THROUGH SONORA AND sINALoA
A great feature of the land OF
the Mocteumas is its haciendas, OF
country estates. The term may
describe either a stamp-mill or a
cattle ranch, farm OF plantation,
but always indicates landed en-.
terprise owned by one man with
his family, employing many natives
and producing according to soil
and cline, large revenues. On our
way south, we have found a great
many Of them, some raising cattle
and corn, others of richer resources,
wheat, barley, peas, and beans
others again still more favored by
nature, cotton, rice, sugar-cane, cot
fee, rubber and other things tropi
cal. Some have distilleries and also
make mescal.
In the valley of Mexico, where
the maguey grows abundantly, the
predominating business is the max
ing of pulque, that famous bever-
age that is bought into Mexico by
the train load.
Day after day while riding along
we see coming in sight, aqueducts-
bridges, arcadas and chapels nest
ling in some chosen spot off the
road like colossal milestones by
which to measure our days journey.
Quite often we stay at this one and
that one, according to how the in
tcrpreter succeeds in arranging,
sometimes for a night only; at 9th,
ers, when necessary and with con-
ditions favorable, for day or two.
A good many we visited for the
purpose of collecting data. Some
of our best times we had on ha-
ciendas. Here we have learned
more about the people and customs,
resources and conditions And we
find as we go on our journey that
there is hardly another object found
in this county that presents SO
many points of interest or an equal
occasion for observation, study and
speculation, as the hacienda. In
fact much Of the matters polite,
economic and social can never be
understood save through it. II
simply puts the interpretation on
old Mexican life in a variety of its
bearings. A legacy of Spanish
times it has retained its ancient
feudal aspects. Formerly tread.

rich their owner, it works today

the identical purpose. Financially

way of some emancipation as much
as the dependency of Spain or the
predominence of priest rule. Tree
of liberty can never flourish in its
wall, yet in comparison with the
afore mentioned coils it is second
airy and as yet nobody cares. Radi-
Gals and preachers are the excep-
ton in this country and the press
is enough of power to take up
the cause. We cannot tell how
long these condition will go on and
exist. In the meantime they will
continue to flourish, furnishing
them with all the luxuries of life,
and on the other hand turning out
thousands of wretched, ignorant
paupers where life is an eternal
round of toll and privation.
And then, to think that. we of
nation intrusted with the standard
Of modern civilization should oc-
casionally express ourselves so
lightly of them, enjoy their hospi-
tality and glory in the wealth and
ease holding court there. If any
body really thinks we ought to
carry on differently and something
ought to be modified somewhere he
is welcome to come down here and
take up where we left off. He
must qualify himself for the job as
we did by punching mules for the
next 8 months over Mexican road
and live on what the country af-
fords. We are confident as. to the

SHOULD BE UP.TO DATE.

1t is no fault of the GUARDIAN il
the Copper Era has no means OF
keeping posted on legislative mat.
ters, neither is it our fault if it
misleads itself through reading the
dispatch in the GUARDIAN stating
the bill providing for the removal
of county seats had passed the
Legislature.
Its hilarious editorial which says
that the county seat will be re-
moved to Clifton before the ex-
piration of the present year clearly
shows that the Era has failed to
keep posted. Our Phoenix cor
respondent informs us that the bill
provides that the election for the
removal of the county seat can be
called only at general election.
The Era is again in error when
it holds Stafford alone responsi BILE
for no county division. 1t is true
a majority of the people of the
valley are against it, but even if
they favored it, it could not have
been accomplished by the present
Legislature if the solemn pledge
of the Democratic party is to be
regarded. The Era evidently mis-
judges the honor of the members
of the Legislature. Mr.. Shannon,
who lives in Clifton has declared
in Phoenix repeatedly, that with
his consent, the division of Graham
comfy should not be considered
Messrs. Kimball and Ijams stand
on the same ground. The Era
overlooks Democratic principals
entirely when it attempts to
persuade Legislative members to
overlook party pledges. Stand by
the party Bros Bull & Leonard il
will win In the long run.
There will be no election on
county seat removal until the next
general election.
We do not pretend to say
what the people of the county
will do on division by the time
the next election comes around
1t may be possible that all of tho
county will be in favor of giving
Clifton county by that time, and
again it may be possible that Cliff
ton will not want it by that time.
