of precaution. NJ. G. Geoghan who
had recently strengthened up and
repaired his building was in no dan
ger and suffered no loss.
J. E. Daily suffered some loss in his
brick block basement from the fact
that he was unable to move all his
stock therefrom. His loss will pro-
badly not exceed one hundred dollars
The building owned by L. Fournier
and Mrs. Chas. Gouger suffered no
loss except that of having their base
ments flooded with water.
The two Wheelan and Kruger, builc
ings occupied by R. NJ. Levin and

having the entire basement flooded
and the windows all broken in. Fred

dollars.

at least two hundred dollars.
All store buildings facing on First
and Second streets from the Library

residence had some trouble from the
water seeping through into their base
ments. This generally occurs when

of 1900 and 1911
A great deal of damage has been
done to the Consolidated park on the
west side. The walks and drives have
been washed out to quite an extent;
considerable debris has accumulated
upon the lawns The greater part of
the park is under water. A lamp stand
on the west side of the office is
submerged up to the arms carrying
the lamps The earth at the north
approach to the bridge has been
washed away and sand bags We're
placed there to prevent the water
from further washing away the sod

RAILROAD CROSS
ING ACCIDENT
John Lindahl, of Rudolph, his
Horse and Carriage Struck
by South Bound C. M. & st.
P. Passenger Wednesday
Evening.

John Lindahl, well known resi-
dent former of the Town of Rudolph,
Wood county, was in Grand Rapids
on business Wednesday, Oct. 4
He made the trip to the city with
single horse and carriage. On his
return home in the evening about
nine O'Clock, when making the c.
NJ. & st. P. crossing at the north end
OF Third avenue, somewhat under
the influence of liquor, and could not
have heard or seen the passenger
train coming along at about 9:15, his
horse and rig were struck, breaking
the horses leg and breaking the
thills on the buggy and throwing Mr..
Lindahl in the gutter on the right
OF way. The horse was shot to get
him out of his misery, the buggy can
easily be repaired and Mr.. Lindahl
is none the worse for the accident.
Had the train been under regular
speed it's a question whether Mr..
Lindahl would have come out so fortu-
nate. However, as it was it was

]. A Cohen of the firm of Cohen
Bros, having experienced the flood of

Thirteen inches of water showed in
the generator room. The generators
being of the revolving field type.
while the foundations supporting
them were above water, the revolving
parts came in contact with the wa
ter and short circuit the generators.
This is the first time the mill has
been shut down since it was built in
1904.
The Centralia Hardware Co. had
men at work all day Sunday remoY-

ly one that suffered any damage and

how much damage has been done. The
store is along the river and conse-
quently the water in that basement
was higher than in the others. The
floor in this basement is made of
wood and the boards tipped up side
ways throwing crates containing dish.
es down and it is supposed that con-
siderable breakage has occurred.
At the Tribune office there is foot
of water in the basement which pre-,
vented the building of a fire in the
furnace. AS the basement is used
only for the furnace and coal, the on
ly damage will be what is done to the |
furnace by the water in the wayof |
rust.
The mill at Port Edwards was clos. |
ed down Saturday evening on account |
of the high water. The highest mark !

All lands in Wisconsin, including
timber, water power and minerals
thereon or therein, were at one time
the property Of the United States.
4 small part thereof the United
States granted to the State for edu-
cational purposes. Most Of the bal
anoe thereof the United States sold
to private persons without raserva-
ton or condition. To these lands
the State never had and has not now
any title. Some of such purchasers
saw value in the timber, some in
the minerals, some in the water pow
.ers, some in the soil for agriculture,
purposes. Up to 1911 the private
ownership of water power was recog-
nized or declared by many state leg
