Boonesboro Chapter D. A. R.

The last meeting Of the season of the
Boonesboro Chapter of the d. A. r. met
Monday afternoon of last week with the
Regent Mrs. A. R. Burnam. Miss Louise
Covington represented the Chapter at
the National Congress held in Cont
mental hall, Washington d. G. in April
last, and now gave an exceedingly in
structive and interesting account Of that
aSsemblege. She recounted in detail
the business transacted as we'll as the
social features After listening to the
report given by this cultured young
woman, the chapter was confirmed in
the belief that it had chosen wisely in
selecting Miss Covington as their repre-
sentative. The humorous side of the
meetings, the account of the ''bicker-
ing" and ''spatting" but bespoke the ex
perience of past years. The social side,
included entertainment by President
Taft and other gatherings where the
crush" was too much for comfort.
Among other celebrities present, who
took part in the proceedings, was Mrs.
Donald Mclean from Maryland, whose
Revolutionary Ancestry, as well as that
of her husband, had so easily secured
for her the position of President Gener
al two terms. The organization now
numbers $4,000 members. Mrs. James
w. Caperton also gave an interesting
account of a meeting she attended in
Cincinnati on the 22nd of February. in
which the far-reaching influence of the
Daughters there was felt in some phil
anthropic work they had done with
street urchins. Mrs. Z. T. Burnam was
none the less entertaing in her talk of d.
A. r. work in Colorado. This being
comparatively new State has not the
large membership that older States have
in the d. A. R. ranks but the three
Denver Chapters are active ones and
thoroughly alive to the work before
them. They are devoting their time
and activeties to the establishing and
beautifying of play grounds for children
and to educational and civic improve
mentS generally and are doing great
work along these lines.

PLAN REBUILDING OF CITY
Black River Falls Business Men Show
True American Optimism in the
Wake of Flood Disaster.

Black River Falls.-With the OPP
timism of true Americans, the bust
ness men of Black River Falls are
preparing to rebuild the city before
the food which swept away their en-
tire earthly possessions has subsid-
ed.
At a meeting attended by every
business man in the stricken city. an
equitable arrangement was made
for the housing of those ventures
that are absolutely necessary, and
three committees appointed to select
the most suitable site for the new
business section.
What business buildings we're left
by the food are. in several cases, be-
ing utilized by two or more firms.
The postoffice has been located
in temporary quarters in the city
hall. Even the churches have been
utilized.
Plans are already being laid to
repair and place in service the city
power plant and build a concrete
wall or dam to confine the river to
its channel.
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1911-10-18

groups, people fell upon their knees
praying the Almighty to stay the
work of destruction.
What remained of the small dam at
Black River Falls was dynamited in
an unsuccessful effort to turn the
stream back from the business streets
into its old channel.
Fear was entertained here for
towns further down the river, but
telephone messages from Melrose,
nineteen miles from here with pop
ulation of 200. and North Bend, TWEEN
ty-five miles away with population
of 100 contained the information that
both towns were safe.
The defective construction of the
municipal power plant is held by en-
gineers to be partly responsible for
the disaster. The concrete dixie of
the city dam, just completed, was laid
diagonally to the course Of the river.
instead of at right angles, throwing
the food waters toward the business
section when the torrent was re-
leased. Had this protective dixie been
built straight across to the side bank,
the eddy through which the food got
its first opening into the bank where
the business section was located
would not have existed.

States. the governor of the state, and
the mayors of cities throughout the
land to send aid, especially money
All sending contributions are to

MUST SETTLE TAX PROBLEM
Question Left With Local Authorities
at Black River Falls, Declares
Commissioner Haugen.

Madison.-Tax Commissioner N.
P. Haugen has returned from Black
River Falls. where he went to coun-
sci with the authorities relative to
the situation that has developed out
of the food disaster.
He found conditions fully as Sc
rious as reported, but said that the
people had not lost courage. Mer-
chants are moving into whatever
quarters may be found, one even
occupying the Baptist church tempo
rarily.
Mr.. Haugen said that the adjust
ment of the taxation problem must
be left with the city authorities and
the county board of supervisors of
Jackson county. The taxes, Mr..
Haugen said, might be collected in
come instances by suit against the
owner. This, however, will probably
not be done, he said. The ordinary
course. where default in payment of
taxes is made. will, no doubt, be
followed, and at the proper time the
certificates may be Cancelled by the
county board.
