FAVORABLE TO INDIANS.
Decision in a Controversy Fifty Years
Old

In an opinion by Justice Mckenna in the
cases of the United States against the Paine
Lumber Co. of Wisconsin, the Supreme
Court of the United States has construed
the long disputed problem of the land rights
of the remnant of the Stockbridge and Nun
sic ind ans that remain in Wisconsin favor
ably to the Indians. The Indians have from
the first commended that the treaty of 1886
conferred allottees under it the right
to dispose of the timber on their lands
while the national government has taken
the contrary position, and in these suits in
sisted upon treating the lands occupied by
them as part of the public domain. The
lumber companies come into the case as de-
PENDANTS in proceedings. charging them
with violating the law against cutting the
public timber. They pleaded purchase from
the Indian occupants, and in their fight
sought to have the treaty sustained. The de-
cision of the United States Circuit Court
for the eastern district of Wisconsin was
affirmed.

orari in the cases of the North Chicago

GREAT GROWTH INDICATED
IN THE MANUFACTURE
OF ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES.
Number of Establishments as Well as
Value of Output Much Larger
Than in 1900

A bulletin issued today by the census bu-
reau contains report on the manufacture,
according to the census of 1905, of cleo
trlcal machinery, apparatus and supplies.
1t says that during the five-year period
from 1900 there have been extensive i'm
provements in the utilization of electricity
and electrical machinery and radical inno-
Vat1ons in electrical devices for general USE
In 1905 there were 1874 establishments en-
gagged primarily in the manufacture of cleo
trical machinery, apparatus and supplies,
with capital of $174,066,O26. There have
been increases since 1900 in all items, even
In the number of establishments an item
which in most industries, the report says,
has been reduced by the general tendency
toward consolidation. There was gain of
34.9 per cent in the number of establish
ments, and of 1851 per cent in capital and
in value of products of 52.3 per cent
In addition to thet products reported by
these establishments there was an output
of electrical machinery and supplies valued
at SIS, 2,033 from 12S establishments en-
gagged primarily in other lines of manu-
1acture.
Location of the Factories.
New York, Illinois. Ohio, Pennsylvania
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Indiana and
New Jersey reported 631 of the 7S4 estab-
lishments making electrical apparatus, their
output being 90.1 per cent of the total.
The increase in total capital was grea test
in Pennsylvania, equaling 1855 per cent,
although the value of the products advanc-
ed only 37.4 per cent.
The capital and value of products of the
other leading states follow:
New iork-Capita $50, GAG, 1877, and prod
ucts. s35,34S, 276.
Illinois-Capital, s21, 644, 1885, and products,
s16 7OOO27.
ssachusetts-Capital 81, 735, 427, and
products $l5,SS2, 216
New Jersey-Capital, s1s,457,s21, and
products So. 500, 476.
Ohio-Capital, s1o,40s,1s4. and products,
81 ,019,235.
Manufacture of Telephone Supplies.
The total value of telephoning apparatus
manufactured IN 1903 was $15 $50, sos, as
compared with sl0.5l2,412 for 1907 Illinois
is the great center of the telephone manu-
featuring industry, and more than half of
the total products were from this state.
An apparent falling off in the production
of telegraph apparatus from 81, 642 2G6 in
1890 to sl,11!19I in 1908 is accounted for in
part by the growing custom among the
larger telegraph systems of making and
repairing tEer own apparatus.
