Pendleton Savings Bank ORIGINAL devices Clove's Latest Inventions Will Be Patented at Once. The reporter is shown a letter from J T Geisler, the Portland capitalist and patent attorney, assuring John Clove that a careful and exhaustive search of the records at Washington discloses that Mr Cloves two most recent inventions relating to the Clove combine are not oniy patents ble. but are so entirely original that .hey cannot be considered as infringe ments even in the most distant sense ujx>n any device* ever filed in tne l-atent office. tine of these- devices is a cleaner for grain that 1* not a re-cleaner. but effects the purpose- and doe* it with rare efficiency with one operation thus saving power, time- and macbln ery. The other contrivance is the ' side hill leveler " Th« latter inven ’¡■in is completely original, bearing no resemblance to any leveler ever designed for any make of A.mbine, and is a marvelous combination of strength and simplicity. Accepting Mr Geisler's judgment a* to the patentability and sweeping originality of these two contrivance-« it is conceded that the firm entering upon the manufacture of the combine has a monopoly that cannot be shak en. and only needs development to be of great value. Two propositions teem to confront investors at this time Either estab lish works at this place for the man ufacture of the Clove combine. or let the works go to Portland in either case the company will be capitalized at |66.'» h >. of which a large portion will be taken by Portland people in any event, and perhaps ail subscribed there unless Pendleton people bestir them«» Ives.
