Mexico is No
Place f or Yanks.
Thinks Willis
Mr. and Mrs. Rocky Willis have just
returned from a moat interesting trip
through th& southwestern states and
old Mexico, having visited in Califor
nia, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico,
Texas, and viewed points of interest
in each state.
Mr. Willis stated yesterday that the
United States, and Oregon in particu
lar looks better to him than ever after
seeing the dirty, filthy people and con
dition in Mexico and the dried up ter
ritory of the south.
From El Paso, Texas, they rode for
27 miles on the train and were still on
land occupied by two ranchers. There
are many farms of 150,000 acres in
that section. At Ft Bliss they visit
ed the largest radio plant in the
country. They saw cotton growing
for the first time at Yuma, Ariz,
along, the Colorado river. At Yuma
they encountered a sign on a hotel
which read:
"Free meals every day it rains."
It has rained there twice in two
years. They enjoyed the cactus gard
ens at Red Rocks, Ariz., where they
saw cacti of all sizes and shape, some
being 60 feet high. -An electric storm
there recently brought the first rains
since last June.
Mr. and Mrs. Willis went about 60
miles into Mexico -south of Jaurez.
There they saw the low life of the
native Mexicans, the barren country
and desolate wastes. At Sonora, on
the plateau, the climate is similar to
that in Oregon and land is good, but
there is not a great deal of such land
in northern Mexico. .': .
At Jaurez they visited the notorious
gambling house, the ' proprietor of
which pays a government license of
$300,000 a year. They saw' a bull
fight in the arena which Villa ahot up
last June when he made a raid across
the border and saw the work of the
U. S. troops which responded to the
attack and put an end to the battle
after 36 minutes of furious work, leav
ing Mexican dead and wounded on all
sides.
Mr. Willi is of the opinion that
Mexico is no plaee for Americans. The
people are not of the type of Ameri
can and trouble is held to be Inevit-
ible.
