The Oran VOL. XXI, No. 97. EPISCOPAL CHURCH WILL BE IMPROVED ANNOUNCES PASTOR The 16th annual banquet of the Anaheim Board of Trade was a whoop-er-up success last night, from the first course of the delicious re-past, served by the gracious ladies of the Eastern Star, to the last number on the program, some real banjo music by Joe Sanford. Toastmaster J. F. Ahlborn, who served in place of Herman Stern, pronounced it the greatest assemblage of brain and beauty in the history of Anaheim. Since Ahlborn attended the first one of the 16 banquets, there was none to say him nay. Better churches, more payrolls, manufacturing and the harbor, were delightfully presented and warmly received. Improve Episcopal Church Rev. G. R. Messias, of the Episcopal church, responding to the toast, O. R. Prince, new president of the Board of Trade, in announcing the program to be attempted before 1920, was greeted rousingly at mention of the much needed city park playgrounds and a community auditorium. He advised against going sleep, either as a community or nation. Lew Wallace, of Newport, was assured hearty support for an Orange co harbor. Program by Bayliss The entire program, arranged by A. Bayliss, showed unusual care and thought in preparation, and the toastmaster voiced the sentiments of the large gathering which practically filled the banquet hall when he extended a vote of thanks to all who had assisted, including those who had furnished the music.

The community operas "The Milk do," which is to be presented by HIGH SCHOOL WILL GIVE AN OPERETT The community opera "The Mikado," which is to be presented by the Glee Clubs and Chorus of the High School and the Community Chorale and local soloists, which will be presented some time in April, has for plot a most interesting and plausible story. Ninki-Poo, the son of the Mikado of Japan, disguises himself as a war dering minstrel and flees from the Mikado's court because Katina, an elderly maiden lady is determined to marry him. During his wandering Nanki-Poo sees Yum-Yum and falls in love with her. Yum-Yum and her sisters, Pit Sing and Peep-Bo, who have come from school, are preparing for the wedding of Yum-Yum and her guardian, Ko-Ko. Yum-Yum loves Nanki-Poo but cannot escape marriage with Ko-Ko. Nanki-Poo, in despair, is about to kill himself when he is interrupted by Ko-Ko, who, since he attained the office of Lord High Executioner, beheaded no one and the Mikado has demanded that someone must be executed within the month or Ko-Ko must cut his own head off. Nanki-Poo bargains with Ko-Ko to be a victim and be beheaded in condition that he marry Yum-Yum and have her as his wife for a month. Preparations are being made for the wedding when Ko-Ko discovers there is a law which reads that while a married man is beheaded his wife must be buried alive. Yum-Yum fuses to marry Nanki-Poo under these conditions. In the mean time the Mikado and his suite approach the city. Ko-Ko cannot bear to kid Nanki-Poo so with the assistance of Pooh-Bah he makes an affidavit that Nanki-Poo has been killed and that tells Nanki-Poo that he and Yum-Yum may be married but that they must leave the country immediately. The Mikado arrives, accompanied by Katisha. He reads of the execution of Nanki-Poo and tells Ko-Ko that he has killed the he said that Anaheim was now in the Million Dollar Orange Class, last year's receipts for citrus fruit in this district exceeding that figure and that this year, everything continuing normal, Anaheim's citrus returns would hit the two million dollar mark. Mr. Sandilands suggested that Anaheim, anticipating these big returns, could just as readily put over the fifth government loan, soon to come, as the previous ones, and also create a $100,000 industrial fund with which to attract industries and other payrolls. Increase Facilities Thos. Crawford, responding to the toast, "Manufacturing," said that in ten days the local marmalade factory would have a capacity of 55,000 containers daily, compared with the 100 pounds of product per day at the start three years ago. He urged that other factories could be started here by local men, without waiting for outsiders, and he said there were 20 men in Anaheim with sufficient credit to launch a million dollar corporation to manufacture any one of a number of things that might be adapted to this locality. Housing Problem Acute Both Crawford and Sandilands urged that the housing problem was most acute and that something must be done to increase housing facilities, probably as a starter a public fund backing it. Prosperity Coming A. B. McCord, former president of the Board of Trade, in a recital of the events of the last year, won repeated bursts of applause when he spoke of the great history-making year, 1918, and the elimination of the dividing right of kings idea with the downfall of the "pompous pups of Potsdam." McCord believes the community and nation are entering upon a great wave of prosperity. Orange County Plains LEADING NEWSPAPER IN NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California Friday, Feb. 14, 1919.

