MEXICO TO DEPEND
ON u. S. SUPPLIES
FOR COTTON MILLS
LoWer California Staple
Will Be Shipped to
Mexico City.

TOrreOn, Mexico, Feb. 24.-The
necessity of importing cotton into
Mexico from the United States for
the purpose Of supplying the cotton
mills with raw material for operating
is apparently inevitable. 1t is esti-
mated that only about four or five
thousand bales now exist on hand.
These were sent from this district
and are in warehouses at Mexico
City.
The recent rains in this section are
encouraging planters to prepare a
large acreage of soil for spring plant
ing much Of which is being done this
month. The spring rains were gener.
al in Central and Northern Mexico
and make the soil adapted for easy
cultivation and give sufficient mois-
ture for sprouting the seed.
1t is probable that arrangements
will be made 10 ship much of the
cotton from Lower California 10 Mex
leo City this year Afterwards it will
be distributed among the cotton fac
tories. Cotton growing in Lower Cali.
tornia is increasing and the next yield
Will be greater than ever before.

Interests.
Durango, Mexico, FEB. 2A.-Tt

Durango, Mexico, FEB. 24-The
Banco de Durango has announced
that it will open its doors for busi-
ness about March l. This institution
has been closed since the revolution
but preserved its organization. 1t is
understood that loans will be made
which will be of much benefit to the
industry of the state and in a great
measure relieve the financial strain
occasioned by the present crisis.
1t. is rumored that the Monetary
Bank will also begin to lend financial
aid to the agriculturalists who have
been colonized on small tracts of land
and need money to plant and cult
vate their crops. The recent rains
have greatly encouraged the farmers
and stockholders, imbuing them with
hopes and expectations for the coming
season.
The Chamber Of Agriculture and
Chamber of Commerce have consoli-
dated in this city and will unite their
efforts for the betterment Of both
mining and agriculture in the state.

GOOD RAINS WILL
BENEFIT FARMERS
NEAR NUEVO LEON
Good Crop Prospects; OPP
timism Among Bast-
ness Men.
Monterey, Mexico, Feb. 24.--Good

Monterey, Mexico, Feb. 24.--Good
reports have been received here dur
ing the last few days, from different
parts of the state of NuevO Leon of
the good which has been done by rains
which have fallen during the last
fortnight.
1t is said the rains will benefit
the corn crops of the farms along the
line between here and Tampico,
where most of the agriculture of this
region is concentrated.
Local bankers and merchants and
wholesalers say that conditions will
change and show a gradual advance
before June, when the first crops of
corn begin to be distributed. AS a
general rule, this time Of the year is
slow in regard to business of any sort,
but it has been worse this year, due
to the financial depression which was
felt all over Mexico the latter part
of last year, when several of the
strongest banking institutions of the
republic had to ask for a judicial
liquidation as they felt they could not
meet their obligations.

PLAN TO PLAY TEXANS
Monterey "Y" Quintet May Meet
Houston "Y' Five.

Monterey, Mex, Feb. 24.-News has
been received here that the Houston
Y. NJ. G. A. basket ball, players are
trying to match a game with the local
team representing the Circulo Mer-
camille Mutualista, which won the
championship of Monterey during the

by all sporting clubs here, a..d it is
believed that the game will be one OF
the most interesting and outstanding
athletic events Of the season.
The local team is made up exclu-
sively by Mexicans. Some of them
have played in colleges, while getting
their education in some of the cities
in the United States. 1t is believed
that the Texas expedition into Mexico
will he met with real fighting spirit by
the local basket ball players.
The Circulo Mercantile athletic COM
mittee informed the San Antonio Light
correspondent here, that the game will
probably be played on special court
which will be arranged in the bull

Social News of Mexico Told by Special Correspondent
MEXICO NOW PLANS
TO SUPPLY FARMERS
WITH NATIVE SEEDS
Contend United States
Products Garry
Plague Germs.

Mexico City, Feb. 24-It is charged
that much of the seed imported from
the United States by Mexican plant
ers has been received infected with
germs of various plaques, which have
developed when planted in this coun-
try, to the great financial loss of the
users. To remedy this condition the
department of agriculture proposes to
provide for the production of seed
needed by native planters within the
country.
Careful work and selection may &C
complish good results along this line,
but so far the experiments with ma
tive grown seed have not been sue
cessful. Rapid deterioration of fruits
and grains have resulted from the use
of native seed, but the department be-
lieves that by bringing seed from the
northern states and in those states
effecting an interstate exchange of
seed the difficulties of inbreeding may
be overcome. Soma 80 not believe
that the native grown seed will be
commercially satisfactory, declaring
that the seeds grown here lack the
vitality to reproduce their kind in
full vigor.
The Importance of proper seed can
be understood when it is stated that
the tomato crop of the state of Ma
yarit is estimated for this season
worth $1,000,000. The larger part
of the crop will be marketed in the
United States.

