From Mexico City to Vera Cruz and to the Port of Mexico, From there } took the Isth- mus ratiroad over the Isthmus of ‘Theuantepec, stopping at Minititlan, La Cruz, and the city of Tehuantepee, then to Salina Cruz on the Pacific Coast. A ytar ago last February I mede a trip in Lower California from San Diego to Encinida looking over that country and I can assure you there is nothing there that wil inter. est a man as they only get from six to ten inches of rainfall a year, and irrigation Is not practicable as they irrigate entirely from deep we'la, with the exception of a small tract in the Imperiat Val ey which senges in price from $75 to $500 per acre.
