Bowen, professor of military sci ence and tactics at the university, from the commanding officer at Camp Zach ary Taylor. Colonel Bowen, who Is re ceiving applications of Oregon men for admission Into the central officers' training camps. Is instructed to, continue to accept applications for thte' artillery school from men who have been drafted, including those who have been called fori service,, when, in his Judgment, such men are promising candidates for com missions.

Ajipllrantt to Be Called Soon Pointing out that It has been called to the attention of officers of the ar tillery training school that many busi ness men are hesitating to apply for ad mission to the school because tiey can not tell definitely when they will b called to take up their training.

FEDERAL FIXING OF RATESFOR THE LOCAL UTILITIES OPPOSED In Letter to National Commission F. J. Miller States That State Should Fix Rates. Salem, Aug. 6. "We do not believe that the federal government should as sume to fix rates for local utilities, nor do we believe It In the -best Interests of the public that they should do so or that the public would favor such -a pro cedure," declares Frank J. Miller, chair man of the Oregon public service com mission, in reply to a query propounded by Charles E. Elmquist, secretary of the national association of railway and util ities commissions. . Mr. Elmquist asks whether local au thorities are able and willing to make rates that will permit utilities to be ef ficiently maintained during the war. Chairman Miller's answer is : "If by local authority, you mean local officers of cities and towns, we would say that they have no Jurisdiction in these utility rate cases unless the util ity Is municipally owned or operated, nor do we find them generally willing to per mit an Increase In rates of privately owned utilities so as, to maintain them ef ficiently during the present abnormal conditions, but such Increased rates are usually opposed vigorously." In another letter written to Mr. Elm quist, Chairman Miller says that the railroads under federal control have vio lated numerous orders of the Oregon commission relative to rates which were increased by order No. 28 of the director general. He cites the state laws which provide that intrastate rates once fixed by the commission xannot be changed except by order of the commission, and says that no tariffs have been filed with the commission wherein rates were In creased In accordance with order No. 28. He also cites the state iaw which au thorizes the commission to fix demur rage and reciprocal demurrage charges, but limits such charges to S4 per day. "The order of the administration In creasing these charges is, therefore, in conflict with this provision of law," as serts Chairman Miller. July Receipts Large Salem, Aug. 6.
