chihuahua Enterprise; The big
gest farm-if farm" it can be
called-is owned by Don Luis
Terrazas in the state of chihuahua,
Mexico, which measures from north
to south $50 miles and from east to
west 200 miles or 100000 acres in
all, says the Boston Herald. On
its prairies and mountains roam
100000 head of cattle, 100000
sheep and 100000 horses. The
farmhouse" Is probably the most
magnificent in the world, for it
cost almost 81 100000 to build and
is more richly furnished than many
royal palace. On the homestead
alone are employed 100 male SER
wants The gardens are superbly
laid out, the stables more magnifi.

peror, and there is accommodation
for 500 guests if necessary.
Mexican Herald: The Pan-Amer-
lean railroad has reached Tapa-
chula This is the last townit will
touch on this side of the border 60
ing toward Guatemala. This means
that Mexico has prs ically carried
out her contract with regard to the
construction of this road. The
line between San Geronimo, in
Oaxaca, anu Tapachula, in CHA.
pas, it is expected, will be used
within short time. The govern
ment engineers will report on it
first. The Pan American line con-
meets at San Geronimo with the
Tehuantepec National line, thus
linking up this road with the other
systems of the country. The
length of the line between San
Geronimo and TaPachula is 40C
kilometers. The date of the inau.
guration will probably be fixed as
soon as The government engineers
report.

Mexican Herald: At the next
session of the national congress,
bill may be introduced for the pur.
pose of annexing to the state of
Colima certain portions of the ter
ritory of the states of Jalisco and
Michoacan. The change is to be
made in view of the Importance
which the state of Colima is to as
sumo with the opening up of the
port of Manzanillo by the Mexican
Central extension, which will soon
make this port one of the chief on
the west coast of Mexico.
Jalisco Times: The city council
has presented to the state govern
ment for its consideration a pro-
posed law for the regulation of the
use of monographs in public places,
such as saloons and grocery stores.
The use of these machines has
come to be a real nuisance in many
parts of the city, where the crowds
that gether to listen to them block
the sidewalks. Drinking in such
places as they are used is also
greatly encouraged by the desire to
hear the music so rendered.
Mexican Herald: According to
an official report to the National
Board of Health, scorpion bites
have caused the death of thirty-five
persons in the city of Durango
during the last six months. The
bites of scorpions have proved fatal
in nearly every case The state
government offers bounty of two
cents for every scorpion killed,
Many deaths from the bites of the
insect have also occurred in other
parts of the state and in the noun
tain towns of Jalisco.
Mexican Herald: Everybody is
complaining here of the very high
prices at which all articles Of
prime necessity are being sold, not
only in the city, but all over the
state. Corn, beans, potatoes, and
in general all kinds of articles with
the exception of -four, have nearly
doubled their price within the past
three months. The poor are suffer
ing considerably, but it is expected
that the situation will change very
soon, as everything seems to in
dictate that crops will be very good
this year and then there will be ne
reason to maintain the present
high prices OF above mentioned
articles.
