J. P. Newell, consulting engineer of
the Oregon Public Service commission,
veaterdav afternoon began eubmittlng
in evidence In the rate hearing results
of investigation by engineers and ex-
Berts of plant Investment, wages and
cost of operation. The thoroughness of
this Is disclosed by the 14 exhibits in
troduced. Estimates were made upon
the basis of the actual experience of
the telephone company in replacements
made necessary In the conauci 01 mt
business. Depreciation tables submit
ted indicate that the telephone company
had underestimated the life of equip
ment and materials. The company
claimed an annual depreciation of .S
per cent. -Mr. Newell'a conclusion was
the allowance should not exceed 5.59
per cent. In the contract with the
postmaster-general the annual allow
ance to cover depreciation Is 5.72 per
cent.
Basle Charge Dressed Tee High.
Another point of controversy as a
basic charge Is the 4 per cent or gross
earnings which the Pacific company
must pay the American leiepnone com
Ynv for use of patents and equipment.
ilr. Newell testified that the allow
ance should be reduced to about SM per
cent. Mr. Newell will be cross-exam
Ined today.
In the earlier proceedings N. R. Pow
ley, rate engineer of the telephone com
pany, was cross-examined. Edward M.
Cousin, traffic expert appearing for
the city, attempted to establish that tne
tables which Mr. Powley submitted In
rebuttal were inconclusive.
Alexander Toung. accountant, and
official examiner of the commission,
outlined the general plan of auditing.
Payrolls were analyzed, disclosing that
(he Increase amounted to 33 per cent on
the average for 1918.

Mrs. Ella W. Hoajr lectures on Ex
ponents of Christianity; Words
of Paul Are Accepted.
Mrs. Ella W. Hoag, member of the
board of lectureship of the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, lectured
last evening al Second Church of
Christ, Scientist, on "Christian Science:
The Religion of Good." Her lecture
dealt with the Bible and "Science and
Health" as exponents of Christianity,
closing with a tribute to Mrs.' Mary
Baker Eddy.
"The entire Christian world accepts
the Bible as the word of God and be
lieves with Paul that 'all scripture Is
given by Inspiration of God, and is
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteous
ness, that the man of God may be
perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all
good works, " said Mrs. Hoag.
"The first tenet of the Christian
Science faith is as follows: 'As adher
ents of truth, we take the inspired
word of the Bible as our sufficient
guide to eternal life.' This shows con
clusively that all Christian Scientists
are most earnest Bible students, and
no one in the world loves its sacred
pages more devotedly. When the il
lumination which 'Science and Health
affords is accepted the Bible can be
studied from a standpoint of under
standing which makes it indeed as the
psalmist said: 'A lamp unto my feet
and a light unto my path.'
"Since those who love the book,
'Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures' are turned to a more ap
preciative and consecrated study of the
Bible; since 'Science and Health' ac
knowledges only one God, and that the
all-good: since it shows Christ Jesus
as a way-shower, to be followed in
every act of life; since it wakens every
student of its pages to the undesirable
and deceptive nature of sin and all
evil; in addition to all this it heals its
thousands, comforts the sorrowing,
strengthens the weak, instructs the
ignorant is it not a book to be sought,
and for which to thank God?
"Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer
and founder of Christian Science and
the author of 'Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures,' walked always
closely in the master's footsteps, living
her precious life of self-abnegation
and consequent portrayal of divine
goodness. She once said that after the
lisrht of Christian Science came to her
she never entered upon any experience
that she did not go to Jesus' life for
guidance and find exactly what ho
had done under similar circumstances,
thus providing the truth of Paul's
statement that Jesus was 'in all points
tempted like as we are," and establish
ing herself as his humble follower."
