PLATTSUOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOUBNAL Z23E By ARNAUD U'USSEAU United Press Staff Correspondent HERM03ILO, Sonora, Mex., July 11. (UP) Visions of another world famous bordertown comparable to Aqua Caliente are seen for this small west' coast Mexican town following award of a 7,000.000-peso contract for paving a highway from here to the Sinaloa state line. The contract is hailed by Amer ican and Mexican authorities a3 the lirst and most important step in the long visualized first-class highways from the international border at No- gales to Mexico City. State tourist bureaus anticipate a 1,000 per cent increase ia trade, and already sites have been chosen for two modern hotels. Gov. Roman Yocupicio was hailed as responsible for the inauguration of the highway, and business men re call his inaugural address last Sept ember when he pledged highway im provement as one of the vital aims of his administration. Hopes to Advance Friendship To build a greater American tour ist trade and foster a deeper feeling of friendship between the two coun tries, Yocupicio founded a state tour ist bureau shortly after he took of fice. Today tourist bureaus are In every important city in Sonora. The Mexican dream is to have a first-class highway to enable tour ists to maka a complete tour of the entire republic, entering at Laredo, Tex. In February, the Sonora governor spent several week3 in Mezatlan, Sinaloa, attending a meeting of Mexican-American good roads associations where plans were made to fulfill this dream. Four Mexican states were repre sented and application for funds was made to the federal government. A representative of President Lazaro Cardenas pledged to match any state funds. The American delegation, repre sented by the Southern California Good Roads association, agreed to aid the work by sending experienced en gineers into Mexico to map the routes. Mountains in Path The major problem confronting engineers was the formidable moun tainous region north of Guadalajara. These mountains, rising thousands of jagged feet above sea-level, have con fronted engineers since the days of Diaz. They were the refuge of Villa's men. Indian tribes, unknown to civ ilization, are said to have hidden in them for years. Ambrose Bierce, famous American author, is believed to have been lost and died in them. Ei.gineers decided it would be folly to scale the mountains, treacherous even to nimble mountain goats. By careful mapping and planning. It was found a highway could be laid by swinging the road along the Paci- fic coast. While engineers were carrying out this work, Yocupicio's administration proceeded with the building of a score of bridges along the Nogales- Hermosillo highway. Work on the Ilermosillo-Sinaloa strip will begin late in July and is expected to be finished by 1939. NEW YORK (Special.) "The 1939 New York World's Fair has planned to have the largest area and the greatest number and variety of amusements ever provided for any exposition in the world," announces Grover Whalen.
