  This item provides an answer to a question never addressed in the press at the time: why did Obregón suddenly cancel his appearance at the opening ceremonies of the line in -It was because a carload of troops escorting a passenger train in Jalisco state had been massacred, and it was felt by the SP and SPM that the luminaries gathered for an SPM celebration would be potential targets as well. "Persons who do this would probably consider it much more effective to massacre the kind of party proposed to be gathered at Salsipuedes viaduct [the planned ceremony location]," notes William Sproule in a letter shortly after the event. "The occasion is not of sufficient importance to have a large number of them risk their lives," concurs H.W. de Forest. Many useful items herein, such as a record of actions by the Executive Committee of the SPM in terms of negotiations with Mexican government. (1921-26). This is a VERY useful summary, dated 3/18/26. (Trivia Dept.: Includes most detailed estimate I've seen yet of the length of the final Tepic-La Quemada leg: 102.816 miles! That's accuracy within four feet! Earlier estimates said 102.79; others I've seen round it down to 102, and most recent published SP history by Don L. Hofsommer actually puts it at 90 miles, for some reason.) Also includes half-broadsheet-sized article on SPM that appeared in the Kansas City Star on Jan. 11, 1925, Section C[?], p. 1. Obregon appears to have had the best relations with SPM. Envelope at end contains large number of mounted news clippings
