JUAREZ AGAIN IS MEG
 CA FOR THE TOURISTS
Associated Press)

JUAREZ, Nov 1S.-Signs are not lacking that this city gradually is reyerting to the former vivid days ot the Villa regime in Northern Mexico when Juarez, owing to it's gay night life, was mecca for tourists from all parts of the United States Now il is giving evidence of deserting the calm, peaceful ways which it assumed when Villa lost his hold and Nenustiano Carranza came into power in Mexico City as first chief
 The most significant of these signs is the sound Of music coming from many Of the saloons, or cantinas, that line Calle Conercio, the princi- pal street. For months the strident, metallic notes of electrical pianos and stringed orchestras have not been heard because the Carranza officials put a lid" on all music in saloons.
 The lid" is lifting gradually, and the first little tilt came when the saloons were allowed to sell other spirituous liquors beside beer. Re gently several of the 'cantinas" re moved the dusty covers from their electrical pianos, and now almost every night may be heard the lat est American ragtme. to be fol lowed by the inevitable La Paloma" and other languid Mexican airs, played for the benefit of tourists.
 No reason is forthcoming for the removal of the ban by the civil au- thorities. However. it is rumored that the authorities need the reVe- nue to be derived from the saloons to keep the city's municipal machin- cry running smoothly.

TRIBUTARY OF K0KOM0 GREEK
 SHOWING PAY
PROSPECTORS ARE DRIFTING ON MARTIN cREEk-OB-
 TAIN GOOD RESULTS.

Reports received in town from Fairbanks creek are to the effect that Martin creek, a tributary of Kokomo creek, on which good pros poets were reported several weeks ago, is also showing what may event ually prove to be a run of pay. Not pay as the miner who operates by the drifting method thinks of 1t, but pay such as will do to work by the opencut method of mining.
 The report states that the pros- pectors who are working on Martin creek have drifted between twenty five and thirty feet and have found pay prospects all the way. They are therefore sure that the paystreak is at least that wide. And they are continuing their prospecting, in the hope that it may prove to be wider yet.
 The prospectors had considerable trouble getting to bedrock, accord ing to the report, on account of the surface water which came into their shaft, regardless of the fact that they built dams in an effort to keep it out. They were therefore com pelled to go up on the bench claim and sink their shaft and to drift from the bench claim into the creek claim.
 It is understood that several out fits are now contemplating operat- ing by the opencut method on ko- komo creek and its tributaries dur ing the next season.

ARMY MULE IS
 HANDICAPPED BY
 HIS LATE WORK
Associated Press)

FL PASO. Texas, Nov. 1S. In the big practice marches that the na tional guard units along the border are put through, with lS,000 men on the road at one time, the heavy test thrown upon transportation has vindicated the army mule in a way chat surprised the oldtimers
 Motor trucks, with yellow prairie schooner tops drawn over tons of supplies, make an impressive display on paved streets or macadamized roads In Europe, where the road systems are perfect. motors have naturally superseded the old kind of transport But except in certain To- calities the deserts of the southwest are not provided with roads built for automobiles.
 The divisional hikes" out of Fl Paso form lines about fifteen miles long For about ten miles stretch sections of infantry, cavalry and ar tillery that grind the roads under boots, hoofs and wheels. Then come field ambulances and supply divi- sions. The accumulated dust and drifting sand conceals trea cherous chuck holes Suddenly truck goes in up to the hubs.
 In the rear line stalled trucks, and even stalled wagons, appear at intervals They are unloaded, boosted out of the ruts and reloaded. Some of them are left too far behind to catch up in the night This means some company has to roll up in it's blankets supperless, the horses of some troops must go without fod- der, or some other unit may have to beg water,
 But past the stalled sixty horse power trucks amble the trains of pack mules. The only trouble is that the mules do not pack enough, They are the surest thing in the border army.

GREENWOOD SHOWS
HERR: MAY FIRST

Special arrangement has been per.
fected by which the Greenwood shows
will exhibit in Americas for one week.
commencing Monday, May list. This
organization is in no way similar to a
carnival Only one performance is
gwen each night, but free street par
AIDES will be made daily by the Green
wood Challenge Band and each night
just prior to the night show a free
concert will be given on the base ball
park show grounds.
The mammoth rainproof tented pa
Wilton has seating capacity of over
twenty-five hundred people and gen
eral admission price of ten cents ad-
mits all. A company of thirty musica;
comedy artists are employed in each
production and distinct change OF
bill is offered each night. A singing
chorus of unusual excellence and q
coterie of gifted comedians and dane.
ers are attractive features of the
Greenwood shows.
An orchestra of nine solo-musicians
accompany each performance, giving
ii the volume and general character
istics of the high-class productions
seen in city theatres. An exclusive
advertising contract with the Chero-
Cola Company makes possible a liber-
ality and investiture that could not be
embodied in any ordinary road attrac-
ton depending solely upon public pat
ronage at the trivial price charged by
the Greenwood shows Owing to the
fact that several years have elapsed
since tented attractions of any merit
have visited Americas, a large attend
auce is predicted for the week during
which the Greenwood shows will be
here.
