ago to hear the San Carlos company in
La Gioconda."
1t was opening night, and the COM
pany's costume car had been held up
on the road somewhere. So the sing
ers had to appear in make-shift cos
tunes from the Pittsburgh costumers.
According to all the librettos, the hero
makes his first entrance disguised as a
fisherman. To the surprise of the
audience, he appeared on this occasion
in an ornate Turkish outfit-red
jacket, fez, velvet breeches.
What kind of a fisherman's cos
tune is that" whispered Slim.
After thinking for scarcely more
than five minutes, Specs replied:
'"They didn't have a fisherman's
costume, SO they gave him the next
thing to it-a Musselrnan's.

FAIR MAIDS ARE
 NOT VERY FAIR

Kenneth Hultz has heard from Somewhere in France" the precise To- cation of Russell Reid of the 117th Guard Engineers from California. Mir Reid is quite well known in Phoenix, having been some time with the Ro- maine Fielding Film company. It will be observed that this, like most letters that come from France mention that the writers have to come to America for news concerning what is going on in France. This letter was mailed De- cember 21.
 Mir Reid writes
 Your most welcome letter arrived some time ago but I have been so very busy that I have not had time to an- swer until now. I must say that you are very well informed young man. All the war news we get you could put in your eye. We receive lots of wild reports but I don't put much faith in any of them.
 We don't expect to have a very jolly Christmas as we are billeted in a coun-

try village of about 100 souls. They can't understand us and we can't mn oerstand them. The result is We have n-- of a time buying anything.
 This talk about the beautiful French queens IS all bunk; they wear wooden shoes, no corsets and they have hands that would put an American hod-car- Tier to shame. But you can't expect much more for they are doing all the work that was done by the men before the war.
 We are having good weather at pres- ent. A light snow is on the ground, the air is dry and snappy. For my part l prefer it to the rain; you don't have to dry out shoes every night.
 Just had the news broken to me that l go on guard at the railroad station for forty eight hours. Everybody in the company is anxious to go up front and get in the trenches but it looks as if all our work would be behind the lines, tough luck for us.
 Well, Ken, old scout, I have to get back on the job. I will write soon and tell how things are coming. Can't give you any real information. The censor's rules are some tight. Hoping the New Year brings you luck and lots of good things.

GRAND AVENUE
 INSPECTION BY
 BOARD PLANNED

As a possible solution of the prob lem of securing rails and other mate- rials necessary, if the Grand avenue line of the Phoenix railway is to be reconstructed or even made to con- form to such a grade as will be estab- iished in the event that thorough fare is paved, City Commissioner George N. MacBean at the regular meeting of the commission yesterday morning, suggested that the railway company could take up a number of unused spurs and short lines, and util- ize the material so salvaged in the | proposed improvement. It would place 1 the Phoenix Railway company, in the lTpinion of Commissioner MacBean, Outside the bane of shortage of mate Aisl and uncertain freight delivery. | The question of just what is to be done with relation to the Grand avenue line when Grand avenue is paved, was again brought to the attention of the city commission yesterday morning when a petition signed by more than 200 citizens, protesting against any ac- ton by the commission calculated to grant the company permission to aban- don that line for two and one-half years or more, was presented and read. The outcome of the discussion that fol- lowed was that the city commission decided to visit Grand avenue in d body this afternoon and make a per- sonsl inspection of the condition of the tracks along that street. A report on tho findings of the commission as a result of this trip will be made at the next regular meeting.

 When the petition in protest was read yesterday morning, Commissioner Woods inquired whether it were not a question wholly for the corporation commission to decide. In reply City Attorney Sloan said he presumed the

POLk GROUNDS
 QUESTION UP

Once more the fate of Sunday base ball on the Polk street grounds hangs in the balance, the city commission at it's meeting yesterday morning. agree ing to again investigate conditions be- fore granting or refusing permission for such games. The commission fur ther agreed to hand down a final find- ing at the next regular meeting.
 The matter of Sunday games on these grounds was again brought formally to the attention of the con- mission when a delegation represent ing the ball players and owners of property adjacent to the grounds ap- peared before the city fathers yester- day morning and urged that action favorable to the sport be taken. It was urged upon the commission that every 1 owner of property in that vicinity with 3. single exception, was in favor of per mitting the game. It was further ar gued that the football and baseball games on the high school campus, played five days in every week, were undoubtedly more annoying to patients of St. Joseph's hospital than the single baseball game each week, on grounds further removed from the hospital than 1 the school campus, could possibly be. l Commissioner Woods said he under
 stood that the city manager had prom 1 ised to prepare Eastlake park for base | ball games. City Manager Thompson
 said he had advised the ball players l that the city was willing to put the park in shape for such games but that 1 he had been informed that there would
 be good reasons why the park could
 not be utilized for that purpose. He said the players had expressed de-
 cided preference for tne Polk Street
 grounds. Other commissioners ex-
 pressed themselves as in favor of per-
 mitting the games on the Polk strTet
 ground provided such games did not
 seriously disturb the patients of the
 hospital.
