WELSH TIN.
Manufacturers in Wales More Prosperous
Than Ever Before.


The Welsh tin plate industry is now
reported to be prosperous beyond record.
According to the Iron Age the output Tor
1907 is expected 20 exceed 100000 tons.
Prophecies OK ruin to the Welsh manu-
facturers Of tin plate had quite as gen
eral acceptance ten years ago after the
American tin plate industry had demon
strated it's ability to care for the
greater part of the domestic demand. as
was accorded earlier TO predictions OF the
failure of the American attempt to be-
come Independent of Wales.
A steadily expanding world demand
for tin and terne plates has been gradu-
ally counteracting the peSslmlSm that
had taken possession Of the Welsh trade,
and today there is Il more hopeful view
of the future than has ever been taken.
Whereas before the establishment of
American tin plate manufacture this
country took much more of the Welsh
product than all other countries com
bincd. the United States today receives
less than one-seventh of the exports from
Wales. though still the largest single
customer. For the fiscal year ended
June 30 our imports of tin and ternc
plates were 63,629 gross tons, as COM
pared with 53,937 tons in the previous
year. Meanwhile our production is at
the rate Of about 100000 gross tons IL
years.
The present huoyant condition of the
industry appears to be due almost wholly
to the general wave of prosperity that
has brought enlargement OF nearly all
lines of trade. Russian demand expand
ed as the disorders in the Baku dis
trict quoted down.
Japan has been a heavy buyer also.
In fact, Belgium and Australia alone of

A REAL PEARL BEFORE SWINE.
J"st Rescued in Tme-The Ohio River
Fisheries.

w. NJ. Bottorff and Henry Volt, mus
sci fishermen, who have been taking the
bivalves from the Ohio river six miles
below New Albany, have been finding
in the last few days n number of pearls
and so much excitement has been created
among the river men on account of their
good luck that the indications are that
the mussel fishermen will receive large
additions to their numbers. Bottorfr was
in New Albany the other day and ex-
hibited Il handful of pearls, among which
were several that were conspicuous for
their size, shape and purity. One in par
ticular, ii pure white pearl the size of q
pea, attracted great attention and all
sorts of valuations were put upon it by
persons supposed to be experts. The
majority of the gems, however, were
of small size, irregular i'll shape and
would sell for but little.
When the muSsel fishing excitement at
Leavenw orth, sixty miles down the river
from New Albany, was at its height Il
few years ago Il pearl. sold afterward for
$500 TO eastern jewelers., was picked up
in peculiar and remarkable manner
At that time great quantities of the BIZ
valves We're taken from the river and the
meat fed to hogs. AS the finder of the
pearl was feeding the hogs while in the
act of pouring bucket of meat into the
trough he observed n tiny white ball
which he quickly snatched from the
swine. Upon examination it was found
to be a pearl of the purest quality

MADISON, Wis, Sept. 30 Special |
State Treasurer A. IL. Dahl today re-
quested Attorney General Gilbert to be
gin suit against the Western Union Tele-
graph company for the amount taxed the

The fact that the Western Union COM

belief here that the company is laying
plans for testing the validity of the ad

ney General Gilbert:
:, On August l. 1907, notified the Western
Union Telegraph company by registered

the state for 1907 was $l9,71O9O. and re
quested them to remit the same forthwith.
| received no reply and on September IS,
1907, again wrote them, 4 copy of which
letter is hereto attached calling their atten-
ton tc the fact that the taxes were still
unpaid and requested them to remit the
amount assessed against them, together
with Il penalty of 10 per cent per annum,
from September !. l also informed them
that unless they RENTED at once, l would
be obliged to take legal steps to collect the
same.
They have ignored all requests for pay
ment, and | hereby respectfully request that
YOU proceed TO enforce the payment OF
their taxes and penalty at the rate of 10
per cent. per annum from September l.,
1907.
The letter which was sent by Mr.
Dahl to the western union Offices in New
York, simply called attention TO the fact
that their taxes were due and unless
paid within ten days, that legal steps
would be taken to collect the same
