For the information and caution of all whom it may
concern announcement is made that THE DE LAVAL
SEPARATOR CO. has brought suit in the UNITED
STATES CIRCUIT COURT against the SHARPLES
SEPARATOR CO for infringement of LETTERS PAT
ENT NO 743 42S by the manufacture and sale of
separators containing DISC bowl construction covered by
the claims of said letters patent
Andthat similar suits have been viii be filed as
quickly possible against the JOHN DEERE PLOW co.
and DEERE & WEBER co. who are iobbing such in
frngng SHARPLES separatos dealers in the Western
States.
Attention is pertinently called this connection to
the hypocrtical advertising TRADE of the SHARP
LES concern against DISC separators. We have known
for time that they getting ready bring
DISC machine and thus moving up line with more
modern DE LAVAL imitators and would be competitors
We have but now, however, been able to obtain
these DISC machines and the evidence of
infringement The facts speak for themselves and require
further comment
In addition the above suits the DE LAVAL COMPANY
has infringement suits pending against the STAND
ARD, IOWA, PEERLESS and CLEVELAND Separator
Companies and the VIM. Galloway Co.. all covering the
manufacture sale of INFRINGING DISC SEPARAT-
ORS which infringement applies equally machines
being made by dferant of these manufactures
sold under their and various other by several
mail order and other concerns, we'll to EVERY
USER of such infringing separator bought of ANY
of these parties.
Toavoid any possible misunderstanding and dispel
the pretense of of these machines
similar to the DE LAVAL it proper we should
add that of the patent sued upon involves the DE
LAVAL "sPLIT- WING" FEEDING DEVICE or its com
bnation with the IMPROVED DISC construction utilized
in the upodate DE LAVAL separators and that none of
the machines is in any degree equal in efficiency
a[around practicabity and durability the INPROV-
ED DE LAVAL, machines of today.
Wehave for years patiently stood the appropriation by
would be competitors of abandoned discarded or patent
expired DE LAVAL inventions and types of separator
construction, but have determined to put stop to
the more brazen utilization of LIVE patents.
There STILL OTHER infringers of DE LAVAL
patents who will be held accountable in due course

The record set in 1879 by the British
ship "Caitloch' for fast passage be-
tween the Columbia River and Europe
has never been beaten. She made the
run from land to land in SO days, re-
porting at Queenstown, for orders, in
80 days. However, a French barque,
the Gael" built in 1901, has just
come perilously near equalling this re-
cord. She passed Dungeness, on March
4, 81 days from Portland, Ore, thus
placing herself among the fast sailers
of history. That the era of fast sail
ing ships is not yet closed is proved
by the recent performance OF the "Lu-
cipara," making the passage from San
Francisco to Newcastle, N. S. W., in
3Sdays. The record for this run,
however, is held by the German ship
"Optima,'' of 1920 tons, which, back
in 1903, made it in &c days. This ship
was, unfortunately, lost four years
ago.
