NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS.

A patent strikes most people as an appall
ingly formidable thing. The idea is that an
inventor must be natural genius, like Edi-
son or Bell; that he must devote years to
delving in complicated mechanical problems
and that he must spent fortune on delicate
experiments before he can get new device to
patentable degree of perfection. This delu-
sion the company desires to dispel. 1t desires
to get into the head of the public a clear COM
prehension of the fact that it is not the great,
complex, and expensive inventions that bring
the best returns to their authors, out the lit
tie, simple, and cheap ones-the things that
seem so absurdly trivial that the average citi-
zen would feel somewhat ashamed of bringing
them TO the attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous inven-
lions have not been sufficient to pay the cost
of his experiments. But the man who con-
ceived the idea of fastning a bit of rubber
cord to child's ball, so that it would come
back TO the hand when thrown, made fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ms-
chine is miracle of ngenuity-the product of
the toll of hundreds of busy brains through a
hundred and fifty years, but the whole bril-
liant result rests upon the simple device of
putting the eye OF the needle at the point in
stead of at the other end

The Little Things The Most Valuable

Comparatively few people regard them
sci YES as inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
wi tn ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of the3litte frictions of life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought
"Why don't the railroad company make its
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers
backs| ex claims the traveller. "If were
running the road would make them in such
way"
"What was the man that made this sauce
pan thinking OPP grumbles the cook. "He
never had to work over stove or he would
have known how it ought to have been fixed"
Hang such collar button!' growIs the
man who is late for breakfast. "If were in
the business I'd make buttons that would Mt
slip out or break off, or gouge out the back
of my neck"
And then the various sufferers forgot about
their grievar es and begin to think of some
thing else. If they would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, put their ideas
about car windows, saucepans, and collar
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
for patents, they might find themselves asln-
dependently wealthy as the man who invent
ed the iron umbrella ring, or the one who

At the close of school last Friday
MIR. Porter announced the death Of
William Oxford, a member of the
High School during last year. He
expressed the feeling of all, teachers
and pupils alike, when he spoke of
William as pleasant associate, an
earnest, faithful scholar, and manly \
Young man. We would extend most
h, arty expressions of sympathy to
Cora Oxford and to Charles Oxford,
both of whom were also scholars with
us last year. ..s.

The Ketchum Nmelter.

Notwithstanding the shutting. down
Of the North Star mine, on the East
Fork of Wood River, which supplied
the ore, the Ketchun smelter is st i'll
running steadily, and likely to con-
tinue in operation without interrup.
ton, IS q supply of orc sufficient to
run tho furnace 60 days is on hand at
tho works. This supply was laid in
against the expected spring break up
of tho roads, during which it will be
next to impossible TO haul heavy 10 ads.
All other supplies can DO procured by
rail. There is therefore no probability
OF the smelser's being shut down.
At tho North Star mine only six
men are working At present. They
are employed in diving a tunnel
which will cut the vein below the
point where the most water comes,
and thus enable the mine to be
operated without much pumping.

More Miners Laid Oh.

A lot of miners of the G. V. b.
Company who have been working in
ore were laid off Yesterday, and came
to town. The roads are so soft that
it is impossible TO get horse over
them, and the men were compelled to
walk, sinking to their knees IN water
and slush, at every step. They were
as wet as they could be on reaching
town.
These men were laid off because
the dumps aud mill and drifts are
choked with ore that cannot be hauled
until the roads dry.

THE STATE LEVY,
1t will Be Only IS Cents on the 500
Valuation.

1t will BE Only IS Cents on the 500
Valuation.
Some time ago, says the Boise
Statesman, Auditor Ramsey notified
tho various boards of county commits
sioners OF tho State, that tho tax
would amount to 974 cents-S5 cents
general, 5 cents State wagon roads.
and y cents State University. The
State officers yesterday held = CON-
sulta,ion on tho matter, which re-
suited in Mr.. Ramsey notifying the
commissioners that the tax levy
should he only IS cents on the 500.
The officers are confident this sum
will cover all the special levies, thus
raterially decreasing the taxes. 1t
will Do remembered the Demo-
Populist Senate refused to pass . bill
reducing tthe annual ad valorem tax
levy from IS to 65 cents. The State
officers have placed . construc
ton upon the law that tho tax levy
at present includes oil special levies.
thus giving tho taxpayers the
benefit denied by the Senate COM
bine.
