'i., ' ii rtM J PACIFIC PHONE RATE REDUCTION SOUGHT BY FCC Would Make Company Es tablish Parity With Other Parts of A. T. and T. Washington, Aug. IS. oD The federal communications commission proposed today to require the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company and its subsidiaries to establish inter state rates in the territory serv ed by it on a parity with liter state rates in other parts of the American Telephone and Tele graph system. The commission said the so called "interstate Pacific'' scale of rates were "unjust, unrea sonable and discriminatory." The commission described "interstate Pacific" business as traffic both originating and ter minating in Pacific territory. It added that the "interstate Pa cific" tolls are the same as the "other interstate" schedules for distances up to 42 miles, but are generally higher for greater distances. 20 Days for Answer. The company has 20 days in which to file exception to the commission's propose report and to request oral argument on it. The commission said opera tions of the Pacific system, as a whole, have been very profit able, with net earnings during the last IS years ranging from S.44 per cent to 7.83 per eent of the average net book cost of telephone plant and equipment. It added that "the record indi cates that future eirnings will produce a higher rate of return than the average for those IS years." Territory served embraces Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada and that pn-t of Idaho generally north of the Salmon river. 10 GO TO JAIL FOR TIRE THEFT Caught red handed while they were attempting to steal two tires and other automobile parts off the Commercial Finance used car lot at 246 North River side avenue early this morning.

The state was grant ed 20 days in which to file briefs, and the defense the same period. The state contends the wing dam, constructed to furnish wa ter for the pivined new power plant, reduces the flow of the river to 125 second feet, which it is held, is insufficient water for the steady migration of fish. Expert testimony contended the dam would cause the fish to congregate in the tail-race. In stead of going upstream to spawning water, resulting in fish life loss. W. H. Muirhead, general manager of the cement com pany, testified a willingness on the part of his company to fol low suggestions of the fish com mission to remedy conditions they opposed. Other witnesses called by the defense yesterday were E. C. Gillenwater, Harry Newnham, H. D. Cameron, P. W. Allen, and J. R. Ritter, who testified as to the state of the water, and its effects on fish life.

And today Rogue River na tional forest headquarters chalk ed up a fire against a bee hunter. Yes, sir. Protective Assistant Albert Young reported that a fire in 'brush and timber two miles east of Ruch yesterday afternoon was started by a man or men hunting for a bee tree and ita honey. And Mr. Young is a woodsman of such extensive experience that be can tell these things. When a bee hunter doesn't know where the bee tree is, this is how Mr. Young says he works: He lights a pine cone and makes a lot of smoke.

The hunter pro ceeds in the direction from which the bees came. After a while he lights another cone and again the bees come swarming to the smoke. This process is repeated until, unwittingly, the bees reveal where their honey tree is. Then the hunters show their appreciation of the bees' obliging conduct by robbing them of their honey. Well, to make a short story a little longer, the bee hunter at some stage of the hunt yesterday dropped a burning cone and failed to put it out. That's what Mr. Young says. The Star ranger station sent a crew to the fire but it had already been put out by Robert Hughes. Glenn Smith and Mathew Ray, farmers of the neighborhood. The blaze cov ered one-tenth acre.
