national headquarters or the order
would not have been sent out, From
this source OF information IL was learn
ed that there would be no question but
that the vote TO strike would carry by

were against a strike until full author

received.

THE water question is becoming
very serious in some portions of the
city. Especially is this the case in
the suburbs or sections beyond the
water service connections, and where
the people have TO depend upon wells.
In the west part OF town. from Eighth
and Ninth streets TO the corporation
limits. almost every well is dry, or so
nearly dry, that it will no longer af-
ford sufficient water for one family $
household use and in many cases hall
dozen or more families depend FOR
their supply on one well in the neigh
borhood. The result is that even the
best wells are kept constantly drained.
Those having horses and cows find IT
almost impossible to get enough water
for them without driving them to the
river"

SPORTS

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-The cival managers who will pilot the various teams of the Pacific Coast League this year and match wits and base ball knowledge in the race for the flag are well known to followers of baseball and each has the confidence of the communities which he repre- sents. One of the often answered but still unsolved problems ofathlet- ics is the question; how much does I manager count for in the results achieved by the team? The men who will guide the destinies Of the Pa cific Coast League this season are ::
 San Francisco Charles Graham.
 Salt Lake City-Ridie Herr
 Los Angeles" Red" Killifer.
 Vernon William Essick.
 Walter McCredie.
 Oakland -eDell Howard.
 Sacramento-W Rogers.
 Seattle-W. J. Clymer
 Herr, who is managing the Salt Lake team is a former scout for the St. Louis Club and a new arrival among Pacific Coast managers. That Herr has his work cut out for him in the matter of getting a team to getner nay be inferred from an ar tice in Salt Lake City paper which ,tated he only thing needed by the local club was players. The presen; urgent needs of the Salt Lake Club ire said to be three outfielders, a second baseman, a high-class pitcher and a first string catcher.
 As matter of fact. the predica ment of Herr is identical with that of practically all the other managers at the present time. Each is con fronted with the problem of finding two, three or more players who arc capable of strengthening acknow ledged weak points in the various clubs. Players who are picked ul now are as likely as not to be dis carded after tryout of day ol two during the, preliminary training season. On the other hand player will unexpectedly be uncovered af ter the start of the regular playing season who will make good and pla. regularly throughout Preseason spec ulation, however, has become par and parcel of the game for the base ball enthusiast.

FATTY ARBUCkLE
 AT THE COLISEUM THIS EVENING

The Coliseum ought to draw to- night with Fatty Arbuckle in Good Night Nurse" and one of those Western pictures, Wallace Reid in "Rimrock Jones'" the Arizona miner
 The Fatty Arbuckle comedy deals with the fortunes of bon vivant who spends a night out and gets delight hours of the morning, when he starts for home, where an angry wife is awaiting him. He meets with fel- low bon vivant and the two have some interesting adventures, the re, suit being that Fatty" is >immured in a sanitarium by his wife.
 In the sanitarium he meets with other adventures, including a meet ing with a girl patient who believes herself to be a mermaid. When she takes him into her confidence, there is something doing every minute. One laugh follows the other, so that one is apt himself to seek a sanitarium after seeing the comedy MT. Ar buckle is supported by Al St. John, Buster Keaton and Alice Lake,-all comedians of the highest merit.
 "Rimrock Jones'" Wallace Reid's latest Paramount production, is a picture which will appeal to every one from one angle or another. There is the rough, wild and woody stuff that delights and thrills school girls, and there is the society life and scenes in New York's famous hotels which appeal to the older women, as well as the always strong virile characterization work of Wallace Reid
 AS "Rimrock Jones'" the Arizona copper miner, he adventures through the photoplay, winning out in the end with the help of pretty Ann Lit tie, who plays the part of Mary For tune, a deaf stenographer. The ex- cellent supporting cast includes Charles Ogle, Guy Oliver Ernest Joy and ting George Kuwa, the laugh able and likeable Japanese player who has appeared so often recently in Paramount productions, notably those of Sessue Hayakawa.

TRADING POST IN PLAY

A world of romance is centered around the trading poscts of the far North Many have wondered what they really look like and in the new play. "The Girl with the Champagne Eyes" that William Fox has made and in which Jewel Carmen is the star, one is shown that is true to life, which is the next feature that will be shown at the Palace.
 Great care was taken to make real this scene in which men from the known world met the men from that which was unknown. There is a rough, picturesqueness about these places that does not fail to attract. It is here that the girl of the play who had been a criminal in the land where her kind are so mercilessly hunted, begins her period of reforma- tion and becomes the clean and pure element among those who are, for the most part, desolate.
