Padding a Canoe to COLLEGE.

Three young men in boat, to say
nothing of the rest of the outfit, are
floating down the Mississippi river on
a months journey to st. Louis, where
they will enter Washington university
when the fall term opens, little more
than a week hence.
Padding in a canoe to college is a
novel manner to reach a destination
in these days of rapid transit, but A.
l.. Partridge, A. Slider and E. Dixon
have made the trip before and they
think the rigors of a 1000 mile trip
by canoe is just the sort Of thing to
train them for winters study.
It was in the middle of August that
the students began their long journey
near the headwaters of the Wisconsin
river. Their canoe was fitted out with
everything needed on the long and ard
nous trip and experience had taught
them that their Iarder needed to be
well stocked.-St. Louis Republic.

stalled at Many Points.

Madison.-At conference of
railroad officials and the railroad
commission, the former stated that
they were willing to do what they
could to prevent accidents at high
way crossings and would place flag
men or automatic bell alarms and il
Illuminated night signs wherever
they were considered necessary.
There are in Wisconsin about o.
600 crossings on steam roads and
500 on electric roads. But only part
Of this number are considered sufi-
GENTLY dangerous to require safety
equipment.
An automatic bell alarm and il
Illuminated sign at each dangerous
crossing will probably be required
by the commission. Other means,
such as interlocking crossings and
other devices for preventing acct
dents on railroads were discussed at
the conference.

praying the Almighty to stay the
work of destruction.
Almost every scrap of food in the
city, except that in houses out Of
the reach OF the food, was DESTROYED.
Every grocery store and meat mar
ket and other food depot in the city
is gone. With the residents facing
the immediate problem Of subsist-
ence, Mayor McGilyray sent mes
sages to cities Of the state asking for
aid. Supplies Of food and tents were
Immediately sent from La Crosse and
Eau Claire, where money is also be-
ing raised for the relief of the home
less and penniless Lare.
The city can never be rebuilt in
its present location. In the bust
ness streets it is not merely a cues
ton of the subsiding of the water
the river is running through them.
The new channel occupied by the
river goes through the heart OF the
town, the river bed having been
moved nOrthward about rs rods and
westward 60 rods.
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 a pop
ulation Of 200, and North Bend, TWEEN
ty-fve miles away with a 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 flood 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 flood got
its first opening into the bank where
the business section was located
would not have existed.
