PUT BIG SUM IN POSTAL FIXTURES Anaheim Will Have Most Modern Postoffice of Any City Under 25,000 When Anaheim's new post office opens on or about Dec. 1, the city will have as fine an institution as there is in the state for a city of this size, according to those who have seen the plan and specifications for the new structure, and one which will adequately take care of the ever increasing business. The local post office has enjoyed one of the most phenomenal growths of any of the city's institutions, and the new structure will just be completed in time to allow the organization to handle the big Christmas rush in a manner that will mean less delays and better service all around. The new building will contain 3,500 square feet of floor space against approximately 1809 in the present structure, and will have five windows opening into the spacious lobby. The lobby will be 28.9 by 25.3 feet, and will contain a large mahogany drible desk in the center. STER J. P. Ahlborn's office will 11.6 by 14.3 feet. There will be no partitions other than screens in the building allowing the post. ARMY BALLOON IN ALAMETOS BAY LOS ANGELES, Oct. 19—One of the three army balloons which went aloft from the Arcadia balloon field yesterday afternoon landed in Alamitos Bay at 7:09 this morning. Two boys in a motorboat towed the balloon to shore. The balloon was piloted by Capt. L. F. Stone and his crew, consisting of Lieut. C. M. Brown, Capt. H. V. Hopkins, and Lieut. C. P. Kane. If sufficient wind develops today Capt. Stone said he would attempt to go aloft and return to the field. Falling in this plan the bag will be deflated and shipped back to the field. DARNLEY "GOAT" IN CASE, SAY FRIENDS That Biily Darnley, manager of the Anaheim Athletic club, was made the "goat" in the war tax tangle with Uncle Sam, is the opinion of a number of his friends, who went to his assistance in his recent trouble. A grand jury indictment was returned against Darnley charging him with conspiracy to defraud the government out of war tax collected on boxing shows at San Bernardino. Darnley was arrested here by U.S. deputies and taken to Los Angeles, where he was released on $5000 bail. Darnley was employed by a man named Swalm, who is alleged to have been responsible for the tax, and who is now alleged to have fled the state. The San Bernardino sheriff is said to have declared that he would testify on Darnley's behalf should the case against him ever come to trial. However, that is hardly probable, it The new building will contain 3,500 square feet of floor space against approximately 1800 in the present structure, and will have five windows opening into the spacious lobby. The lobby will be 28.9 by 25.3 feet, and will contain a large mahogany drible desk in the center. Master J. P. Ahlborn's office will be no partitions other than screens in the building, allowing the postmaster full view of the various departments. Another feature is that when the curtains are drawn back at night all of the interior is plainly visible from the sidewalk. Instead of one general delivery window, there will be two, a parcel post, stamp and register window; the first two mentioned being located at the end of the lobby instead of at the sides. A vault 7 by 8 feet will also be installed. The building will have a frontage on Center-at, of 54 ft., against 24 off at the present site. One of the features of the new office which will have a strong appeal to most of the people of Anaheim is the addition of approximately 200 boxes. There will be 375 small boxes, 100 large ones and 25 big bins or large concerns. The new office is equipped throughout with steel fixtures with the interior being finished in enameled mahogony. The fixtures alone represent an investment of $10,000. Altho will be no addition to the present forces of employees. Mr. Ahlborn declares the conveniences offered in the new building will increase the efficiency of the present facility to such an extent that a tremendous increase in service will be felt by the city. Application for the reorganization of five rural routes has been made and Mr. Ahlborn expects an answer prior to Dec. 1. Should the application be allowed it will mean the addition of five miles to the present route. The new building is equipped to care for the postal needs of a city of 25,000, and from the rates that the local office has grown in the last two years, it is more than likely that the new structure will be pressed to capacity before many more years. During each quarter of the present year the office has done more business than during the Christmas quarter of 19190. From Oct. 1 to 15, of this year, 4944 pieces of parcels post was handled against 2800 of the same period a year ago. The office is now in the last grade of second class offices. The gain of last year's business was $7000 over the previous year, and today the gain is $6000 over last year. Mr. Ahlborn declares that this year's gain will exceed that of last year before the year's end. Today is the last day the local office has to report on the manner in turn against Darnley charging him with conspiracy to defraud the government out of war tax collected on boxing shows at San Bernardino. Darnley was arrested here by U.S. deputies and taken to Los Angeles, where he was released on $5000 bail. Darnley was employed by a man named Swalm, who is alleged to have been responsible for the tax, and who is now alleged to have fled the state. The San Bernardino sheriff is said to have declared that he would restify on Darnley's behalf should the case against him ever come to trial. However, that is hardly probable, it was said. Darnley has returned to Anaheim and will continue to conduct the local club. He has made many friends since his residence here and has offered to assist the government in placing the responsibility for the misplaced tax. While in Los Angeles, Darnley's arm became infected from a mosquito bite received here and blood poison set in. It was that the arm would have to be amputated, but indications are now that it will be saved. SELECT 11 JURORS IN CAMPBELL TRIAL Eleven jurors had been tentatively accepted up to this afternoon in the trial of Mrs. Mary Campbell, charged with the murder of her husband, Jesse V. Campbell, Balboa ollamn. The selecting of a jury has been a long tedious process. After exhausting the allotted number of challenges for cause, both sides have exercised the peremptory challenge several times. The first panel was exhausted and a second, special panel of 30 has been cut into considerably. The defendant did not appear so agitated today. KNOW RESUTS SOON AT LAGUNA BEACH Newport and San Joaquin Hills Drilling on the Laguna Olissa No. 1 is now getting to a point where something can be expected soon.

