"I have had considerable experi ence in handling bodies," said the coroner,. "I do not believe there was enough heat on the body In the wreck to cauae it to swell or shrink. The body could be extended by gas and caused to swell. The body could continue to swell for several days. The toe nails on the body were well kept and appeared turned tinder. This might have been caused by the heat. There were no marks of iden tification on the body that I could Owing to the fact that the jury had viewed the body.

The Initial printed forms were on hand and a general scheme of operation was pretty definitely formulated, altbo there are some serious problems yet to be solved. 'It is doubtful If many people realize the magnitude of the task said one of the membors. "Every step in the undertaking has to bo weighed with care and deliberation. Wore our ouly problem thai or a cash bonus, our task would be quite simple. But tbe loan feature Is something quite new and where the loan Is made on such a narrow mar gin as 76 per cent of the value of the security caution has to be tak en. Shortest Delny Is Vrged.

Or.. July 19. Reuearing of the telephone rate case before the state public service commission was enlivened today by tilt between at torneys representing tne paciiio toie phone and Telegraph company and those representing the people. A feature of the day' session was the examination by Miss Cecilia Gavin, city attorney of The Dalles, of her father John flavin, pioneer lawyer ot The Dalles. Questioned by his daugh- er he told of telephoning conditions his home city. The young woman lawyer could not sunnress a smile when her father took the stand and she asked him what his name wss. where be lived tnd what his business was. All of these Questions he answered without hint of a smile and as If be were an ultor stranger to his questioner. Included In his les:ltnony was the story of how the Oregon Telephone ompany, last predecessor or tne ra- lflc company, and which, according o attorneys representing the public waa an arm of the American loie nhone and Tcloxranh company, had mado an offer of free telephones as ong as there was no competition In ho cltv. This offer, the wl'nu.u averred, practically put the coinpet ng concern out of business.

I was kept leal, however., and refused lo nke out my old phone. I said Ihe timet might come when one phone might co.t as much as two. I was true prophet, for the time Is now here when wo pay more."
