NOT JUSTIFIABLE, I SAYS EASTERNER , H j Present coat j of maintenance and I operation of telephone service would I not justify a reduction' of rates to I phone users In Oregon, according" to fN. T. Guernsey of New York, -vice I president and general counsel of the ! American Telephone & TelegTaph com I pany. -who visited Portland today. I Guernsey is on his way to San Pran- else to attend the annual convention of the American Bar association,;. where he is scheduled to deliver an ad i dress on the problems of public serv ice corporations. Rapid increase in the population of Pacific coast communities makes it ! necessary for the telephone company : to prepare In advance for financing 1 installation of mew equipment, Guern sey stated, and much of the material i now being; installed was purchased two j or more years ago. ' fc: XT T T7 E M A TV Y TI IP A "Excellence of service is the es I sence of life to the American Teje l phone & Telegraph company," Guern J sey averred, " and if the company is to meet the demands of the public the I installation of new equipment must be I rapid anil constant." . The company has spent more than I $3,000,000 in Portland during the past year and is investing more than $1,500,000 in the new plant at East 24th J and Stanton streets in Irvington. Ag- I gregate expenottures tnrougnoui me country exceed $400,000 daily, accord ing to Guernsey, or in excess of $120. 000,000 annually. Cost to the average householder for dingle party phone service in Portland wouLd be $4.50 p?r month, or about 15 cents per day. it was pointed out, and Guernsey expressed the opinion that this charge was low in comparison to the convenience of phone service. FAIB TREATMENT "The average man is fair minded and wants to pay a fair price for any service rendered. The public, however, has a right to know and ought to know whether ft is being fairly treated by the service corporation." said Guern sey, "and the American Telephone & Telegraph company Is willing to fur nish any Information asked by public service commissioners or other repre sentatives of the public at any time." Guernsey first visited Portland . in 1898, -when the city had a population Of 90,000. The next visit was in 191$, when the population had more than doubled. Surveys prepared by the ;. company's engineers for the purpose of anticipating demands of telephone service show a probable population of j 1,000,000 in Portland in ll'J". j Common User Can j Be Enforced Upon j Roads, Rules I.C.C, f Salem, Or..

Poincare Is Due to Put Cards on Table At Monday Meeting By Pasl Scott Mewrer (SpecUl Cable to Tbe Journal and th Chleato Daily News (Copjrricht, 1022) Paris, Aug. 5. Monday's meeting be tween Premier Poincare and Prime Minister Lloyd George premises to be the most important Franco-British con versation which has taken place since the war. If an agreement on the rep arations question Is found Impossible France will almost certainly drift rap idly toward a policy of completely in dependent action toward Germany a policy the sole aim of which would be to recover as -much Indemnity money as possible from Germany .by any means whatsoever. However, it is hoped that an agree ment will be reached. The Poincare plan is still being kept secret but probably follows closely the lines pre viously Indicated in these dispatches. The Balfour note modifies the situa tion somewhat but not entirely. Great Britafil reserves a part of the war pay ments equivalent to the British debt to the United States, but is apperently ready to discus the abandonment of all dues in excess of this sum. The French consider the stabilisa tion, of the German mark and allied control of German finances as tho most Important-point at issue and be lieve that an agreement can be reached in tills respect at least.

In response C. C Scott sent 25 men Into the Oregon Timber company holdings, about eight miles south of Westport, and 30 men Into the Maples section, on the Nehalem river in Til lamook county. Scott was informed by wire that both fires had broken out anew. Whether these fires were actually burning in green Umber was not stated.
