Indians in the Dominion of Canada.

Indians in the DOinlnl0n OF Cana0a"
The total number of Indians in the
Dominion is returned at 9l,91O. Of
these $1,000 (roughly speaking) are in
Ontario, 1000 in Quebec, $4,000 in
Manitoba and the Northwest Territories,
s, 900 in Rupert's Land, and $1,000 in
British Columbia Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick each containing less than
1000, while Prince Edwards Island
only contains 800. These figures, es-
pecially those relating to the unsettled
and semi-nomadic tribes of the North
west, can only he taken as approximate
ing truth. With regard to these latter,
no attempt can be made to compare
their present with their past numbers,
for all such statistics must necessarily
be of little value. But in the more set
tied Provinces. some approach to accu-
racy may be reasonably looked for, and
SO we find that among the Ontario tribes
the increase during the past year is noted
as 200, and the decrease as ~; in Que
bee the increase is % and the decrease
1913; in Nova Scotia the increase is Is

THE Usage LAND CASE.

End of the Fanous Iitieation-The Su-
preme Court Decides in Favor OF the set
tiers.
The Supreme court of the United
States has rendered very important de-
cision In the celebrated Usage land case,
in which is involved the title OF 96O, OOU
acres of land In Kansas. This is the
largest and perhaps most important land
case ever presented for adjudication.
Under certain scts of Congress passed ID
March, 1868, and July, 1856, grants OF
land IN Kansas were made m the usual
form in aid of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas, and the Leavenworth, Lawrence
and Galveston Railroad Companies. At
the time these grants we're made the
Usage Indians held large tract of rich
and valuable land In Kansas known as
the Usage reservation. The Osages
decided their land to the United States
by treaty proclaimed Jan. 81, 1867,
the Government undertaking to sell that
portion known as the Usage treaty land,
about $50, 900 acres, the proceeds to be
applied to the general civilization of the
Indians. Another portion of the land
was called the Usage trust land, and
this was to be sold for the benefit of the
Osages themselves. A third portion was
called the diminished reservation, which
remained in possession of the Osages
until recently, when, by an arrangement
with the tribe, this diminished portion
was also sold, and the Osages went to
the Indian Territory. On April 10,
1869, Congress passed an act authoriz-
ing the sale of the Usage coded lands to
actual settlers at $1.25 per acre, and un-
der this act settlers entered the ceded
lands. The railroads then set up claim
that these lands belonged to them by
July, 1866. They claim that, although
when the acts were passed these lands
did not pass under the grant, that the
grant attached when the Indian title was
extinguished. Atty. Gen. Williams, at
the instance of Congressman Lawrence,
of Ohio, authorized suits to be brought
in the name of the United States against
the railroad companies, to adjudge that
they were not entitled to the lands. The
case was decided by Justice Miller, of
the Supreme court, and Judge Dillon,
of the Kansas District court, In January,
1874, the decision being against the rail
roads and in favor of the settlers, to pro-
tect whom the suit was brought by the
Government. The railroads appealed
the case to the Supreme court, before
which it was argued last October by
Judge Black and Mr. Lawrence for the
settlers and Col. Phillips and Senator
Edmunds for the railroad companies.
There are now on these ceded lands
population of at least $1,000 people,
possessing schools, churches, and vari
GUS industrial establishments. The de-
cision, which was read by Justice Davis,
affirmed the Judgment of the lower court
in favor of the settlers.

CURIOUS HISTORY OF a STATE

The territery now known as Wiscon
sin was claimed by France, ON tn,

and teachers in 1910, who governed it
until they ceded it to Great Britain in
1853. It was held by the British ma
ton until 1882, when was called all her
possessions northeast OF the Ohio to the
United States. Wisconsin was then
thrown under the territorial government
of Ohio by the ordinance of 1887. On
the fourth of July, 1900, Indian Terri
tory was organized, and it was attacl,ed
to that territory until April IS, 1918,
when Illinois became State. It was
then attached to the territory OF Wis
consin, July 4, 1886; SO that Wisconsin
was governed by the King of France
ninety three years; the King of Great
Britain twenty years; by the State of
Virginia one year; BY the territory of
Ohio sixteen years; by Indiana Territory
nine years; Illinois Territory nine years,
and Michigan Territory eighteen years.
She continued Territory OF the United
