BEAR cHAsEs DOG
THROUGH BACK YARD

II IS all right 10 talk about bears
and TO hunt FOR them when YOU are
armed with a Winchester. but one
wants something more than a lantern
when he sees a big black bruin with
not the pieasantest expression on his
face coming down the path after the
dog and making a bee line IN your
direction. says the Canton Ohio, World.
While Barney Paul Of Cold Spring was
going to the barn 20 do his chores on
tuesday night with lantern in hand
monster black bear took after his
dog which was following him and chas-
ed the yelping canine past him within
a few feet. Mr. Paul says that he
did not like the expression OF Mr.
Bears face as the light OF the lantern
fell on him as he went by and had
rather he would stay a little farther
away.

Great Rock Sculpturing.
The expedition took 5000 photographs
including military scenes; made 200
surveys, collected 81 vocabularies and
made many Impressions OF ancient
rock inscriptions. The Hoang-Ho, or
Yellow river, was put on the map in
it's right place, 90 kilometers east of its
old position. Maybe the old map was
correct. for it IS a well-known habit
of Chinese rivers to play hide-and-
seek with photographers. II the Hud-
son was like the Hoang-Ho, a New

MERRY -eo-RoUNDs FAIL.
American Syndicate Said to Have Lost
$4,000 in South America.

VloiOOO IN Ooutn Americas
Merry go rounds. shoot-the .chutes,
scenic railways and other features ia
miliar I'm the amusement parks of the
United States do not appeal to the
people of South America. This infer
ence is drawn by the department of
commerce and labor from a report just
received from J. j. Schlecta, United
States vice consul at Rio de Janeiro.
The report is a recital of the financial
woes of an American syndicate which
attempted to capture the small change
of those who attended the Pan Amer
lean medical congress.
The syndicate, which employed
some so theatrical and amusement
feature specialists. is said to have lost
$4,000 through the lack of apprecia-
tion of the South Americans attending
the congress. The belief is expressed
that some time will elapse before
other Adventures in the amusement
field will invade that section Of the
world.

stand the test-our land had to make good"
Whether or not the land made good"
will leave up to you Here are the facts from
which you can draw your own conclusions.
The first excursion to our lands was run on
October 6, 1908, less than six months ago. Since
then we have run five monthly excursions
six in ALL We have shown our land to more
than 1000 people, some who went simply to
see for themselves, while other represented a
number of their friends at home. They IN
vestigated our lands thoroughly. They visited
adjoining plantations, operated by American
people who have spent years in this section
of Mexico. They followed up every lead to
gather every bit of information they could
concerning the agricultural horticultural and
stock raising possibilities of this section, eli
matte conditions. health conditions and every
thing that would concern an American going
into new country. They did this, not in one
or two days but over a period of about six
months. What was the result?
To those who visited our lands, and to their
friends at home whom they represented, We
have sold more than 200, 900 acres of this land
in tracts ranging from 40 acres up And this
all accomplished in months Did the
land make good-did the company make good?
WE'LL, I GUESS YES!
One thing we will have to admit, and that
is that we have never been able to make the
American people fully appreciate the wonder
full latent possibilities of Tropical Mexico
Some of the stories told by our excursionists
10 tneT IfleHuS On HpHic coulu
not be easily swallowed 1t looked as though
there was something wrong. Many were
skeptical and needed to convince them
that they were getting the STRAIGHT
GOODS. Some of these skeptics decided they
would go down and see, for themselves, which,
by the way is wise thing for every man to
do. When they returned home and told their
story. they were about hard to believe as
the first fellow But they bought land just
the same. and today know they have the rich
est and most productive land in America.
So much for our company, and the land we
are selling. Now, let's see what there is to
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1909-03-28

