ARRANGE FOR 500 MORE TELEPHONES Recommendations for additional cable and line facilities to accommodate 600 more stations have been made by Manager E. A. Beard to the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co., Beard said today. Altho the calendar year 1921 probably was the biggest development year in the company's history in the Anaheim and other vicinities, the current year is expected to make a still better showing. According to figures just compiled approximately 250 new telephones were installed in the territory over which Beard has jurisdiction during the 12 months, while 25 additional installations have been made so far in January and 35 applications await action. Beard now is awaiting the reports of other communities in the state to see how Anaheim's gain compares with that of others. Many applications will continue to be unfilled, Beard explained, in certain sections where there is only an isolated applicant. The development of the new sub-divisions has been responsible for much of the growth of the company's business. A crew of men has been at work for some months on a toll line to Huntington Beach and making repairs to existing lines. Another crew of some 30 men has been and still is busy in Fullerton and Anaheim and vicinities, looking after local extensions. More or less work also has been done in Santa Ana. ILLUSTRATED TALK ON POWER FARMING Dying Wreck Victim Pleads for Others WASHINGTON, Jan. 30—The last living person to be brought from the horror-pit of the snow crushed Kalckerbocker theater was Scott Montgomery. Badly injured, he had cried out to rescue his companion, Veronica Murphy, whose body lay beside him, and to help women and children before they thought of taking care of him. He was taken out and after being removed to a hospital was operated on—and died. SIDNAM SETS ACRE OF JAP PERSIMMONS B. H. Sidnam is setting out 88 Japanese persimmmon trees on a vacant acre of his ranch in West Anaheim. He is considering the setting out of ten acres if he can find the vacant land as he believes the persimmons will prove a very profitable fruit. Last year it sold for 15 cents per pound and it has never sold for less than ten cents. Another advantage is the fact that it begins to bear profitably when three years old, is not so susceptible to cold, scale and other pests, etc. He will set the trees 25 x19 feet. The trees which are of the Thalia breeding, were procured from Prof. J. M. Alcorn of Fullerton. He paid $2.50 each.

AIN DEALING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Monday, January 30, 1922 HEAD IN THE SOCIETY PRESENTS "THE FAIRYLAND TUESDAY EVE. HEAVY RAINS WILL HELP RANCHER No Damage Bul Much Benefit for Growers Result of Generous Precipitation BULLETIN The Santa Ana river at 3 p.m. today was steadily eating away the bank at a point 100 yards above the rampart of sandbags put down where the break took place some weeks back. The bank was caving in and at one point the water was within about a foot of the top. The area affected, however, is protected to a large extent by a background of willows and brush which would stem the tide for a time. An hour's work would remove all danger.

