"PATENT applied for is hereafter
meaningless and useless. An inventor
cln only protect himself by secrecy,
and keeping his valuable notions to
himself until he is his patent safely
in his pocket. The ground on which
this decision is based is that the appli-
cation affords no presumption that a
patent will be granted, and very sem
sibie ground it appears to be, too.

From Senator Plumb.

The TINES in its editorial columns
predicted prior to the city election
that putting a citizen of the ability and
high character possessed by Hon. r.
". Evans at the head of our municipal
affairs would redown to the honor and
credlt Of the city. This is already
manifested in various ways, and in none
more prominently than by the fact that
our distinguished United States SEN
ator Preston B. Plumb, although busy
in Washington with national affairs,
yet tarns aside and writes letter of
compliment and congratulation of our
worthy mayor, and in which he sets
forth IN vigorous language the problem
which Mr. Evans has honestly under
taken to solve for Dodge City. By
permission We give the letter entire:

WALTER SrRAErER, Plaintiff.
The Ketchum keystone. [volume] (Ketchum, Idaho) 1885-1899, 1889-10-26
A Foregone Conclusion.

The board of county commission
ers of Alturas county, before ad-
journing their October session, made
the following order upon the SUBJ
iect of calling an election for the
purpose of voting upon the pro-
posd constitution:
It is hereby ordered by the board that,
,nasmuch as there is no provision OF Law
for such an election, nor for the payment
of the expense incurred for said election,
the board take no action in the matter.
While the county commissioners
very sensibly concluded that they
had no authority to call an cleo
ton for this purpose, they also very
we'll knew that to have appointed
Judges of election to be held in the
several precincts of the county with
out pay, as some of the other coun-
ties have done. would have been
supremely ridiculous. If county
commissioners assume the power
in this instance to appoint officers
to conduct the election they un-
doubleday place themselves under
obligations to pay them for their
services. They would be entitled to
remuneration, and either the county
or its guardians, as individuals,
would have to foot the bill. Under
the circumstances, we are inclined
to think the county commissioners
themselves would be obliged to
"pungle," and not the county. On
the other hand, the commissioners
of some Of the counties have pro-
ceeded to appoint judges of election
and establish new precincts, in all
respects in the same manner as
they would have done in conduct
ing a general election. What will
be the result when these officers O
election, who have performed their
duties under appointment from tn
county commissioners, present thel1
vouchers to the board and demand
nayment for their services? Who
is to provide the money with which
to pay these just demands, in tn
absence of any law authorizing tn
1 action of the commissioners who
have taken this step?
