Some men seem horn to trouble, and
Harvey Sargent, of this city, must be one :
of them. ; Mr. Sargent is the inventor of
a gopher guri and ; although the ' perfec
tion of the eradicator caused him to
shoot off one of his fingers he still values
tlie invention. AH" good things' are imi
tated more or less, m truth, the fact that
a given thing is imitated may be accept
ed as proof positive that this is a merit
orous affair. Therefore, Mr. Sargent
should congratulate himselfpn the know
ledge that his gopher gun patent is suf
fering infringement ' Regarding this af
fair the following appeared in the Telegram:-
.. .
Harvey Sargent, of Corvallis, inventor
of the eooher cun. which he has covered
by patents both in the ..United . States
and Canada, claims his patent is being
infringed by Edward Kenfer, of Porland,
who recently asnounced that he had in
vented a weapon guaranteed to kill go
phers. Renter announced that the ma
chine was not covered by patent, and
that ' he wanted the wholeworld to
havejthe benefit of his invention, and any
r; ' - oneconld make them. Mr. Sargent, who
behind to is in this city today says the gopher gnn
father and which he invented is almost exactly like
tne one nenier claims iu uavu oiaue.
Sargent's invention was patented Nov
ember 11, 1902, and hasbeen used success
fully for the past three years in .. the Wil
lamette Valley. He has sold 3000 of the
guns which are now in use. :