Ward, deputy internal revenue collector will be at the Anaheim city hall Feb. 8-9 to receive income tax returns and to assist in their preparation. "It will facilitate matters if the taxpayers will have their returns filled out so that they may be checked and acknowledged without unnecessary delay." Ward writes the Plain Dealer. "How ever, I will be glad to assist any who are troubled and interpret any part of regulations not thoroughly understood. Taxpayers should come as early as possible." "Any taxpayer in doubt as to liability for filing a return should consult me as liability for filing return may exist even though he has no tax to pay." H. V. HAWS BUYS FINE ORANGE GROVE H. V. Haws, of 222 East Alberta-st Only one more night until the anticipations of the public may be realized in witnessing the drama, "The Great Galeoto," which will be presented by the Lance and Lute Dramatic society of U. S. C., tomorrow evening Fairyland theatre. The author, Echegaray, is considered one of the greatest playrights of the nineteenth century, and the "Great Galeoto," is termed an opera-making drama. The chief character, the chattering public, with its bple kossip, is delineated in the play as a very harmful, altho innocently so, character. The action in each plot leads the spectator to preparation for the dramatic close of the play. In the old Arthurian romances, Galeoto was the go-between for Gwenviere, Lancelot and King Arthur. Galeoto never meant to start trouble, still by his unconscious doings was the cause of much misery. Similarly, according to Echegaray, idle talk is the great Galeoto of the present-day society, the great go-between the public and the individual. "It usually starts with a lie," says the dramatist, "then is followed by complication, and in the end we find that there is a grain of truth in the whole affair." How true it all is, for often times we are speaking of our friends, our neighbors and what we know has been picked from the lips of tale-bearers, and in the end we learn that there is a truth in the whole matter. NEW AUTO SECTION WARMLY RECEIVED Automobile agencies and garages gave a warm reception to the first of the weekly automobile sections of the Plain Dealer, issued on Saturday. The relief appeared to be general that a reed was being filled and that the plan of keeping the public informed was of mutual benefit to buyers and drivers. Rain records of Anaheim and other towns in the northern part of the county in comparison with this date last year were broken again fo day, following the storm of Sunday and today; some telephone lines were put out of operation here and elsewhere; and ditches which the Southern Counties Gas Company is digging, including the one from North Lemon street eastward were flooded. But the roads were reported to be in better condition at some points than last night, and the river was reported to be holding firmly against the rising water. There was from one to three feet of water at points on the highway, north of the San Gabriel, last night. Secretary Malcolm Fraser, A. Bayliss who looked after the improvement for the town when the temporary embankment was laid, George Weatherly, and others, were on the scene today, and returned confident that there would not be another break. The streams of water down Broadway east of Olive and other streets, were not from the river. South Los Angeles street, which received most of the stream, was flooded as much as before near the Southern Pacific tracks, but no harm will result. The railroads are operating trains as usual. Thirty telephone lines were out of commission today in Anaheim, Manager E. A. Beard of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company's local offices reported. Beard estimated that other points of the county were similarly and proportionately affected. Toll lines out of here are in normal operation. The present rain will do more good than harm, in the opinion of Manager G. W. Sandilauds of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n. The water will be of particular benefit, he added, to groves irrigated during or just previous to the recent cold spell. Sandilands said he never remembers, in 29 or 30 years, a winter presenting such a variety of extreme types of weather as this winter. Manager W. H. Schurerman of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Ass'n., said that the only damage, practically speaking, from the storm was possibly due to the wind which accompanied the rain. Schurerman has H. V. HAWS BUYS FINE ORANGE GROVE H. V. Haws, of 222 East Alberta-st has purchased the ranch of W. E. Porter on Chapman-ave east of Orange. The grove is almost all bearing both Valencias and lemons. There is a beautiful seven-room strictly modern house on this grove, which, it is said, came thru the late cold snap without damage. The consideration is understood to have been $4,500 an acre. Mr. Haws moved his family to the ranch today. He can drive to Anaheim in 30 minutes and considers himself lucky to be located no close to the city he loves. The sale was made by James E. Stewart, Anaheim realtor, who also consumed the deal reported in the Saturday Plain Dealer whereby D. M. Peshak of Anaheim exchanged his 10-acre Broadway grove to Adam Sipple of Los Angeles for a beautiful duplex house. The property involved in the latter deal amounted to between $60,000 and $70,000. Mr. Stewart says that his office has had more calls for both city and county property since the cold snap, and predicts a very busy year in real estate. WILL CONTINUE SEARCH FOR POLE LONDON, Jan. 30—The Antarctic expedition headed by Sir Ernest Shackleton will continue on its way toward the south pole despite the death of its leader.

Napier, advertising expert and merchandising counsel of Santa Ana, and his subject will be "Co-operation." The year's NEW AUTO SECTION WARMLY RECEIVED Automobile agencies and garages gave a warm reception to the first of the weekly automobile sections of the Plain Dealer, issued on Saturday. The belief appeared to be general that a need was being filled and that the plan of keeping the public informed was of mutual benefit to buyers and sellers. "It is a splendid proposition," said George Dunton, Ford agent, "and very helpful. The matter presented was interesting to the public and beneficial to the dealers." "It was a very creditable effort," said a representative of the Studebaker agency of Harry D. Riley. "The effort was commendable, and the result good. The advertisements appeared to be comprehensive and appropriate." "We've been wanting to see just that sort of thing for a long while," said Bill Goodrum, proprietor of the Anaheim Auto Co., agent for Buick cars. "Do you approve of a weekly edition such as we plan?" Goodrum was asked. "I certainly do." He said. "The results from a weekly advertisement are more satisfactory than from an 'ad' at long intervals." AUTO TRADE ASSN. CALENDAR IN FEB.
