germs from a
sick person.
"Those persons who are OBJ
liged to go into mosquito infect
ed districts can protect them
selves by the use of oils, such
as the oil citronella and oil of
penny-royal, which are repul-
sive to the mosquitoes. 1t is also
well to take quinine, if the dis
trict is known to be infected
with malaria. The average
dose should be five grains each
day, but a physician should be
consulted as to the amount to
be taken"
Doctor Ravenel said malaria
was very common a few years
ago in Southeastern Missouri,
but that it had practically dis
appeared where the lands have
been claimed for cultivation.
"It is curious that people will
do so much more for commercial
purposes than they will for pub
lie health" said Doctor Ravenel.

"In addition to being pests,

Some insects, such as the or

Tucson, Ariz., June 23.-This
has been one of the most inter
esting visits the present writer
has ever made to any unknown
country, a vast domain almost
unappreciated and certainly
misunderstood by the big army
of Americans who crave a castle
of their own. When Arizona
was begging for statehood re-
gardless of New Mexico's claims
a distinguished senator who
never trod the soil west of the
Missouri river said: 81 am not
in favor Of giving an arid sand
desert with a few mining camps
two voices in this august body"
and somehow this is about as
much as many people know of
this wonderful state which has
now over 100000 inhabitants,
5000 square miles and min
erals, soil and climate all its
own.
Arizona lies in Americas big
semiarid plain, to be sure, but it
is far from being a domain of
barren rocks and sand, sun
beaten sterile acres with a few
fast decaying mining camps and
here and there an unkept ranch
as we sometimes hear. When
leaving Ell Paso the other day a
friend said: "Why, don't try to
stop in Arizona it will be so hot
you can't stand it and there is
nothing to engage your pen,"
and as this was one Of the four
states in the great republic
which / have not traversed and
written of l was determined to
break my journey to the Pacific
at Tuscon.
2 The little dilapidated mining
camp made famous in story and
wild west so-called literature of
which one hears so much was
not to be seen, but the bright
new and growing city Of Tucson
was in evidence the moment the
Pacific express pulled into the
depot. However, l had to wit
ness the going of my predilec-
tions and it was hard for me to
realize that / was going about,
amid well paved avenues of
beautiful residences and fine
public buildings as we'll as bust
ness like blocks, one of our most
beautiful and fascinating little
cities.
Ideal, Busy Little City.
The rough mining camp with
its saloons, gambling hells and
undesirable inhabitants had
been metamorphosed into an
ideal little busy metropolis as
pretty as it is sober and quiet.
Surrounded by its mountains,
under its sublime blue sky and
made verdant and green by
trees, flowers and gardens Tue
son is anything but a dilapidated
mining camp; in fact, a more
beautiful and Industrious city of
10000 souls would be difficult to
find.
Arizona has much waste land
and its sun burnt sand plains and
rocky mountains will never in
vite habitation except for the
precious mineral deposits in its
billy Businesses, but notwith-
standing all this, much of its
many millions of acres are fer
tile when irrigated as the delta
of the Nile.
In the making of this won
drous nation the provincialism
of many great minds is no
where better shown than in the
extension of its domain, for did
not some statesman claim that
the states should not go west
of the Allegheneys, and the
louisiana purchase was com.

rated as one of the worlds gar

posed by senators and members
of the house?
Had these men succeeded in
closing the door to this part of
the American acreage the repub-
lie could not boast of its precious
mineral supremacy, its greatest
fruit belts and it's irrigated agri-
cultural sections rivaling the
low lands of the Netherlands and
the delta of the pyramids.
Of course, this old section in
Indian lore and territorial his
tory is practically a grand new
country as only a small portion
of Arizona is finished; the ge-
MUS of the engineer has brought
fruition and splendor to many
little zones of agricultural fer
tility by the use of dams, wells
and pumps sufficient to demon
strate the great possibilities of
the 'baby state" which joined
its sisters in the race for high
est honors less than four years
ago.
Mineral Wealth of Arizona.
The mineral wealth of Arizona
in copper, zinc, lead, gold and
silver are beyond present COM
putation. Of copper the United
States produces one-half of the
worlds supply, while Arizona
gives out of its opened mines
nearly one-fourth.
In the production of livestock
the big pastures of this new
state are helping to feed the
world, while its forests in many
sections upon a thousand hills
tell us that there is something
here other than barren sand
plains, rocky hills and cactus
wastes.
Since this section lies in Amer
ica's great semi-arid domain,
rains falling mostly in July,
agricultuer must depend upon
proper irrigation, but we should
bear in mind that when the
soil is capable of irrigation and
the cost Of it being compare
lively cheap as in Arizona that
this condition affords the far
mer, the truckman and the fruit
grower a veritable paradise.

