TELEPHONE RATE
REDUCTION PLAN
LAID BEFORE PUC
Night Charge Will Be Ex
tended to Longer Hours
if Proposals Adopted
Sunday Toll Cut Also Aim
SALEM, Dec. IB. HAP) Night tele
phone rates within Oregon, a reduc
tion over regular day rates, will be
extended to longer hours If the pro
posals Informally discussed before the
state publlo utilities commissioner
are adopted.
The American Telephone & Tele
graph Co., of which the Pacific firm
which operates in Oregon Is a sub
sidiary, last week filed an over-Sunday
reduced Interstate rate with the
federal communications commission
at Washington. The regular Inter
state night rates have for some time
been for a longer period than the
Intrastate rates.
Means General Seduction
In addition to extended hours for
reduced rates, the Pacific Telephone
company also Indicated a desire to
make rates In Oregon conform to the
lesser Interstate regular charges for
distances over 72 miles. Thla would
require a general reduction. The
third proposal was for Increased rates
In the zone between 80 and 72 miles.
Public Utilities Commissioner
Frank C. McCulloch stated that In
detail the three proposals would re
sult as follows:
1. Extending the night reduced
rates from 8:30 p. m. to 4:30 a. m.
to the Interstate schedule from 7 p.
m. to 4:30 a. m., on week days, and
from 7 p. m. Saturday night through
11 Sunday to 4:30 a. m. Monday. Ore
gon has no Sunday service of this
type.
2. Decrease the rates In the zono
over 72 miles, to conform to the In
terstate schedule, by a total of 98,
000 a year less Income to the com
pany. a. To Increase the rates In the 30
to 73. mile tone to the extent of
(98.000. This would result In a net
loss to the company of about S28.0O0
annually.
Plan In Nelglitbnr States
The Pacific Telephone 4t Telegraph
Co. has made similar overtures to
the utilities commissions of both
Washington and California, Mccul
loch said. No schedules have yet
been filed, but both the company
' and the utilities commissioner are
making a study of the effect of the
Indicated changes.
The Oregon commissioner, before
mskuig any recommendation, will
confer with the two other commis
sions In order to get their reactions,
he said.
The Interstate night rate extensions
are now In effect, McCulloch was ad
wised. '

PLAN FOR NEEDY
Captain Durham, commander of the
Salvation Army, today expressed his
appreciation of the fine response on
the part of citizens of Jameson county
to his plea for funds and supplies
to care for needy families and chil
dren at Christmas time. "The re
sponse this year," stated the captain,
"has been very fine Indeed. We are
still a long way from our goal, which
Is supplies and money to care for at
least one hundred needy families, but
if the response continues throughout
the remaining days until Christmas
eve as well as In the past few days,
thrre will be plenty for everyone and
no family will go hungry on Christ
mas day. We are particularly In need
of canned fruit and vegtables, and
will appreciate a call from any per
son having either of these commodi
ties to give."
All baskets will be delivered on
Christmas eve but names of needy
families may be turned In until noon
6f that day. Every effort will be
made to take a basket to every fam
ily whose name Is received, regard
less of their location. Names have
been received from such widely scat
tered districts as Trail, Ruch, Jack
sonville, Forest Creek, Ashland, Phoe
nil and Central Point. In some cases,
according to Captain Durham, Insuf
ficient sddress accompanies the re
quest. Persons sending In names
should explain In detail how to reach
the family. The following request
was received: "Mrs. M., 8 miles up
creek from mall boxes," Through
the files of another relief organiza
tion we were able to trace this family
but It Is evident that numbers of
needy families will be missed unless
proper Instructions are given as to
how they may be found.
The following supplies wilt be
placed in each basket: Potatoes, oar
rots, dry beans, rice, bread, butter,
canned milk, sugar, shortening, meat
roast, flour, tomatoes, canned fruit,
Jelly, sweet potatoes, apples, candy,
nuts and oranges.
Inasmuch as other relief organiza
tions are giving toys to children of
needy families, the Salvation Army
Is not sending toys with the baskets.
All namps of families on the Christ
mas basket list are being turned over
to the Lady Lions and they will con
tact these families regarding toys for
the children. A Christmas tree and
program will be given, howover, on
Monday evening, December 33, to
which all children are Invited. Candy,
nuts, apples, etc., will be provided.

