order mat with a general protest from
all sections of the stats affected by ths
tn crease sad a petition for a rehearing
of the order was filed with the com
mission by attorney representing the
city of Portland .and numerous other
Oregon cities, as well' as farmer,, lines.
The order granting the rehearing was
handed down on Ma.f tl. Wl, and the
rehearing was opened tn Salem oa July

"The rehearing- was asked ostensibly
for the purpose of pointing out the errors
la the conclusions reached by tne com
mission tn Order 8t, bat the attacks of
ths petitioners were directed, not against
that order, but Against the evidence by
whiea the company supported Its claims
at the healing which led to that order,"
ths commission declares. "We thus have
ths strange spectacle of a rehearing de
voted . chiefly to arguments against
claims made by the company and
already rejected by the commission. The
maneuver could have had no other object
than to divert the attention of the public
from ths fact that the commission 1
(ranted much less than the company

The ooeomiasion listened with Interest
to fl I ana tio as on technical matters by
a telephone engineer of undoubted eclen-
tifio attainments who dwelt on the ad

Every man of reason knows that no one

ordering them paid.
"Much was said by counsel about poor
Service, hot pertittoners own witnesses
showed by test that calls were answered
wtth a promptness possible only under
efficient management :
"Hours of argument and pages of brief
were devoted to assertions of gross Inef

only witness on this point testified that
bo had visited four oxohangea in a sin
gle afternoon, and based his opinion on
the fact that he found In us certain de
vices which he. thought not the best for

ted by counsel that the stockholders of

Testimony concerning farmer lines
consisted of complaints that the rates
bad been raised. It Is Interesting to
know that the Everett Telephone oom
pany, so highly lauded by counsel for
petitioners, charges farmers 53 per
cent more than the highest rate for such
Service m Oregon. . ..
ATTACK ALIO WAKCE
The commission's allowance for de
preciation was attacked as unscientific
en the ground that' no such calculation
could be reliable unless based on the
historical records of the property la-
voteed. Order 09 shows that this prin
ciple was recognized and adopted by this
commission two years before it was
discovered' in the Chicago ease quoted
by counsel.
Petitioners principal expert admitted
that SM per cent for depreciation was
a reasonable average rate for telephone
properties in the United States, and that
per cent was carried by the companies
with which he was connected. This
commission baa allowed aa average of
only K per cent
COJTTKXTI09 HOT SCPPOBTED
"Seven authorities are cited and quoted
In the brief ot the city of Portland in
support ot the claim that a depreciation
reserve cannot rightly exceed" a certain
percentage. Not one of theae authori
ties supports that contention.
The depreciation reserve has been
constantly represented aa a burden on the
ratepayers. On the contrary, it consists
of funds withheld from the stockholders
tor the protection of ths property. It
hag been contributed by the ratepayer.
and Is and always will be the property
of the ratepayer. The company is
obliged to account for It as such.' The
claim that the reserve la too large Is
eoulvalent to a complaint that the com
pany has withheld from its stockholders
too lane a proportion of its past earn
ings in order to put them into a fund tor
the benefit of tts patrons.
"At the same time that the reserve Is
said to be too large, it is asserted that
the plant is obsolete. If obsolete, 'the
reserve must fee used to replace It and
can not be too large.
AS TO WAGE BEDCCTIOH
"Petitioners allege that telephone em
ployes were receiving higher wages than
ever before. They introduced exhibits
purporting to show that wages could be
reduced without injustice. They present
ed calculations to the effect Upon net
earnings by a reduction In wages ; yet.
they claim that they have not advocated
such a reduction.
"Petitioners have presented . nothing
worthy of serious consideration or jus
tifying the suspicion and agitation
which they have aroused. Their failure
to support their oontentioes was so ob
vious, even ,to themselves, that they
peatedly fell back on the excuse that
the commission ought to Investigate the
subject and, by inference, ought to sup
ply the evidence which they had prom
ised to produce.
-SUBLIME, BIDICTTXOTJ8" V
The descent from the sublime to the
ridiculous is not often better illiiatrated
than by the transition from the grandil
oquent announcements at the opening
of the case to the feeble exenae that
the commission "ought to look Into it"
Verily, "parturiunt montes, nascetur
ridlculus mus." Expense and waste of
time are not the only losses suffered
through this needless agitation. The Im
mense resources of the state need money
tor their development For the neces
sary capital, we must compete with a
world in need. The reputation of a com
m unity for fair dealing is a factor taken
into account by all prudent investors.
MIGHT SCARE CAPITAL
"If a great and indispensable state
wide public utility is denied even the'
earnings possible on a savings bank de
posit it to be expected that new
capital will seek this field? If bitter
and prejudiced agitation 18 followed by
the denial of bare Justice, we shall In
evitably be driven to state municipal
ownership ot all public utilities.
There must be a definite acceptance
of the principle that the true welfare of
the public is best served by the main
tenance of such rates as will enable ths
utility; to pay reasonable wages to Its
employes and to expand as required by
ur growing - commnnitl. Temporary
measures will no longer avail - The doty
of this commission Is plain. Nothing ad
duced at the rehearing would Justify the
commission in doing other than sustain
the original order."

aa it will be seen in final form. The
official account of the gown is as fol

gown is an all-British creation. For many
weeks .clever girl workers employed by
Reville have been patiently sewing Into

pearls and the minute diamonds of silver
bullion and Sparkling crystals that have
helped to transform prosaic materials,

"In selecting the materials particular
emphasis has been laid on ths pearly
whiteness of the silk to be employed and
tne result Is a duchess satin brocade, the
exiuisite lustrous surface of which la
Miot with the finest silver thread, subtly
Interwoven with silken warp.
'As a general rule, fabrics the patterns
on which are symbolical, are apt to be
somewhat formal if not frankly stiff.
But this characteristic Is happily absent
in the brocade made for Princess Mary's
train.
"Rose, shamrock and thistle are there.
Bo too is the lotus ot India, the Wattle
of Australia, the maple leaf of Canada,
the tree fern of New Zealand and other
emblems representing outlying portions
of the British empire.

"Ko aown could be more becoming to
the rose petal complexion and golden hair
Of the king's only daughter, than the
white and silver loveliness of the dress
elected, the exquisite embroideries of
which gleam and shimmer through the
fine meshes of the bridal veil of tulle
and Ale neon, so happily la keeping with
the delicate character of the general
scheme. '
"As to the component parts of the
whole toilette, there Is first a straight
robe ot petticoat, ot cloth of silver that
reaches the ankles and is cut wtth sqtiare

This serves as a foundation on which
to Impose the overdress of marquesette.
