Turner, eye specialist, will be in Prineville at the Prineville Hotel on Friday, August 8, for one day only. Pd. adv. Under the authority of the Postmaster General, on account of recent increases in wages to employes, totaling for the State of Oregon upwards of $225,00.0.00 certain changes in exchange rates have been approved and made effective July 29, 1919 for the State of Oregon. The changes in rates apply particularly to residence service, changes having been made in the principal business rates May 1, 1919. All new business taken on and after July 29th will be at the new rates and bills to present subscribers for the month of August will be rendered at the new rates. The increased rates will yield an annual revenue upward of $250,000.00, but as the increase in wages is upwards of $225,000, the net return to the Company under the rates now made effective is approximately 2 1-2 per cent on the valuation of its property at $13,464,000, as found by the Public Service Commission. The new schedule of rates is identical with the one approved by the Postmaster General for the State of Washington, which has been in effect since March 1, 1919, and the rates are the same for exchanges that are comparable. We believe that no proof as to the advanced cost of living and the general high costs prevailing for labor and materials is necessary- and that the telephone-using public will accept this increase in rates in the same spirit of fairness and consideration as it has the advances in almost every other necessity in these unusual times. fc.iail!.-'..-.'
