Natatorium Opening
Draws Jolly Crowd

There have been a few bed-ridden
people, an all night waiter or two and
possibly u few in Jail who did not at.
tend the opening of the Shanoan nat
atorium last night, but from the gen
eral appearance of the crowd massed
around the pool, seated on the
benches beneath trees or tangoing on
the bleach" to the lively strains of the
orchestra, the old town proper was as
lonely as an Egyptian ruin.
II it takes big crowd, full Of
laughter, congeniaI, orderly and bent
on having good time, to make any
opening a success, then the formal in.
itiation of Shanoan bathing pool was
certainly a scream. They first came
by twos and threes, but their numbers
steadily increased until every car
dumped a capacity load at Shanoan
station and every brand of vehicle
from a seven passenger touring car to
a lumber wagon brought its load of
pleasure seekers.
The only few items that might have
added to the pleasure of all and their
accommodations, are a larger pool,
more bathing suits and more bath
houses. However, the crowd in evi-
dence last night would have congest-
ed any resort, outside of a boundless
stretch Of ocean beach. Men, women
and children joined together to make
the affair a success. The shoot the

damage caused by the movement
through the Belgian territory would
be paid for by Germany and that Bel
gums territorial integrity would be
respected.
When Belgium resisted. the kaiser
and the general staff agreed that it
must be conquered at any cost. The
very fact that French troops entered
Belgium almost simultaneously with
the Germans shows an understanding
in advance between the two countries.
The German plan of campaign Is
naturally hidden, but such officers Of
the staff as ! saw maintained that
there could be only one outcome. The
German army is going to Paris, these
officers say, and in such an undertake

There is great depth OF sorrow over
The loss of the flower Of Germany's

GROCERY
ROBBED

It was evidently someone protest

endeavoring to mend matters along

store of w. l. Kicker, Seventeenth and
Idaho last night and carried away an
assortment of goods, said assortmen.

chasing agent of metropolitan hotel.
The burglar was distinctly not a
specialist on any particular article
According to Mr.. Kicker, he went over
the entire stock, selecting therefrom
portions of whatever happened to
strike his fancy Canned goods, SUI
gar, bacon, potatoes, candy and to-
bacco were some of the items on the
list carried away.
Entrance was effected by the simple
method of breaking in the glass of the
front door. The tracks of a single
buggy were evident this morning in
front of the store and it is the belief
of Mr.. Kicker that the vehicle was
used to transport the cargo The tracks
were followed several blocks by the
officers this morning but were lost
before they gave up their secret OF
the owners identity.
Mr.. Kicker had not completed his
inventory of the stock this morning
and could not estimate the loss, but
it will amount to fair sized sum is
his belief.

structed. 1t has been impossible to
make place absolutely complete
within so short time Diving boards
will be erected as soon as possible at
the north end of the pool, where is
found the deep water. Immediately
north Of the shoot the chutes life
line will be stretched across the wall
to warn the non-swimmers where the
deep water commences. Yet another
line is planned half way between the
chute and the north bank. Safety
first" is the motto of the management
The Water Supply.
In order to fill the pool as quickly
as possible, the citys water mains
have been tapped and temporary
pipe line extended to the pool. For
several days city water has been run
ming steadily into the pool. Once full,
the pool will draw its water supply
from Shanoan Springs. The flow from
the original spring has been turned
into the pool and will run continually.
1t affords about 900 gallons of pure
sparkling water per hour. In other
words, every "a hours 1900 gallons of
fresh water win pour into the pool,
entering at the south end. An outlet
at the north end win carry away as
near the same amount as can be
guaged.
At least three other springs are in
evidence close and in the event
the water supply from the one spring
is not sufficient to keep the water in
the pool fresh, a very little work will
put the other springs in working order
and the supply can be trebled.
Not word of criticism was heard
last night, there being nothing but
praise and words of congratulation be-
slowed upon the management. Had
vote been taken as to whether or
not the pool was the greatest eyer, it
is about a ten to nothing shot that