Group of Farm Specialists
Being Selected to Draft
Program Is Report
Dems to Cite Success
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. (AP)
Some Republican leaders were re
ported taking preliminary steps to
day toward drafting a farm program
which might be offered as a substi
tute for the New Deal's AAA.
O. O. P. circles were said to be
quietly selecting a group of farm spe
cialists to formulate what they con
sider a workable program.
The Washington Post said Harri
son Spangler of Iowa, director of Re
publican western headquarters, con
ceded such a group is being formed.
He declined to comment on Its prob
able membership.
The paper said there are uncon
firmed reports that former Governor
Frank O. Lowdcn of Illinois; Oeorge
N. Peek, recently resigned as the
president's adviser on International
trade, and Dr. John N. Coulter, for
mer member of the tariff commis
sion, win be asKed to serve.
Dems to Cite Success
The plan. It was believed, might
be submitted to party leaders when
they gather In Cleveland next June
for the national convention.
Whatever the Republicans do,
Roosevelt men said today that when
Democartlc stump speakers swing Into
action next year, they will emphasize
that farm Income Is on the Increase,
one of their chief defenses for AAA.
The agriculture department esti
mated that gross Income for farmers
from crops, livestock and benefit pay
ments will be a8. 110,000.000 this year,
an Increase of nearly 13 per cent over
the 7,260,000.000 for 1034.
Prices the farmers received for
crops were about 13 per cent less
than last year, the department said,
but heavier production for some crops
raised ths aggregate considerably.

BARRED BY LEGAL
ONTARIO, Ore., Deo. 10. (AP) A
gold craze, with the trails toward the
luring diggings winding through legal
technicalities, gripped the Owyhee
dtBtrlct southwest of Nyssa today.
The only thing preventing a wild
gold rush with all the excitement
and glamour of claim stklng. Is the
fact that the Eastern Oregon Land
company, owner of most of the terri
tory, placed a mineral reservation
right in all of Us contracts, veteran
residents ds Glared.
The strike a secret which leaked
out was described by some old tim
ers as the. biggest find ever made
in eastern Oregon. Engineers axe go
ing over the ground.
Workmen digging a cesspool for the
new home of i:rs. Florence Chass
about eight miles from Nyssa dis
covered the gold. The yellow matal
was not of flour fineness, as In the
gravel beds of Snake river, but In
large coarse grains, it was reported.
Samples of the strike made several
weeks ago assayed so high that a
shroud of secrecy was imposed at
once.
After the reported discovery the
Eastern Oregon Land company gave
permission to prospectors to work
the ground. Purchasers contested the
action.
Other prospectors are drilling holes
and digging throughout the area. Ac
cording to reports, some ore finding
pay dirt at from nine to thirty feet
below the surface.
Some of the ofi timers who have
put moro money -Into the ground
than they have taken out, are skep
tical and bullcve the strike only a
pocket.
But the seriousness of residents
near the find was Indicated when
A. N. Pfelter repurchased, at an ad
vanced price, the 40 acres he sold
recently.

GUESTS AT HIGH
IL
One hundred and fifty excited boys
and girls from the first four grades
In Medford schools sat In eager-eyed
anticipation at the high school audi
torium yesterday afternoon, waiting
for the arrival of Santa Claus tn a
rlsit specially arranged by the Boys'
and Girls leagues of the high school.
As is often the case, Santa was a
little late In arriving, although his
gifts In some mysterious way pre
ceded him, and were heaped under
the huge Christmas tree, clearly vis
ible to the eye of the earliest guest.
The tree Itself deserved special men
tion. It being especially beautiful and
well-decorated, twinkling In the soft
glow of colored lighra, ttn glory ap
propriately surmounted with a glit
tering five-pointed star.
During the Interim before Santa
put in his appearance (he was delayed
by traffic, It seerosl) Mildred Buckles,
president of the Girls' league, acted
as toaatmlAtreM In Introducing a pro
gram of Interpretive dances prepared
by girls In the dancing classes under
direction of Miss Carln Degermark.
Polk dances, nursery rhymes and chil
dren's games were Interpreted the
children guessing the identity of
each.
Eventually, of course, Santa arrived,
greeted with shouts of approval and
welcome from his young friends, and
began the distribution of gifts. The
gifts were labeled with the n veno of a
child, who received also candy and
fruit. Little boys were given oars
made by the manual training depart
ment, under the direction of Leland
Mcntzer, In addition to their lfts
from the tree. Noisy excitement pre
vailed, as the yaungsters hastily ex
amined their packages, some of which
were displayed to admiring friends
and others guarded Jealously, "not
to be opened until Christmas."
When the last name had been call
ed, the young guests were driven back
to their respective schools by high
school students, who had collected
them earlier In the afternoon.
Mlas Maurlne Carroll and Wilson
Watt, advisors for the Olrls and Boys'
