PREPARING TO MEET A GREAT NEED.

IT N the Mexican News presented IN CneSe columns
daily some weeks ago there appeared state
IL mentthat the Department of Communications OF
the Mexican government had made certain cOncess-
ions and agreement with the Southern Pacific OF
Mexico, whereby the railroad company will proceed
to construction of the uncompleted link between
Topic and Guadalajara pushing it to completion as
quickly as possible; and that it was anticipated that
trains from Npgales will be running through to che
City of Mexico by the first of December, 1921
Between Guadalajara and Topic there remain
about $50 miles Of construction to be completed.
There has been published in "'The Oasis also
that the Southern Pacific of Mexico has contracted
for great quantities If ties and timbers that are to
be cut in the Sierra Madre, the Aros river, and
floated down that stream into the Yaqui, and down
the latter stream to Tonichi, Cumaripa or Corral
and there caught by ooorns to be taken from the
water and sent by lail to whatever points needed

plated construction Of the gap remaining untitled in
the next great through line of railway to be put in
to operation. Ali information and all activities in
that line on the West Coast of Mexico, point to
speedy resumption of construction on that long ne
elected line and the certainty of its construction in
the shortest time possible.
Without doubt trains from Nogales will be 1un-
ming through to the City of Mexico by the first of
December 1921.
That will mean o great deal It will mean a
great deal to Mexico. it will mean great deal to the
United States: it will mean great deal to all the
states traversed, both III the UntedN States and in
Mexico; and it will mean a great deal to Nogales.
It will mean w through line under control
of one corporation, all the way from Puget Sound to
the City of Mexico, for, while through traffic be-

Ter through rich and fertile regions to him unfam-

own. A favorite route will be to leave the trans
continental railway along the border and take the
dig loop to the City of Mexico back into the United
States.
Hundreds and thousands of those tourists will
stop at Nogales and if conditions favorable they
will prolong their sojourn.
Now then the most favorable condition would
be good big, first class hotel such as Mr. Writ G.
Bowman cOntemplates upon the site of the present
Montezuma Hotel property, and is projecting plans
already for it's construction.
Yesterday morning "The Oasis" stated that Mr..
Bowman had secured an option on the property and
would proceed at once toward carrying out the pro-
ject he has conceived of giving NOgales hotel which
will rival the Hotel Paso del NOrte in Ell PasO and
the Hotel Roslyn in Los Angeles.
Such hotel is something that Nogales needs
right now, and will need great deal more when the
Southern Pacific of Mexico is completed And it
will be abiding value to every property owner,
ever'y>business man in the Line Cities.
In all the enterprises he has undertaken hereto

''The Oasis" enumerated the remarkable succession
of successes the gentleman has pulled off right here

But all the same, in this last and greatest under

unstinted support of all who will benefit by the i'm
