MEXICO THE NEW LAND OF PROMISEPOSSIBILITIES ON WEST COAST OF MEXICO

AS GREAT AS THAT OF MISSISSIPPIVALLEY CENTURY AGO, SAYS COAST PAPER

“Mexico is the new land of pro-mise of North America and thedevelopment of the West Coast ofMexico offers possibilities asgreat as that of the MississippiValley a century ago”, reads anarticle in the Annual MidwinterNumber of the Los Angeles Timespublished January 1.

The article in full is as follows:“While New York is looking

backward across the Atlantic tothe Europe that as, Los Angeleslooks out to the northwest to theSiberia that is to be, to Manchuriain its rebirth, and to the south andthe southwest to the potentialwealth of the new West Coast ofMexico and the rapidly develop-ing republics of South America.

“Los Angeles is already the me-tropolis of the west coast. Itsharbor is now a distributing point4or commerce second only to theport of New York. More naturalproducts pass through Los Ange-

les Harbor than through any otherpoTt in the world. Its export ofoil and import of lumber have es-tabTshed new world records.

“Los Angeles is no longer ancutpost of Caucasian civilizationand culture. Developments in theFarific area have brought it to theproud position where it is the cen-ter of an agricultural, commercialand industrial development vasterthan the vision of the presentgeneration.

EXHAUSTION PpINT“Europe and Asia, with the ex-

ception of Siberia, have been de-veloped to the point of exhaustion.They are stationary in the partswhere they are not moving back-ward. But the development ofMexico and of the republics ofSouth America nas just begun,

wh'le that of Siberia is not yetfanly under way.

GREAT PICTUREATNOGALES THEATER

“The Phantom o£ the Opera”Universal's latest super productionwhich comes to the Nogales Thea-ter, Wednesday, Thursday, andFriday, is heralded as the great-est motion picture ever broughtto Nogales.

The cast which is headed byLon Chaney, includes fifty prin-cipals, among whom are MaryPhilbin, Norman Kerry, ArthurEdmund Carewe, Snitz Edwards,Gibson Gowland, Virginia Pear-son, Cesare Gravina and fivethousand others.

Among the big scenes are shownthe Grand Ball, the gayest ofParisian festivals, the crashing oftie huge chandelier on the audi-ence assembled at the • ParisOpera, and the infuriated mob infienzied pursuit of the Phantomthrough the underground cham-bers of the Opera house.

The story is one of the mostglorious, completely enthrallinglov« stores ever screened enactedby the screen's perfect lovers.

A special orchestra has beenengaged to render the beautifulscore written for the production.Selections from the opera “Faust”are featured.

“The Phantom of the Opera”was produced at a cost of a mil-lion dollars and was two years inthe making.

Mexico is applied in general to theStates of Sonora, Sinaloa, Nayar-it and Lower California, all bor-|ciering on or just below the Gulfjof California. The three firstmentioned have a combined areaof 154,000 square miles, about thesize of the State of California.To this is included a portion ofmountain areas of the Pacific wa-tershed of Chihuahua and Duran-go.

“This territory possesses a pres-ent population of about 760,000.Seven rivers flow from the moun-tains through a great fertile plainwhose soil is as productive as anyin North America.

NECESSARY FACILITIES“Development has been retard-

ed, but the construction of theconnecting link between the South-ern Pacific lines in the WestCoast, running south from No-gales, and the Mexican NationalRailway, running west from Mexi-co City, gives to this territory thenecessary transportation facilitiesfor the sending of its agriculturaland mineral products to the worldmarkets.

“This line will be completednext summer., when the last spikewill be driven into the roadbed ofthe 103-mile length of railroadtiack connectmg Tepic, in theState of Nayarit, with Le Quems-- Northern Jalisco, Mex. Whenohat gap is closed Seattle andMexico City will become linked toeach other with unbroken ties ofsteel and service, and the com-merce of land of the nine w ;llmerge with the agricultural de-velopment of the plateaus of thepalm—with Los Angeles as theireconomic and industrial hub.

“The distance from Seattle toMex ; co City are: Seattle to Port-land, 184 miles; Portland to LosAngeles, byway of Sacramentoand Davis, 1135 miles; Los An-geles to Mexico City, 2051 miles.

“The hinterland of Los Ange-les is no more bounded on theeast by the coast mountains thanis that of New York limited to theterritory east of the Alleghenies.No city in the world is more fav-prably located for commerce andindustry. Agricultural and min-eral development on the WestCoast of Mexico, together withthe harnessing of the waters ofthe Colorado River, the reclama-tion projects on the rivers of theWest Coast and the developmentof the American States just eastof us, combine to make Los An-geles the gateway to the newworld empire.”
