and taxes are always unpopular. We
all want something for nothing, but
surely seldom get it, nor can we ex-
pect to receive the great convenience
and benefit, the improved healthful-
ness Of our city, and the abatement
of the ~nuisances and dangers Of the
numerous cess-pools, without paying
for it. We do not believe it is prac-
tlcable to carry a sewerage tax if the
whole city is included. The Board Of
Health asks that your Honorable Body
create a sewerage district Of that
portion of the city bounded north by
the Frisco track, south by jefferson
street, east by Lombardy, and west
by the Southern Pacific railroad
track, and that you take steps to
bring this question to a vote in this
district, The members of the Board
Of Health pledge to you their united
and individual efforts in rendering to
your Board all of the assistance with
in their power towards the consum-
nation of this object. The Board Of
Health unanimously and urgently
asks for the installing of this sewer
age system for the reason that the
sanitary conditions of our city de-
mand it. We ask that you take i'm
mediate steps towards it's accomplish
ment. Appoint committees to look
into this matter and bring it legally
and properly before the people. APP
point OF those committees men who
are in favor of sewerage and who will
do their full duty as members of such
committees. After you have done
this, and submitted the proposition to
a vote of the people, you will have
done your full duty in the matter.
Should this proposition, however I'M
fortunately, fail to receive the en-
dorsement Of the people, the Board
of Health will still undeterred con-
tinue its efforts towards securing for
our city the best sanitary condition
possible under existing circumstances,

THE GIRL FROM u. S. A."
A new musical comedy Of unusual
brand and gripping interest is "The
Girl from U. S. A." which comes to
the Sandoz Opera House on Tuesday
Oct. 18.
The unravelment of the plot creates
a series of mental wave sensationt
that reach high water mark at the
close of the second act, when the
laundering applause and ~persistens
recalls cause the curtains to be raised
again and again. The climax comes
when the fearless American heroine
in a bold attempt to rescue her
French girl friend from the clutches
Of a high Turkish official, finds her
self entrapped in the seraglio Of that
dignitary. When life itself seems
hopeless, the drum beats and the
martial notes Of Yankee Doodle are
heard outside Of her gloomy prison
and the steady tramp of a company
Of American Jackies is heard in the
corridor preceded by the crashing Of
p~onderous gates. Then q glimpse Of
Old Glory is caught and the eunucha
and their cringing master cover in
dismay. Not for many a day, it is
said, has a scene Of such stirring and
blood-fring interest been revealed or
the stage. The singing and acting
talent Of the company is said to be
exceptionally strong and the chorus
Of brilliant singing voices appears in
a lavish display Of varied and exqui.
site costumes.
