TEXANS CELEBRATE
INDEPENDENCE DAY
At EASTLAKE PARK

In celebration of San Jacinto day,
commemorating the independence of
the state of Texas, 900 members of
the Lone Star club gathered at East
lake park yesterday evening for an
old fashioned picnic and social en-
Atertainment.
San Jacinto day is on April 21 in
Texas and is one of the most impor-
tant holidays of that great state. 1t
is held in honor of the battle of San
Jacinto fought between the Texans,
under Sam Houston. and Santa Ana,
commander of the Mexican army. At
this battle decisive victory was won
by the Texans, and resulted in the
winning of the states independence
from Mexico.
Texas has the unique distinction of
having fought under five flags. In
order OF their sovereignty they are:
Mexico, Texas Free State, United
States, Confederacy and again the
United States. Had it not been for
the war between Texas and Mexico
the entire southwest might still have
remained a Mexican province. Again
in the recent trouble with Mexico,
Texas shared = large part of the
fighting.
The Lone Star club of Arizona was
organized a few months ago under
temporary conditions 1t is expected
soon to make the organization per-
manent. There are about $500 to
1000 ex-Texans. now living in the
Salt River valley and an effort is
being made to enroll every one of
them into the club
When the club has been perma-
nently established the members will
be divided into five sections. Under
a main head there will be minor divi-
sions of the ex- Texans from north,
east, south, west and central Texas.
At the celebration last night, which
began with the serving of a fine big
picnic supper, an enthusiastic crowd
listened to a program of speeches
dealing with the historical progress
of Texas. The principal address was
delivered by G. L. Coffee, chairman of
the present organization. The picnic
was in charge Of d. r. Johnson. rate
expert for the Arizona corporation
commission. Mr.. Johnson has been
an indefatigable worker for the sue
cess Of the Lone Star club.
