Some Kick 5Against All Public Service, Protest of Stovall Salem. April 1. -If the Oregon pub lie service commission has undertaken to settle all the personal and class dif ferences involved in the various prob lems brought before that body it might as well quit now and leave the task for Saint Peter to finish. That, at least, is the opinion of Dennis H. Stovall, well known short story writer who makes h,8 home at Philomath, Bemon county. Stovall's opinion of the task before the state regulatory body Is expressed in a letter relative to the controversy now being waged between the owner and patrons of the Philomath Telephone com pany. "I'm Inclined to think that nine tenths of the fuss being made over telephones here in the city of brotherly love is due to the everlasting desire of home folks to kick against everything that is offered In the way of pubiic tervice," Stov.i'.l writes. "The main troub: is that we have been getting our phon; service for nothing and when the price was rais?d then a howl went up." Seattle Snowstorm Blinds Man So He Is Fatally Hurt by Car Seattle.
