The Orang LEADING VOL. XXI. NO. 89. The Farmer's Advancement Ordinance Equals Any Two Others in This Plot. R. R. COMMISSION CANCELS MAR. 1 TOLL ORDER HERE That's a nice little scrap being staged between the state railroad commission and the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co., and it looks now as if Orange-co were going to get some profits out of it. The situation in brief is this: The railroad commission permitted the Pacific and Home telephone companies to consolidate under plea of wartime conservation and economy of operation in a monopoly. Burleson Rates Excessive Then Postmaster-General Burleson last week issued orders for a new schedule of toll rates which the railroad commission and the public general has decided makes excessive increases as far as service in California is concerned, at least, and the ATTEND S. D. PIONIC The following Anaheim people attended the South Dakota plonic at Screamore Grove; Los Angeles; Saturday: Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Elliott, Mr. and Mrs. William Selman, Mr. t. Mrs. F. C. Benjamin, Mr. and I. R. R. Pember, Mr. Chas. Eygabroad, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Sheridan and Mr.ments were served. BLUE BIRD NAME OF INSTITUTION Mrs. M. E. Canby and daughter, Mrs. H. T. Hathaway, and Mrs. Robt Winters will afford Anaheim an innovation in a general catering and delicatessen business and lunch room where strictly home cooked food will constitute the bill of fare. Their place of business will be in the store room in the Fisher-bldg which will be vacated by the Schmidt Music Co. The place will be known as the Blue Bird, and there will be blue birds on the billboards at the wartime conservation and economy of operation in a monoply. Burleson Rates Excessive Then Postmaster-General Burleson last week issued orders for a new schedule of toll rates which the railroad commission and the public in general has decided makes excessive increases as far as service in California is concerned, at least, and the railroad commission notified the phone companies to ignore the federal order. Now, the latest move of the railroad commission to checkmate the phone companies is the issuance of a second supplemental order appertaining to the authorization of the phone merger, by which, notil further orders, the Pacific company is prevented in Orange-co from charging tolls between exchanges where none is now charged. The toll charging order was to have become effective Mar. 1. Whitaker Gets Order Secretary Whitaker of the Anaheim Board of Trade has received the following notice from the state railroad commission: "Jan. 2, 1919. Second Supplemental Order: "It is hereby ordered by the railroad commission of the state of California that pending further order of this commission toll rates shall not be put into effect by the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co. in the county orange for telephone service between exchanges where free switching is now being accorded.—EDWO. O. EDGERTON, FRANK R. DEVLIN, H. W. BRUNDIGE." But for this latest order of the railway commission, the people of Orange-co, beginning Mar. 1, would have had to pay every time they talked into another exchange. That is, whenever an Anaheim man talked to Fullerton, La Habra, Placentia, Brea, Olinda, Yorba Linda, and the like, he would have had to pay for the privilege just as he now has to pay to talk to Santa Ana. Saves Situation The order gives fresh enthusiasm to the advocates of free switching throughout the county. Incidentally, the order saves (unique situation which exists at La Habra, where part of the people have...) Winters will afford Anaheim an innovation in a general catering and delicatessen business and lunch room where strictly home cooked food will constitute the bill of fare. Their place of business will be in the store room in the Fisher-bldg which will be vacated by the Schmidt Music Co. The place will be known as the Blue Bird and there will be blue birds on the billboards at the edge of town on the owning in front on the dishes and napkins, draperies and on the tops of the tables, which will be painted orange and with gray as a background will make up the color scheme. The costumes of the three ladies will also include delph blue blouses. If it is the intention to conduct a place that will prove most satisfying not only to local businessmen, and this is assured, as all three ladies are experts in preparing good things to eat, but also to create a name that will be a drawing card to travelers all along the coast. The ladies plan to cater for parties and take orders for home baked pies, cakes, puddings and the like. PLAN IMPROVEMENTS John Cassou is having estimates made for general improvements to the buildings occupied by the Anaheim Dye Works and the White Lily Bakery. Mr. Cassou plans to install modern fronts and generally rearrange the buildings throughout for the better accommodation of the tenants, both of whom have enjoyed splendid growth and have outgrown present rooms. Roy Lappin, who became associated with J. F. Taylor early last month in the management of the Anaheim Dye Works, has now assumed full management for the company. Mr. Lappin has had wide experience in the cleaning business, having been associated with some of the largest firms on the coast.

