CHANGE IN PATENT LAWS
SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION
Noted Inventor Not in Favo,
of Any Change; Others Say
Law Is Inadequate

Washington, June Fl Capital
News Scrvice) - Legislators at
Washington are much interested in
the discussions regarding the need
or revision of the present patent
laws Of the United States. One
school of thought, which seems to
be headed by Thomas Alvah Edison
most noted inventor in the world,
believes that the mechanical, in-
vcntive and commercial prosperi-
ty of this country, based upon the
present patent system, is sufficient
answer to any criticisms Of exist
ing law.
The contrary view is held by
many inventors, who believe that
some provision should be made re.
CURING any holder a patent
whether the original patentce or the
purchaser Of it, to make bona fidc
use of it within a stipulated time
in order to keep title to it. Their
those taking up mining claims must
do a certain amount of develop.
mcnt work to retain their claims
and that to permit patcntcc OF
patent purchaser to "freczc" q
patent is not for the greatest good
Of the country. 1t is pointed out
that many large corporations will
buy a patent which, if it were
manufactured, would seriously in
tcrfere with the product manufac-
tured by the corporation. The de-
vice is then pigeon-holcd to avoid
years, but Canada has not as yet be-
old to the new way, thus dcpriving
the country of the fruits of inven-
ton, even though the inventor is
reimbursed.
1t is iteresting to note that the
Canadian patent system requires
manufacture Of a patent within two
yers. but Cnada has not as yet be-
come known as a nation prosperous
through her inventions.

NEW BEMIDu CONCERN
MANUFACTURING BRICKS
Bemidji Brick Company Plans
to Build Up Manufacture
of Building Bricks

Another Bemidji industry has been
revived. The Bemidji Brick COM
pany began operations this morning
at the old brickyards, south of the
city, and indications are that this in
dustry will in the future be perma-
nent here. W. P. Foley and E. N.
French, both of this city, recently
purchased the yards which have been
in operation off and on for the past
several years. The first bricks under
the new ownership were turned out
this morning and, although capacity
production was not reached today, it
is expected that the next few days
will see the plant turning out $4,000
clay building bricks every day. An
other year, the drying shed and kiln
capacity will undoubtedly be in
creased so that daily production Of
$4,000 bricks can be handled nicely.
Fifteen men are employed at the
present time and, according to the
present plans, another year will see
this number increased to at least rs.
This new firm has repaired the old
drying sheds temporarily and as soon
as these are filled more sheds will be
constructed permanently. This con-
Germ is turning out the same grade
Of brick of which large number of
the most important Bemidji build
ings were constructed years ago. The
highest quality possible will be main
tanned at ali times.
Al least one-half million brick will
be turned out this summer and the
balance of the time will be spent by
the crew in erecting new sheds and
repairing the other buildings. Lum-
Der will be sawed at the mill nearby
to be used in the new construction
work. This mill will also be operated
by Foley 4 French. Approximately
$4,000 will be invested in the plant
when the present construction plans
have been carried out.
Drying Of the bricks in the sheds
requires two weeks, after which they
are built into kiln and baked for
week before they are ready for
market. A spur is to be constructed
next year from the M. & I. tracks
to the kilns and this will relieve the
hauling of the bricks to Bemidji for
shipping. Fifty-three acres of land
are included in the brickyards prop
erty and it is the plan of the COM
pany to put this land under cultiva-
ton.

OPENING OF BIRCHM0lNT
IS fine SOCIAL EVENT
Banquet Dinner S ed to
Over $50 Gusets; Dancing
Party Proves Enjoyable

Between 100 and 100 persons
assisted in the opening of the Birch
mont Beach sumer hotel at the head
of Lake, Bemidji Tuesday evening.
Guests have been arriving since last
Thursday, but the grand opening for
the season was Intentionally delay
ed until at least part of the sum-
mer guests could have the oppor-
tunity to attend.
/ Dinner was served shortly after
6:3O and the capacity of the dining
room was taxed but excellent
service was given Throughout the
entire meal. Through out the serv-
ing of the banquet. Dot Vans or
chestra gave a splendid musical
program. Frequent remarks of com
ment were made relative to the
splendid service, and the excellent
menu.
A dancing party was enjoyed
shortly after the close. of the din
ner and this event was also well
attended. Vans orchestra of five
pieces furnished exceptionally good
dance music. Altogether, the COM
mon expression was that this was
one Of the most enjoyable social
events held in this community for
some time.
Beginning July 1, two dancing
parties are to be given each week,
which the public is invited. Music
will be furnished by Vans orchestra
It is expected that these events will
be very popular and there is every
indication that Birchmont will again
be the center of Bemidji social &C
tivities. Afternoon teas and dinner
parties are encouraged by the man
agement and local hostesses are in
vited to use the hotel accommodate
tons for their social affairs at any
time. The management feels that
Bemidji as we'll as the tourists guests
should receive the benefit of this
popular summer hostelry.
The guest list is increasing rapid
" and it is expected that the next
| week or two will see the hotel ane
cottages we'll filled. About 20 guest:
have already registered and more
are coming in daily. A very active
season is apparently in store for the
Bemidji resort.
