people to get telephone service. and
whether or not new patrons would
have to take kind OF service they

Well" Mr.. Bardo replied. thank
goodness We are about out OF the
woods. the past several years have
been very trying for the reason that
We had always prided ourselves upon
our ability to make prompt installa-
fiony and. AT the same time, give our
subscribers Just the kind of telephone
service they wanted. Then our coun-
TRY went 10 war, our schedules were
torpedoed as a war necessity and the
materials dedicated 10 war use. As
while the demand for service grew

ties were exhausted we had to stop"

ENGINEER ANDERSON
ADDRESSES COM
MERcIAL CLUB

John Carter Anderson, eonsultins
engineer Of Tuscon, Ariz.. made a
short talk on mining conditions bo
ore the Commercial club. Mr. An
derson seemed very optimistic con-
corning the immediate outlook, giv-
ing some very interesting figures
regards the copper situation. The
consumption Of copper during the
month Of November he showed 10 bs
90 million pounds, an excess Of ap-
proHmately 150 million pounds over
production. AT this rate of con
aumption the present surplus, whicl
IS estimated By the United State
Bureau Of Mines 70 he stt'a le-s
chan goo million pounds win soon
be wiped out, and as the time taken

COMMERCIAL CLUB
HOLD INTERESTING
MEETING

The regular meeting of the Com
mercial Club was held in the rooms
Of the Club on Thursday evening.
The meeting was called to order by
the president, A. l.. Scott, after
which the minutes of the previous
meeting were read and approved.
Communications were then read re-
lating to railway mail service,
freight rates on livestock, good roads
and to information as regarding GER
tain mining conditions.
M. L. Lee then addressed the club
on the subject of the recent ore rate
conference held at Carson. His ad-
dress was most interestig and in
structive. Mr.. Lee showed that the
attitude of the carriers toward the
Pioche shipper has undergone a fav-
orable change, and that the way has
been opened to saving of several
thousand dollars year to the ship
pers of the district. He also stated
that the carriers seemed desirous to
give immediate consideration to any
reasonable demand in reference to
the reduction of freight rates. Aft
er Mr.. Lees address, a scale of rates
on ores and incoming mining mas
terials proposed by g. H. Snyder
was accepted as fair to shipper and
, carrier alike. The question OF a

JUDGE ORR RENDERS
DECISION IN bond
CASES

Last Tuesday Judge William e.
Orr of the district court trled three
cases arising out of the bond issues
authorized by the last legislature,
rendering decisions in favor Of the
Union Pacific System and the Tax
payers of Caliente and Panaca dis
tricts The cause of acton was the
inclusion in the assessment roll OF
the tax levy to provide an interest
and sinking fund to take care of the
bond issues for the year 1921. On
account Of such bonds being unsold
at this date the Union Pacific Sys-
tenn and the tax payers sought relief
from the enforcement of the levy.
Judge Orr in a concise clearly put
statement rendered a verdict restrain
ing the county treasurer from col
lecting the taxes in question, at the
same time the validity of the Calien-
te School bonds was not attacked.
The Panaca and Caliente water and
electricity bonds were upon stipula-
tion of atternoys admitted to be val
i'd but the tax levy for all issues was
admitted to be invalid, the bonds not
having been actually sold. Frank
r. McNamee and son, Leo McNamee,
represented the Union Pacific System
at the hearing while Miss Sarah I'M
Obersteg presented the case for the
taxpayers of Caliente and Panaca.

"Time after time since the outbreak
OF the world war, the Armenians have
made brave attempt to cultivate their
land. And time after time some new
disorder has prevented them from gather.
ing their crops or laid waste their fields
before the gain has ripened and been
gathered in.
after two years of American relief
activity It seemed last fall as il we would
be able to reduce our program in Russian
Armenia to the care Of the children we
had gathered into our orphanages. But
then came the new invasion, crops were
rampled down in the fields, live stock
was carried off, and the peasant population
were driven from their homes.
We may not be able to save an of the
helpless refugees who are now crowded
IN this territory, but we certainly cannot
desert the hundred thousand orphan
ehiidren who are now In our orphanages
or under our protection in the Caucasus,
Anatoiia, Cilicia and other devastated
areas OF the Near East. Last spring,
when our supplies ran low, 5000 of these
children died out Of a total Of 10000 In
one OF our orphanages. These children
are absolutely dependent upon aid from
America and will perish Il our aid Is
withheld.
Next year, If further chaos can be
avoided, possibly we will be able to
reduce our program, but prompt action
IS necessaIss' now or for thousands there
will sr,. no next year"

ing. A resolution to the effect that
such leeway was highly desirable
and fair was passed unanimously.
The matter OF publicity was
brought to the attention of the club
and the urgent necessity for support
ing. the Phoebe Record in every way
possible by the members Of the club.
The county printing being mention
ed it was felt by the members pres
ent that while this matter was prop
erly and entirely within the juris-
diction Of the Board of County Com
missiOners, at the same time every
effort should be made by the club to
financially enable the Record to keep
up the high standard of publicity
which is recognized throughout the
entire state, and its large circula-
tion in the east does much to fur
ther the prosperity of Lincoln coun-
ty. Following a motion which was
