MERGER INDICATED
BY TESTIMONY GIVEN

Testimony tending to show that the
Pacific Telephone & Telegraph com
pany owns the Home Telephone & Tele.
graph company, Of Southern Oregon,
was adduced yesterday at hearing by
the state railroad commission Of an ap-
Plication of the Home company for an
increase of rates. A. j. Vance, man
ager Of the company, questioned by
Commissioner Aichison, said he had no
information as to the plant being owned
by the Pacific company
The evidence, however, tended to
show that the Home company's ac-
counts are audited by the Pacific com
pany, that Pacific company engineers
were employed to make an inventory of
the plant by the Home company for
submission to the commission, that a
large block Of stock is held by the Pa
cific company, and Mr.. Vance said he
understood that 100000 of the bonds
are held by the Pacific company.
The Home company's manager main.
tanned, however, that the company is
operated Independently, and said that
if it is owned by the Pacific he is not
aware of the fact. The question Of
ownership may have something to do
with the question of rate-making by
the commission, it was Indicated.
Experts were placed on the stand by
the commission to present in detail the
appraisal Of the Home company's
holdings made by them, covering tho
towns Of Medford, Jacksonville, Gold
Hill and Rogue River. They testified
to Implications of plants and criticised
in some respect the inventory filed by
tho company.
Manager Vance asserted that the
prospects Of the company for money
making are far from bright, even with
the full increase Of rates that has beer
asked. All that is hoped for for the
present, he says is to keep up interest
charges and other expenses, leaving
future development to provide fol
profits.
The hearing was concluded and the
case is under advisement by the com
mission The first step to be takel
will be the fixing Of physical valuation
Of the plant, to be followed by an or
der defining the rates that may in fu
ture be charged.

The students have no scruples against
dances, but say the gymnasium is for
