Late Tuesday evening the streets

from the office Of the ? press, as
there was no imprint nor union label

This circular, by term that would

Lower California

Lower California. The mountains have
snow, but the plateaus and the valleys
lie too close to the ocean to attract the
moisture to much extent. But in spite
of this the soil retains the little water
that falls upon it, and dry farming can
! be carried on here with greater sue
cess than in any part of the world.
Irrigation will solve the great
problem of the country. At almost
any place water can be secured at a
+ depth of from ten to forty feet and
once it is placed upon the land the
yield is bountiful. AS much as eight
crops of alfalfa have been raised on
some of the ranches, while fruits OF
! all kinds grow as they do nowhere else
/ III California. Oranges and suavaS,
sugar cane and bananas, tomatoes,
4 peppers, beans, corn and wheat yield
, bigger crops with less effort in Lower
California than anywhere in the world.
This is broad statement, but agri-
culture and horticulture have already
reached such a state of development
on the peninsula that this claim can
over on the eastern end of the pc
ninsula where the Colorado marks the
/ boundary with the United States,
Americans are now engaged in farming
thousands of acres of sugar beet land,
4 getting a higher percentage of sac
/ charine than has been secured any
/ where else. Cotton is also another Of
! the new industries. And all these re
( sources are only in their first stages of
development.
AT present they are not growing
enough wheat on the entire peninsula
TO supply the one mill in operation in
Ensenada. Wheat is easily grown in
Lower California, and it brings pre-
/ MUM of $40 per ton gold in advance
of the prevailing prices i'll California
Bean land, which is in demand at
tura, Cal, can be bought for $40 per
acre within ten miles of Ensenada.
and the records show that it produces
a better quality of beans and more of
them than the Ventura land. Expert
enced American bean raisers from Ven
tura and Orange counties have proved
this, for they are now raising Lima
beans and the staple frijole near En-
senada, raising more of them to the
acre and receiving better prices than
for the Ventura product. They do this
and export their beans to the United
States under a high tariff duty. The
fact that these American bean farm
ers are prospering and growing rich
in Lower California is a pretty good
indication of what other industrious
bean raisers can do with the same ef-
fort.

Across the international line, alike
from Imperial valley and San Diego
there is the northern limit of Lower
California, which in the years TO come
must add to the prosperity of these
communities. 1t is proper that this
edition of the Press should refer 10
the peninsula, and the following de-
scription by John Francis Haley will
be found valuable:
Nearly four centuries ago, when
CorteZ and his conquisadores conquer
ed the AZtecs. a Jesuit monk went into
Mexico with the story of the isle Of
California, the fair land on the Pacific
where the Aztecs mined their golden
treasure, where pearls and gems OF
great worth were TO be found on the
strands, and where, most Of all the
country was peopled by handsome wo
men.
From that graphic story has sprung
all the legends, all the romance, all
the adventure which has grown ur
around the wonderful peninsula. Time
after time, CorteZ sent out parties in
search of the promised land, which
was close to Paradise Though nearly
all the expeditions failed. the main
purpose of the adventurers who com
posed the crews of the galleons was to
see and to live on the isle of the
beautiful women.
AT last one of the expeditions was
successful in reaching La Paz, the
most barren and desolate section of
what is now known as Lower Califor-
MIA. Others finally made their way
back to their native country, not with
stories of riches and of beauty. but Of
hunger. thirst and hardship. battles
with savage and hostile Indians. death
and desOlation. But to trace it back 10
its beginning. the honor of the disco>--
cry Of Lower California, the pathway
OF the new world. must be given to
women. There were no Amazons on
the peninsula, but aside from this tbe
story Of the monk was true.
Slowly but surely during the 400
years which have elapsed the truth Of
the Jesuit's graphic report has been
verified until now Lower California
stands out as one of the most promis-
ing of the undeveloped sections in all
the world. 1t has gold and copper.
IRON, salt and fuel. There is NOT as
much desert on the peninsula of Low
er California as there is in the Golden
State OF the Golden West. Its climate
IS more equitable, its soil as rich. if
not richer, and, strange though it NAV
seem to YOU, there is more water 90.
ing TO waste in this territory than in
all OF southern California.
Ihe one great error in the deveIon.
Imperial Valley press., 1912-07-15

