VOLUME XXXXVIII ARE ORGANIZING MUTUAL PHONE COMPANY FARMERS TAKE FIRST STEPS BY EMPLOYMENT OF ENGINEERS TO SUBMIT PLANS NINETY PER CENT OF RANCHERS HAVE DESIGNATED THEIR WILLINGNESS TO JOIN So deep is the resentment of the people of Orange county, especially in the rural sections, over the action of the phone company in boosting rates and readjusting free tolls, that steps are being taken to organize a co-operative company. This move has crystallized into something more than talk, actual work on the organization being now under way. Ninety per cent of the ranchers, it is said have already agreed to discontinue their Pacific where he acquired considerable land. He leaves a long list of friends throughout this section of the county. He leaves one son, Max Bayha, and three daughters, Mrs. A. Maussnest, Mrs. Max Morlock and Miss Hermina Bayha. WANT CAST-OFF CLOTHING FOR DESTITUTE EUROPEANS Red Cross Workers to Make a Week's Campaign. National headquarters of the Red Cross announces a huge drive for used clothing, shoes and blankets, from March 24 to 31, inclusive. Articles collected will be distributed by the Red Cross to recently liberated sufferers in all European countries except the central powers. All possible help will be given to all nationalities, therefore chapters are instructed to secure the co-operation if possible of all local foreign organizations. Every chapter in the United States is given a quota. This order was received in a telegram by the Anahelm chapter, and in response to it the committee announces that a house to house campaign for the collection of articles will be made, and in addition persons in town or county who have anything they can CULP'S TAKE S TROI DEFEAT THE STRATEGY TEAM IN STIFF SOUTHERN BAKERSFIELD OUT NO GAME FOR CHAMPION Plainly disheartened by Fullerton on Said in a game to decide of Southern California and his band of Correction parted from this city ing, taking with the one of the fiercest ever played in South game went against the 18 to 0, and while so large as that again So deep is the resentment of the people of Orange county, especially in the rural sections, over the action of the phone company in boosting rates and readjusting free tolls, that steps are being taken to organize a co-operative company. This move has crystallized into something more than talk, actual work on the organization being now under way. Ninety per cent of the ranchers, it is said have already agreed to discontinue their Pacific service and join the mutual organization, which, it is claimed, can be operated at much less cost to the subscribers. By authorizing the President and secretary to procure the services of an attorney and engineers to work out details and present them, the joint committee of the Orange County Farm Bureau and the Associated Chambers of Commerce have taken definite steps looking to the organization of a mutual phone company in Orange county, with a county-wide phone service. H. B. Woodrough of Harper and Wm. Belding of Santa Ana are the president and secretary, respectively, of the committee and are the men who were given this power. Both are enthusiastic over the project and they will lose no time in getting down to business. The telephone committee is composed of the two men named Starbuck of Fullerton as representing the bureau, and W. T. Brown of Fullerton, W. R. Garrett of Orange and Frank N. Morse of Placentia are the men appointed by J. A. Armitage, president of the Associated Chambers of Commerce, as authorized at the meeting held at Fullerton last month. The committee met recently and decided to go ahead with plans, and the first official action of the committee is the empowering of the president and secretary. Another meeting of the committee will be held this week. Different farm centers of the county have taken action in favor of the institution of an independent telephone system in the county, and at the last meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce favorable action was taken on the request of H. B. Woodrough for the appointment by that organization of a committee to work with a committee from the farm bureau. The increase in phone rates made effective on the first of this month hit some of the farmers' phones pretty hard, and complaint was heard everywhere at the stiff raise.

AHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, March 13, 1919 CULP'S HUSKIES TAKE SILVER TROPHY DEFEAT THE STRONG CORONADO TEAM IN STIFF BATTLE FOR SOUTHERN HONORS BAKERSFIELD OUT OF TRAINING, NO GAME FOR STATE CHAMPIONSHIP Plainly disheartened at their defeat by Fullerton on Saturday afternoon in a game to decide the championship of Southern California, Coach Perry and his band of Coronado warriors departed from this city on Sunday morning, taking with them recollections of one of the fiercest gridiron battles ever played in Southern leagues. The game went against them by a score of 18 to 0, and while the score was not so large as that against Santa Monica in a final, the ball continued jured lad who was led off the ground by his teammates. Referee Abbott called the captains together at 2:30 sharp. Capt. Stogs-dill lost the toss and Coronado chose to receive, defending the east goal. Meiser placed the ball just to his liking and in another instant the whistle blew and the championship game of the season was on. The ball took a long spiral to the far distant goal. Suggett, the wonder for Coronado, glommed it and started on his way. Instantly Coronado trick formations became in evidence for a criss cross was attempted which Dick Goodwin promptly nailed. In a flash the teams were at it. A wide end run was slipped over the Fullerton left end. Coronado made first down. Again the visitors sailed in. Line buck failed and then another went the way of the weary, then Suggett received the pellet and again Fullerton's left end was boxed and a 15 yard run was recorded. The Fullerton line was seen to be charging irregularly so Meiser, the husky Right Tackel, was called to the side lines for consultation, Gale taking his place. The team braced under the advice that Gale had to offer from the consultation he had just had with Culp. Coronado again plunked the left side of the Fullerton line, but the wary "Pete" had diagnosed the demand for light and water service from people living just outside the city limits is constantly on the increase, and the board of trustees feel disposed to grant these requests, wherever it is compatible to the existing conditions regarding the supply and demand of those municipal commodities. There is no disposition to refuse the lighting service to these outsiders, but supply of city water is not so easily obtained for obvious reasons. There has in very o. b. avail stock at will sup and the t heavy ening o mand in. CITY TRUSTEES ALWAYS WILLING TO GIVE GLAD HAND WHERE POSSIBLE SOME CITIZENS SEE A GREATER ANAHEIM LOOMING UPON THE HORIZON HOOKING UP OUT-SIDERS FOR LIGHT AND WATER CITY TRUSTEES ALWAYS WILLING TO GIVE GLAD HAND WHERE POSSIBLE SOME CITIZENS SEE A GREATER ANAHEIM LOOMING UPON THE HORIZON Plainly disheartened at their defeat by Fullerton on Saturday afternoon in a game to decide the championship of Southern California, Coach Perry and his band of Coronado warriors departed from this city on Sunday morning, tpking with them recollections of one of the fiercest gridiron battles ever played in Southern leagues. The game went against them by a score of 18 to 0, and while the score was not so large as that against Santa Monica in semi-finals, the ball was continually in Coronado's territory, and only the fiercest battling ever seen on an Orange county gridiron saved the visitors from a more overwhelming defeat. The game decides the championship of Southern California, and the silver trophy held by Manual Arts was turned over to Captain Stogsdill, who bore it off in triumph at the head of his team. While Coach Culp hoped for a game with Bakersfield, to decide the State championship, the committees in charge of football in Northern and Southern California decided that inasmuch as Bakersfield was out of training it would be unfair to them to play the husky Fullerton eleven. The game was the thirteenth played by Fullerton, which won eight battles, tied in two, and lost three, one in an exhibition contest with the semi-professional Whittler team, which held U. S. C. to a tie score. One of the ties was with Pomona, in which Fullerton scored more touchdowns than the visitors,' but these were disallowed on technical grounds, by the referee, over Coach Culp's protest. The game marks the close of one of the longest football seasons in the State. The northern teams decided their championship before Christmas, as they were not so badly interfered with by influenza as a number of the Southern California teams. Consequently the strong Fullerton eleven will not be