Patent Lawyers Help.


Every applicant can make his claim
personally and defend his rights, but
there are patent lawyers who have
been admitted to practice at the bar
of the patent office. A list of these
lawyers is furnished by the patent
Office free of cost upon application
Their business is to see the appli-
cants' specification are properly made
out, and later to appear before the
examiners and substantiate the claim
and contest them with any who may
put in counter-claims.
The ordinary cost Of securing a pat
ent is S35, which the patent Office re-
quires in return for passing upon the
claims and issuing patent papers.
The patent Office endeavors to pro-
tect applicants in their selection of
lawyers, and deliberate fraud and ex-
tortion on The part of the latter might
result in their permanent disbar-
ment. When the specifications and
descriptions are filed, it costs the ap-
plicanu only SIS, and he may have
the question determined for this fee
whether a patent or not be granted
him. The final $40 must be paid when
the patent is issued
Great Care is Exercised.
When the application is filed it must
go through certain form which takes
times. Usually month expires before
the application is taken up. Then an
assistant examiner takes it anu care
fully compares it with other patents
issued. His findings are put in writing
and the application is passed on to a
principal examiner, who first examines
his subordinate's report and then
makes personal examinations. If he
passes upon it. the applicant or his
lawyers is notified, which simply means
that progress is being made. If there is
a hitch in the proceedings, the appli-
cant is notified and time set for him
to argue his claims.
When the examiners finally pass up
on the patent, a fee of $40 must be paid
and some time within six months the
necessary papers will be issued, patent
is printed, and a picture of the model
is Autographed. The papers are signed
and sealed, and sent to the secretary
of the interior to sign. Then they are
countersigned by the commissioner of
patents and sent to the successful APP
plicant or his lawyer. The patent Sc
cures the inventor for seventeen years
in the exclusive right of using, making
and selling his invention and the laws
of the United States protect him in
the enjoyment of these rights.

facts here were unavailing. Sew
eral newspaper men approached

he would neither affirm or denv
the soft impeachment. The sena-
tor is fifty-one years of age, has
never married, is handsome and
famous. There appears no good
reason for doubling the rumor. 1t
is stated that he will return here

turn with or without" is un.
known. When asked about it, he
said that was a personal matter in
which the public was little inter.

a Bourbon Howl

The Occur d'Alene Press is out
with a howl-a characteristic bour-
bon howl.
All this is because, with the
changing conditions of the county,
and the upward tendency of valu-
ations under republican prosperity,
the county commissioners have
seen fit to raise the assessment val
nations Of property in a number
of instances, particularly in the
case Of timber lands, large areas
of which are owned by rich lum-
Der syndicates.
The position assumed by the
Press is enthusiastically bourbon.
While always bowling about the
trusts and the syndicates, yet as
soon as republican administra-
ton attemp pts TO make these con-
Germs pay their just share of taxa
ton, it Immediately flies to the
other extreme and slobbers over
the trusts and syndicates.
Everybody knows that timber
lands have been assessed ridicu-
ously low, Because the county
commissioners have raised their
valuations, the Occur d'Alene Press
pretends to see a political job. We
can understand why the Press or
any other fusion organ of the free
and easy days of two and four
years ago might look upon it as a
job, because they recall how they
doubled the assessment valuations
to reduo e the rate, and then parad-
ed that reduction of rate as a re-
duction of taxation. But when
taxpayers got their little card and
saw their amount of taxes was
greater, the fraud was so apparent
that in 1902 these fusion tricksters
were routed at the polls.
No, Brother Press, the republic
cans are not looking for any bogus
political capital, such as your col
umns teemed with one and three
years ago, but the republican ad-
ministration will require the syn
dicates to pay fairer share Of
taxes than under fusion rule, and
if you want to go up against that
proposition the republicans will
furnish you all the rope you want.

SHOT HIMSELF THROUGH HEART.
Suicide OF the 19-Year-0ld Son of EditOr
j. P. Caldwell of the Charlotte
Observer.

Charlotte, N. c., Nov. 1S.-J.
P. Caldwell, Jr,, the 1o-year-old
son off p. Caldwell, editor of the
Charlotte Observer, committed sui
eide this evening at 6 o'clock by
shooting himself through the heart
with a revolver.
There seems to be no cause for
the rash deed. For six weeks the
young2man suffered from depression
and several times has said he intend
ed to,kill himself, but it was thought
that the remarks were due to des-
pondency and were not based on
any fixed purpose.
Young SS.,Caldwell had been up
town most of the day and started
toward home shortly after S o'clock.
On his way homeward he met a
friend to whom he said he intended
to do away with himself. His
statements caused some alarm, and
upon being communicated to a
member of Mr.. Caldwell's family a
kindly effort was made to change
the young mans frame OF mind.
Without further discussion of his
purpose the boy walked into his
fathers house; passing through the
hall in which his sisters wree seated,
and going to his room on the sec
ond aoor, he closed the door. A
second later the pistol shot was
fired. One of his sisters who en-
tered the room found it in darkness
She made light, and then saw that
her brother was lying On his back
across his bed. He had placed the
revolver against his left breast, and
the bullet had penetrated the heart
producing almost instantaneous
death.
Young Caldwell had served two
years in the United States navy.
Since his return home a year ago,
he had had several attacks of i'll.
ness and suffered more or less from
melanCholia.