COAL MINES WILL

OVER-PRODUCTION
Workers Seek Free Trans

Fields.
SaltiIlo. Mex. Feb. a.

Saltillo, Mex, Feb. 24.-Tbe Lam
pacitOs coal companies, operating in
the northern part of this state, are
reported to be closing some of their
mines due TO an excess of production.
Mine No. 3, which produces a heavy
tonnage of bituminOus coal, will be
among the first to suspend operations.
4 large number of miners will be
thrown out of work. Some of them
will find employment at the Agujita
mines, near Sabinas, where the Pen
oles Mining Company operates. Others
have requested transportation to other
parts in hopes of finding occupation
in the metal mines in the states OF
chihuahua or Durango.
The request for passes has been
referred to the secretary Of industry
who will probably take up the matter
with the federal government for au
thority to act at once.

TEST FEDERAL LANDS

Mexico, ID. f., Feb. 24.--The Ma
tional Railway company has been
granted the right to exploit federal
zones and national lands for oil for
their own consumption, according to
contract signed with the secretary
of industry, commerce and labor for
the Mexican government.
Fuel oil for the railways cost be-
tween $150,000 and 100000 monthly
and if exploration is successful, this
cost will be practically eliminated.
At present, the greater part of the oil
used by the National Lines is pur-
chased from the Mexican Petroleum
Corporation from production in Ebano,
S. L. p. These contracts have been
in force since 1905. In fact, the
greater part of the $500 barrel daily
production to be going to the rail-
roads and cancellation of these con-
tracts or failure to renew would un-
doubtedly necessitate the laying of
PIPE lines to the Tamesi river SO the
oil could be barged down to the Mexi-
can Petroleum (Huesteca) terminal in
Tampico, as industries in Mexico
would be unable to assimilate this
much additional oil.
Twenty Year Contract.
The contract runs for 20 years, and
calls for the payment of securities
amounting to 100000 and 40 per
cent of the production obtained, to
the Federal government as royalty.
While. the government retains the
right to designate the lands to be ex-
plotted, railways have the right to-lo-
cate wells anywhere within the boun-
daries of such lands.
Drilling must start within six
months after the government has de-
signated the first zone and once
started operations must continue un-
til the concessionaire has obtained
production of not less than 100000
barrels or not more than 20.000,0O0
barrels annual production. If, how
ever. during the first year, the conces-
sionaire has drilled three successful
wells, or a total drilling depth of
1000 meters has been reached, the
preceding provisions will be considered
fulfilled. ...,r -..a. 49,. .-.a

ASK FOR REPATRIATION
Mexicans in Spanish Foreign Legion
Fought in Moroccan War.

Mexico City, Feb. 24.-Numerou:
Mexicans who loaned their services
to Spain during the Moroccan war by
enlisting in the Spanish Foreign LIE
gion have applied to the Mexican le'
CATION at the Spanish capital, asking
that. they be repatriated, Spain having
accepted their services but no pro
vision for their return to their native
land being made.
The Mexican ambassador has placed
the matter before the secretary OF
foreign relations, but it is practically
certain that the federal government
will pay no attention to the request
of the DICTIONARIES as they are nc
longer Mexican subjects, having lost
that status when they took the oatt
of allegiance to Spain on their en-
listment in the forces of that coun
try. According to Mexican laws they
are no longer citizens of this country
If they return TO Mexico it will b
through their own efforts and not by
any aid of the government.

BANDITS PlLLAGE
AND RAID WITHIN
TWO MILES OF CITY
Puebla Center of Opera.
tions for Numerous
Outlaws.

Puebla, Pue5la, Mexico, Feb. pa
This city, the third largest and most
important in Mexico, is surrounded
by one of the most densely populated
and rich agricultural sections of the
entire republic, which would normal
ly seem to guarantee the public safety
and its freedom from banditry. The
actual condition existing is that it is
troubled more with this kind of out
lawry than any other part Of the re-
public. But few nights ago, armed
bandits raided one of the richest
haciendas located within two miles of
the public square of Puebla and, after
killing some Of the inhabitants of the
hacienda, thoroughly sacked it.
The band numbered about 30 and
were well armed. After terrorizing
the laborers by gun fire and the fury
of their attack, they coolly went about
filling sacks with grain, selecting
farm implements and tools and num-
Der of cattle, all of which they took
away with them. During their re-
treat they set fire to everything in
flammable they could find.
These attacks, which are not in
frequent in this section, are general
ly carried out by a heterogeneous
crowd of outlaws and lawless char
acters gathered up by some bandit
leader from here and there. But in
this case the assailants were all recog-
nized as living on 'an adjoining ha-
cienda, where the laborers are known
to be of decidedly bolsheviki tend
encies. On their retreat the attack
ers made no attempt to cover their
trail. which led directly to the neigh
boring place. The occurrences, so
close to the capital of the state, has
caused much surprise at its bold faced
return to feudal conditions of CEN
turtles ago.
