II. M. Alger of this cit an J. F.

ceived Ilia glad tidings Init weak that

device for self-sharpening the knives
on meat grinder had been granted
by the United Statea Patent Office.
Tbey hare been working on the Im
provement for over two years, the ap
plication having been filed October 6,
1911.
The arrangement consists of a left
band feed screw to be supplied to meat
cutting machines of the "Enterprise"
make: also means of reversing the
direction in which the machine may
bo ran, together with a ccttlng knife
that la arranged to ran either way,
wbloh results in miking the cutting
edges constantly becoming sharper
while the other edges sre in use. By
reversing the direction of the motion
of the cutting psrts a sharp edge Is
alwaya ready for use without grinding
the parte.
The cutting parte have teen used
and their practicability demonstrated
by the Inventora. Various partlca who
ar familiar with the use and
mechanism of such midlines and who
have been given an opportunity to
eiamine the principal upon which the
invention la based, hsva pronounced it
the best thing ever thought of in msst
catting machines.

FOR RECEIVERSHIP
Scramble For Local Land
Office Job Promises To
Wax Warm.
I ho Democratic brethren do not
seem to be of one accord In regard to
whom ahould be awarded the receiver
ship ot the Lakeview Land Office.
When Allen Sloan came over from
Klamath there waa no avowed candi
date for the position in the field, and
while be was unable to secure the un
divided support of the local democracy,
yet he felt that there would be no ser
ious opposition encountered. Later
developments tend to indicate that the
contrary would be the cane. It Is un
derstood that A. J. Foster, our present
County Assessor, has shied his hat
into tbe ring and proposes to stay until
the last dog la hung, as It were. There
are other receptive candidates, both
in Lake and Klamath Counties, and
the fight promisee to wax warm. It is
tbe general concensus of opinion that
the position will go to a resident of
tbo Lakoview Land District, and the
report that a Portland man was a
candidate for tbo position Is generally
considered to bavo been a political
move to secure tbe endorsement of
the tbo local democracy for tbo Klam
ath candidate.

Some misspprebension exists in re

explanation.
Mr. Mallery arrived in Portland
from bis trip to the lakes October 23rd
and found - the following telegram

tTEINER VIOLATES
EIGHT-HOUR LAW
Question Arises When Both
Sides Consult Attorney
General Crawford.
An interesting legal question has
been created at Salem in connection
with tbe prosecaticn of Dr. R. E. Leo
Steiner, formerly of Lakeview bot
now superintendent of tbe inssne asy
lum, for violating the eight-hoar law,
by tho State Board of Control issuing;
a communication to tbo Attorney
General requesting him to defend tho
superintendent.
Prior to firing the comolaint against
tit. Steiner, Labor Commissioner
Hoff ealled open tbe Attorney-General
and asked bins to represent him. Tbo
state official bolda tbat ha cannot ap
pear in dual capacity, and tbat be will
abide by tbe re!-, "first come first
served."
Attention was also further called to
tbe fact that Dr. Burner's prosecution
is a criminal case and that in all such
tho state la tbe plaintiff, and it is tbo
duty of the Attorney-General to rep
resent tho state. To ssy tbat tbe state
is the defendant or interested in tho
defense would bo tantamount to say
ing that tbe state can commit or wink
at crime, it is said, and this would bo
a most ludicrous construction of the
state's laws. All persons violating a
criminal ecatote, wbetber state offi
cials or not, must obtsin private coun
sel and cannot draw upon tbe state's
legal machinery for assistance, it is
declared.
