Mexico has a superficial area oft
767,290 square miles, or it is about
as large as thirteen such states as
Wisconsin. Its greatest length is!
1.900 miles, not much more than the!
longest line through Texas.
Mexico has a population of 15,003,
207, which gives about twenty per
sons to the square mile. Less than
one-fifth of this population is called
white. About 40 per cent is Indian,
and the balance is classed as mixed
blood.

lot of other reasons, the death rate
in Mexico is heavy. Among the In
dians it runs to 50 per cent of the
children. In the City of Mexico the
death rate runs as high as 56 per
thousand in a single year. This
should be one of the healthiest cities
on the continent, as the climate, there
is accounted almost perfect.
There are only 15,251 miles of
railways in the republic. Some of
our states have more than that. In
telegraph lines Mexico does a little
better, there being 46,112 miles.
City of Mexico has an elevation of
7,415 feet above sea level, and is
railed the most perfectly located hi
geographical and topographical sur
roundings of any city in the world.
The climate is never too hot nor too
cold. With proper sanitation it
should have a very low death rate. U
is 264 miles from Vera Cruz, its sea
port. City of Mexico has a population of
more than 300,000 and is accounted
rather progressive. It has 333 state
schools, thirteen technical and pro
fessional schools and as many as 200
private schools. The national library,
located there, contains 250.000 vol
umes. It was founded in 1692.
There are 150 manufacturing estab-jple

CRVSTALIJZI.MJ OPIfLSITIOX.
Word has come to the springs de
velopment committee of an organized
opposition to the springs bond
project. It Is stated that Mr. Hress
ler, R. J. Edwards. Mr. Silver, Mr.
Thomas. Mr. Hailey, Mr. Caldwell
and Mr. Storey are at the head of
the opposition. While these gentle
men have not stated their cause of
opposition to the committee, and the
committee has no knowledge of their
contention, every citizen certainly has
a right to his opinion and the right '
to freely express It, either for or
against the bonds. The thing the
people and the committee want Is a
fair understanding of the Issues when
they vote on the bonds. The matter
is so important that no mistakes
should be made. There will be a
number of public meetings held as
soon as the bond election Is called,
at which every citizen will have an
opportunity to express himself and
state his arguments for or against.
The committee is glad Indeed that
whatever opposition there Is to the
bonds is being crystalized. It is a
matter that every one should Investi
gate and give the results of his In
vestigat'on to the public. Let the
bonds question be settled by intelli
gent Investigation and let no preju
dice, personal anitnoHlty or local jeal
ousy enter Into the discussion.
