RECORD SPEED IN
ADJUSTING CLAIM
Case of Charles Hammons, Killed
October l, Completed October g.
Many Other Cases Voted Upon.

In adjusting the indemnity resulting
from the death Of Chas. Hammons, aged
25 years, who was run over and in
stantly killed by a runaway logging
train of the Hammond Lumber Co., near
Rainier, October ], last evening the
Industrial Accident Commission has
established new record for speed in
the adjustment of fatality claims, but
five days having elapsed since the date
of the accident to the award Of the in
demnity.
By the order Of the commission, Mrs.
Hammons, the widow, who is but 23
years of age, is to receive pension of
$50 per month during the period Of her
expectancy, which is about 40 years,
and each Of her minor children, two
daughters, aged two years and two
months, respectively, will receive a
pension Of SO per month until they have
attained the age of l6 years. To carry
out the fulfillment of this pension it
will require a reserve of $8,705.lS and,
if all Of the beneficiaries outlive the
period of expectancy the amount to be
realized by the family of the deceased
will be over $4,000.
The first case Of dependency, that is
the death of an employe who had de-
pendant upon his resources relatives
outside Of his immediate family, to have
been settled by the commission since
July J., the date the law became of eff.
feet as to indemnity claims, was that

reported to the commission during the
last three months and Of those the com.
mission has passed upon about 100
claims. There were two previous
fatality claims to have been adjusted
by the commission within II days, but
the ease of Hammons was the record
one for correct form and dispatch OF
adjustment.

Would Haze Inspectors of
Scales Assigned Districts

Dividing the state into four or five
districts with deputy inspector and
sealer for each district, to devote their
entire time to the work and keep con-
stantly in the field, such deputies TO be
under the direct supervision and diree-
ton of the state deputy sealer, is the
plan which State Deputy Sealer F. G.,
Buchtel, of the department of weights
and measures, has conceived for the
more efficient conduct Of the work Of
his department and which he will prob
ably submit for the consideration of
State Treasurer Kay for recommends.
tion to the legislature.
Mr.. Buchtel feels that under the ex-
listing law governing the work of his
department, which vests the appointive
power of the county sealers in the coun.
ty courts of the several counties and
leaves il entirely within their discre,
tion whether or not they will avail
themselves of benefits of the law, the
real effectiveness of his department
is greatly handicapped and that it could
be materially improved if the worl;
were all performed under one head and
in uniform and systematic manner.
Mr. Buchtel has no criticism to make
in any particular ease or instance in
regard to the present county inspector
plan; neither does he infer that tlerc
is any intentional lapse Of duty upon
the part Of anyone connected with the
servCe. On the contrary he feels that
each and every one Of his county as
aistants is doing his duty to the best Of
his ability consistent with the time he
mas at his disposal and the amount OF
compensation he receives for his ser
vices.
Under the present system while the
majority Of the counties have availed
themselves Of the privileges of the law
to correct errors in weights, scales and
measures and to standardize the system
of same aud have appointed county
sealers TO conduct inspections and re-
port results, there are some counties
which have not done so, either through
Indifference to the requirements Of the
law or to lack Of local interest in the
matter and to exercise his legal right
to compel compliance with its provi'
sions would only breed antagonism and
bitter feeling against the head Of the
department, which would have an in.

furious rather than beneficial effect
upon the results desired to be obtained.
In some Of the counties where county
sealers have been appointed the com
pensation does not warrant the deputy
devoting time enough to the work to
obtain the best results; neither is the
field he is required to cover large
enough for him to devote all of his
time TO the work or to warrant the
payment of more money for his SER
vices tnan the county court elects to
pay him. Hence it cannot be expected
that the most efficient service is ren.
dered the department or the cOmmun-
ity entitled to the benefits of the law.
Then, too, the element of politics is
bound to enter into condition of this
character, more or less. Under the
plan which Mr. Buchtel has evolved,
however, the head Of the department
of weights and measures would have the
authority to select and appoint his own
deputies for field service to cover the
several districts into which the state
should be divided, or would at least
have the privilege of recommending to
some higher authority such persons as
ne deems most competent to serve in
the capacity Of field deputies, and the
sole responsibility would rest in the
head Of the state department
This plan would permit the payment
of n scale of salaries which would keep
the field deputies constantly at work

KLAMATH SCHOOLS
MAKE FINE SHOWING

That the schools of Klamath County
are in excellent condition, is shown byI
the following report which has just
been made to Superintendent of Public
Instruction Churchill, by County Sup
erintendent Fred Peterson
The prospects for successful school
year in Klamath county seem at this
time particularly bright, Seventy-fiveI
per cent of the teachers of the country
are normal trained, or are college grad
yates. The remainder are practically
all high school graduates. We have
two rural schools paying $50 per month
to teachers, two paying $50 per month,
eleven paying $40, six paying $75, eight
paying $50, six paying $S5, two paying
800, and three are paying 800. The
city and town schools are also paying
liberal salaries.
Out of forty-two districts in tho
county, all but five will hold nine
months of school during the present
school year.
The funds for the maintenance of
the county schools are nearly all
raised by county school tax. The
county funds added to state apportiOn-
ment amounts to $25 per pupil enumer-
ated 1t would seem wise for the state
to adopt a more equitable method Of
distributing school funds. A system
based upon the teacher, the length of
term and the attendance, would un.
doubtedly work more justice in appor-
tioning school funds.
/ During the past year six new school
houses have been built, and two others
remodeled so as to make them modern
