I M. nnd tin) delicate relations ex
isting between that' country
and the United States' caused public
attention and Interest to be focused'
upon the coast cities of the republic
south of us the moment It was seen
hat there was a possibility of an arm-
conflict between the two countries.
Icxico is rich in natural resources, and
lie western coast especially is a splen-
Jd field for trade. The resources of
Icxico'a rast coastal plains are yet to
so developed to their fullest extent, in
rite of the fact that capitalists of many
lotions are heavily interested there. -
The coast cities became tuc centers

tie great mass of American people
round that their knowledge concerning
these pu'.ces was extremely vague. Most

taken from Terry's "Mexico" and
Mexlco," a general sketch compiled
ly the Pan-American union, of which
lolin Barrett is director general.
The Premier Port of Mexico.
Of all Mexico's seaports Vera Cruz
likes the lead. It is the first com-
Iicrclal port of the republic and is one
f the oldest and most cosmopolitan
ities in the state of Vera Cruz. It
I'as one of the places settled by the
Ipanlsh invaders and today presents a
Ucturesquo appearance, blending the
itlquo and the modern.
Vera Cruz is the natural gateway

bore than one-half of the foreign marl-
line trade and approximately a quar-
l-r of the total Imports and exports.

the United States. The Mexican South
ern Pacific railway extends from
Guaymns to Kogales nnd from Guay
mas to Mnzatlnn, with an extension to
Guadalajara, opening up one of the
richest sections in the country.
Guaymas has a population of about
12,000, and they do an enormous mer
cantile business In supplying the min
ing regions in the mountains and the
ranchmen along the Yaqul river. Its
natural business is doubled by contxl
"butlons from .smaller ports, both nortk
ftud south and along the coast of Lower
California, which send their produce
to be shipped to outside markets.
Beautiful City of Guaymas.
The city of Guaymas is one of tho
most beautiful in Mexico. It is noted
for its well laid plazas, which are filled
with tropical palms and fruit trees.
Tho streets are broad nnd well kept.
Modern watering carts are in constant
operation, the water from the ocean
being used for sprinkling Instead of
IiORD COWDRAY AND OIIi WELL.
fresh water. Tho amount of business
done in the city is surprising consider
ing Its size.
Various writers have tried to de
scribe tho beautiful bay of Guaymas.
Says one (John C. Van Dyke): "The
bay of Guaymas Is typical of all tho
gulf bays and Is a fair illustration of
the coast scenery. It Is one of the
most beautiful harbors in tho world.
Hare mountains, 1,500 feet high, sur
round it and look down upon it, and
In the morning, when tho harbor wa
ter is smooth, their reflections are as
clear cut as though cast in a mirror.
The local color of the water is green,
but the intense blue of the sky changes
it by reflection to a deep cobalt, and
the mountains of rock nro brown, terra
cotta, rose color, changed ngain by sun
set light Into mounds and spires and
pinnacles of gold, crimson, lilac nnd
purple.
"Day after day there is the blue glow
of the clear sky, but at dawn, when
there is a haze or a few fleecy clouds,
tho eastern sky flames with yellow and
scarlet, and at sunset brilliant car
mines, spectral greens nnd burning
golds stretch In great bands along the
gulf horizon or aro reflected from the
wind blown cirrus of the upper sky.
From the mountain tops on clear nights
one can look ncross to Lower California,
ninety miles away, and the,, contrast of
tho -wide cobalt of gulf, with tho wido,
flaming sky above it, Is most violent.
Imposing, awe inspiring."
Tampico and Matamoros.
Tampico and Matamoros are tho two
ports of entry of Tamaullpas. Tam
pico Is one of tho most important ports
in tho republic, ranking after Vera
Cruz in east coast traffic. Situated six
miles from the mouth of tho Panuco
river, it has several fine public build
ings, tramcars, a chamber of com
merco and is modern In all ways. Tho
Tampico-Tuxpan canal connects the la
goons along tho coast Tho same
steamship companies servo Vera Cruz
that make Tampico a port of call also,
Matamoros, on the Itlo Grande, in
tho extreme northern part of tho state,
is connected with tho Texas side of
tho river by an international bridge.
Tho city is thirty-one miles from the
gulf and thcrcforo has no great marine
traffic, but tho commerce with tho Unit
ed States is of decided Importance and
growing.
Mazatlan, in the state of SInaloa, Is
ono of tho principal ports on tho west
coast. Though it Is a quaint old city,
It Is progressive, nnd thero nro a largo
number of foreign nnd Mexican busi
ness houses located there. In anticipa
tion of a largely Increased commerce
with tho opening of tho Panama canal
tho Mexican government planned to
build breakwaters and to deepen the
channels, ns had already been dono at
Manzanlllo, on tho southwest coast, and
Vera Cruz and Tampico, on the gulf of
Mexico.
Upon arriving at Mazatlan, which Is
called the; "Pearl of tho Occident," the
MEXICO
visitor 'Is Immediately struck by tho
fascinating panorama spread before
him. The city stands on a small penin
sula opposite the bay of Olas Altas
(high waves) and Is unusually attrac
tive because of the groves of cocoanut
trees which environ it. The town Is
very level, the highest point being
twenty-one fect nbovo tho level of the
sea. Its crescent shaped bay Is con
stantly dotted with trade vessels from
California, South America and Euro
pean ports.
Topolobampo nnd Altata are the oth
er chief seaports of SInaloa. Altata Is
a port for coasting vessels only and is
connected with Cullacan, the capital of
the state, by a forty-five mile railway.
Topolobampo has the finest harbor be
tween San Diego and Panama.
Cullacan is the oldest city on the
west-coast, and It was there, accordlug
to tradition, that the Aztecs ended their
nomadic existence and developed the
highest degree of civilization found
among the aborigines of America, Cull
acan has an Immense sugar trade and
Is one. of the most fertile regions of.

