COUNTY, OREGON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER
! PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get Twenty-five Hundred
Dollars for Nothing.
The Winner has a clear Gift of a Small
Fortune, and the Losers Have Patents
that may Bring them in Still More,
Would you like to make twenty-five hundred
dollars? If you would, read carefully what
follows and you may see a way to do It.
The Press Claims Company devotes much
attention to patents. It has handled thousands
of applications for inventions, but It would
like to handle thousands more. There is plenty
of inventive tallent at large In this country
needing nothing but encouragement to produce
practical results. That encouragemeutthe Press
Claims Company propose to give.
NOT SO II Alt U AS IT SKE.11S.
A patent strikes most people as an appalling
ly formidable thing. The idea is that an in
ventor must be a natural genius, like Edison or
Bell; that he must devote years to delving in
complicated mechanical problems aud that he
muBt spend a fortune on delicate experiments
before he can get a new device to a patentable
degree of perfection. This delusion the com
pany desires to dispel. It deBires to get into
the head of the public a clear comprehension
of the fact that it is not the great, complex, and
expensive inventions that bring the best returns
to their authors, but the little, simple, and
cheap ones the things that seem so absurdly
trivial that the average citizen would feel
somewhat ashamed of bringing them to the
attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
from the pateuls on all his marvelous Inven
tions ave not been sufficient to pay tne cost
of his experiments. But tho man who con
ceived the idea of fastening a bit of rubber
cord to a child's ball, bo that it would come
back to the hand when thrown, made a fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ma
chine Is a miracle of ingenuity the product
a hundred and fifty years, but the whole bril
liant result rests upon Hie Bimple device of
putting the eye of the needle at the point in
stead of at the other end.
of the toil of hundreds of busy brains through
THE LITTLE THINGS THE MOST
VALCABLfi,
Comparatively few people regard themselves
as inventors, but almost every body has been
struck, at one time or another, with IdeaB that
seem calculated to reduce some of the little
frictions of life. Usually such ideas are dis
missed without further thought.
Why don t the railroad company make its car
windows so that they can be slid up and down
without breaking the passengers' back?" ex
claims the traveler. "If I were running the
road I would make them in such a way."
"What was the man who made the saucepan
thinking of?" grumbles the cook. "He never
had to work over a Btove, or he would have
known how it ought to have been fixed,"
"Hang such a collar button!" growls aman
who is late;for breakfast. "If I wore in the
business I'd make buttons that wouldn't slin
out, or break off, or gouge out the back of my
And the various suffe:.'ers forgot about their
grievances and began to think of something
else. If they would set down the next con
venlent opportunity, put their ideas about car
windows, saucepans and collar buttons Into
practical shape, and then apply for patents
tney mignt nnd tbemselves as independently
wealthy as the man who invented the Iron
umbrella ring, or the one who patented
A TEMPTING OFFEIt.
To Induce the people to keep trackjof the:
Drignt ideas and see what there in them, the
Press Claims Company has resolved to offer a
ITize.
To the person who submits to It
the simplest and most promising
invention, from a commercial
point of view, the company will
irlve twenty-five hundred dollar
in cash, in addition to refunding
the fees for securing; a patent.
It will also advertise the inven
tion free of charge.
This offer is subject to the following condi
tions: Every competitor must obtain a patent for
his invention through the company. He must
firstapply for a preliminary search, the cost of
which will be five dollars. Should this
seach show his Invention to be unpatentable,
he can withdraw without further expense.
Otherwise he will be expected to complete his
application and take out a patent in the regu
lar way. The total expense, Including the
Government and Bureau fees, will be seventy
dollars. For this, whether he secures a prize
or not, the inventor will have a patent that
ought to be a valuable property to him. The
prize will be awarded by a jury consisting ol
three reputable patent attorneys of Washlhg
ton. Intended competitors should fill out tne
followlng blank, and forward it with their
application:
, , 1893.
"I submit the within described invention in
competition for the Twenty-five huudred Dollar
Prize offered by the Press Claims Company."
NO BLANKS IN THIS COiTIPETIOft.
This Is a competition of rather an unusal na
ture. It Is common to offer prizes for the best
story, or picture, or architectural plan, all the
competitors risking the loss of their labor and
the successful one merely selling his for the
amoun of the prize. But the Press Claims
Company's offer is something entirely differ
ent. Each person Is asked merely to help him
self, and the one who helps him self to the
best advantage Is to be rewarded bv dolnir It
The prize is only a stimulus to do something
that would be well worth doing without it.
The architect whose competitive plan for a
club house on a certain corner Is not occept
ed has spent his labor on something of very
lttle use to him. But the person who patents a
simple aud useful device in the Press Claims
Company's competition, need not worry If he
fail to secure a prize. He has a substantial
result to show lor nis worx-one that wil
command its value in the marie at anv
lime. -

