Mexican Independence Ddu
To be Celebrated in Tucson

The merchants of the city, in con-
junction with the Spanish organization
known as La Junta Patriotica," are
arranging for three days carnival,
to be held in Tucson from September
Is to II, inclusive.
The exercises have been proposed re-
ALLY by the Mexican citizens to cele-
brate the independence day of Mexico,
which falls on September 16. Our sis
ter republic, like the Thirteen coll
onies," was once under a tyrannical
yoke and not many years after Amer
lean independence was gained she, too,
won her independence from the mother
country Spain. In memory of this
event Mexico celebrates September 16,
as America does the Fourth of July.
The merchants of the city met at the
courthouse last night and appointed
a committee composed of Will Kit,
Nose Drachman and S. Rosenstern, to
confer with La Junta Patriotica. The
merchants committee met with the
Spanish organization in the Chamber
of Commerce office this afternoon and
the preliminary arrangements were
perfected
The carnival will last three days,
and there will be many interesting fea-
lures. The program will include In
dian war dances and races, bronco
races and busting, steer tying, rooster
pulling and other cowboy pranks. The
fans will do their part by arranging a
good base ball game at Carrillo,s Gar
den.
One of the features of the carnival
will be an automobile race There
seems to be enough enthusiasts in the
city to get up a contest we'll worth see
ing in this line. Another feature will be
a torchlight parade. There will also
be parade each day on the streets.
The promoters iof the carnival Will
look to the business men to decorate
their buildings.
Ramon Soto is the chairman of the
Junta Patriotica, and Andres Rebel of
the merchants organization. The COM
mittee will set out in a few days to
solicit funds for the carnival, and it
is to be hoped that they will be en-
couraged on every hand. All of the
details for the big show have not yet
been arranged.
The carnival committee will make
an effort to secure low rates from the
different roads, so as to be able to
run excursions into Tucson for the
three daVS' event
