The rains, which began falling
last Saturday and have fallen al

the bridges have gone out under
the pressure of the rising waters.
All electric supply has been cut off,

The committee composed of

the difficult problem without
success.
The main trouble is arranging
the schedule so that the Montana

He is dickering now with Me-

Hall said the league magnates
are glad Tacoma is to have a

They are still more tickled
with the idea that the team will
be a strong one and will last
through the season without the
help of outsiders to bolster them
up in mid-season.
