age, crops being light and con- stantly exposed to drouth and locusts.
 Brazil has the same area as the United States, but it's cultivated areas do not exceed the area of the State of Ohio.
 Mexico as a nation has such distinct characteristics from the United States that it is not easy to compare the two countries. Mex ico is first, and perhaps always, the worlds richest mineral zone. Part of Mexico is tropical and much of it is dry and barren. Among those barren wastes and miner alized mountain ranges there are some fertile, we'll watered and pro- ductive valleys. It would seem in- evitable that as the country grows the relative importance of these small fertile acres will be empha- sized, and so it undoubtedly will be-
 Agricultural experiments like the socialist colony at !Topolobampo have been made with disaster, but causes too evident for argument have occasioned these failures, and Mexico cannot be charged with the day dreams and inconsistencies of men.
 The population of Mexico in the year 1894 was 12,0S4,O00. In the year 19O0it had increased to 13, ,545.- 900, gain of two per cent. per year. Compromising this rate of growth there should be on this basis a population in 1910 of sixteen mil lion people. The per capita food consumption of this growth will be much larger than that of the original unit.
 Next to the State of Chihuahua, the largest state of the Mexican Re- public is Sonora, the area of the State being 76,900 square miles.
 The population of the State was in 1895, 191 ,2S1; in 1900 this was 220553, gain of three per cent. per year; showing that the State had received as it naturally should) more than its pro-rata share of the growth of the Nation. This growth of Sonora is largely immigration into the State. I'm migration into a new country is apt to be slow up to certain period, in which the new conditions are about overcoming the old, when it commences an ever increasing stream until the time when the in- dustrial opportunities are at the worlds common level; for instance, up to the year 1850 there were fewer immigrants to the United States altogether for the preceding thirty years, than for the year 1906.
 Mexico for many years was sep arated from the progressive lands of the earth by the curse of con- stant revolutionary condition of government. This has been changed for the last ten years, but the inn migration into the country has not been what the we'll wishers of Mexico would like to have seen. This may be in part accounted for from the very fact we have spoken of: the natural slnggishness of inn migration up to the time when the resources of new land come to be generally known and the tide sets in strongly.

PHOTOGRAPHIC REPORT
Of Mir. Frank \. olmsted, Consult ing Engineer for the Richardson Construction Company, Upon the Yaqui Delta.

Isubmit herewith report on phys ical condition affecting your agri- cultural lands in the Delta of the Yaqui River, Sonora, Mexico. My investigation began in April, and was closed in July, 1907.
 In making report of this char acter 1 have thought that to make it of the greatest value to you or to anyone, the study should proceed from a general outline of the subject to specific details, embracing in this range all the pertinent factors climatic, agricultural, financial and social, that tell for or against the proposition of farming in the Yaqui River Valley.
 From the settlement of the Atlantic seaboard, where our fore- fathers ventured a few miles inland from the sand dunes of the inn mediate coast line, hunting a rich CT soil for their farms, to the recla nation of the desert lands of the Gila River in Arizona, there has been for nearly three hundred years an unbroken line of frontier effort to tame the wild areas to the use of man. The ability to do this somewhat in advance of the percep- ton of the rest has resulted Gin the second generation at least) in mak- ing families independent and fore handed.
 Outside of unusual opportunities, fortunate circumstances and ex- traordinary talent, no other regular and legitimate channel of human efforts has raised so many indi- viduals and families to permanent prosperity as the early acquisition of good and cheap lands.
 Lands are perhaps the most obvious and natural symbol in the world of material wealth, and prob ably will always be.
 In any country where there are less than two acres of good pro- ductive soil to the inhabitant, there must be importation of foodstuffs. Where there is more than this 1t should mean exporting ability and wealth.
 The trend of civilization has had it's underlying incentive in the dreams and ambitions of men to own land, and now that the move ment has almost encircled the globe, the wave is spreading out laterally into the Canadian Northwest, and the movement has started south erly into Mexico.
 When Marcus Whitman made his memorable horseback ride from Oregon to the Missouri River. in an effort to save that country to the United States, there were not perhaps one hundred people in the nation which he was serving who had any conception of the subject: The argument that we had too much land anyway, and that it was too far away, sounded plausible, but in fact the world was even then approaching the time when land values meant more, and distances less, than ever before.
 Leaving out of the question the rice crop, the world is raising,near- fly double the weight of food-stuffs she WAS forty years ago: this means

