cook testified that the farmers

nora ~ not able to stand the increase
IN rates made by the order OF
March i, and had not paid, though
thew had not been cut OIL tne
lines. ., 4ho
now rates went into effect there
had been but little if any com
nIaiut about the service, but that
siree that time there had been
continual trouble. He had STOOD
for fifteen minutes at a time walt
ing for central, and had then been
unable to get her, he said, Whlie
some of his neighbors had waited
for half an hour at a time without
result. He had held the clock on
4 his efforts he said.
In cross-examination by james
T. Shaw, for the company, he SAID
that the people at The Dalles ex-
change treated him well and thae
he had no reason to complain
about anything other than the
service, 50 far as his treatment by
the company officials were con-
cerned.
Cook also said that his company
has hired linesmen recommended
by the Pacific company officials
paying a dollar an hour for the
same men that the company paid
six dollars a day. The rates on
his line had always been fifty
cents month up to three years
ago when they were raised to one
dollar a month, to cover deprecia-
tion and incidentals, but that this
extra assessment was still in the
bank for the most part.
On cross-examination Cook said
his company had bought its in
struments from the Western Elec-
tric company for S12.50 each. He
also said that when repair work
was to be done on the line he US
ually did it and was paid good
wages by his company. Ills com-
pany he said had been raised from
S4.2O to So year for exchange
service with the Pacific company
and he contended that an increase
OF one hundred ten per cent was
unreasonable. He argued that the
commission did not guarantee him
a profit on his business and he did
not think it was fair for the tele-
pnone company to be given an un-
reasonable profit, testimony which
ieo to long colloquy between the
witness and Shaw in the effort of
lhe attorney to determine what
COOK considered to be a reasonable
profit.
Miss Gavin asked Cook If he
'nought the service he was now

ROPE SUPERIOR TO LEATHER

Betting in American and Euro
pean Mills and Factories.

For 20 years there has been an in
creasing use in this country OF manila
rope for power transmission In mills
and factories in place OF leather belt
ing. In English factories ropes super
seeded betting long ago, and their use
is nearly universal. In the United
States the change that has taken place
began with the acquisition Of the Phil
ippine islands, where, as everybody
knows, the manila hemp flOurishes.
The fiber Of this hemp varies in length
from to u feet, and occasionally at
tains a length of Is feet. It is said
to possess greater tensile strength
than any other fiber known, exceed
ing $4,000 pounds per square inch.
Rope drives, as transmission ropes ara
called, possess the advantage Of noise
Iessness, owing to their hexibility and
to the existence OF an air passage IN
the grooves between the rope and the
sheath.

that he go into another room and
