Nogales, Ariz.. Sept 15.-This is a
great day in Nogales, Ariz., and No
gales, Sonora 1t is an unusual day
in several ways. The Nogales climate
started 1t off by springing something
new and original this morning. 1t took
a day off from the ordinary hot. gummy,
clammy, feeling to the atmosphere and
gave us a cool. crisp, morning that
reminds much of a regular September
day in Idaho.
1t is a typical Indian summer day.
But the big thing, the thing that
makes this, the fifteenth of Septem-
ber famous is the fact that it is the
birthday of Porfirio Diaz-and that
tomorrow is the Fourth of July The
Mexican Fourth, I mean. You see.
they have their Fourth of July on the
sixteenth of September. 1t is the an
niversary of the declaration of inde-
pendence from the rule Of Spain. 1t was
promulgated a hundred and six years
ago-the sixteenth day of September,
1910.
Next May they will have another
independence" celebration.
The spring Fourth of July Mexi-
cannas is the fifth of May in commem-
grafton of the victory of the Mexicans
over the French when the effort was
made to make Maximillian emperor of
the chilli con carne and torteja re-
public. The Mexican victory of May
5. 1867. was a great victory. The fact
that the next day the French licked the
daylights out of the Mexicans is a mere
and trifling incident. Anyway, the fifth
OF May is a joyous Fourth of July on
the Mexican calendar and the fifteenth
and sixteenth of September are sew
eral more equally as hilarious.
BIRTHDAY COMES BACK.
When Porfirio was alive and presi-
dent the fifteenth of September was
really the big day. 1t was the day OF
all days for bull fights, Chino chas-
ing, Gringo sticking and other things.

The battle was the Canadians first

said. and they had it.