Just sit down and figure 1t out for yourself
Don't take our word for it, but the word of
over 1000 Americans-red- blooded fellows-men
who have made their money out of land. If
we can actually sell more than 200 900 acres of
our land in small tracts-40 acres up-to
wide-awake American people in the short
space of months, isn't 1t reasonable to sup
pose that we have a pretty good proposition
for YOU to investigate?
Show me a successful enterprise of any kind
in new field and l will show you any num-
Der of imtators. But did you ever find an
imitation that had the real merit-the cold
money value-of the original? We are I'M
doubtedly representing the most successful
colonization enterprise in the world, and be-
cause our company has been successful, doz-
ems of colonization companies are spflnglng
up everywhere, hoping to take advantage OF
our success.
We expected this Any concern must ex-
peot it. But the imitators fail to CONSIDER just
one very essential point-a point that con-
Germs you vitality. They overlook the faet That
our company spent great deal OF time anu
money going over the Held ana selecting tne
choicest lands to be found. They made their
selections at time when they had the whole
field to select from. They had unlimited cap
ital with which to purchase these lands, ana
this capital was backed by the experience of
years in the colonization business in other
parts of North America. Is 1t therefore fea-
sonable to suppose that they would overlook
a good thlng-so many good things that are
today being offered the homeseekers and in
vestors by other companies today?
Here is another vital point to be considered
by you-a point made after we had purchased
our lands and opened them for sale. That
point is PUBLIC OPINION. We knew we mad
good land-the best land to be found in the
Republic of Mexico. But we knew that no
matter how good the land might be, If we
could not convince the hard-headed, far-sighted
land buying American that we had the best
proposition in America for him, the enterprise
would be fiat failure. Therefore, we had to

interest YOU in this land Let US tell you
few things about this land-the oountry-mar-
ket -transportation-and the oppor-
tunity that awaits the progressive Amerlcah
who buys land in the tropics.
Our lands are located along the Vera Cruz
& Isthmus and the National Tehuantepec rail-
roads, in the states of Vera Cruz and Oaxaca
The first named road runs south from cor
doba. giving us direct outlet 10 al the
markets of central Mexico, and to the great
seaport of Vera Cruz, the largest port in the
Republic The National Tehuantepec line
crosses the Isthmus of Tehuantepec from north
to south, connecting the Gulf of Mexico and
the Pacific ocean, There is a big seaport at
each end of this line and across this isthmus
is handled greater tonnage of freight yearly
per mile, than is handled by any other trans
continental railroad in America This gives
us a fine outlet to all the markets OF the
world with railroad haul of about 100 miles,
The soil is unauestionabIy the most produce
tive in the world. This is evidenced by the
uxuriant growth of grasses, underground and
timber to be found everywhere on our lands
The even climate makes the growing season
perpetual and 1t is possible here TO raise
three crops of corn yearly on the same land
The land can be cheaply cleared, and when
ready for the pillow there is simply nothing in
the world that compare with 1t In rich
ness and productivity.
The temperature ranges from go to 30 de-
grees, generally, although in 1907 1t reached
101 degrees on the 18th of May, the highest
mark Of the year. During May the hottest
MONTH the temperature will occasionally go
to IS or 49, but the general average Of 80 de-
grees is correct 1t never frosts, there is no
extreme heat, and storms are less frequent
than in Southern California. The rainfall is
ample, running from rs to 100 inches yearly,
but the rolling character of the land provides
perfect drainage. and swamps or marshy
places are unknown on our land.
So far as health is concerned. and this Is
tba baf
age man when the word tropics is men
toned. there is, less sickness here than in the

average section of the United States. One has
only to look at the native and American poplk
lation of the tropics to realize quickly that
all this talk of i'll health in the tropics is
deusion and snare.
Taking all these things into consideration.
is it difficult to understand why American
people are hockng into this section by tine
thousand2 Is 1T any wonder that they return
home and urge their best friends to so to this
new and rapidly developing country? The
land Is rich, the climate Is fine, there is nc
expensive irrigation, there is plenty of good
cheap labor, there is a continuous growing
season, unsurpassed market facilities; in fact
everything a man could ask. 1t is simply the
land of opportunity for the man who is far
sighted enough to get in while prices are low,
for the time is not far off when this land will
be the highest priced In North America. There
is no finer orange land in the world. Here
the orange grows wild everywhere In the
woods proving that 1t Is the true home of
this money making fruit.
Now, Mr.. Landseeker. there is one of two
things certain. ! am either giving you
straight story about this land, and the coun
try in which 1t is located, orr have handled
the truth mighty recklessly. There Is a good
deal of evidence in my favor already. in the
shape of what our company has accomplished

number of ''imitators'' have Weakened up.

dence to guide you--wth these facts before

rather than a sort of Johnny jump-up'
affair-don't you think 1t well worth your

oughly? All we ask is fair hearing Sim
