SANITARY BOARD ADVOCATES WIRE
 FENCE FUR LINE
Cattle Rustling So Serious That It Is Necessary to Place Some Obstruction in
 the Way of Rustler Bands

An international fence along the Mexican border, horse high, bull strong and practically man proof, is the sug- gestion made yesterday by members of the reciprocal rustlingp of cattle that is continually going on in the border district.
 The cattle rustling situation on the Arizona Mexico border is getting so serious as to require the attention, not only of the state live stock board and their inspectors. but the military au- thorities as well.
 The board yesterday received a let ter from Col Carnahan. of the 18th In- fantry, in charge of the Nogales dis trict on the border. calling attention to the amount of cattle thievery going on in that district from both sides, and pointing aut the possible serious con- sequences, and suggesting a means of stopping the practice.
 While Col Carnahan is careful to state that it is not a military matter. that he is more than willing to be of any possible assistance in devising methods of combating the practice, and suggests that representative cat tlemen from both sides of the line get together at some border point, with t9lc bOdfQ ana lfie InIJlbdTY auInOrlIIeS. and devise means of putting a stop to the cattle running
 From the reports that we have been receiving" said Chairman F. H. Crabb 'of the livestock board, it seems appar- ent that there is a lot of what might be called reciprocal rustling' going on from both sides. A gang of Mexican rustlers come over and run off a lot of American cattle. Then a lot of Americans, who are only looking for an excuse, go over and run off a lot of Mexican cattle to get even. The prac- tice rr'se' be stopped in some way, and the board will probably adopt the sug- gestion of Col. Carnahan for a meet ing on the border to look into the matter
 The board would like to see a strong, substantial fence along the border. but we have never before said so because it seemed unlikely of ac- complishment Perhaps the matter has by this time become so serious thai the suggestion for an intAf& &at lonaI fence will be taken up. IF&t4sM not absolutely prevent rustling. hue it would help to track and cs5k3lH Roth varieties of bandits, as Ebez N1ald

 This action is in the interest of greater fair, and better racing card. While the test for glanders, which is required in 25 states. is harmless, t takes a holdup of F hours at the border, and because of the inconve1- fence to the owners of fancy stock and the delay this action has been taken.

GREATEST DRUNK IN HISTORY IF ALCOHOLISM STAGEDBY PAPAGOES

What is said to have been the biggest drunk, the most comprehensive jag in the history of alcoholism in the United States has just been pulled off in tie Papago country The whole tribe was 1t up. That was probably what glve the impression of the northern lights or the aurora Borealis a few days ago. But it was only a drunk and the ex- traordinary dimensions of it was due tu a miscaiculation technically called a miscue The drunk itself was pre- ordained. It had it's roots in religion and superstition. It was an annual rte. It will be repeated. though not on quite such scale, in spite of all the prohibition legislation in Arizona
 The drunk happened. and consider Ing the size of it and all the circum- stances, the use of happened" is ad- vised, on the Papago reservation, at one of the central villages about 40 miles south of Casa Grande. That vast stretch of country is a terra incognita It is the only frontier left in the United States. It abounds in mystery. Those who stay there short time are over come by nervousness which soon gives place to dread which becomes more and more definite and dread ripens Into panic and a getaway.
 There are strange things there; for instance, a cave whose walls are cov- cred with hieroglyphics unlike any other seen in North America There are many skeletons there in strange dresses. There is one, that of woman with long yellow hair. The Indians say their fathers and their fathers know no more about these people than they do themselves; the hieroglyphics and the skeletons were there genera tions ago. Ethnologists have found a resemblance of the skulls in that cave to those of eastern Asiatics.
 But nothing herein has anything to do with the big drunk which recently marred the reign of Arizona law and wartime prohibition. Perhaps the Papagos did not know about the Afi- zona law. If they had ever heard of the war and war time prohibition that they might have had reason to suppose that the war was over, that the army had been demobilized. But perhaps they did not care fingers continental. They would not anyhow let the fool

ORGANIZED LABOR
 CELEBRATES WITH
 DOWNTOWN PARADE

The observance of Labor Day in Phoenix began yesterday with par ade little before noon. It was the most pretentious demonstration of la bor ever offered in Phoenix Every trade in the city was represented and we'll represented, including every worker except those the nature of whose employment required them to absent themselves from the parade, such as members of the L T. U. who were required to prepare the matter for the afternoon paper
 The building trades section was the largest in the parade and must have occasioned surprise at the great num- Der of men who are so employed in Phoenix.
 Another section that drew applause was that of the laundry workers Next in number after the building trades was the section of railroad workers. The parade was more than six blocks in length and thes smarchers were enlivened by strains of two bands
 The parade was made the occasion for soma nrnpaganfla work in favor

of the Plumb plaa for the control and management of the railroads. Num- erous banners throughout the length of the procession proclaimed the be- lief of organized labor that that was the best way out of the railroad muddle.
 One noticeable thing about the par ade was the large number of ex-service men marching. In one union could be seen former army officer marching but a few steps ahead of one of the men who had formerly served in his command.

lshness of the whites interfere with their religious ceremonies and in that they seemed to have the sanction of the United States constitution though they did not really need it.
 The Papagos have a fiesta every year. The rites prescribe that it shall be closed with a drunk; just a mod crate, though. The liquor used is a kind of wine made from the beautiful red fruit that grows on top of the giant cactus. Usually only enough wine is made for a decent tribal jag. The rites require that all of the wine shall be drunk during the fiesta; that not drop shall survive the closing night. That is an obviously wise provision.
 This year they made entirely too much wine and that was the miscal- culation to which reference has been made. But the rite was complied with not drop remained the morning after the closing night. And in the morning and long into the next day the land scape for miles and miles was dotted with prostrate Papagos. The only ani- mate human being was the trader at the central village. As he looked over the scene of desolation he was never before so lonely. It was as if the hu AAeSAA AS1NS 47AI fc11AADDCQ c4l Dul 1T. He was inclined to throw up his iob with all the opportunities it offered for profiteering.
 The Indians lay thickest about the trading post in the immediate vicinity of the automobile of the trader. Thev had removed the cushions to the ground and were using them for head rests, their legs radiating to all points of the compass like the rays of the Japanese flag or the state flag of Ari- zona. Every inch of space on the cushions was occupied by a swellad head or one that later would be swollen.
 The snoring in the vicinity was ster- terous and tumultous. Farther on in the distance here and there was the outstretched body of a sleeping Indian. The plain was dotted with them thin ner as far as the amazed gaze of the trader reached.
