had even encountered the open-handed
welcome of its people. The capitalist

would never pass Chippewa Falls, after
having seen it, without pleased in
vestigation of what it has to offer
in the way of natural resources and
developed facilities. Not even though
he were borne by OH the wings of the
railroad, would the traveller fail to OBJ
serve the rare advantages possessed by
Chippewa Falls in all that forecasts the
coming metropolis. The city is one of
those many towns born in the uncertain
period before the civil war, and dwarfed
for the time by that great struggle. only
rising into life when the attention and
energy of its people were permitted to
develop themselves in local channels.
Its real race for prosperity and Suprem-
acy only began within the past five
years, and it has now entered upon a
career which will end where energy and
enterprise always end.
LOCATION.
Chippewa Falls is most picturesquely
located among the hills and bluffs
which alternately smile and frown upon
the river OF the same name. 1t has oc-
cupied its cosy site sufficiently long to

dences of newness and to have COM

A GIANT INDUSTRY.
The Chippewa Lumber and Boom
Company's Plant.

The term 'ssoulless corporations" has
been applied to nearly all corporate
bodies possessing an extended power OF
influence, but quite as often is the
epithet in contradistinction of it, and
among the many noticeable exceptions
is the Chippewa Lumber and Boom COM
pany, of this city, although it is one of
the largest and Wealthiest incorporated
organizations in the Northwest 1t is
the only organized lumber company of
Importance directly and personally
identified with the city. They own the
entire present water power of the
Chippewa river from the dam at
Chippewa Falls to Paint creek,
one and one-half miles above, and
the largest, most complete and perfect
saw mill in the world, with seasons

The social feature of existence is exceed

with those of any city of its size in the
Northwest. Such are the first impress
siOns gained of little city of the
neighborhood of l4,000 population.
ITS COMMERCIAL IMPORTANCE
| is due to two potential causes; first, the
fact that it is the central point of the
great pine country tributary to the Chip
pewa river. and second, because of the
magnificent water power. second to
! none in the Northwestern country.
From its favorable location, Chippewa
is the key to the great lumber country
and central depot of supplies
and though the minor depots
follow the gradual extinction of
pine trees, the supplies are all drawn
from this city as a distributing point

tons ranging nearly to 500, 100000.
About this great interest has grown up
the commercial life necessary to its ex-

are exhausted, the energy of the people

THE WATER POWER,
! which nature has provided, is the sec
ond great potential factor in the growth
of the city. A plan is now on foot
which promises to be of the greatest
good to the municipality. The Chip
pewa Lumber and Boom company,
which owns the water rights, has
agreed to cut canal along the
south side of the river, thus
furnishing abundant sites for
manufacturing purposes, with a
at least l0,000-h0rse power at average
water stages. The cost of this improve
meDt will be sl50.0O0, and the city will
throw it open to incoming capital by
paying per cent annually, on the cost,
to the boom company. A committee of
the Business Mems association has it in
charge, and oh behalf Of the city will
accept the offer, ON the alterna-
tive of having the right of

A VsRY IMPORTANT DECISION

THE EDISON ELECTRIC LIGHT COMPANY DEFEATEp'
Judge wsace In the Equity part Of the United STATES
Circuit Court has rendered decision of great interest,"
TO tho public and TO patentecs. In May, 1850, the
Edison Electric Light Company brought about elgn'y
suits sgainst different electric lighting companies ana
thslr customers IN this city The United States Electc
Lighting Company defended thirty of these suits, ana
regarding the principal patents involved raised the
point that they had expired The ground Of this de-
fence that the expiration Of foreign patents had
under section Asst OF the Revised Statutes, caused
the expiration Of the domestic patents The patent
upon which the hst made was dated August ~
1882. Upon the samo invention, the Austro-fun
garian Empire granted patent for one year from July
21 1884, with the privilege OF renewal to fifteen years
In 1882 It renewed for yoar This fact formed
tho basis for exhaustive arguments which were hearu
by judge Wallace In Arr Senator william NJ Evarts
appeared senior counsel for the Edison Company,
with John c. Tomlnson, Clarence a. seward ana
Richard N. Dyer. General Samuel A. Duncan headed
the Hga forces Of the United States Company and was
assisted by Frederic II. Belts, Edmund Wetmore ana
Leonard r Curtis.
The contention Of the plaintiffs was that the patent
obtained in Austria was for fifteen years and Is yet
In full force, while the defendants argued that IL hau
been for year. had been renewed for the same
period and expired on July 81, 1893, or before the
beginning OF the suit Judge Wallace holds that II tne
patent had so expired court OF equity has no Iuris
dlcton. He refers to tho decisions OF Judges Ba'ch
ford, Nixon and Bradley to the effect that the mean
Ing of the statute that the United States patent
should expire at the time Of the expiration OF the
foreign patent and concludes that the question rasea
Is not nav one and that the plea must be aiio"eu
The complalnants claim that the section DID NOT aPpy
because Edison had applied for letters patent mere
before going abroad was also dlsallowed by Judge
wallace upon the same authorities. 49,.
George ". Hebard, president OF tho United States
Hectric Lighting Company, referred reporter who
eIed upon him to General duncan; Inc Ia,ser Je
thu question involved in the plea a vital one. nom

OF the court sustans tho defendants plea all points

General Duncan said that In point OF fact some O.
tho patents had expired because OF the expiration oI

only one OF many.
