LOWER CALIFORNIA
A RICH PENINSULA
Facts About Territory Where
Valuable Resources Abound.

ashingtOn.-Lower California, Mex
ico's isolated peninsula, the coast of
which the Pacific fleet of the United
States is now patrolling, is one Of the
least known territories in North Amer
lea. The following facts concerning
this arm of land, which projects about
800 miles southeasterly from the south
ern border of California, were given
out by the National Geogra phic society
at Washington:
The width of the peninsula varies
from about thirty to more than a hun
dred miles, and it's irregular coast line,
over 1000 miles long, is bordered by
numerous islands. Being mainly a
mountainous, desert region, it is thinly
peopled and presents many sharply
contrasting conditions. Low sun
scorched plains, where death by thirst
awaits the traveller. lie close to the
bases of towering granite peaks, belted
by forests and capped in winter by
snow. Desolate plateaus Of black lava
look down on valleys scanned with
green bordered streams.
At the time of it's discovery in 1888
by an expedition sent out by Cortes in
search of fabulously rich island, it is
estimated to have been inhabited by
$4,000 Indians, who vigorously resent
ed the intrusion and prevented the
newcomers from getting a foothold for
more than century. The Jesuits then
came in and were wonderfully success
full in exploring the peninsula and es-
tablishing missions. They established
three main trails, one along each coast
and the third down the middle, which
serve as the regular routes of travel
today. The Indians have vanished
from all parts of their former territory,
except a few in the extreme northern
end
During the last half century all parts
Of the territory have been visited,
mainly by Americans, in search of
mines and other natural resources, but
little of the knowledge gained has be-
come available to the public. Gold, sill
yer. copper. iron and other minerals
and much fertile land have been found.
but the scarcity of water. fuel and for
age and the difficulties of transporta-
t1on have united with other causes to
bring about failure to develop the re-
sources.
The climate Of Lower California in
general is hot and arid. Northern con.
ditions are closely like those in adjoin-
ing parts of southern California: in the
middle they are more arid. but the ex-
IRENE southern end. though arid trop-
lcal. has more regular summer rains.
The peninsula suffers long periods of
drought. during which no rainfall suf-
hclent to start vegetation occurs over
large areas for periods of from three
to five years. These dry periods may
be succeeded by torrential rains. which
sweep the country and roll great foods
down to the sea. Is s a...... =.
The peninsula is thinly peopled. and
enormous areas remain uninha bited.
The most populous section is the region
south of La Paz. where rains are more
regular than further north. A few
small towns and widely scattered com.
munities along the coast, with a linn
tied number Of villages. ranches and
miners camps in the interior. cover the
population.

and only the outside walls left stand
ing. The death toll would have been
enormous had it exploded in a crowd.
The story of the l. W. W. propagan-
da reads like a dime novel, These men
and women. mostly followers of Alex
ander Berkman, one of the most noted
anarchists in the country, one who has
served a prison term for an attempt
on the life of Henry c.. Prick and
withal a brilliant writer and scholar,
say they will not rest until they re
ceive just recognition First they be-
gan by invading churches Of New York
city, demanding something to eat and a
place to sleep. These raids we're STOP
ped when about 100 men and boys
were arrested, their leader given long
prison term and others serving from
one to two months in jail
Following this, members of the 1. W.
W. began what they called a protest
against the murder of miners in the
recent coal mine war in Colorado, in
which man! lives were lost. Led by
Upton Sinclair, 1. w. W. supporters
marched up and down in front of the
Office of John D. Rockefeller, Jr, wear
ing Grape bands on their arms. This
continued for some time, and Mr..
Rockefeller went to his home at Tar
rytown, N. Y. He was followed by
the agitators. and riot occurred there
when the town authorities refused to
allow the visitors to make infammatory
threats against life and property.
About a dozen Of the ringleaders
were arrested in Tarrytown. Among
these was Alexander Berkman, founder
of school of anarchy and admitted
leader of the outbreaks. It is said
that Berkman furnishes the brains for
the agitators. His school is run regu-
larly. and the attendance is said to be
large. Students are taught to protest
against present Industrial conditions.
One of the peculiar features is the
number Of girls and young women who
become interested in the movement.
These are considered by the police the
most dangerous OF the agitators-
