WILL MOVE TO NEW BLDG. SATURDAY NIGHT When you call central Sunday morning, she will be escorted in her fine new quarters in the modern building of the Pacific Telephone Co. on Lemon st. The building which was put up by Dr. F. H. Houck, is light and airy, affording much more commodious quarters. The building is of brick construction with stucco front of Spanish style and with red tile roof. A much larger modern switchboard will take the place of the old board which Anaheim district has outgrown and for months has been crowding beyond capacity. Universal Switching A feature of the board which facilitate service will be universal switching by which it is possible for one girl to complete the connections for a call with only one operation instead of two operations by two girls as is necessary on the present board. When a call goes into the old board, it is necessary for the girl receiving it to switch it to another girl at another section of the board. DIG UP EUCALYPTUS AND SET VALENCIAS Seven acres in the Anaheim Eucalyptus Forest Tract was recently bought by Carl Simmons who already owns 20 acres in this vicinity.

When a call goes into the old board, it is necessary for the girl receiving it to switch it to another girl at another section of the board. Third Connection at Fullerton If the call is in Fullerton territory, it is necessary to make a third connection there. With the new board, the girl receiving the call can connect with any subscriber in the Anaheim territory. A large force of electricians, line men and carpenters have been at work on the new telephone company accommodations for months until now the work of changing over, which will be done late Saturday night necessitates little more than the sticking in of a few plugs. There will be no embarrassment to service in marking the change. WELCOME RETURNED SERVICE MEN HOME Fisher's Hall was the scene of a delightful dancing party last evening when Mrs. W. A. Luce of the county road, Mrs. Harry E. Carter and Mrs. Leslie R. Wilson entertained in honor of their sons, Barney Hoyt, Harry Carter and John Wilson, service man, the two former having received their honorable discharge from the navy, and the later home on a furough from Mare Island Training Station.

The hall was beautifully decorated fifth large American flags generously donated while here and there were bouquets of red and white roses and lerns. To the strains of the splendid music furnished by Faber' orchestra the young people danced the evening hours away.

Randall returned this morning from the property of the Minerals Co. at Kingman, Ariz. He says: The one ton skip is now in operation and working splendidly. It is filled at the bottom by an apron from the ore pocket, hoisted to the top and dumps automatically into ore bins that has just been completed. The new classifier has arrived and is in operation in the mill, which is working in excellent shape and handling at the present time about 770 tons of ore per day. The ore continues to run around $8.00 per ton in silver. A dam has been built across the gulch below the mill and the tailings containing these silver values are being impounded to later be treated for their silver content. The Neal vein on the 300 foot level is proving higher-grade as the stbpe is opened up, and both the Berrice and No. 9 veins on the 200 are improving in width and mineral content as they are opened up. Altogether, there is more high grade ore exposed and broken ready for the mill than ever before and the future of the company could not look much brighter.

PUBLIC AGAIN URGED TO COME INTO BANKS AND PURCHASE THEIR BONDS Anaheim is buying Victory bonds, as done so almost to the $100,000 mark up to close of banking hours this afternoon, but not so fast as chairman McCord had hoped. The total todate for the fifth drive compares favorably with the totals subscribed by the fifth day of former drives, but does not show up so well than increased attractiveness of the present issue from an investment standpoint, the broader education of the public upon the subject of bonds and the increased wealth of the community had hoped that the district would absorb its quota the first week which would be the finest kind of advertising for the whole community.

Much Richer Now Despite the fact that Anaheim bought over $400,000 of the last issue, bank deposits show the community is $700,000 wealthier than it was eight months ago at the time the fourth bonds were offered. Chairman McCord made another appeal today to the public to respond to the letters sent out by the banks offering to assist everyone coming into these institutions in the financing of bond purchases. "We must take our quota," said McCord. "Failure is unthinkable. What would be disastrous to the good name of the district which is and derives to be known as the most prosperous spot in the United States at this time. It is worth big money to every man, woman and child in this district to have the news go out that Anaheim has again gone over the top and don it in a hurry.

WILL BACK MOVE TO CAP GUN CLUB WELLS FLOW At the semi-annual meeting of the Board of Trade Monday evening a protest is going to be made against what is considered waste of water thru flowing wells at the several gun clubs in the western part of the county. It is proposed that since the bill aimed to stop this failed passage at the legislature, because of the strong lobby maintained by the gun clubs, that Orange-co suppressors take matters in their own hands and pass a county ordinance or adopt other necessary measures to control the capping of these artesian wells. It is complained that the continual flow of water at these gun clubs is resulting in the lowering of water levels in ranch wells throughout the county. URGE VETO OF COMMISSION BILLS Concerted action to bring pressure to fear on Governor Stephens to refuse to sign the two bills giving the Railroad Commission a strange hold on every city and district will probably be made at the Associated Chambers of Commerce at Anaheim next Wednesday evening.

City Attorney Garrett of Orange, who is chairman of the legislative committee of the Associated Chambers of Commerce, has been informed that the bills have passed the assembly and senate and are now up to the Governor for his signature. "It is time for the people of this state to wake up to the fact that they are governed in more detail; more arbitrarily and more autocratically than any other people on the face of the earth", declares Garrett. "The legislature, which seems to have been commission dominated, has lately seen fit to place streets roads and highways of our cities, villages and counties absolutely in the hands of the railroad commission by these two bills. Under them the commission may grant to railroad, gas and electric corporations, telephone and telegraph companies, franchises to enter upon and use for their E. A.

But here it is: "I suppose some people—those who don't believe that grunion come out on the beach and dance on their tails in the moonlight—will scout this, but I have, after long painstaking care, trained a pet clam, down on the rocks at Laguna, to stay open until a fish comes around, then clamp shut on the fish's tail. As I have the clam chained down, the fish stays there until I can get down Sunday mornings. Last Sunday I was able to bring home a three-pound blue garnet. The garnet's meat is as blue as indigo, until it is cooked, when it turns snow white." Next! GIVEN CALF APIECE R. W. McClellan and W. D. Grafton of the Anaheim Feed & Fuel Co. own a cow jointly.
