JUAREZ MECCA
FOR THIRSTY
AMERICANS
JUAREZ, Mexico, April 10.—This
little Mexican frontier town has be
come an oasis in the great American
prohibition desert. Here, on Calle
Comercio, may be seen barrels and
cases of American-made .whisky and
wine which is offered to thq^few who
are permitted by the passport regu
lations to visit Juarez. Mexico has
not yet reached the prohibition stage
and the number of saloons along tne
main street has increased until every
other door is a bar.
At present few Americans are per
mitted to take advantage of this op
portunity to purchase drinkB. The
passports are limited only to those
having urgent business in Juarez and,
should an American make too fre
quent trips or visits to the saloons his
passport is recalled. The saloonkeep
ers are looking forward to the time
when all passport restrictions will be
removed and Juarez will aganin be
come the mecca for the thirsty as was
the case under the Villa rule.
Many old-time saloonkeepers from
El Paso, who were familiar figures be
hind the bars of famous saloons in
American cities have made their ap
pearance here and the Mexican main
street is beginning to assume the ap
pearance of the frontier town of olden
times. The bars and fixtures are from
the American side, having been
shipped across the Rio Grande when
prohibition became effective in Texas.
Slot machines, “art” pictures and all
of the appurtenances of the Ameri
can saloon have been installed and,
except for the Mexican loafers, the
visitor might think he was in an
American bar.
“Bootlegging” is developing into a
regular traffic since these saloons
opened, according to American cus
toms authorities, who frave discov
ered that Mexican servants, wash
women and laborers who cross, to the
American side each morning to work
are carrying contraband liquor to the.
American side and selling it at a high
price.

MAKING AN EFFORT TO
LOCATE PIONEER FORT
POCATELLO, Idaho, April 10.—
When the daughters of the American
Revolution met here a short time ago
in the state convention, a movement
was started to attempt the location of
old Fort Hall, much-mooted proposi
tion. Local historians have disputed
the location for many years, some
holding it was comparatively near
the present site of the Fort Hall
agency and Indian school on the res
ervation,, others maintaining thal it
was located further down on the
Snake river. The latter theory ap
pears to be pretty well borne out in
the faint marks of the former habita
tion that ai. one time sheltered Cap
tain Bonneville and Lewis and Clark
on their memorable expeditions to the
Northwest. 1
The 2,000 Indians on the reserva
tion are reticent regarding the early
history of Fort Hall, and inasmuch as
one of the old gray haired braves
boasts the “white men keep me hun
dred and five summers,” and other
aged natives still inhabit the region,
it is possible that out of the program
may one day be evolved the mystic
problem of the past to the exact loca
tion of the pioneer fort in the North
west.
INTERMOUNTAIN STOCK
SHOW WELL ATTENDED
SALT LAKE, April 10.—For the
first time since the inauguration of
the fat stock show by the Intermoun
tain Stock Show Association at the

monntain country are to exhibit their

ARTISTS OF THE WEST
IN CULTURAL dRIVE
SAN FRANCISCO, April 10.—For
what is said to be the first time in
the history of the United States, the
seven arts are meeting in a joint
cultural “drive” inaugurated in this
city under the auspices of the San
Francisco Art association.
A series of co-relation of the Beven
arts conferences began here on Sun
day, March 23, when 200 representa
tive painters, writers, sculptors, mu
sicians and critics of California at
tended an afternoon breakfast and
exposition of American sculpture at
the Palace of Fine Arts. A similar
conference will be held each Sunday
until May 4, the topic being as follows:
April 6, American music; April 13,
American drama; April 20, American
architecture; April 27, American liter
iture; and May 4, the dance.
The idea of bringing together
these conventions of artists originated
with J. Nilsen Laurvik, director of the
Palace of Fine Arts, who directs the
proceedings. Incidental to these con
ferences an exhibition of paintings by
western men and women has been
hung at the Palace of Fine Arts. It
consists of 214 pictures, filling eight
galleries and represents the work of
ninety-one artists from the Pacific
coast states, Utah, Colorado and
Kansas.
