A case of vast importance to
farmers comes from Tillamook
County, and is of interest here
because Tinnerstet. on whose
farm a laborer lost a hand, is
known here, his daughter having
worked here years ago. The
dispatch concerning the case is
fromSa'.em, and reads as follows:
"Whether those employed in
general farm work automatically
come under the provisions of the
workmen's compensation law in
this state w the important ques
tion that will be decided in the
case of Wesley Reney against
the State Industrial Accident
Commission, appealed from Til
lamook County to the Supreme
Court.
Attorney-General Brown has;
just completed the appellant's
brief in the case, which will be
filed with the court tomorrow.
In the lower, Judge George R.
Bagley, upon a hearing on writ
of review, decided that general j
farm work was automatically!
subject to the act and that the
plaintiff in the case was entitled
to compensation thereunder.
The plaintiff was employed by
D. R. Tinnerstet, as a farmhand.
While running an ensilage cutter
on a neighbor's farm, his hand
was cut off.
The employer, Tinnerstet. had
not made application to come un
der the workmen's compensation
act, so the Industrial Accident
Commission deni id Reney's claim
for compensation.
lhe case is of added interest
because the Supreme Court not
long since held that farm hands
engaged in hazardous occupations
on farms come within the em
ployers' liability act. In event
it is held also that they come un
der the workmen's compensation
act, only in an optional sense, it
will probably result in a flood of
applications for workmen's com
pensation.
On the other hand, if it is held
that they automatically come un
der the provisions of the act. it
will present a d.fficult problem
for the Commission to handle."
Judge Bagley stated that his
ledsion does not embrace that
which the article from Salem
would indicate he states that he
merely decided that where here
was power machinery, like an
ensilage cutter, it automatically
would come under the compensa
tion act.

llillsboro. Ore., May 31. 1917.
To Our Patrons -
Shipment of our new switch
board has been delayed now
nearly two months owing to rush
of Government orders for tele
phone and electrical equipment
at the factory.
We have reason to believe that
shipment will be made in the
next two weeks, however.
Nearly all the new telephones,
as well as the power electric
charging equipment, storage
batteries, etc., are on hand so
that no unnecessary delay will
occur when the new board ar
rives. The change will involve con
siderable work, however, and
take a little time, as we will have
to keep both boards working
while the "cut over" is in
progress.
During that time, and until
operators get familiar with the
new equipment, we trust you
will make allowance for short
comings in service, should any
occur. We hope to make it up
when the new equipment is in
good working order.
Permit us to ask again, as a
favor, and as an aid to us in im
proving the service, that when
your telephone gets out of fix; or
service fails for any reason, that
you let us know promptly.
Remember, a general complaint
a week or a month alter the
trouble occurred don't help us to
locate the cause which must be
done or we can t prevent its re
currence. Please report it to
the manager or wire chief right
at the time.