of mesquite covered wilderness,
cleared and developed water for
the tract, and made it over into
alfalfa, corn and grain fields,
garden patches, diaries, walnut
groves and cotton fields. Here
is the story of how ii was done:
One of Tucson's enterprising
citizens, a banker and at the
time the president of the Cham
Der Of Commerce, induced one of
the government engineers sta
toned in Arizona to make an in
vestigation of the underflow of
the Santa Cruz river which
runs past Tucson. The Santa
Cruz river flows several feet UNI
der the sandy surface except
during flood periods. This en-
gineer's report was so encourage
ing that it was Immediately
submitted to Chicago capitalists
who had developed irrigation
projects in Texas, Colorado and
Oregon, who in Tucson had their
own engineers make further in
vestigations, following which
they purchased the land and be-
gan to clear and develop it.
How Water is Obtained.
The water was secured by dig
ging a ditch 20 feet deep across
the channel of the Santa Cruz
river at a point where it's chan
mel was confined to the width of
a mile between mountains and
foothills. Nineteen 16-inch
wells were drilled 200 feet apart,
the proper distance having first
been determined by a most
thorough test of the quantity of
water available and the water
bearing area affected by pump
ing. High power irrigation
pumps and electric dynamos to
operate them were installed and
a concrete conduit connected
with each well. This conduit was
set nine feet under the first
water bearing strata so that the
pressure from it would draw a
considerable portion of the year.
The water so secured is carried
in concrete bitches to the land to
be irrigated and it is carried and
used in winter as well as sum-
mer, for in this climate farming
is a IL months industry, There
are no idle months when the
stock must be fed from the hay
and grain raised during the
summer; there are no snow and
heavy frost to make the land
lie fallow and keep the farmer
prisoner in his house. Here the
dairy cattle feed on growing
alfalfa the year round, hogs are
in pasture in February and
March, garden truck is raised in
January and the fields are grow
ing barley to be cut in April
and followed with corn and other
summer crops. The farmers
wife can have her flower garden
in continuous bloom and pluck
roses as we'll as chrysanthe-
NUNS for her Christmas decora-
tons. The farmer at Tucson
does not get gray worrying
about a possible drought or
whether he will get water in
time to make his crop. He knows
that water is ready for his use
when he wants it.
Farming in this section is not
pioneering. On the project OF
the Tucson Farms company ev-
cry farmers home is electric
lighted and has running water
and telephone. Schools are con.
veniently located. The children
can start in the kindergarten
and go through the state univer.
sity at Tucson without leaving

other small tracts in both the
Santa Cruz ad Rillito valleys,
and there are poultry and fruit
ranches upon the mesa, or high
er land, which are sources of
splendid income to their owners.
To put it briefly, agriculture
and horticulture in their various
phases, are giving Tucson a very
rich back country which a few
years ago was unproductive and
called by the ugly name ode
sert." 1t is a safe assertion that
to find desert" at Tucson in a
few years the traveller will need
to travel quite a distance be-
yond the city.
This city is situated 300 miles
west Of Ell Paso, Tex, and 500
miles east of Los Angeles, upon
the main line of the great South
ern Pacific and also is the
western terminal of the new
Ell Paso and Southwestern rail-
way; it enjoys an altitude of
2,400 feet and is nestled in the
rich Santa Cruz valley with
timbered mountain all about it
and is probably the largest city
in the state.
Citys' Streets Well Paved.
The streets are well paved and
the business blocks and public
buildings would do justice to a
much larger city, while many of
the residences are beautiful in
deed, having Outgrown even a
suggestion of a western mining
camp town. The state univer-
sity has exquisite grounds,
beautifully planted in trees,
flowers and botanical gardens
with fine buildings costing $780,
900, with a splendid faculty and
over 300 students, which speaks
volumes for the "baby state"
There are seven public parks, a
Carnegie library, six public
school buildings, two Indian
schools, four hospitals, a Y. M.
c. A. and thirteen churches.
The United States magnetic
observatory and the Carnegie
desert botanical laboratory are
fine institutions. There are
four miles of street railways,
eight hotels, four banks, while
several of the many retail stores
are big houses, Albert Steinfeld
& Co., being one of the largest
wholesale and retail stores in
the southwest.
AS this is a great stock mar
ket Armour & Co., Swift & Co.,
and Libby, Mcneil & Co., have
plants here. The four wholesale
houses carry stock valued at
100000 and do a fine business.
The banks have deposits of over
Sd, 000,O 900, with combined re-
sources of some $4,000, 900,
which gives this little city f.
nancial standing of no mean
value.
The S. P. railway offices and
shops located in Tucson employ
$50 men and pay out for wages
monthly over 5000 600. The
daily newspapers of the city, the
Tucson Citizen and the Arizona
Daily Star, are splendid journals
of commanding influence. There
are four mills, two big ice
plants, a gas and electric light
plant, local and long distance
telephone systems, many min
ing and pumping machine
houses, machine shops, carriage
and saddle factory, large brick
yards and a foundry in Tucson.
Splendid Chamber of Commerce.
