PATENT LAWYER OF THIS CITY
GIVES FACTS
Six Months EIapse Before Matter II
Reported from the Offices at the
CapitaI-New Building
Wanted

"Most decidedly I feel together with
every one else in Los Angeles at all
interested in patents the good sense OF
the request of Edward B. Moore, United
States commissioner of patents to
Secretary of the Interior James r.
Garfield for either additions to the
present patent building at the capital
or else an entire new building. said
Albert H. Merrill, registered patent
attorney, yesterday.
"Crowded for room, they delay work
over the entire United States along
patent lines" he continued. 1T is any
where from six weeks to six months be-
fore YOU hear from the patent office
after the specifications leave Los An
geles. Then it Is six months before
they act on the merits of the case.
They are not to blame-it Is the lack
of room which keeps hindering the
work. You see from Commissioner
Moore's report here, in group II, de-
voted to patents on linotypes and other
printing appliances, how application
was made for one patent on Decem-
Der and acted upon January IA, two
years following, while in group Al, the
worst of all, for railway draft appli-
ances, including resilient tires (such
as for bicycles and automobiles), new
application was made for patent on
August and that was not acted upon
until January IA"
One interesting paragraph in Com
missioner Moore's report which shows
the methods prevailing among many
patent seekers is shown where the
commissioner thanks the department Of
the interior for the additional two ante
rooms given to the patent which are
now used at waiting rooms for those
interested in patents and for patent
attorneys, which thus prevent many
from hearing the secret inventions
being disclosed by attorneys presenting
their particular cause before these
tribunals and thereby guards against
the possibility of inventions being i'm
parted to others before the patents are
issued
The report states that more room is
needed and that one corner of the
present building is cracked from ex-
cessive weight OF material resting upon
it. He closes by stating that il needed
rooms for storage of patent records
cannot be added he would advise the
building of an entire new patent office
building out of the paid surplus to the
United States treasury to the credit of
the patent office. which amounts to

to escape the old man, and he found
himself compelled to listen to the Oft
repeated story of the old mans lire
until the dread of repetition disturbed
hif slumbers and worried him during
his waking hours.
Johnson finally became desperate
The haggard and deeply lined coun-
tenance reflected in his mirror told him
he must move or bring the old fellow
to a realization of the fitness of things.
"Why don't you tire him out?" sug-
gested a sympathetic friend to whom
Johnson had plaintively told his
troubles.
And this is what Johnson determined
to do, and which he tried to do. And
If he didn't do it, that wasn't his fault.

Sunday morning they left the bakery
together. The point of separation was
reached, the button was grasped and
the now familiar anecdotes were re-
told. Three o'clock came $3.50 and A.
md at the slightest sign of hesitation
the younger man prodded his talkative
friend with a question which reopened
the fioodgates of speech.
Half past passed and as the hrs,
rays of the morning sun cast colo
light over the hills and silent houses
the young man, with drowsy eyes but
determined mind, questioned his friend
concerning an experience when ne
never tired of relating. Six o'clock and
the young man renewed his resolve to
exhaust his friends vocabulary.
A door opened in a corner building
and a red faced man hustled about the
meat market. Turning at the sound
the old man, breaking off in the middle
of a sentence, exclaimed:
"Well, good by; / always walt mere
to get the meat for dinner"
The button was released and the
Young man went to his room. But not
to sleep. Packing two suit cases he
moved to noisy neighborhood on Los
Angeles street.

Los Angeles on Semi
Annual Trip

Government officials, newspapers
and periodicals throughout the country
are constantly exposing the various
trusts, such as the Standard OIL
Some people think the Standard Oil
is The biggest and most profitable. but
they are mistaken. There is one that
overshadows it by far and that AZ the
Thread trust. OF course the Standard
Oil is a much larger concern, but for
the amount of capital invested there is
none that reaps such profits Oh its
goods as the thread trust.
people are not all forced to use oil
for heating or illuminating purposes,
especially in large cities like this, where
we have gas and electricity. but all of
us are forced to wear clothing, and for
every stitch that is taken in our clothes
the thread trust makes it's profit" said
Colonel Nate w. Flasig, known the
world over as the needle man." and
who is now stopping at the Hayward,
on one of his semi-annual trips.

him to make hardly any profit, but at

Colonel Flaisig is travelling represent

He is 20 years old, but is as spry as

covered about 100000 miles encircling
the globe six times and visiting most

Conditions at Cananea as They Really
 Exist.
(By Joseph I. CohnD

CANANEA, Sonora, Mexico, May g. Inasmuch as the press at large has been publishing rumors regarding the resumption Of operations of the Greene-Cananea company, the most important company in the copper world located in the southwest, it is also a fact that much uncertainty prevailed in each article published. The resumption of operations on scale equal to that of a year ago is still in the distant future, nothing definite covering this point yet being known, even to the directors them- selves. Hundreds of miners and skilled mechanics have been Hooking to this camp for the past few months, only to return to the states disap- pointed in their efforts to secure em- ployment, This impetuous arrival of workingmen is of no benefit to the camp also a burden upon themselves. The incoming of Jaborers is responsi- ble for the reports current in the inanimate conditions here. In truth the conditions here are much better than reported, a bout l, 300 men being employed in the camp, HOO of whom being engaged by the Greene-Can- anea company. No more help Is needed by the companies at present, and workingmen should keep away from Cananea for some time, eight or ten months at least.
 At the present time the Greene Canauea company has enough men on their pay rolls to fill their wants when they do resume operations, even on the scale as when they closed down some months ago. This fact is due to the labor-savlng devices in- stalled and the labor-saving improve ments made in the various depart ding the shelter, mines, concentra- tor, etc This can also be said of the Democrata Mining company, which is located in the heart of the camp. near the Veta Grande niue of the Greeue-Cdnanea. This company is at present employing about fifty men, and the company wIll not re- sume smelting their product until copper has reached d price which would warrant the manufacture of the red metal at a profit.
 The Democrata has done no new work at their surface equipment, their attention being directed to un- derground development and explora- tion work. The shelter was installed last year, and had been running but a short time when they were forced to discontinue operations on account of the depreciation in the price of copper.
 The Greene-Cananea company has been actively engaged in altering al most their entire surface equipment, although quite little labor has been devoted to exploration and develop ment work at the various mines in its possession. Repair work on an extensive scale has been pursued, and when they do resume, the company will be able to manufacture copper at a price several cents cheaper than before the shutdown. This condition
 is also the result of the installation of much labor-saving devices and the complete rebuilding of the ore-hand- ling apparatus and also the shelter equipment.