The letter follows: ORANGE OUT OF PRELIMINARIES FOR SEWER PLAN Orange is out of consideration in preliminary negotiations for the joint construction of an outfall sewer by the four principal cities of the county, and if the city council of Santa Ana Monday night does nothing against continuing efforts to bring about joint effort, Fullerton and Anaheim will go ahead with the project, with Orange privileged to come in at a later date by paying her pro-rata of expenses incurred in the preliminary work. This agreement was reached Friday night at a meeting of the Inter-City sewer committee at the city hall in Santa Ana. McPhee and Tubbs, representatives of the Santa Ana council on the Inter-City sewer committee, had come to the PINNED ON GARTEN BY GEN. WATSON Mrs. M. E. Garden has received a letter from her husband, C. A. Garden, announcing that he has been awarded a military medal. He does not state why he was so honored. The letter follows: Scene of Atrocities "Am in Belgium; but expect to go on to Germany. This part of Belgium was where the Germans committed their worst crimes at the beginning of the war. Not far from here they shot many thousands of civilians—men, women, children and old men—just turned the machine guns on the crowd and all the wounded they finished with bayonet and club. "I have talked with people that have seen it done. "I have been ahead of the company for 2 days, and have to get billets for the company to sleep in when they have to sleep at nights on the floor or perhaps they get a bed. They don't move more than 8 or 10 miles a day. The Huns have all left Belgium and are back in Germany." Presented with Medal "Some time ago I was presented with a Military Medal. Gen. Watson spinned it on and said he only wished I would be as great a leader of men as I was in the battle of Cambrat. I nearly told him my only wish was to lead a cow, but thought better of it. "The Anaheim Relief Fund certainly did good work in Belgium. The people here all talk about America and think Americans great people."

NEW FORD POLICY George Dunton has received word that the Ford policy will be changed, permitting certain garages in small project, with Orange privileged to come in at a later date by paying her pro-rata of expenses incurred in the preliminary work. This agreement was reached Friday night at a meeting of the Inter-City sewer committee at the city hall in Santa Ana. McPhase and Tubbs, representatives of the Santa Ana council on the Inter-City sewer committee, had come to the conclusion that because of friction that had arisen it would be easier to further consider the construction of the outfall jointly. They said that considerable opposition to the plan had developed within the last week by Santa Ana people. Orange Bulks The resolution passed by the city council of Orange at a special meeting, at which it was decided that city would stand its proportion of only 5% for the enactment of legislation necessary to make the project possible, and the action of the Anaheim city council will withholding its endorsement for the engaging of a special attorney, convinced the committee that it would be impossible for the project to be put over. It developed at the meeting Friday night that the Anaheim council had given its committee a free hand to fall in with the action of the majority of the committee, and this brought the proposition out in a different light. The committee was sent to the meeting without its hands being tied by any formal resolution of the council. Anaheim Ready Trustees Backs and Dwyer were in attendance and they gave assurance that Anaheim was sincere in its efforts to have the four cities join in the project, and its principal objection to a contract employing Attorney Bishop was that under the resolution providing for his employment, it is stipulated that payments for his services should be made quarterly over a period of two years. The council felt that completion of the plans might be delayed beyond that period, in which event additional compensation might be required. The Anaheim men wanted to change the resolution so as to make the last payment some time after the system is completed. It was explained that the resolution was merely a formal action of the committee, and that NEW FORD POLICY George Dunton has received word that the Ford policy will be changed, permitting certain garages in small towns where there is no authorize Ford agent to handle regular Ford and hang out the Ford sign. This is being done to save the public from spurious Ford parts, says the announcement.
