MUCH DRAMATIC TALENT IN CITY Sanford Dodge, director of the forthcoming comedy, "Are You a Mason?" under the auspices of the Lions' club, confesses that he is surprised at the abundance of theatrical talent in Anaheim. "Seldom, if ever," said Mr. Dodge, "have I visited a city of the population of Anaheim where there are so many talented along theatrical lines. The Community Players, while still comparatively new as an organization, will eventually develop into an institution that the city would be very proud of, and one of the best advertisements that Anaheim could possibly have. The organization, I find, is composed of talented and unselish ladies and gentlemen who give freely of their time, efforts and often money because of their love of the art of the theater. The company of boys now rehearsing "A Boy Scout" show marked ability as well as the ladies and gentlemen now rehearing "Are You a Mason!" I believe that a cannable cast of amateurs could be found here for any type of theatrical performance, from musical comedy, Greek comedy, vaudeville, minstrels, Uncle Tom's Cabin or Hamlet. If desired." "A Boy Scout" was presented at the Fairyland theater last weekend, and "Are You a Mason?" will be seen one week later, at the same theater under the auspices of the Lions' club.

Ritchie at Camp 33 of the Southern California EDISON CO. MAKES LARGE REDUCTION District Manager W. L. Deining of the Sq. Calif. Edison Co has received official notice of the rate reductions just ordered by the railroad commission, to be effective with meter readings on and after Nov. 15. "The present maximum lighting rate of 7.9 cents for each kowatt hour is reduced to 6.5 representing a reduction of 1 per cent," explained the district manager. Corresponding reductions are made in all other lighting rates, bringing these rates down to figures below the rate in effect prior to the world war II Street lighting rates are reduced on the average of 11 per cent, industrial power rates 10 per cent, agricultural rates 10 per cent. The total reduction orders by the railroad commission amount to $2,200,000 a year, and is the fourth rate reduction of the Southern California Edison Company rates since Jan. 1, 1921. The railroad commission this order points out that this additional substantial reduction rates has been made possible because of approximately $40,000,000 spent by the Edison Co., new water power development, together with a large increase demand for light and power throughout the whole territory served by the company, and substantial reductions in the prices in fuel oil, specifically referring to the fact that the increased demand for power in the territory served by the company in 1923 was two and one-half times greater than for the year 1911. This, with the rapid growth in the lighting business and concentration of business due to heat development of the territory served in population and prosperity, the whole territory. That this fourth reduction Edison Co.'s rates since the peaks during and immediately following the war indicates REBELS OVERCOME WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 — The remaining counter-revolutionary forces in Greece have been overcome without resistance or blood-shed near Megara, the state department was informed today.

We shall not expect the perfect flower of altruism while people continue to enjoy watching the other fellow's property burn.

M. Inman and Assemblyman Percy West announced as attorneys for property owners, that more than 25 damage suits would be filed against the California Door Co. The attorneys declared they will seek triple damages under a section of the law authorizing triple rewards when it can be proven the fire was caused by negligence. Damages are estimated by the state board of forestry at $60,000. The California Door Co. late yesterday was found guilty of starting a fire without a permit by the El Dorado county superior court, and fined $100, according to state forestry officials. "We will offer evidence to show that the donkey engines used by the company," said Attorney West, "were not provided with fire devices, and that the company was guilty of gross negligence." BLAST KILLS ONE HALIFAX, Oct. 30.—One soldier was killed yesterday, several wounded by the premature explosion of shells at Fort Clarence as guns were being fired in celebration of the victory of the Canadian defender Blue Nose, in the first race in the international fishermeg's race here. Pieces of shell showered the Imperial Oil Works adjoining the fort. Guns on the breakwater were booming and responsive roars were coming from Fort Clarence when a tremendous explosion burst from the fort. Debris was hurled high into the air. Soldiers in the fort rushed to cover. Pieces of shells, some weighing five and six pounds, hurtled through the air and landed on the oil works. Glass in the oil works building was shattered, but none THINK DEADLOCK WILL BE BROKEN WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.(INS) American confidence that the forthcoming conference of experts will be successful in overcoming the reparations deadlock remained undimmed today... despite the stern utterances of Preiser Poincare over the weekend. M. Poincare has sung the same song in different keys for a long time. Instead of disagreeing with the French government over the stipulation that the experts are to act merely in an advisory capacity, officials of this government are entirely in agreement. The U.S. senate is decidedly "touchy" over the question of America mixing up in the reparations controversy and both the White House and the State Department are well content to have the inquiry by the experts left as "unofficial" as possible. Both President Coolidge and Secretary Hughes feel that the reparations problem must be solved in the long run by economic facts assisted by world opinion. It follows logically in their opinion that the world opinion cannot be formed until the exact facts concerning Germany's condition are ascertained and published. This will be the task of experts designated by the various governments. Whether or not the experts advise a reduction in the total amount of reparations Germany must pay, now fixed at 132,000,-000,000 gold marks, is not important at this time, according to administration officials. The important thing, officials said today, is to break the present deadlock existing abroad, and to ascertain the facts concerning Germany's ability to pay. BRITISH GOVT. IS NOT OPTIMISTIC fishermen's race here. Pieces of shell showered the Imperial Oil Works adjoining the fort. Guns on the breakwater were booming and responsive roars were coming from Fort Clarence when a tremendous explosion burst from the fort. Debris was hurled high into the air. Soldiers in the fort rushed to cover. Pieces of shells, some weighing five and six pounds, hurtled through the air and landed on the oil works. Glass in the oil works building was shattered, but none of the workers were injured. An official investigation was started immediately. continued Mr. Ballard. "It covers so many features of the electric business and deals with so many problems that it will be impossible and premature to make any statement concerning it until we have time to thoroughly analyze the result of the study which has been before the railroad commission for more than two years, and which has involved not only the best intelligence of the various departments of our own organization, but of the attorneys representing a number of cities and farm bureaus of the state. To my mind the outstanding feature of the railroad commission's decision is that the $40,000,000 of expenditure for new water power plants in the past few years has made substantial rate reduction possible. Our development program for the future involves an expenditure in excess of $20,000,000 a year." BRITISH GOVT. IS NOT OPTIMISTIC LONDON, Oct. 30.—Government circles today were not optimistic over the outcome of the proposed international conference to deal with reparations, and were inclined to regard France's conditions as so drastic as to nullify the value of the meeting, and perhaps prevent the United States from participating. British official opinion regards Premier Policare's Sunday speech at Sampigney as reflecting an inflexible attitude and imposing restrictions which were not contained in the French note to Great Britain. There were several points in the French premier's speech which were regarded as obstacles: 1. France will refuse to make any concessions. 2. The commission must make no effort to reduce the amount of reparations due France. 3. The committee must agree to continued occupation of the Ruhr. It is learned that the Belgian reply to the British proposals MANUFACTURED IN ORANGE COUNTY Now supplying common gray building brick and sand.
