D FoR number of years the matter
g snelter for this city has been dlE
cussed pro and COO and our Cham Der {

about it. The subject Is sgain up
that body and it is to be hoped that th

will at least pursue the matter this tim
| far enough to be able to at leest offer
, desirable site to capital that will use
and erect thereon a complete smelte
plant. Such site would not be diff

the south side of town any Ehere from

smelter plant would be of greet value to
our mining interests in the Territory

ruptcy bill by the Senate makes new
problem for Speaker Reed. A great
many of the representatives. desire the
| passage of such q bill, but unless the
Speaker appoints the committees the
bill will lie on the table until the regu-
lar session in December. The only
other way the bill could get before the
House is by special order from the rules
com mittee to consider 1t in committee
of the whole. The difficulty of thie pro-
ceeding is that the Speaker is entsgo~
nietic to- the bill pessed by the Senate.
The Speaker cannot bring the bill he is
in favor of before the House without
appointing the Judiciary Committee,
and this would amount to an abandon
Gent of his policy OF not appointing the
committees during this extra session.
On the other hand, if the Judiciary
Committee is not appointed the Nelson
bill may be considered by the House,
aud this would be eutegonistic to the |
Speakers wishes Whist he will do |
about it has not yet developed.
To STIMULATE invention, the o. s.
has enacted that every in
yentor of new and useful machine,
tool, utensil, article of manutacbure,
c I'm position OF matter, or any improve
msnt thereon, shall have the exclusive
right to make, use and sell the invention
Tor period OF seventeen years. This is
what is called patent. This stimula-
lion has been quite sufficient, for, under
is influence, more paseD is have been
granted In she United States than in all
he world besides. But recently there
las been introduced an additional stim
llation in the shape Of false statements
md deceitfui promises about the great
ortunes to be made in patents, the re-
ult OF which is turning the heads of
hundreds of thousands OF bread-w wiz
ing people from normal toll TO illusion,
With it's diFeful sequence to ruin and
vent. Il is an actual fact that thou
snds of men and women are selling
arms, horses, COWS and eoonomizinR in
lothes and shoes for themselves and
becsuse they have been per-
uaded that a fortune awaits them in a
esent for churn, washing machine,
kitchen cabinet, caE-ooupler, nut
ock, OF IN some other of the hundreds
{ classes of overstocked inventions.
1sny patent attorneys, so-oalled, are 6
ooding the country with ''lists OF in
entions wanted" The inventions are
course not wanted. There are, dead
1 the Patent Office, hundreds Of pat =.
nts in the same class. and these stimu-
ltin2, seductive sbetsments are really
nd only in the interest of the alleged c
stent attorneys who send them.
