PATEN rs


There was never a time in the
history of our country when the
demand for inventios and improve
ments in the art and sciences gen.
orally was so great as now. The
conveniences of mankind in the
factory and Workshop, the house
hold, on the farm, and in official
life, require continual accessions to
the appurtenances and implements
of each in order to save labor, time
and expense. The political change
in the administration of govern
ment does not affect the progress Of
the American inventor, who being
on the alert, and ready to perceive
the existing deficiencies, does not
permit the affairs of government to
deter him from quickly conceiving
the remedy to overcome existing
discrepancies. Too great care can
not be exercised in choosing a com
petent and skillful attorney to pre-
pare and prosecute an application
for patent. Valuable interests have
been lost and destroyed in innum-
cradle instance by the employment
of incompetent counsel, and espec-
tally is this advice applicable to
those who adopt the "No patent, no
pay" system. Inventors who intrust
their business to this class Of at
torneys do so at imminent risk, as
the breadth and strength of the
patent is never considered in view
of quick endeavor to get an al
lowance and obtain the fee then due.

committed to free coinage.

AS the Congress was composed of
five or six hundred delegates, repre-
sentative men of the States and
Territories west of the Missouri, its
decision on the silver question ought
to have good effect on the National
Congress at Washington. 1t is diff.
ficult, however, says the Reno
Journal to convince the goldbug Of
the error of his ways and it is feared
that the resolution will make no i'm
preston on the Wall street combi-
nation.

One square inch of gold leaf, such
as used in gliding, will make forty
thousand "colors" visible to the eye,
without the use of a glass. 1t
would take four million of these
colors to weigh one dollar. This is
a fact worthy of the thought of the
men who estimate the value of
placer dirt from the number of col
ors visible IN a pan of dirt.

HOW TO BR.NG III ABOUT.

There Is but one thing outside
of the free and unlimited coinage
of silver that will help Nevada out
of the rut she is in. That is for
the State to take hold of the irriga-
ton question, place the arid lands
in a condition so that settlers of
limited means can 60 onto them
and make a living, and thereby
create manufactures for the pro-
ducts raised. Some years ago it
was proposed to establish a lottery
in this State, and from the bonus
paid by the institution yearly to
the State, create an irrigation fund.
Had this been done at that time, by
this time something near three
quarters of q million dollars would
have been invested in a State irri-
CATION system. 1t was not done,
however, and that ends that scheme
beaten by protested friends. Now
the best thing the State can do, in
our judgment, is to establish an
elective Board of Irrigation, make
as large an appropriation at each
session of the Legislature as the
people think they can possibly
stand, and start in a systematic
way to furnish the thousands of
acres of desert lands now in the
State with water. For years the
trial has been made to draw emf
grafton to this State without being
able to show any advantages. 1t
hes been a failure. Our land, with
water ON it, is superior to any in
America, but when poor people can
not change for the better they are
going to study quite while before
leaving one place for another. We
are contending that to gain inhabi-
tants it is to the interest of the
State to establish and maintain a
system of irrigation that would
make of our arid tracts thousands
of homes for poor people and at
the same time increase the taxable
property af the State hundreds of
thousands of dollars. Suppose the
State even went so far as to furnish
water free for length of time, put
a man and his family on 60 acres
of ground and give him start. Is
there a doubt that it would be a
paying investment in short time?
There are thousands of families
near starvation in the East who
would gladly embrace such an offer
of assistance to start home, and
wonld strain every nerve to accom-
plish that end, and in a very few
years we would have populous
and prosperous State. Then it
would be time to try and induce
capital to invest in the manufacture
of beet-sugar, and other industries
which would aid in building up the
State. Think of this proposition
and agitate it.
