CAN CROSS BORDER
 AND SATISFY THIRST
 TO HEARTS CONTENT

MORALES, Ariz., March 13 (by As sociatd Press) ).-Bootleggers have little patronage in this border town They do not satisfy a long felt want. A Nogales resident who develops thirst, having permission of the fed eral authorities to cross the border, merely steps across the street. enters swinging door and names his liquor. It is as simple as going down to the corner saloon in the old days.
 If he names whiskey he does not get it. Barkeepers in Nogales, Son. ora, just across the street from Mo- gales, Arizona are not allowed to sell whiskey, for Sonora is partly dry. But he can get beer, wine or tequila and many an American, unable to secure whiskey, is now on terms of intimacy with the fiery liquor of Mexico.
 Some of the bars on the Mexican side are elaborately equipped and operate handsome dining rooms in conjunction.
 Americans who like beer with their luncheons or wine with their dinners cross the border at mealtime
 On may buy liquor as liberally as he pleases in Nogales, Sonora, but he must carry it inside him when he re- crosses to Arizona. Federal inspec- tors scrutinize closely everyone con- ing thruogh the gate in the high wire

Furthermore, it was said fish would be more plentiful if the spawning streams were cleared and free ac- cess to them given the salmon each year Fisherman who had observed hatcheries declared thousands of fry were washed ashore and became prey of gulls.

DISCOVERY OF
 BUTTE DUE TO
 LURE0FTR0UT

BUTTE, Mont, March 13 (by Asso- ciated Press) Lure of the. gamey trout in the Deer Lodge river, which took Oley Hunfrey and William Ali son out of their way in going home to Alder Gulch, led to the discovery of Butte, now the great copper min ing camp and one of the greatest sill yer producers in the world.
 The discovery was made in August, 1866, according to records which have been received by the state historical library from Dennis Leary through whose efforts the original locators were followed over a trail seven days old to their prospect under big tree where tn Gagnon claim was worked afterward. The Gagnon claim, which started from a prospect hole under a big tree, figured later in the mining litigation and mining deals which made Butte history and is now in the heart of the city.
 Dennis Leary, writing from his home in Omaha, to Justice w. Y Pember- ton, state librarian, says:
 You want to know who were the first five men who settled in Butte. They were as follows: Ooley Hum- frey, William Alison, Dennis Leary, Henry Porter, and Herb Madison.
 "Humfrey and Alison are the dis cOverers of Butte. I was peruaded to go and track them from Virginia City, Mont, when the trail was seven days old, and Porter and Madison came with me- Porter and another man had been fishing in Deer Lodge river and were coming down to Alder Gulch and camped on Divide creek. Humfrey and Alison came out over the hills from Silver Bow creek, so Doc Warnick, a druggist in Alder Gulch got some of the ore and made an as say and was very much excited. He hunted me up and persuaded me to go and find the place where they got the ore and said he had man that saw them come out of the hills to the trail at Divide creek
 'So I went and tracked them to the 1 original lead and found them sinking | prospect hole under a big tree where the Gagnon claim was worked afterwards"

 After this feeding on the dead bodies of the parent fish the young salmon starts out in life with every thing in the stream his enemy from the two-lcgged animal on down, and he in turn feeds on young salmon trout, almost as large as he is. He will also eat his weaker brother and thus the struggle begins that us- ually ends up with him in tin can.
 If we believe that the struggle for our existence is something fierce let us look into the life and habits of the lower kingdoms. Does man rustic for an existence as hard as the salmon fry or eagle?
