NOTICE..

ClOn Will please take notice that,
for the purpose Of putting in the
new 500 drop switchboard, which
has just been receiv ed, we will be
obliged to stop our service at 8
O'Clock on Saturday night, the
Oath inst, and hope to be able to
begin service again on Monday
at 8 A. NJ. In this connection l
would respectfully ask the SUBJ
scribers to be little patient with
the operators, during the first
months service, with this new
board, las the operating of it differs,
to some extent, from that of the
board now being discarded,
and the operators must have a
reasonable time to acquire prof.
cheney in the new order of it's ma
nipulation.
While the new board is far SUI
perior to the old one, and is real
ly faster operating board in it's
construction, it will prove to us a
slower board for some months,
owing to the increased number Of
telephones which it serves, neces-
stating a trunking system, instead
of the system of direct connec-
ton, as is the case with the old
board.
| hope our patrons will pardon
me, but feel it duty to them to
call their attention to the fact that,
if they want prompt and reliable
service, they should be prompt in
answering their telephones, and
in using the telephone they should
turn their faces towards the instru-
ment and talk in natural tone of
voice, within one or two inches of
the transmitter, and, above all,
when they are through, they should
not forget to ring off, push the
crank in and give it one vigorous
turn, this saves a great deal of
time at the central Office, then
again it is important to you, as
there may be another person
waiting to talk to you, whom you
will hold hold by not ringing off.
l earnestly request our subscrib-
ers to telephone any complaint,
against the service, to my Office, at
| once on it's occurance, and not
wait until the following day, or
several days.
would ask your kind consider
alton for the operators in the cen

to please you.

AN EVEN SWAP.
Changes i'm the State Library and
Executive Departments.

The changes in certain State depart
ments decided on recently by Governor
Budd were inaugurated yesterday by
the acceptance of Private Secretary Nc
Cabe's resignation as Private Secretary,
and the appointment of Peter J.
Shields to the position heretofore held
by Mr.. McCabe.
The latter, by the late action of the
State Library Trustees, becomes State
Librarian, and DR.. Matthews, who has
filled the latter office since the death of
Dana Perkins, has already been elected
Secretary Of the State Board of Health.
The gentlemen all seem to be we'll
qualified for the duties of their reSpec-
tive positions, and the general swap
should not result in the weakening of
any of the offices. Mr.. Shields has been
Deputy Librarian and more recently
Secretary of the Code Commission. He
is a lawyer, and should make a very eff
ficient Secretary to the Governor.
Under Mr. McCabe's management the
State Library will be in good hands,
and there can be no doubt of DR.. Matth-
ews' qualifications for the Secretary
ship of the State Board of Health.

sided at yesterdays session of the Ex-
ecutive Committee of the State Anti
Debris Association in the absence of
Chairman jenkins of this county who

ton in Los Angeles. Secretary Robert
Cosner of Colusa was in his accustomed
place.
The reports of the watchmen, submit
ted by Manager Phipps, are to the effect
that the Yuba River continues to be
damaged by hydraulic mining. Many
of the restraining dams do not hold
back the debris, which passes through
and over them into the streams.
The condition of the litigation in prog
ress against violators of the law was
explained by the associations attorney,
Robert T. Devlin. He had secured an
injunction by the Superior Court of
this county against the persons operat-
ing mine on TIM North Fork of the
American River and the Bear River.
There are still some cases pending in
the United States Court in San Fran
cisco.
Remarks were made by United States
Surveyor General w. S. Green of Co
lusa concerning the Importance of
pushing along the work contemplated
by the new law providing for the dredg-
ing of the Sacramento River. He urged
that the Anti Debris Association,
through its Executive Committee, do
everything in it's power to help along
the good work, which he declared was
the most important ever provided for
by the Legislature.
