Homeless and Causes Heavy None
tary Loss, But No Lives Are Lost.

Black River Falls, Wis.-With the
towns of Black River Falls, Hatfield
and North Bend practically destroyed
and with scores of farm houses swept
away, 1t is still impossible to verify
rumors of loss of life in the Black
River valley floods and the remark
able spectacle is presented of thous-
ands of people homeless with per-
hap not the loss of single life.
Fifty-three business buildings out OF
sixty-one in Black River Falls have
disappeared, as have thirty residences.
The town of North Bend, north OF
hare, is entirely destroyed. Damage
to crops of the surrounding country
will be immense. The water in all
directions is covered with floating
carcasses OF chickens, hogs. sheep,
cattle and horses.
The loss to Black River Falls alone
is estimated at $1,0OO.OO0. while the
La Crosse Power company. the break
ing of whose dam at Hatfield caused
the destruction of practically every,
thing in the valley, will lose at least
100000.
Thousands are homeless in the hills
having fled before the great flood
waves swept down the valley. Food
Is scarce and starvation threatens.

PROMISE RELIEF FOR SETTLERS
President Tells People Of Idaho That
Congress VIII No Doubt Settle
Vexed Question Next Session.

Boise, Idaho.-Former Governor
Brady of Idaho on Friday promised
President Taft to bring thirteen west
ern governors to Washington next
winter to help him thresh out the
question OF the disposition of the pub
lie domain. The ex-governor did not
elaborate on his idea for the solution
of the public lands question. but Mr..
TAFT himself promised several audi
ences to do all in his power at the
next session of congress to have legis-
lation enacted that will dispose of
some of the difficulties now confront
ing settlelj on public lands. Such
Legislation. the president said, would
not interfo e with the policy OF con-
servation. The principal grievances
of settlers, the president found, are
the short time in which first payments
for land are required; the length of
tenure demanded of a settler before
he becomes owner of the land, and
the fact that even after a tenure of
five years, title to the land does not
pass. He did not take up each issue
in detail, but declared that there was
no reason to doubt that congress
would settle them at the next session
Mr.. Taft spent the day in Idaho
waking. up at Pocatello to "go
ashore" from his train and make his
first address. and practically closing
the days work here with speech to
several thousand people. United
States Senator Borah and former
Governor Brady accompanied him or
