was totally burned and two of the tank
steamers, the West Lothian and the Al

VIII Not Doteriorate Its Service.

The Capital Telephone and Telegraph
Company of Sacramento, not wishing to
deteriorate the value of its plant, have
never introduced what is generally
known in Sacramento as the ten
party line service" Observation has
taught them that more than three tel
ephones upon one line within the city
limits cause delays in making connec-
tions between subscribers, necessitating
the request that party call again, line
busy to the extent that it must neces-
sarily become a serious menace to any
telephone business. Time saved in tel
ephone calls is money made. The Cap
ital service is time saving" If you are
losing valuable time in not receiving
prompt service, give the home company
a chance. For the class of service
theirs is the cheapest ever legitimately
offered in the State.
