R. R. COMMISSION HOLDS UP BOOST IN PHONE RATES Local phone users are much interested in a dispatch from Sacramento, in morning papers, to the effect that the state railroad commission does not recognize in California the orders of Postmaster-General Burleson which in many instances greatly increase long distance phone rates. The commission has ordered telephone officials in the state to appear before it and show why the new federal orders should supersede those of the commission. Holdup Rates In the meanwhile, the commission orders the phone companies to desist from charging the additional rates authorized in Burleson's orders. There has been considerable opposition voiced here by phone users. FIRE ON SAME BOAT Dick Rasmussen, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Rasmussen, who is fireman on the U.S.S. Beaver, arrived at San Pedro last week from a trip to Panama. Dick is trying to get a turlough, but doesn't know whether he will, as they expect to sail again soon.

He was brought to the Sanitarium here for treatment and is now at life home. phone officials in the state to appear before it and show why the new federal orders should supersede those of the commission. Holdup Rates In the meanwhile, the commission orders the phone companies to desist from charging the additional rates authorized in Burleson's orders. There has been considerable opposition voiced here by phone users who say the new charges are excessive. They point out that in place of the present toll rate of a person to person call Anaheim to Los Angeles of 15 cents plus 5 cents war tax, the new rate for a number to number call would be 32 cents plus war tax of 6 cents, totaling 37 cents. This is regarded as entirely out of reason. Should Do It Now If both the Pacific and Home companies could get by with the old rates while operating in opposition, under the consolidation or monopoly plan they should certainly be able to do it," says one vigorous opponent of the new rates.

TO RE-CEMENT WELL Two weeks ago the Standard put in 20 tons of cement in its Irvine well at Newport in an effort to shut off all water at a depth of 3414 feet. The well was tested out early in the week and shows some water. The fluid is coming in a few feet an hour. Previous to the cementing it was impossible to ball the water down at all, so considerable has been accomplished in the handling of the deep water. A second cementing will be done immediately, and it is thought that this will get all the water.

TIME IS RIPE NOW FOR HARBOR VOTE, STATES DUCKWORTH Between 30 and 40 families moved from Anaheim and vicinity to work in the harbor industrial plants at Long Beach and San Pedro, and this loss has helped local people realize the benefit which would be derived by Anaheim property owners by having such plants nearer home on harbor at Newport, was the declaration of J. W. Duckworth, local member of the Orange County Harbor conference yesterday afternoon with the supervisors at Santa Ana. Time Now Ripe "People of Anaheim have realized, especially during the last month or two, the need of a harbor at Newport," Duckworth said. "They think the time is now ripe for starting development of our harbor on a large scale, and I am sure they will vote IN NIGHT DRESS Mrs. C. A. Criss, walking in her sleep, went from her living apartments in the rear of the Great Western Coffee & Tea Co., near Heying's drug store, to the home of Mr. Criss' parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Criss, on Vine-st, east of the Santa Fe, some time between 11 o'clock last night and 7 a.m. today. This morning she was discovered on the lawn of the W. M.

SEEKING SOME ADVICE A. Alexander, down at the Santa Fe depot, is trying to meet up with some returning veteran from the trenches. He wants a little advice Time Now Ripe "People of Anaheim have realized, especially during the last month or two, the need of a harbor at Newport," Duckworth said. "They think the time is now ripe for starting development of our harbor on a large scale, and I am sure they will vote for the bonds. I believe the election should be called within sixty days of their hearing on the commission's report." That present is the most appropriate time for the county to start improvement of the harbor so that she can ask government assistance was also urged by other members of the harbor commission, including K. E. Watson of Orange, Linn L. Shaw of Santa Ana, J. A. Armitage of Sunset Beach, and L. H. Wallace of Newport. Project Maritime The argument was advanced that not only is the project meritorious and feasible and would prove a profitable investment for every part of Orange county, but it should be gotten under way in the near future, so that it will provide work for soldiers and sailors returning to the county. The commissioners declared there is no doubt but that the people of the county realize the benefit they individually would derive from a harbor near home, and that they will support the bonds and gladly pay the very slight additional taxes. Chairman Talbert of the board of supervisors said all realize the possibilities of the harbor project, and that the bond election will be called if, upon investigation, they find the time to be opportunistic. Another meeting will be held Feb. 5 when the harbor report will probably be filed. TRY TO CHECK MOTH Harry W. Lewis, president of the Santa Ana Walnut Growers Association, attended a meeting in the Los Angeles Farm Advisor's office Saturday.