again seen on the gridiron, and thus one of the strongest high school football elevens in the State will pass out of existence. A number of the players will leave high school at the end of the present semester. Some of the men will enter junior college, and U. S. C. and Pomona are eager to sign a number for their next year's teams. Competent critics assert that Coach Culp's eleven is the strongest high school team in the State this year. While the boys are bulky in weight they are speedy, a number of them being ten second men. Coach Perry is principal of the Coronado high school, which numbers The Coronado defense was superb and by far the best that a Fullerton team has encountered in the past three years. Suggett, Jessop, Thompson and Ellis were demons at tackling, while the Coronado line had Fullerton men, figuratively speaking, standing on their heads—quite often. But the Fighting Fullerton spirit was just a little too much for the visitors, and late in the second quarter Arch Hawkins again charged over the Coronado line for a second touchdown which was the only score, as the goal was again missed. With the report of the timer's whistle the half ended. Score: Fullerton 12; Coronado 0. The intermission of fifteen minutes was one of rest for the fellows. Bits of kindly advice were all that was given. Torn clothes were replaced, skinned fingers were taped and bruised heads were pasted up. Fullerton was confident of victory as she returned to the fray, while Coronado was more determined than ever that she would at least score. On the kick-off Fullerton received. At this point a fake play was pulled, and following it Hawkins made a most beautiful pass of fifty-five yards to the on-charging Dick Goodwin. The pass put the ball on the Coronado thirty yard line from whence it was tugged and tooted first by one red man and then another to the white and green ten-yard line. Here Meiser was offered the opportunity he had been itching for, and on a perfectly formed interference carried the ball over for another Fullerton score. Again the goal was missed. Score: Fullerton 18; Coronado 0. For the remainder of the contest the play sagged back and forth with Fullerton ever the aggressor, but with Coronado coming back always for more. In the last two minutes of play Fullerton put the ball on the Corr (Continued on Page 4) THE CITY MARKET The market on California navels is in good shape, the only drawback at this time being the tie-up at New York caused by the strike of the marine workers which has made it impossible to bring cars of fruit over from the railroad yards in New Jersey. As a result no auction sales of oranges or lemons have been held in New York for the past three days. Coming at a time when market conditions are in the best of shape this complete tie-up of the largest market in causing no end of annoyance and means heavier diversion of cars to other markets. F. o. b. quotations are on a basis of $4.50 with considerable activity reported. Seedlings are beginning to move in liberal quantities, although a number of the heaviest seedling districts still have a considerable quantity of navels that demand attention at this time. F. o. b. quotations on seedlings range around $4.25. A block of six cars was reported sold this week at $3.50 net to the packer. Valencias are being quoted for shipment as early as March 15 on the basis of $4.15 cash. Cash brokers report some inquiry for Valencias for shipment in April. The early inquiry is attributed to the desirable size run on Valencias, the crop promising to run heavy to medium sizes. The market on California lemons is CALIFORNIA STATE BRAZIL KETTE Number 19 UP OUTWATER LIGHT ATER WAYS WILLING AND WHERIBLE A GREATER ING UPON AZON in very fair shape.

There are but 19,000 boxes of foreign lemons available for sale within the next thirty days as against 103,000 boxes last season for the corresponding period. The California crop promises to run fully 10,000 cars as predicted in the Fruit World early in the season. Probably 2000 cars of lemons were ruined by the cold. QUICKSILVER IN CALIFORNIA Fletcher Hamilton, State Mineralogist, announces that the new bulletin of the State Mining Bureau on quicksilver has been received from the printer and is now ready for distribution. It is Bulletin No. 78, entitled "Quicksilver Resources of California," by Walter W. Bradley of the Bureau's staff. It is the first work published in 15 years dealing distinctly with quicksilver and its metallurgy; and had but two predecessors in this particular field: G. F.

