PATENTS!
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.
Tbere was never a time in the histor)
of our ooantry when the demand for
inventions and improvements in the arts
and sciences generally was so great as
now. The conveniences of me jkind in
the faotory ami workshop, the household
and oo the farm, as wei: an in official
life, require continual access-ons to the
appurtenance and impHmeots of each
in order to save labor, time and expense.
The political change in the administra
tion of government does npt affect the
progress of the American inventor, who
being on the alert, and ready to per
ceive the existing deficiencies, does not
permit the affairs of government to de
ter him from quickly oouoeiviug the
remedy to overoome existing discrepan
oies. Too great cire cannot be excr
o ed in onoosing a competent atid skill
ful attorney to prepare and prosecute
an application for patent. Valuable in
terests have been lout and destroyed in
innumerable instances bv the employ
ment of incompetent counsel, and es
pecially is this advioe applicable to
those who adopt the "No patent, no
pay" system. Inventors who entrust
their business to this class of attorneys
do 'o at imminent risk, bs the breadth
and strength of the patent is never con
sidered in view of a quick endeavor to
get an allowance and obtain the fee.

William Merrill, after having two trials
for robbery and ass tult with a dangerous
w apon at Baker City, was o.invioted at
the present term of the oirouit court and
sentenced to eight years in the penit. n
tiary. Merrill was recommended to the
mercy of the court, but Judge Clifford
referred to tbe statute fixing sentence in
such oases, whiob was not less than 5
years nor more than 20, end said tbe
reoommendBtion was simply a compro
mise to arrive at a verdict, but realizing
the enormity of the orime committed, ob
seryed that it was fortunate for the pris
oner that tbe victim did not die, iu which
oase he would have surely been oonvict-
ed of murder in tbe first degree.
