ABOUT THE REFERENDUM.

EDITOR JOURNAL. - Reformation
has some features that remind us of
modern religions, of which there are
many. All localities have leaders
with more or less following, aud some
of them feel it incumbent to make a
stand on something a little out of the
ordinary. In some instances list Of
wise, or otherwise, questions to be an
swered In the affirmative, or read out
Of the party. There is scarcely dis
senter in the ranks who has not a
hobby Of some kind. Long articles
are printed telling what "must" be
done. All nominees "must" pass the
three conventions and endorse the
referendum, with all its mandates, or
not be eligible. Think Of such re-
formers talking about bosses, and
writing must in every sentence. How
ever, the fact that we know but little
about referendum, makes it the most
available delusion. But the possible
effect OF it would be so remote that
even the e. O. p. is anxious to help
US make it the principal round in the
ladder. We are creditably informed
the S. p. II. II. is furnishing transpor-
tation to parties advocating the refer
endum. No one mas been able to show
that the system can be put in opera
tion in less than six years, with courts,
all presumably, and the party ma
chinery against it. Relief from that
direction is too remote. In all proba'
bility the three great conventions,
when they meet on March %, will be
able to formulate platform and plan
without any "musts," tnat will be ef.
ficient, fair, practical aud sweep the
country. A reformer must be judged
by his acts. The book Of books says:
"rhose Who Are Not With Us Are
Against U.s." Elect true reformers,
is the quickest and surest plan to get
the referendum aud all other needed
reforms.

AS TO DELEGATES.
How They Were Apportionsd to the
Three Conventions.

How They Were Apporuoned TO the
Three Conventions.
BERRY, Or, Feb. 2s.
EDITOR JoURNAL:-I see by the
JOURNAL OF FEB. 26. call for prl-
maries, by the Democratic. Peoples
Party and Silver Republican central
committees; the conventions TO be
held at Salem; the Democratic CON
ventions 10 be hello at 10 a. m March
l6 in the opera horse: the Peoples
Party convention also at 10 a. IN. in
the Forestry Han, making IL impossl-
BILE for the same delegate to attend
both conventions.
The president and secretary Of
the respective Central commit
tees, have designated the number of
delegates TO be sent from each pre-
cinct ia Marion county.
If, as | suppose, the number Of
delegates is based on the number Of
votes polled at last election, am at
4 loss to know how the primaries are
TO be conducted, as to the best Of my
knowledge, the number of votes polled
on the Democrat or Fusion ticket only
entities the supporters of that ticket
to four delegates in Britenbush pre-
cinct, the number assigned to each
Democratic and Peoples Party pri-
mary, beside two assigned 10 the Sill
YER Republicans.
Please advise through the columns
OF your paper.
A READER.
There was no vote to apportion the
delegates from but the Bryan vote In
November 1896, because the law de-
clares that the vote at the last pre-
ceding election most be taken as the
basis Of the convention. The Bryan
vote was cast for Peoples, Demo-
cratic, Silver Republican electors.
The three Silver and Reform county
conventions will be made up OF the
three classes OF voters who voted to-
gether for Bryan. No doubt the
county chairmen of the three organ
izations will send out full Instructions
in regard to holding primaries.l

CHANGES IN THE PATENT LAWS
THE GOVERNMENT CoMMISSION
WILL MAKE A REPORT.
Uniform System of Trade Mark
Registry Is Desired = Complica-
tons In Our New Possessions.

Washington, Dec. S.-The government
patent commission, which has been in
quiring into needed changes in the sys-
TEN, expects to submit its report to
congress about the beginning of the
new year.. 1t has practically decided
to recommend that applicants for pat
ents who applied abroad previous to
fling here be given priority here from
the date of application abroad, if APP
plication is filed within seven months
thereafter. The effect Of this is to an
tedate the application here, giving it
the date when it was filed in the for
eign country. II also doubtless will
recommend abolishing caveats. The
trade mark matters. however, present
great difficulties. The commission is
seeking to proceed as far as possible,
and is anxious to effect a general trade
mark law, of which, however, a recent
supreme court decision stands in the
way. This decision held the law for the
general registry of trade marks to be
invalid, and that congress could only
provide for registering trade marks for
use in foreign interstate or Indian COM
merce. The only trade mark now is
sued is specifically required to be used
in foreign commerce. There are thirty
three states having a trade mark reg
istry system, and the commission would
like to have a general law in force, if
by any means possible.
The commission is now considering a
! proposition to include in it's scope the
consideration of these matters in the
new territorial acquisitions of the Unit
ed States. Whether it is authorized to
do so, is not quite determined, but if its
duties are so extended it opens up a
wide field of labor, involving impor-
tant complications, principally in the
way of a conflict with the original
schemes in the islands acquired. Ha-
wall has a patent law of it's own, I'M
der which, up to last year., 1873 patents
had been issued. Under Spain's patent
law, which has applied to all its colo
MES, there have been 1000 patents is
| sued since 1878 and up to last year. The
Spanish patents are subject to annual
taxes to keep them alive, and proba-
bly, not one-quarter of them are now
in force. These patents already grant
ed, if now in force, it is commended,
ought TO be continued in force, for the
periods for which issued, these terms
not being uniform. On this point it is
cited hi congress cannot impair the
validity of contracts. These points be-
ing unquestionably good, considered as
contracts, the issue is thus raised
whether the United States will grant
patents applying to the United States
proper or to the whole country as so
extended, although the latter is be-
lieved to be the more feasible course.
AS to Cuba, whose exact future state
is not settled, the question is thus rem
dered the more puzzling. while the
American citizens who go there will
want the same protection as here.
There doubtless will be an immense
! amount of sugar, agricultural, pump
ing and other machinery, implements.
etc. taken in there, protection for
which will be sought.

which there are large deposits of nat
ural or mineral paint, which is greatly
diversified in its characteristics, there
peIhS beds of sienna, ochre, Phoenician

II IS the intention OF the company to

Mr.. KumDe states tina there is a great

around Spokane and that the mines OF
the Colvile reservation are. attracting. a
great deal of attention. The Republic
mine. one of the greatest gold producers
of the west. is located in that Iesion,
H. e. Chubbuck, the resident agent of
the General Electric company, has been
given an order by the Highland Boy
Mining oompan for a 9-ton electric loco
motive with a draw-bar pull. or 2.QoO
pounds, the engine to be used in the
yards of the Highland Boy smelter, now
in course of erection a few miles south
Of Salt Lake. Power for the locomotive
will be generated by a small plant to be
f2stalled at the smelter.
Plans for the lotion cyanide mill for
the New Mammoth min of Bingham are
about completed and within the next few
days the contracts for the machinery
equipment of the plant Will be awarded
and work in the construction OF the
works will begin at an early date. In
the DEVELOPMENT of the property another
5O-foot contract has just been completed
in the extension of the drift to the north
on the AGO level, the face showing a p
foot body of an excellent grade of milling
gold ore. Another contract will be let
at once.
Samples Of ore from the workings Of
the Joe Bowers, recently tested in this
city, showed excellent values, one sam
pie going % per cent copper and 19S
ounces in silver to the ton, while the
other was valued at 20 per cent lead and
50 ounces in silver. At a meeting of the
directors of the company, held last night,
Judge w. H. Dickson was elected to a
place or the board to fill the vacancy
caused by the retirement of John Hupfer.
This will add strength to the organiza-
ton. as it is understood the judge is a
heavy shareholder in the company, much
of his holdings having been purchased
recently.
