Jystess Alsa ef Cosapaay.
It was brought oat by officials of
the telephono company that the new
uriine rate system inaugurated the
first of the year was not put Into ef
fect aa a means of producing additional
revenue, but waa started only to sys
tematise tha long-distance telephone
aervice.
It waa asserted by official, for tha
company that the increased revenues
from the new ratea did not equal the
! increasea granted by the com
pany since the first of the year. They
declared that the airline rate aystem
Is In effect in many of the Eastern
states and In both California and
V ashington.
Whether or not the 13-day notice
for payment of telephone bills, aa
printed on all monthly statements, con
stitute a written notice to aubscrlbera

continued, is to receive full Investiga
tion by the commission. Chairman

Fred gpoert. Portland manager of
the telephone company, declared that
the Pacific Telephone Telegraph
Company has not discontinued service

tolls, while K. T. Busselle. a consulting
enctaeer. representing the Commission,
told of hi Investigations and findings
with reference to the new rates sought
to be established by the airline sys
tem. It was Mr. Shaw who disclaimed
that the new ratea were meant to in
crease revenue.
Statistics gathered by Consulting
Ensrineer Bu.'elle showed that the
new system affected different parts of
the state differently. For Instance, a
t-cent reduction waa mad between
Portland and Astoria: a 10-ceot re
duction between Portland and liend; a
lS-cent Increase between Portland and
Albany: a -ceat increase between
I'ortland and Forest throve: a IS-cent
Increase between Portland and ISrante

The new union, which has already en
rolled over BOO millworkers, la to be
known as the Modern Woodworkers of

sist the Government in the output of

0. A. C. IS SHORT OF COAL
College Heating: Plant for Two Days
Is Without Fuel.
OREGON" AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
Corvallis, Feb. 20. (Special.) The ar-
rival of a shipment of coal today per
mitted the heating of college buildings
and the resumption of class work. For
two days the heating plant had been
without coal, and many classes had to
be postponed. The coal contractors
failed to live up to their contract, aaid
Dr. Kerr today, and it was necessary
to take up the matter with attorneys
to get fuel.
A strong east wind and freezing
weather yesterday and today made the
shortage keenly felt.
CERTIFICATE IS REVOKED

Guilty of Breach of Contract.
SALEM". Or.. Feb. 10. (Special.)
Superintendent Churchill today revoked
the certificate of Misa Lillian M.
Schassen. forbidding her to. teach in
the state for the rest of tbe school
year.
The revocation was on the ground
that she waa guilty of breach of her
contract to teach at a school near Kent,
in Sherman County, for an eight
months' term. She started teaching
September 10, last year, and resigned
November 6. In her defense she con
tended that she could find no suitable
place to board and consequently left
the district.
PHONE MAN IN DILEMMA
Canj-onvllle Company's Subscribers
Would Start New Exchange.
SALEM. Or.. Feb. 20. (Special.) H.
Hopkins, manager of the Canyonville
Telephone Company, has appealed to
the Public Service Commission, saying
that in enforcing a recent order of the
Commission increasing phone rates for
his company he is apt to lose a large
share of his business.
He says a secret meeting of subscrib
ers followed the promulgation of the
order and that they have threatened to
cut out use of that company's tele
phones and start an exchange of their
own. The move may result In the ex
ercise of the public convenience and
necessity act. which prohibits any util
ity from competing with another with
out first securing a certificate from the
Commission.

Gymnastically speaking;. It remained
for the Portland Social Turn erein
to turn a double handspring- into the
treasury of the American Red Cross
with a gift, of approximately $700 for
the cause. . For the net proceeds of
the Turn Verein's exhibition, given on
Saturday at the Auditorium, will total
this amount and the 600 participants
are almost as pleased as were the 2200
enthusiasts who -witnessed their en
tertainment
When the members of the Turn
Verein prepared for their tenth annual
exhibition under the personal direction
of Professor Richard Gens-Genserowsk
it was unanimously proposed that the
entire net proceeds of the affair be
turned over to the Red Cross with the
well wishes of the organization. Six
hundred participants, from small chll
dren to grown folks, underwent the
course of rigorous training that made
the finished production truly a crea
tion of "gymnastic art.
Lla-htlns; Features Effective,
In the tablejau, "America," one of the
opening numbers. 150 small boys and
girls were strikingly posed in the form
of a great cross on the elevated stage.
As they entered the Auditorium was
darkened. Suspended above the stage
was a great electrical cross, red
globed. As these lights were switched
on and a scarlet spot-light directed
at the massed children, the effect was
magnificently inspiring, and cheers and
applause rang out again and again. A
soldier and sailor in full uniform and
a typical Uncle Sam also appeared in
this number.
Eleven little girls in"WiId Bird." a
classical fancy and toe-dancing number
witchingly costumed, proved great fa
vorites with the audience, as did an
other dancing number, the waltz
"Fantase."
Twenty-four ladies of class No. 3 in
the Turn Verein were the dancers, and
their involved and graceful rendition
was followed by a wonderful toe solo
dance, given by Miss Ethel ' O'Brien
and Cornelia Leick.
Great Versatility Shawm.
The gymnastic programme, at which
tbe Turn Verein excels, was applauded
In every number, and was lengthy and
varied. A few of the numbers were
Indian club drills and American folk
dances by the small girls' class;
esthetic calisthenics and Egyptian pos
ing by a ladies' class; apparatus ex
ercises on horizontal bar, parallel bars.
horse pole, rope and block; wand ex
ercises by the senior class; bar bells
exercises and steps by the second ladies'
class; a military marching drill by 16
boys of class No. 2; dumb-bell exer
cises by the business men's class, and
an exhibition by seniors on the hori
zontal bar.
Members of the Turn Verein are
highly gratified at the attendance ac
corded their exhibitions, which re
ceived a patronage far in excess of any
of previous years.
