Plenty Of Water Bot Not
Enough to Drink

High service water users had
their troubles last night and many
had difficulty getting even enough
water to drink. The usual annual
water famine is on the city.
Heretofore the excuse has been
that there was not enough water
Now the city has spent a couple OF
hundred thousand dollars on the
plans of the administration and
the officials say they have the
water but the reservoirs and
standpipe and pipe lines are not
done.
And then the machinery breaks
down. Yesterday after the COM
missioner had issued sweeping or
ders stopping everybody from
sprinkling in the city, one of the
pipes in the air line at the pump
ing plant at South Tacoma broke
off, due to the expansion from the
heat of the sun. This tied up the
plant for two hours and the city
went dry.
The high service became short
early in the evening. A little later
the middle service people began
bowling. Some hotels ran dry en-
tirely and there were frantic ap-
peals to headquarters for water.

SICK MAN TAKEN
FROM FILTHY
SHACK

A considerable amount of COM
motion was raised among the resi-
dents in the vicinity of South
Fourth and Cliff avenue this
morning when the report was
spread that a sick foreigner was
dying in shack ON the bluff
overlooking the Commercial dock.
A peddler found the man stretched
out ON pair of blankets, groan-
ing and tossing about. He was
lying in little tumble-down
shack that had at one time been
used as a COW shed, but which
had been abandoned for several
months.
The stencil in the shack was
fearful and the peddler reported
to the police that a man was dy-
ing from some dread disease.
Detective Huckaba, backed up
by bodyguard of newspaper
men, walked bravely up to the
door, and ordered the man to get
up and dress. The man said he
had lived in the shack for twenty
days, and had been sick for more
than five days. He said that he
had existed on water for three
days and that he was slowly starv-
ing to death.
The curious inhabitant of the
filthy place spoke with a foreign
accent, and said he was a Rus
sian, giving his name as Mike
Leas. He was walked boldly 70
the station, where Jailer Steve
Murphy at once identified him as
a professional "vag" who has been
in the ibastile ON many previous
occasions. He will probably be

THE TACOMA TINES
BOAT OWNERS
AGREE TO PUT
IN FREE DOCK

Rather than have the only spot
available now for small craft to
land closed up, motor boat men
and local boat house keepers will
build a dock and float and main
tain lit free for the city on the 30
foot strip under the Eleventh
street bridge.
This proposition was made by
A. R. Titlow to the harbor and
waterfront committee of the coun-
Gil last might at lively meeting
when the motor boat men swamp
ed the committee with protests
against turning over this little
spot of free territory to the Cav
ley foundry for private use.
Mr.. Titlow represented boat
owners and the present boathouse
keeper at the point. The COM
mittee seemed wavering between
the 100 or more boat owners who
want a chance to land and the one
firm until Titlow said they would
build docks II the city wanted
them and keep them up for free
use.
The committee then adjourned
| for a week to allow a proposition
| to be put up in writing.

MANY TAC0MANS WILL USE
ELECTRICITY FOR COOKING

Tacoma is beginning to move
forward on the plan to become
known to the world as the Elec-
|tric City.
Before the end of summer 1t is
certain that scores of families here
will be cooking with electricity.
Ex-Council President L. L. Doud,
DR.. Baldie and A. B. Savage have
equipped their homes in the last
few days with electric cooking
|outfits and all are delighted. Over
twenty others are now figuring on
equipment.
City Electrician Lauzon this
Afternoon brought to the attention
of the fire and water committee
the fact that he thinks dealers
should make lower prices on the
cooking equipment to get the bus
mess started. The city last fall
to start the idea, sold complete
outfits for sos. The private
companies now are asking $125,
1t is said.
Mr.. Lauzon insists that unless
the private dealers will cut their
profits to low mark, the city
should supply the cooking equip
ment as 1t does the lamps, on a
cost basis, thereby stimulating the
use of electricity, making it pos
|sible to use larger transformers
on the lighting circuits and giving
better light all over the city as
well as increasing the light de-
partment revenues.
The figures gathered by City
Electrician Lauzon indicate the