It is Bulletin No. 78, entitled "Quicksilver Resources of California," by Walter W. Bradley of the Bureau's staff. It is the first work published in 15 years dealing distinctly with quicksilver and its metallurgy; and had but two predecessors in this particular field: G. F. Becker's "Geology of the Quicksilver Deposits of the Pacific Slope." Monograph XIII of the U.S. Geological Survey; and Wm. Forstner's "Quicksilver Resources of California," Bulletin No. 27 of the State Mining Bureau; though this new publication covers a much greater scope, particularly as regards the ore-dressing and metallurgy of quicksilver. California yields approximately 70% of the quicksilver output of the United States; and since 1850 has produced a total of 2,137,728 flasks (to the end of 1917) valued at $101,992,560. The book contains production and price charts which show the annual fluctuations of values and quantities, and the entire work is profusely illustrated with photographs drawings and geological maps. The section on metallurgy contains numerous photographic cuts and line drawings of furnaces, condensers, and other plant equipment. A section drawing of the very recently installed rotary furnaces of the New Idria company is included. The metallurgical work detailed includes an account of the author's original investigations relative to concentration methods as applied to quicksilver ores, which included treatment on tables with water, flotation with oils, and solution by an alkaline sulphide. The quicksilver industry, though re-extensive as some other branches of the mineral business, is nevertheless a very vital one in peace times as well as in war. In normal peace times 50% of our quicksilver consumption goes into fulminate for blasting caps for quarrying and mining as well as ammunition. In addition, a considerable amount goes into the manufacture of drugs. Some also is used in gold and silver mining. We should not permit ourselves to become dependent on foreign sources for this very necessary metal. Without a sufficiently high protective import duty, the United States is at the present time in danger of having its domestic quicksilver industry throttled by foreign competition, particularly from Mexico and Spain. The recovery of quicksilver re- One of our soldier boys who is doing guard duty along the border writes that in the pitiful line-up of slackers on the Mexico side awaiting an opportunity to get across, he observed one Anaheim boy. He did not give the name, but this city can proudly boast that those who fled from here to escape military duty can be counted on the fingers of one hand. It is reported that hundreds of slackers and deserters are lined up on the Mexican side, casting longing glances toward the homes from which they fled to escape performing their duty as American citizens. These ishaemelites are no doubt repentant and experience bitter regret when they contrast their own forlorn condition with that of the boys who are returning to their happy homes, wearing the uniform of the bravest army in the world, are received with open arms and honored by the entire community in which they live. Perhaps they realize now the falsity of Falstaff's philosophy that it is better to be a live coward than a dead hero. However, these unfortunates should not despair. In the light of recent events there is still hope. Only a few weeks ago the cowards who camouflaged their yellow streak under a religious cloak and refused because of a tender conscience to perform military duty, were discharged from prison by order of the secretary of war, were paid $45 per month for the time they were under restraint, were given a new suit of clothes and restored to full citizenship rights. These fellows across the border should take heart. Perhaps our worthy secretary will lift up his eyes and observe their unenviable plight. Perhaps in the tenderness of his heart he will order a feast prepared with the fatted calf as a price de resistance, meet them at the border with a change of raiment, fall on their necks and welcome them home with tears of joy. Don't be afraid, fellows! Come across while the coming is good.

Election for school trustees will be held on Friday, March 28. The terms of G. H. Goodale and E. A. Sparks, of the high school board expired, while William Chambers is the retiring member of the grammar school board. As all of these gentlemen have served satisfactorily they will probably be returned provided they consent to again accept the responsi- bility. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Felling and Mr. and Mrs. Jake Edwards were visiting friends in Pasadena Sunday. On the return trip they witnessed a collision between an automobile and a Pacific Electric train and assisted in caring for the injured. The driver of the auto was fatally injured and a lady companion taken to a hospital in a serious condition. The population of La Habra, according to a recent census, is 1062. This covers an area of 3½ square miles. legislators may make the road back so rocky it would be unsafe to travel it. If you do get back it might be wise to refrain from mingling freely with the boys in khaki and blue, who were not afraid to answer the call when their country was in peril and needed them. These boys have little sympathy for the coward who wrapped a mantle of religion about him and claimed his conscience forbade him doing his duty as a man, or the slacker who deserted country, home and friends and fled to a foreign soil to avoid defending the nation that had protected him. Anaheim is proud of the fact that out of fifteen hundred men and boys who registered for duty here, or voluntarily enlisted in some branch of the service, less than half a dozen proved themselves unworthy of citizenship by running away, and most of those were Mexicans. Two hundred and seventy-five cheerfully went into the service from this city, and all the others of military age would have gone just as cheerfully had they been eligible when the summons came. Those who sacrificed their manhood by fleeing when duty called, forfeited their right to fraternize with good citizens, and they had letter remain away. The man who is too cowardly to fight in defense of his country or the man who is too holy to protect himself and his own when danger threatens, is not worthy of citizenship and should not be permitted to pollute the free air of the United States with his presence. Those who escaped duty in the civil war by flight or by a religious oath, found themselves and their children branded with a mark that was deeper than that on the brow of Cain, and the slackers of the present day will receive like treatment. S. S. Collins has purchased the 9-acre orange ranch of Edward Sum- mers, northeast of Anaheim.
