"UNA BARBACOA."
Sunday Mr.. Manuel EspinO-
sa Entertained His
Friends With a Barbecue
at the Pesqueira Rancho.

The Pesquiera rancho, the home OF
Mr.. Pho Ahumada, about eight miles
northwest from Nogales, on the State
Highway, was the scene OF pleasant
festivity Sunday afternoon, the occs-
sion being an entertainment in the
form of a barbecue, given by Mr..
Manuel Espinosa, to score or more
Of his friends.
A fat yearling steer had been
dressed for the feast, and roasted to
turn in the usual way of cooking
such viands: the meat being wrapped
carefully in cloths and laid upon a
pile of heated stones that had been
put the bottom of a pit, covering Of
sheets of iron laid over the top of
the pit, then about two feet Of
earth banked upon that. In about
twenty-four hours the heat from the
stones cooks the beef to turn; but
it does not burn even if left several
hours longer.
When the time to open the pit had
arrived there gathered all the as
sembled guests to witness the job,
which, with all giving attention, as
sumed the form of a ceremony. The
steaming beef gave forth delicious
aroma that was pleasing to the OIL
factories, and decidedly appetizing.
Quickly the barbecued beef was
transferred to a long table set for a
couple of dozen, to which all present
were invited, where the delicious
meat was served with concomitants
of chill sauce, and a chill salad, with
"tortillas" and coffee; and all did
full justice to the appetizing spread.
After the feast was finished the

SEATTLE, Feb. 10.-The general
strike committee resumed its session
at 9:45 o'clock this morning. 1t is

of the committee would set the date
and hour for ending strike.
E. B. Ault, spokesman for the

clared that the strikers "are getting
a little impatient at the continued at
tempts on the part of the city adj
ministration and business interests
to camouflage the real issues inyolv-
ed here" He denied that there is
any bolshevism in the strike,i de-
claring that "it is strictly trades
union affair" He asserted that the
strike will demonstrate the value of
general industrial strikes as a SYM
pathetic weapon in labor disputes,
and will bring labor forces into closer
coordination.
