CHANGED HIS MIND

A. l.. Smouse of DesMoines is in
the city and since he arrived he has
changed his mind for he came up
here with the intention of selling
several sections of land that he has
around Bismarck and now he will not
sell at any price.
Mr.. Smouse has not been in this
part CT the country for several years
and when he came the other day and
saw the excellent display of corn at
the exposition he decided Immediately
that his land was not for sale.

River Changes Channel


At Hatfield, ten miles above Black
River Falls, the river had today cut
new channel and appeared where
it was never known to run before.
The main channel has moved over
500 feet onto what has until now been
dry land. At the dam the pressure
has ceased and waters have fallen
far below the crest. The main part
of the big structure is still standing.
The power houses two miles down
from Hatfield was flooded.
Damage is Heavy.
President Ferris of the water power
company today estimated the damage
to his cOmpany's property at. fifty
thousand dollars. The plant may be
out Of business for months because
Of the moving of the channel. At
Hatfield Mrs. J. W. Ebertewsky, who
lives in rooms over store building,
was obliged to fee the day after the
birth of baby. Today the building
she left is in ruins. She walked two
miles down the track to farm house.
carrying her baby.
Another Town Flooded.
This morning when the residents
of M@rose village, eighteen miles
north of here on Black river awoke
they found that the river had risen
twenty feet during the night and that
all roads into town had been Destroy
ed. The town is cut of from outside
communication but 1t is situated on
high ground and the danger of being
destroyed, as Black River Falls was,
is not so great.

River, ten miles above the city, and
can never be rebuilt in it's present
location.
In the business streets today it is
not merely question of subsiding
of the water. The river is running
through them, and the channel occu-
pied by the river today goes through
the heart of the town. The great wall
of water which swept the city was
ten feet in height when 1t reached
the town and continued to gather
force later. Black River makes a
turn at the falls ad the channel mar
rows down With the high steep
banks. Into this narrow space, twen-
ty-five miles of water sixty feet deep
in the Hatfield storage reservoir
poured and gathering impetus from
this condition leaped with resistless
force upon the town.
Millions Of Dollars Loss.
Offices, stores, warehouses and resi-
dences went down before it like paper
cards with the big buildings went
also great chunks of earth. A hill
of considerable size loo feet from the
river was leveled even with the sur
rounding land. Mayor McGillivray
today placed the loss at not less than
one million dollars at Black River
Falls alone, not considering the dam
age at other points. Rumors are heard
of three lives being lost but but there
is no verification of them. The re-
markable spectacle is presented of a
town being utterly destroyed with
peraps not the loss of single life.
Prayers Unanswered.
Helpless while their property was
being destroyed men went frantic
and all about, out of reach of the wat
er. single and in groups the people
fel upon their knees praying to the
9lmighty to stay the work of des-
truction. But their prayers were un-
answered, for the work of hands was
unavailing.

The town continues cut off from
the world by telephone and telegraph
and it was only by again resorting to
the expedient of sending man up
a telephone pole on the edge of the
town that the cry for help could be

Mayor McGill said that the people

was less suffering from exposure dur

camp fires burned, while below in
the darkness could be heard the rush
of water engulfing the city.
The mayor of Black River Falls
said this morning that it would be

AWARDS FOR Showing
IN PARADE ARE SLOW
JUDGES DEPARTED FOR TWIN
CITIES WITHOUT REPORT
ING ALL WINNERS.
Mrs. Harry Larson Won First With
Saddle Horse, and Mrs. Roberts
First With Driving Horse.

In order that the situation may be
generally understood it must be ex-
planned that the judges who awarded
the premiums for the big industrial
parade were made up of Twin City
people with one exception, and the
exception is Gov. John Burke. The
eight outside judges made their de-
cisions but failed to report to the
exposition management, taking the
record away with them. This delayed
matters in announcing the winners
as the gentlemen had to be conferred
with by long distance telephone.
Premiums were offered in three
classes, saddle horses, drivers and
draft animals. Following are the
winners:
Ned, owned by Mrs. Harry Larson,
first prize.
Billy, owned by Mrs. Hinckley,
second prize.
Governor Shaw, owned by Mrs.
Roberts, first prize.
Jerry, owned by F. A. Knowles, sec
ond prize.
Two bay PAGERS on trap, owned by
J. D. Mcdonald, third prize.
Draft Horses.
Black team on buggy, owned by B.
o. Ward, first prize.
Surcouf, owned by Jeff May, second
prize.
Highland, owned by Jeff May, third
prize.
The gray draft horses hitched to a.
van. owned by the Wachter Transfer
Co., were awarded the first prize by
the judges. but this team was not in
the competition list as Mr. Wachter
was the doner of the $50 prize money
cut up in $25, SIS and $40 stakes.
