of Washington States agricultural,
commercial and industrial life is
forcibly brought to the attention of
anyone serving in the United States

One of the unusual things which

I have been in the Senate, is the
fact that there never has been a
day pass without someone from the
State of Washington visiting my
Office here.
Many bring their problems or the
problems of the industry or other
interests with which they are con-
cerned. Others, again, come just
as tourists. Some stop here on their
way to or from Europe. There have
recently been some, who have come
to my office. who have hitch-hiked
across the continent in order to
personally visit governmental de-
padtments before which they have

CONGRESSMAN HILL TELLS
OF the u. S. PATENT OFFICE

The ugaitsd States Patent Office
IN Washington, D. c., is an inter.
esting place. A few days ago,
called at the office ITO take up q
matter for one of the residents OF
my district.
On my way 2som the building,
stopped for nlomerrt to see what
is called the Search room" Here
is; a, huge hall, similar TO the read
ing room in amy public library
Daily, thousands of patent attor1l-
eys visit the room to look for pat
ents now issued which may be In
the interest of their clients bust
ness.
Around the tables are show courl-
tiers which display historically M
teresting exhibits. There are mod
els of FIRST types of steam engines,
cotton looms telegTaphic apparatus
and similar patented objects.
A series of swinging panels caught
my eye and I looked them over
The first plate / saw was the copy
of a. patent issued to Edwin P
Wrav, Of White Salmon, Washing
ton His patent was on a variety of
apple and the frnit was pictured in
color as an example of the type of
patents issued on fruit.
On the other side of the panel
was a photostatic copy of the first
patent issued: to Joseph Jenckes,
of Massachusetts,. 1t was issued in
Boston in 1916 and was called a
"nlonopolye."
Few people know that Lincoln
registered a patent on buoyant
chambers which were to be attached
to sides of vessels to help support
them in water.
A model of Eli Whitneys cotton
gin recalled my reading, somewhere,
that, despite this wonderful inven-
ton which saved the cotton fields
of the south from abandonment
Whitney became no richer for it..
Patent registers in those days We're
of little protection and history re-
cords that persons who attended
court sessions looked carefully at
the model and then went home and
duplicated the gin. No attention
was paid the fact that the model
was seen in a. courtroom during a
trial for theft of the patent.
Department of Interior Moving
Secretary Ickes has a job on his
hands, these days. A week or SO a.
go. the Department of the Interior
started its job of moving into the
new fifteen million dollar Interior
building. Newsmen figured out
that. although the work will be car
ried on "a hours day, in shifts of
eight hours, it will take about forty
days to finish the moving. About
three thousand truck trips and fifty
thousand man-hours of labor will
be needed.
Cancer Bill Popular.
When Senator Bone introduced
his cancer bill. few days ago. it
carried the Endorsements of ninety
four of the ninety-six Senators. AS
| far as veteran Senate clerks recall
no bill was ever introduced with so
nearly unanimous sponsorship as

Nome, Jan. g, 1897. My Dear ''Nosey":
 It seams the time has "arrove" for a little back talk.
 You apparently derive a lot of derisive satisfaction from the fact that the fellows are curious about your identity, When some one well hidden behind an anony nity as obscure as that of Nos ey" sneaks up and taps you (even hghtly) on the "conk" with a club; isn't it an altogether nat ural, human reaction to turn "mouthy" and ask who is the so and SO?
 However that is not my main 'fbeef''.
 You have referred repeatedly in your column to lack of sports manship on the part of the play CTS, stressed the fact that they have lost the old well known spirit of the game. Nosey I am going to toss that one right back at you. Don't muff it.
 Haven't you yourself, lost sight

TO POISON.PEN EERIE

Care Of NOSE1:
 Dear Sir or Madam:
 Having seen fit to put me on the spot with flock of posers, I can reply only in kind.
 What, in the Sacred Name of Baseball, have done to rate this individual and unmerited atten- tion? Already about half the village roster has received hon orable mention as the author of this nefarious column, which names I have carefully tabulated thinking that the fiend would eventually expose himself by a process of elimination.
 I quite agree with you that the column is getting a bit Timber. But now that you have tasted the heady wine of mass-swaying thru the power of the press is it your intention to keep your hand in on non athletic nights by digging into the private lives of the citi- zenry? Allah forbid! Frankly I don't think the town could stand much of it. One anonyml ous pen -pusher limited strictly to athletic events is enough of a cross to bear, but a budding Win chell squinting myoptically thru the frost on double windows would turn our peaceful seaside hamlet into a Little Morningside within the week. Think of the chances for mistaken identity perpetrated thru the inefficiency of a non-professional snooper, without taking into consideration the opportunities for not-so-no- ble kicks in the pants by a meg alomaniac lurking behind wierd names and a mask of printers ink.
 Just heard my good friend Ely rattling around in the cache and called him in to discuss this sub ject over a cup of coffee. He also takes a serious view of the matter and says that on several occasions of late he has been annoyed in the performance of his duties by house. holders sing ing out, Hey Nosey, get out of there!" He asks that I put him on record as being unalterably opposed to any snooping whatso- ever outside of the school gym nasium. When asked if he real ly approved of it there he said
