By KID UNDERWOOD

A few weeks ago a thirsty person could get easily across the border if he could convince the customs and immigration officials that he came from Duluth. Butte, Seattae or some other locality far, far from the bor- der. In them days border resident had to have a passport. This week the Mexican authorities issued an or der giving free passports to residents or border towns. Now everybody has moved" from Butte and Duluth to Douglas and Naco. Immigration officers estimate the population" of Douglas has been increased to 75.000 and that of Naco to at least 20.000 by the new order. Which proves there must have been more truth than poe try in what the governor of North Carolina said to the governor of South Carolina.