At a mass meeting in the waiting room of the Southern Pacific depot at Buena Park Wednesday, attended by 60 to 75 phone users from Buena Park, Cypress, and other neighboring localities, the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co. came in for warmest criticism. The results of the meeting, which was presided over by President J. F. Simpson, of the Buena Park Chamber of Commerce, were: 1—Sending of the following telegram to Congressman Kettner: "At a meeting held at Buena Park, Orange-co 50 phone users lodged unanimous protest against increase in rates. We ask your influence in 70th BIRTHDAY PARTY A few congenial friends gathered at the home of Mrs. L. A.

EBELL CLUB CONCEET On Thursday evening, Feb. 20th, at the high school auditorium in Fullerton and the surrounding community as a piano instructor. Her work is artistic and of the highest class. Miss Wilson is a resident of Los Angeles, is a former pupil of Norma Gould and in her line cannot be surpassed. The Fullerton Ebell club is hoping in the near future to buy a lot and erect a club house, and the proceeds go toward that fund. JURY IS DISMISSED Unable to agree, the jury that tried C. T. Burns, a Seal Beach waiter, upon a felony charge involving Thelma Sherman, a weak-minded girl who lives at Long Beach, was discharged. Judge Williams kept the jury until it was certain that there was no chance of a verdict being reached. It was stated that the jury stood hine for acquittal and three for conviction. The case was set for trial again on Feb. 20th. and Telegraph Co. came in for warmest criticism. The results of the meeting, which was presided over by President J. F. Simpson, of the Buena Park Chamber of Commerce, were: 1—Sending of the following telegram to Congressman Kettner: "At a meeting held at Buena Park, Orange-co 50 phone users lodged unanimous protest against increase in rates. We ask your influence in maintenance of present rates and in support of railway commission. If exhorbitant rates become effective in March, will discontinue use of phones." 2—Unanimous adoption of following resolution which has been placed at top of petition and is being signed by phone users without exception in the northwestern part of the county: Opposed to Excessive Rates "Resolved, that we, the citizens of Buena Park township, are opposed to the excessive rates charged by the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co., and also protest the use of the party ring, and hereby request that you take action necessary to remedy same. "Resolved, that the secretary be instructed to forward a copy of this resolution with signatures to the Associated Chamber of Commerce of Orange-co." If relief is not forthcoming, the meeting considered as next move: 1—The removal of all Pacific Telephone and Telegraph instruments. 2—The formation of independent co-operative phone system. Back to Old System One of the actions that seem to have been chiefly responsible for the storm of protest is the assertion that with the Pacific Co. now enjoying a monopoly, it is going back to the archaic party line system, 10 or 12 instruments on one line, with abandonment of the silent, selective call system, for the old-fashioned jangling of a number of jingles for each instrument, every phone user being bothered each time anyone on the line is called. Going Backward "That is going backward," says President Simpson, "and not in keeping with the times." "We're simply going to take our phones out, that's all, and start an independent company," continues Simpson. Unable to agree, the jury that tried C. T. Burns, a Seal Beach waiter, upon a felony charge involving Thelma Sherman, a weak-minded girl who lives at Long Beach, was discharged. Judge Williams kept the jury until it was certain that there was no chance of a verdict being reached. It was stated that the jury stood hine for acquittal and three for conviction. The case was set for trial again on Feb. 25. JOHNSTON IS JUDGE W. H. Johnston, local manager for Stewart Fruit Company, has been appointed one of the three quality judges at the ninth national orange show, which is to be held at San Bernardino Feb. 14-23.

WILL WELCOME VETS The Knights of Columbus are planning a pleasant affair to welcome home the members of the order who have returned from the service. Tuesday evening, Feb. 25, has been the date set for the affair, which will be a dance and card party. Eddie Stoffel, Walter and Lawrence Muckenthaler are the committee in charge of the arrangements. FRIES BUYS RANCH L. E. Miller has sold to W. Fries a 5½ acre walnut ranch about a mile southwest of Anaheim, for $900. Mr. Fries will make extensive improvements on the property. The sale was made by Frank Baum. Virginia baked ham at the Bluebird Saturday. Going Backward "That is going backward," says President Simpson, "and not in keeping with the times." "We're simply going to take our phones out, that's all, and start an independent company," continues Simpson. The protesting phone users believe that if the need for an independent company is increasingly apparent, there will be no trouble in obtaining permission from the state railroad commission as it is believed that body is ripe for a decision permitting such avenue to better service. "If those rates go into effect Mar. 1, we'll yank out the phones," says Secretary Raymond Duncan, of the Buena Park Chamber of Commerce. The action at Buena Park is expected to be the common thing throughout the county, following the meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce, asking that individual commercial bodies and community centers of the county place their protests in concrete form to be filed with the railway commission. Yorba Linda has been circulating a petition for several days. HIGH SCHOOL PARTY The Student Body of the high school will give a Valentine party and box social at the high school this evening. All of the proceeds derived from the sale of the boxes will go toward the "Annual" fund for which the students are working very hard.