town of Klmpech, the present name
being a Spanish corruption of that
vocable. In tho early years of its ex
istence it was sacked repeatedly by
buccaneers of tho Spanish main, and
the fortified walls, eight feet thick,
segments of which still stand, arc
relics of the early defenses.
Viewed from tho sea the town is
very picturesduo, embowered In many
brilliant lined' flowers and trees. It Is
built over a system of immense sub
terranean caverns, excavated by the
early Mayas and used by them ns cat
acombs. The chief street is the Calle de
Baranda, named for an illustrious
statesman, Jn whose honor the state
is also known as Campeche do Ba
randa. Topic, capital of tho Terrltorlo de
Topic, is 3,500 feet above tho level of
the sea, situated on a broad plain In
the Sierra Madre mountains. Tho
small Tepic river passes by the town
In a northerly direction nnd empties

THEY WILL TEACH THRIFT.
New Society Is Designed to Help Peo
ple to Save.
Teaching of thrift in tho public
schools, colleges and universities, dis
cussion of thrift by commercial organ
izations from its economic standjKilnt.
preaching about It in the churches from
its moral aspect are a few of tho plans
of tho American .Society For Thrift
which has begun a national campaign
from its headquarters in Chicago.
S. W. Straus, a banker of New York
and Chicago, is chairman of tho or
ganization committee and announces
that tho society Is soliciting no funds.
"To promote nationally tho Individual
economy "which is tho basis of good
citizenship and community prosperity,"
says Mr. Straus, "this organization has
taken up n nation wide inquiry to do
termine how best and most quickly to
change tho prodigal spirit of our times
to tho spirit of thrift. It is tho plan
to make tho personnel of tho board and
advisory council of the society nation
ally representative. All trados, indus
tries, charities and philanthropies will
be represented. All representative bod
ies will bo asked to co-operate.
"Tho prevailing spirit in the United
States onco was that of thrift Today
wo aro a prodigal nation. Tho max
ims of 'Poor Richard, which did much
to keep tho heads of the people level
for half n century, seem forgotten.
Thrift means moro than saving it
means earning, working, planning, in
creasing as well as conserving. Upon
individual thrift the prosperity and
thrift of tho nation depend. It is high
time that something bo done to encour
age and teneh thoso "who in tho past
have been .misled by get rich quick
schemes or who havo lacked knowl
edge of how to save."
Railroad Head Rather Be a Farmer,
In order to work out his theory that
the only solution of the high cost of
(lying problem is tho proper develop
njent of Amerlcnn farming, William O.
BroAvn has resigned as president of
tho New York Central railroad, to tako
effect Jan. 1. no will retire to his
model farm In Iowa. Ho has been a
warm advocato of tho "back to tho
farm" movement nnd has established
a series of experimental farms to dem
onstrate how abandoned farms, under
scientific development, can bo made to
yield handsome returns.

Hi'OUNG woman of many re

remember them. She made some pret
ty boxes, covering them with water
color or drnpe paper and decorating
them appropriately. Then she gath
ered her supplies together, and got
ready for work. She put off the mak

had her nuts shelled and blanched
ready for use- and her simple coloring