A statement recently issued from tb
treasury bureau of statistic shows the
number of immigrants of different na
tionalities arrived in the country during
the last Hsenl year. The whole num
ber of arrivals was S.-,5.4U. arminat
451,210 during the fiscal year 1890 an
increase of 104,277. The number
arrived last year was greater than in
any previous year since 1833. when th
total was 003,833, aud it has been ex
ceeded in only two other vears in
1881, when the number of arrivals was
6119,431, aud in 1882, when it was 788,
992. Two things are to be remarked with
reference to these comparisons: First,
that since 1883 the arrivals from Canada
and Mexico have not been included in
the othcial reports; and, second, that
since 1883 the Chinese have been ex
cluded by law, and the government
officials have been supposed to know
that there were no arrivals from the
flowery kingdom. But there has been
nothing to prevent immigration from
Canada and .Mexico, and as a matter of
fact a (rood many Chinese have found
their way into the country.
How much the tttsl of late years
would be swelled if all the immigrants
from these countries were included it is
impossible, to say. We know that from
1880 to ! buth years inclusive, the
arrivals from American countries varied
from O3,i!0tl to l'i7.'".:iiiil that since 1885
they have, never much exceeded 5,000 as
officially reported. The arrivals .from
China fell from an average of perhaps1
15,000 for Rfverul years before 1883 to
almost none since that year. It is per
haps safe to s:.y that 50,000 should be
added to the fjuivs of recent years on
these accounts. Hut. that addition would
still leave last, year far behind 1881 and
1882 in tiie number of arrivals.
The principal increase last year u
compared with the year before was
from the. following countries: From
Italy, 23,,'Hl; from Austria-Hungary,
14,881; from (Icrmriny, 21,122; from Hu's

MILITARY RULE IN EUROPE.

European civilization to-day is based
on the idea thai, war is not onlv an im

been trained to look upon blood shed
ding as its proper vocation. The great
prizes are reserved fur soldiers: honors.
fame, position and the monarch's favor
go to the sons of Mars. The military
budget exceeds many times over does
it exceed the appropriations for public
instruction. The. sa.ory of a colonel is
earned by but few professors, writes
W. E. Thayer in Hie, Forum. The cost
of the powder an.! shot wasted in Eu

would probably pay the running ex

each govermirant, whether it be consti

with truth bo said to direct legislation,
for the legislatures wiiliugly or un
willingly vote the appropriations
demanded by the war department.
Even if a legislature, dares to ques

ened into acquiescing by an alarm
ing report from the inirjiister for
war. Thus the military el has controls
government nnd bus laws parsed to suit
itself, and fiivvonts all attempts to cut
down or to abolish its powers. It in

breath they call for larger funds and
more recruits. Kaisers meet and kiss
each other on both cheeks; they extol
the sweetness of 'motherly love; they
attend each other's grand maneuvers,
and then they increase the garrisons

eatables in abundance. A part of th
programme was the spraying of per
fume from a cologne bottle over the
crowd, every newcomer getting a sup
ply of the odors in the face. The ladies
present, of whom there was quite a
number, indulged in a doleful chant in
the Syrian language, which lasted for
a couple of hours. It was explained to
a reporter as being a method of con
gratulating the bride in her new state.
The reception lasted until late in the
afternoon. Many of the participants
who came from a Syrian colony in the
neighborhood were unable to speak the
English language. All present seemed
to enjoy themselves.
GOLD DISCOVERY.
Cay Disputed Date Established by Docu-
mentary Evidence.
' The various societies of California
pioneers are accustomed to celebrate
the 19th of January as the date of the
discovery of gold by J. W. Marshall at
Coloma, but that it is an error is shown
by Mr. John S. Hittel in the Century,
as follows (a fac-simile of the entry in
Bigler's diary being printed in the mag.
azine as ocular evidence):
lhe tirst record of the discoverv. and
the only one made on the day of its oc
currence, was in the diary of Henry W.
Bigler, one of the Mormon laborers at
the mill. He was an American by birth,
tnen a yourfg man, and now a respected
citizen of St. George, U. T. He was in
the habit of keeping a regular record of
his notable observations and experi
ences, selecting topics for remark with
creditable judgment. His journal kept
during his service in the Mormon bat
talion and his subsequent stay in Cali
fornia is one of the valuable historical
documents of the State. On the 24th of
January, in the evening, Bigler wrote
in his diary: "This day some kind of
mettle was found in the tail-race that
looks like gold."
Nothing war, said in public about the
date of the discovery until 1858, eight
years after the event when Marshall
published a letter in which he said that
he found gold at Coloma "about the
19th" of Janv.a'-y, 1848. Neither then,
nor at any subsequent time, did he
claim that his recollection of the day
was aided by a writ ten memorandum.
In 1857 he published a statement that
the discovery was mado on the 18th,
19th or 20th. His bioar-hy, prepared
under his dire 'lion, and printed in 1870,
fixed the Kith as the precise day.
As years chased he became more
exact, perhaps under the influence
of public opinion, which from 1850
to 1888 accented the 19th as the
day. On the 0th of Meptember, 1885, at
the annual celebration of the ad
mission of the State into the Union, I
delivered an address on the gold dis
covery to the Pioneer society of San
Francisco, and seet a copy of it in print
to Mr. Bigler, of whom 1 had heard as
one of the survivors of the Coloma
party, and requested him to correct my
errors, if he found any. Ho replied
that according to his oinry fee .-old was
found on the 24th. At my u iicitation
he copied the entries of liis book from
that day to the middle of May; and then
I began an iiivestigi.ien v. hic.h made

tioning the gold. The agreement of the
three diaries with Marshall's statement
that he went to New I lelvot ia four days
after the discovery, the superior value
of documentary evidence as compared
with vague recollections, dimmed by
years of intervening events, and the un
certainty of Marshall in reference to
the date, left no room for doubt that the
24th was the true day, which I gave to