Mr. Ahlborn declares that this year's gain will exceed that of last year before the year's end. Today is the last day the local office has to report on the manner in which local businesses houses and residences are equipped with mail receptacles and all of those who have not equipped their homes or places of business with boxes are requested to do so today. Today ended a nationwide campaign conducted by the government for this purpose. The new building is being constructed by Frank G. Eisenhauer, of the Anaheim Pharmacy.

As laid down in the general laws of California, the city marshal, the treasurer and certain other officers now made by appointment of the board of trustees, are filled by a city election in a city of the fifth class. One of the big advantages offered by the new classification would be the election of a board of education of five members who serve without compensation. According to several local men, this phase of the city's government alone would be worth the change. The board would have the power to subdivide the school district, buy and sell real estate, and add school districts to the present one, with the sanction of the board of supervisors. The board would also determine the amount of money necessary for the proper conduct of our educational facilities. Altho actual change in vari-INGRAM PLANS A G.T.

Anaheim Is Most Talked About City in the State H.J. WILSON, who has just completed a round trip of California as far north as San Francisco and Oakland, making a loop of the coast line and the valley routes by auto, called at the Chamber of Commerce office to bid his friends farewell, after having conducted a very successful campaign for the Salvation Army Home Service fund. As Mr. Wilson was leaving with his grip packed, he bobbed into the secretary's office and said, "What is the best known town in California?" The secretary guessed "Los Angeles." Mr. Wilson replied, "You are wrong and I will prove it to you. What is the most boosted town in California," queried Mr. Wilson. "Los Angeles" again ventured the secretary. "You are wrong," said Mr. Wilson—"Anaheim." "Pulling into the small town of Bradley with my Anaheim name plate, fore and aft, I started for one of the garages. When the proprietor stepped into the door, he cried out 'There you are, Anaheim.' We all know you. The most talked of town in California." "Proceeding to Oakland, I stopped before one of the large stores. Entering, one of the men remarked, 'Anaheim again.' I asked, 'Why, what have you to say about it?' He said 'Anaheim is well known as a booster town and if you have as good a town as you boost about, you are going some." Mr. Wilson found that the Anaheim name plates brut him a warm reception everywhere and believes they are the best advertising factor yet hit upon by the local chamber. Everywhere he went he found that the name plate secured an introduction and good treatment. It seems that hotels and suppliers of auto accessories, oil and gas are inclined to treat a customer with the name plate just a little better than the ordinary stranger, because he comes with credentials and the supplier wants to make a good impression. Architect's plans, which are now in the hands of builders for estimates, indicate the building will be the most up-to-date and attractive four-flat apartment building in Orange Co. Construction will be white stucco with attractive decorations and embellishments. It will cover 37x64 feet and will be two stories.