have in each case passed over long, almost interminable stretches of desert country before reaching the cultivated sections of the Republic, where land values instead of be- ing cheap, are held at high price because of the annual income from them, or more generally not to be bought at all.
 The new Hartman railroad into Mexico to Guaymas, and thence on to Guadalajara and the City of Mexico, intersects the Yaqui River lands with two main lines already constructed and immigrants bound for the Richardson Construction Company lands can pass to their destination with the same ease that they can go to Dakota.
 Sonora has 530 miles of Gulf frontage and one of the finest har- bors in the world, Guaymas.
 On the Yaqui River, Medano is the terminus port of a weekly line of steamers from Guaymas. This line, as 1 understand it, has been in operation for many years, and is probably a permanent feature of the State.
 The Gulf frontage is one of the richest in many respects of any in the world. Its oysters and its pearl fisheries, its waters stocked with the finest edible fish, and perhaps that which will mean more to the settlers in the valley: That it is the home of the green turtle, are all factors that distinguish it from an interior location far distant from the commerce of the sea, and often distant from railroad facil- ities. One other factor which means so much to the farmers in any country is that of good wagon roads, and here in the Yaqui River Val ley the roads are fine and auto. mobiles can now be run over a large part of the Company's lands with speed and comfort.
 The lands immediately border ing the Gulf at the mouth of the Yaqui River, and in fact, generally along the whole front of the Delta, are the homes during certain sea- sons of the year of myriads of ducks and geese, and in June while in this country, I saw for the first time in twenty years the blue pig cons which forty years ago were so plentiful in the woods of Wisconsin and Michigan.
 The Southern Pacific Railroad Company is honey-combing the State of Sonora with railroads in competition with the Phelps. Dodge Company, and trains are now run ming daily from the junction at Corral, in the Yaqui River Valley, north and west and south, beyond the limits of the Richardson Con- struction Company lands. The Railroad Company itself will cer- tainly be inclined to do a large amount of advertising work to ad- vance and develop the country through which, at so great expense, they are building some two thou sand miles of standard track.
 The success of the Yaqui River settlement will in large measure depend upon the united efforts of the settlers, the railroad, and the Richardson Construction Company, to all work together and to over come as soon as may be the natural inertia of the country, which is the

are there more people on the earth to feed every year Scientists say 8,000,000) but that the per capita consumption is tremendously in- creasing.
 The Pacific Ocean will bear some- what the same relation to the Worlds activities of the future, perhaps, as the Mediterranean did to those of the beginning of our era. Around its shores will be the most strenuous life, and the greatest commercial battles of the future. Itis a new world just com ing into existence on this side, and on the other the awakening of an old world. The rim of this great basin will furnish the homes and pulsate with the life of the surviv- ors of the fttestl
 The average price of farming lands on the Pacific Coast advanced from $25.00 per acre in 1880 to $500 per acre in 1890. Lacking later statistics 1t seems to me that this average price may now be over $10O.O0 per acre. In England for one hundred years, from 17S1 to the year 1880, the average price of farm lands increased from 33.8 to 51.3 pounds per acre; gain of 52 per cent.
 We do not, however, have to depend upon old records to sub- stantiate the fact that land values are increasing, for all about us, whether we live in Illinois, Kansas, Montana, California, Mexico, or any other country where the soil is fertile naturally, there are every day illustrations of how persistent ly and rapidly land prices advance.
 Whatever adventure or risk there may be then in the acquiring of pioneer land, this much may be taken for granted that the unit price of land (assuming that, that price is correctly apportioned now) will never be less.
 Pioneer conditions have always called for courage and willingness to wait for certain things very de- sirable in themselves, but trivial when compared with being or not being independent and forehanded. The wealthy ranchers in the vicinity of Los Angeles have seen times of Encouragement, but actually they were always in the line of ultimate success, because these factors of growth to which I am referring were ceaselessly working for them.
 Rapid transportation and ap- pliances of modern life have elim- mated many of the most serious of frontier conditions. The Illinois settlers in the '40s and '5Os had in- finitely more to contend with than the settlers in the Canadian North west or in Mexico; their bottomless roads, their milk sickness and fever and ague that frequently incapaci- tated whole families from work, are, happily, difficulties that at least on the Pacific Coast are virtu- ally unknown.
 Civilization started in rainless countries Egypt and Peru) and it is possible that the ultimate devel- opment of man will be reached in the small fertile areas and under the balmy skies of the Pacific Coast.
 South America as a whole has vast areas of good unoccupied land, but not alone are transportation facilities vet far distant, but in
