A great many inquiries have come In from citizens wishing to know why the fire alarm system was changed from the office of the Pacific States Telephone company to that of the" In dependent Telephone company. The reason is this. The local office of the Pacific States company was ordered some time ago from headquarters to have the alarm system taken away from the office, and Fire Chief Jones did the next best thing, and had it installed at the Independent office. The service costs the city nothing, and the only disadvantage at present arises from the fact that there are not so many of the Independent 'phones In use as there are of the Pacific States. 1 FIXMtA CELEBRATION.
