There is every reason to believe
that La Fiesta Mexicana, Nogales'
biggest annual celebration, will
not be allowed to die.
This conclusion was reached
following a call on numerous busi-,
ness and civic leaders this week
by several local persons who are
anxious to see the fiesta made
permanent annual event.
Everybody contacted' seemed to be
in favor of the fiesta and expressed
the opinion that the spring cele-
bration is too good a thing to be
dropped.
TOURIST FULLER
They pointed out that it is a big
tourist puller and will draw, this
year. a larger crowd than the thou
sands who were here for the fiesta
in 1886, 1897, 1888 and 1899, since
the Southwest is janmed now with
the greatest number of tourists ever
in Arizona at one time.
Statistics show that the tourist
increase in February this year over
last year was As percent.
MEETING TUESDAY
Definite arrangements for the
staging of the 5th annual La Fiesta
Mexicana, which is tentatively set
for April, will be made at meeting
to be held in the Firemen-Legion
Hall at 8 pm. Tuesday. THE PUB
Lie is INVITED AND URGED TO
ATTEND THIS MEETING. Here's
an opportunity for the public to be
heard, an opportunity to decide
whether the fiesta should be held
annually, and if it is held, what or
ganization or group of citizens
should be the sponsors.
At Tuesdays meeting it is ex-
pected that a permanent fiesta COM
mittee will be formed to handle the
1910 fiesta and the fiestas of fu-
trlre years and fix fiesta dates.
GOOD SUGGESTION
The suggestion has been made,
and it is good one, that Is per-
cent of the proceeds from the 1910
fiesta should be donated to the As
sociated Charities and the balance
held in trust to help finance future
bigger and better fiestas so it will
not be necessary to start from
scratch each year.
YOU AND YOU AND YOU ARE
URGED TO ATTEND TUESDAY S
MEETING. If you want an annual
celebration such as is held in Tue
son, Prescott, Phoenix, Flagstaff,
and other progressive Arizona cities,
attend the meeting. Remember, La

Mexican border he began working
for the Cananea Cattle Company

All day it rained and all night
Four days it rained without res
pite.
The bitches were full and the
creeks below
1t rained so hard it made them
overflow.
Off the lofty mountain side,
Down to the fertile valleys wide
The water came with an awful
rush,
Bringing with it rocks, trees and
brush.
The streams poured over the corn
and hay;
Water rushed onward in every
way.
Fences, roads and bridges washed
out.
Homes and churches were gone,
all about
Horrible signs of destruction lay.
People worked both night and
day,
Caring for the homeless and poor;
The chickens and cattle shared
an awful fate
For some were forgotten until 1t
was too late.
The graves washed open
On the river caskets were seen
afloating.
Fire and pestilence ragged in the
city.
I tell you friend, it's an awful
pity
How many dear people are dead;
Some washed away while still IN
bed.
You'd think our fair land was
under a curse,
But wait, my friend, you've not
heard the worst.
AS the rain continued the ground
wet through
To the rocks beneath, and I'm
telling you
The soil, trees and rocks began tc
slide,
Straight from the top down the
: mountain side.
Taking a house it fell to the road
below,
Then the road and two filling
stations had to go.
Down through the valley il
spread
For, miles it went, to the river
bed.
Some of the people it flung out
along the side,
One little girl in tree cried anc
cried
Until she was rescued the mex
morning.
Friends and relatives are weeping
and mourning,

so wide
Their caskets were placed side by

side.
One was found across the Yadkin

Men searching in rain shake and
shiver,
But they must keep on without
quitting
For the landslides took twenty
victims.
Thirteen now in the hospital lay
And three are not found yet, they
say.
The gashes in the mountains
sides will ever remain.
AS monument to the death and
pain
Of those who lived around her
base.
Now to those of you who ask
I reply, no Lordy,
Well never forget the flood Of
1910.
