xlcos PRESIDENT COMING
Oregon Accepts Invitation to Visit
Nogales Friends.


Nogales Friends.
Recent kilograms dispatched
by the chambers Of commerce Of
NogaleS, Arizona and Sonora to
President Alvaro Obregon in
wiling him to spend several days
in this city during his tour Of
West Coast of Mexico has re-
suited in an immediate and en-
thusiastic response from Mex
ico's Chief Executive as follows:
National Palace, Mexico City,
May Goth, 1924.
Trinidad Gomez and A. G..
Stearns, Presidents, Chambers
of Commerce, Nogales, Sonora
and Arizona.
| thank you for your invitation
in your wire Of yesterday. Per-
nit me to say that it was never
my intention to return from my
trip to Sonora without visiting
that Frontier City where l pro-
pose to spend at least one day
with my old and good friends of
those twin cities who have al
ways demonstrated such frank
cordiality in their mutual rela-
tions. Your invitation is accept
ed. A. OBREGoN.
President Obregon who is leav-
ing the national capitol this
Thursday for Manzanillo will
tour the West Coast of Mexico,
Nogales to be. the last city on
the itinerary.
Despite efforts to secure infor-
nation relative to more or less
set program to be followed by
President Obregon it has been
impossible to secure definite data
regarding this matter. 1t is gen
orally believed, however, that
the presidential party will Off
cially visit Manzanillo, Yavaros,
Huatabampo, Navojoa, Guaymas,
Hermosillo and Nogales.
The visit of President Obre-
gon, for some time decidedly un-
certain, is confirmed by the tele-
gram dispatched by himself in
person. Recent plans of the
president have been made very
uncertain by the pressing bust
ness>at the capitol and several
large official meetings. Plans
made several weeks ago for a
proposed visit here Of necessity
postponed have again been re.
vived with the certainty, now,
that they will be carried through.
The first notice that the post
poned plans We're again in force
were received by The Herald
yesterday MAY 26) from it's staff
correspondent, Albert Mas, in
Mazatlan. The press report is
now confirmed by President
Obregon's message. The arrival
OF President Obregon in this city
after an absence of several years
will be made with great celebra-
ton upon the part of the people
of ambos Nogales. Chambers of
commerce of both Nogales' are
already working together in the
construction of a program for
the entertainment of Mexico's
executive upon his arrival here.
The program will no doubt be
of two days duration during
which time mammoth military
and civil ~parades will be held in
both cities and the international
boundary line wiped out by mu-
tual consent Of both peoples in
honor of Obregon and as ma
nifestation of the great amity
existing. This is one of the big
features now being worked out
and is but one of many novel
features to be staged during the
forth coming fiesta.
Committees already named by
the ambos chambers of com
merce to arrange the program
are as follows: Nogales, Sonora
Manuel Espinosa, chairman,
Jose Elias, Gabriel Corella, I.
Gutierrez Santa Cruz; Nogales,
Arizona Dave Loeb, chairman,
w. G. Vinegar, Manuel Esca-