ment of Lower California lies in that
the work began on the south side in
stead of on the north. The explorers
landed on the barren beaches of the
gulf, found sterile soil, salt marshes
their progress TO the north and east
1t was in this country that the history
of Lower California was made for
the next two centuries and then began
the conquest of the plateaus. The
Jesuit fathers led the way. They built
their missions and planted the flag of
Spain slowly along the peninsula un-
til they We're finally displaced by the
Franciscans, who carried on the work
until finally twenty-five missions We're
established The last was founded in
! May, 1897, in the Santo Tomas noun
tains by Father Jose Lorient. 1t was
, called Santa Catalina de los Yumas
Its walls are now standing. the olive
trees and vines are still growing, but
the Franciscans have gone and only
tribes which flourished in those days
remain.
The days of romance are rapidly
passing on the peninsula. A new light
is dawning, a new hand is now direct
ing the destinies of the territory. Live
Mexican citizens are at the helm and
those who have studied conditions be-
lieve it is on the eve Of one of the
greatest eras of development in the
history of the western world.
This includes all of Lower Califor-
mia, extending from La Paz on the eX-
treme south to MeXicali on the east
and San Diego on the north
Between all these is Ensenada, the
principal city, the capital. and the
garden spot of them all. Nesting IN
the bosom of the green hills skirting
the sanded beach of Todos Santos bay,
it is one of the most ideally located
cities on the Pacific coast. It has a
tropical climate with all the disagree
able features of the tropics eliminated.
From January until December for the
past fifty years the records show that
the thermometer has seldom gone
higher than 80 degrees Fahrenheit and
only on the rarest occasions has it
reached lower than 40 degrees. Trees
are green all the time, flowers bloom
continually. the skies are clear and
balmy and it is truly the city beautiful
where nature is at its best. The
slightest effort meets with rich reward
and it is of little wonder that men
have gone there and grown old in hap
py ease before they knew of the oppor-
tunities which lay dormant waiting the
hand of industry.
There is not much rain in most of |
Imperial Valley press., 1912-07-15

Even now placer deposits, giving
rich returns, are being worked. Quartz
properties abound all along the pc
ninsula. One British company is now
operating within $50 miles of Ensenada
and taking out ore from great ledge,
the average assay from which shows
gold values Of more than $50 per ton.
From time to time Indians anl Mexi-
cans come into Ensenada with samples
of ere which show almost pure gold.
| These prove even to the ioy mind that
he sea. There is also Silver i'll the ter
1itory The hedges are said to be i'm
mensely rich Besides. there are big
copper deposits and in the center of
the territory il is said there are noun
tains of iron-s Turquoise, tourmaline,
and even diamonds have been found
there. Pearl fishing is one of the prin-
cipal industries of the fishermen In
cddition to these the peninsula con-
tains some OF the largest as we'll as
finest salt deposits in all the world
With all this knowledge verified, is
it any wonder the Jesuit monk went
back to Mexico with the story of the
treasure isle on the Pacific?
"There is an immense watershed
along the Lower California peninsula
Several small streams traverse a great
portion Of the country and one big
liver-tha Colorado-fiowes across the
territory and empties INTO the gulf.
Those now investigating the pos
sibilities of conserving this tremen-
dous force say that the territory af-
fords better facilities for storage res

and it would soon become one of the
great horticultural and agricultural
centers Of the world. Most of its pro

"Though this neck of land protrud
ing out into the Pacific is not as large
as California, it has an area Of arabic

swine are at their best in this country
and that these Industries are not more
prosperous IS due to the fact that COM

Imperial Valley press., 1912-07-15

IF you hear anyone say that Mexico
is a land where opportunities are un
equal, do not give their statement
credence. 1t certainly does not apply
to Lower California.
In the past if there has been a mis-
carriage of the laws OF the country it
was not due to the constitution or the
code, for the laws are broad and in
many respects more liberal than those
of the United States. Perhaps men
have been in control who have in
terpreted the laws for their selfish
| ends, but this class has been all but
eliminated and today Mexico is one of
the most free countries In all the world
for the man who has respect for the
law.
Taxes are low, and the government
has aimed to leave nothing undone to
encourage the development of the
country. This applies especially to
Lower California. 1t IS not necessary
to become a citizen to reap the bene-
fits. All you must say is that you are
! colonist, give your age and place of
birth and take up the work. If you
fail TO do this you are looked upon as
a citizen after the first six months
These include freedom from nearly all
taxation, a suspension of import duties
and many other advantages intended
TO allow the new man TO get a start.
| They remain in force for ten years and
by that time if you have failed to
make a success in Mexico you would
probably fail in any other country.
More attention is to be paid to
Lower California by the Mexican gov
ernment in the future. This is already
attested by the numerous scientific
parties now engaged in exploration
and experiments along the peninsula.
Three of these parties have been sent
to Lower California by President Ma
dero within the past few weeks. One
is engaged in studying the climatic
conditions, the resources of the coast
and the resources of the ocean. An
other has been investigating the water
sources, the possibilities for conserv-
ing the moisture of the peninsula so
that it can be distributed over the
rich lands and aid in the work Of
h,.i,, ,,ri,,
which the soil of the country can pro-
duce. Still another is now at work
studying the mineral resources of the
territory. 1t has been said by "emi-
nent' biologists in the past that the
mineral wealth of the country was
eroded and washed into the sea ages
ago, but all that remains is not worth
nc effort in recovering.
But these Mexican scientists do not
agree with the older men; they are
now at work demonstrating that Low
er California is indeed treasure
house, that its rich lodges still lie
hidden in the hills, their virgin con-
tents secure and undefiled by the ele-
ments or by the corroding hand of
time
