BROwNsON,s PATENT RIGHT.
It Is Upheld by the United States
Circuit Court.

It Is Upheld by the United States
Circuit Court.
Judge Nelson, in the United States
circuit court, yesterday filed decree
in the case of Ralph Brownson against
DodsCn, Fisher, Brockmann company,
in which he holds that the horse collar
made by the defendant is an infringe
ment on the patent right of the plain
tiff, and orders judgment accordingly.
The patent is for an Improvement in
seams for horse collars. The new seam
is made with a welt bridging the joint
between the abutting edges on each
side and a line of staples straddling
the joint, passing through both welts
and clinched In his findings the court
says:
Defendant admits it is manufac-
turing horse collars identical with
those made by complainant under his
patent Hence, the only question in
volved is the validity of the patent it
self. which is very doubtful, if the
joints or seams used in the manu-
facture of boots and shoes and paper
barrels are considered. The purpose
in all those patents is to strengthen
anu reinforce, 50 DIS " ISSiSt Sli ehiih
and prevent wear, but by the COM
plainant's method he secures not only
a strong and durable. but a smooth and
flexible seam, which he claims is very
desirable in a horse collar.
THE elements of his patent are very
close to a mere aggregation, and L
should hesitate about finding invention
involved, if the fact did not appear
that since the introduction Of his horse
collars the defendant itself has adopted
the very method of manufacture en-
ployed by complainant. 1t seems that
complainant's collars are demanded by
the trade, and by it recognized as a
substantial improvement over those
made with seams; so much so, that
some makers, unable to compete with
lars, obtained machinery, and manu-
facture under license from complain
ant.
I'm fact, the testimony of complain
ant and his witnesses seems to show
that his collars have revolutionized the
trade. This success, and acceptance
by the public, with the extent of the
revolution made in that department of
art, induce me to hold that complain
ant has invented a new and useful i'm
provement, and is entitled to protec-
ton against defendant as an infringer.
"a decree will be entered for COM
plainant." .'.-'

NORTHERN PACIFIC,S BUSINESS

GREATER THAN IN OCTOBER.

YEAR UP TO DATE AMOUNTS
TO 81, 1,463,950.06.
LII :
NEW RATES. TO SIOUX FALLS.
Reductions Made as a Result OF
the Interstate COMMISSIONS
Order.

More interesting figures have been
prepared and were made public yester-
day in the shape of statement of op-
erations in the different departments
of the Northern Pacific road for the
month of November.
The results as foreshadowed in the
estimated statement printed short
time ago in the G l o b e, are of such
a character as must be most gratify
ing not only to the roads officials, but
as well to those whose interests lie in
it's continued prosperity and able ad-
ministration.
The statement exhibits an increase
in the matter of net earnings even
greater than that shown in October
over the preceding month, which was
thought to be phenomenal. The in
crease in net earnings for October was
1919, 5000, while the figures for last
month show a gain over October of
just 1885,, ,573.O3.
The summary of so much of the fis-
cal year as is past, viz, from July 1
to Nov. 30, shows that the increase in
net earnings over a corresponding
period last year amounts to the COM
Portable sum. of 81, 463, $685. The table
of figures which shows the results is
as follows:

The Northern Pacific's Thanks to

It's Agents.
General Traffic Manager Hannaford
and General Passenger and Ticket
Agent Fee, of the Northern Pacific
road, have found time to have pre-
pared and sent to the many passenger
and ticket agents and also train SER
vice men i'm the employ of the road who
come in direct contact with the travel
ing public, letters in which the en-
ployes are given their full need of
the credit for the increased patronage
which the regular reports show the
big transcontinental line is enjoying.
In the letter attention is called to the
fact that the courtesy and careful at
tention of employees is best calculated
to popularize- railroad with the pub
lie, and no chance is left to 1ilisunder-
stand the position of the officials in
advising their many. employees that the
efforts of the latter are thoroughly ap-
preciated.
The letters, which are duly signed
by Messrs. Hannaford and Fee, will be
sent out this week and many a ticket
man or conductor will experience no
little satisfaction at being notified that
his efforts are being duly noted and
appreciated. -"

ST. LOUIS COUNTY MINERS.
Statistical Information From the
State Census Bureau.


The state census bureau has issued
a bulletin showing the number of min
ers in st. Louis county, and classify
ing them according to the number of
months they have been employed dur
ing the year. The statement includes
only the skilled miners and not the
laborers. In all cases the census re-
turns were not full, SO there is some
discrepancy between the number of
miners in the county and the total
number given as having employment.
The statement shows that there are
$500 miners in the county. Of these
1877 have been employed less than three
months in the past year; 242 belong to
the class employed for two, four and
five months; 716 to the six, seven and
eight-month class; 1856 to the nine, ten
and eleven-month class, and 1,212 were
employed the full twelve months. At
Ely, Soudan and Biwabic, where the
underground MINIS are located, the
men were generally employed the
whole year, while on the surface mines
they were employed but part Of the
year.

cts is not meeting with the success that
was anticipated. Some Of the lines
have not yet voted on the proposition
at all, and the general feeling seems
to be that the Denver & Rio Grande
will not accept it. If it does not the
whole affair goes by the board, and
there will be all sorts of trouble in the

will be called soon after the holidays

look wildly about, faces grow pale, and
strong men tremble in their seats -espe-

cock with an extra heavily loaded truck.
An old lady is the only self-possessed in
dividual in the car. She looks around
inquiringly TO find the reason for the
terror-stricke countenances about her.
After every great bump she calmly
slides off the fat gentleman next her,
snd quietly arranges her dress. Folding
her HANDS over her oldfashioned shop

Mosquitoes Near the Pole.


The mosquito. which is popularly be-

S. J. Entrekin, who was one of the
Peary party, says that in 7So north iati-
tude. which was the location of the Peary
winter home on Littleton Island. mos
ouitoes swarmed down upon them in
June. They were hungry and desper-
ate and bit numerically. Blue lies
came soon after, aud in the early part of
July humble bees followed in their wake.
They seemed perfectly at home and be-
came more familiar with the explorers
than the latter desired. Flies were found
in possession of Dir. Hayes old head
quarters at Etah, where they had. no
doubt, been living since the explorer left
many years ago. They were beyond a
doubt taken there by the explorer, and
