American dltles' Crowth. Nobody knows how fast an Ameri can city, state or town may grow. 1 recall some twenty-five years ago meeting a friend In Denver. He was an Investor from the East I think Denver had about 30,000 people then, lie had come to buy real estate. He said to mo, "This place Is overgrown. Real estate Is too high. None for me I" And he went away. Had he Invested wisely at that time he could have multiplied bis money ten or twenty fold. I was In Los Angeles about the samo time. It had bad a serious reaction after a sudden boom. It was a little place, not one-tenth Its present size. It seemed like a doomed city. An Investment of $500 then In outlaying acreage property, I am told, would be worth $500,000 toduy. Leslie's. ran 3 i P" ' 4 ' ' ' To Be Sure.

Preesutlons Taken To Prevent Out break Of Disease Have Been Efficacious Typhoid Vac cination. ., El Paso. There is not on typhoid patient, not a single case of dysentery or nothing to indicate that the health of the men will not improve Instead of deteriorate in thin camp. Good health Is tho prime essentia!. In 1808 disease swept the camps and hundreds of volunteers died because the olllcers and enlisted men did not know how to provent disease nor how to combat it after It took hold. All has been changed. There's a reason. All soldiers are now fortified against diseases before they are taught the manual of arms. Sanitary Inspec tions and lectures are held dally. Lltera'ure on the subject has been dis tributed and is In tho possession of every officer and man. Pennsylvanlans received their third and final Inocula tion against typhoid and many fainted as they did with tho previous two. Cleanliness In cook lonU and the wholesome food keep tho dread dysen tery away. This has all been effected through a set of orders issued that are posted on tho bulletin board of every unit encamped here. Complains Of Water Supply. A pint and a half of water a day al lotted to each man, Is occasioning dis content among members of Troop A, First Pennsylvania Cavalry here. Day after day the temperature has soared to 130 to 133 decrees. The travel rations, itlll being dispensed, or hard tack, potatoes, corned beef, beans and "beans and beans," as one of 'em puts It however nil they may be In producing "pep," generate plenty of thirst Wherefore the cavalrymen feel that their meager allowance of water indicates poor judgment some where. Three menus a day every day of the travel fare don't tend to rub the end off their humor. Sanitation is likewise only fair. Another cause for complaint Is the Impossibility of frequent bathing. Only two or three of Troop A have bathed or shaved clnce leaving the train. It Is reported that ex-Mayor John Weaver, of Philadelphia; will visit here soon. Further reports have It that the marriage of his son, Roy, which did not take place at Mt. Gretna, con trary to rumor, may be staged here. Greensburg Guardsmen Drowned. Thomas Hacg, nineteen years old, a member of Company M, Tenth Regi ment, N. G. P., was drowned while bathing in the Rio Grande River near Foquilla.s.
