MONEY.

Root of evil, magic dross; Prize of sordid gain and loss. Opens wide the magic door That could not be pried before. Makes the world a wretehed place Where men toll with frenzled pace. Causes heartaches, bitter tears, War and carnage, cringing fears, Gliding vice, debauching men, Wrecking nations now and then. Source of sorrows that we curse, Swearing there Is nothing worse. Tainted. filthy lucre which Makes all human fingers itch! Secret of the times mad rush Of the mobs who fight and push; Baleful, blighting, blasting thingl Lust of publican and king. Medium of woe and crime, Fated omen for all time.
 Sent on earth to harry man As a great, eternal ban.
 How we hate the tarnished stuff Yet we never get enough.

LAND SELECTED FOR COLO
NlZATION PURPOSES
Five Thousand-Acre Model Farm and
Experimental Station Established
in the State of Sinaloa,
Mexico

DO you know about Sinaloa, Mexico?
The Sinaloa Land company of Los
Angeles has just concluded the pur-
chase of five thousand acres of the
richest lands in the valley of the Culia-
can river, for the purpose of establish
ing thereon a model farm and expert
mental station both for agriculture,
horticulture, viticulture and stock
breeding purposes. This is the already
extensively improved property of Ye-
babito, formerly owned by Lie. Avina
of the city of Culiacan and considered
one of the finest properties in the state.
The land Immediately adjoins the great
sugar plantation and mill of Navo-
lato, owned by Armada Brothers, four
thousand acres OF which We're trans
ferred last year, including improve
ments, at a purchase price Of one mil
lion dollars gold.
On this model farm of Yebabito
there are now in cultivation about
1850 acres. This area is irrigated from
the Culiacan river, and the balance of
the land will be irrigated by a sep
arate canal, which will make every
acre available for irrigation purposes.
Yebabito is eleven miles west of the
city Of Culiacan, the capital of the
state OF Sinaloa, and the Occidental
railway from Culiacan to the seaport
of Altata, runs through the entire
length of this property, there being
a railroad station named Yebabito, dis
tant about one-eighth of a mile from
the ranch houses and headquarters.
lie property has a frontage on the
Culiacan river of about three miles.
Plans of Company
BY analysis made by L. ]. Stabler,
professor of Chemistry in the University
of Southern California, the soil on this
property is equal to any in the Ha-
waiian islands for the cultivation of
sugar cane. and is capable of pro-
ducing as high tonnage and percent
age of sugar as any sugar lands in the
world.
The Sinaloa Land company viii, in
the near future, establish brick and
tile making plant on the property near
the railroad station of Yebabito. BY
arrangement with the department OF
Fomento this will become one of the
experimental stations OF that depart.
