Cluding IbrGe.StOry Structure, Washed Away

Lacrosse. Wis, Oct. Wiped out
of existence by the rushing down
throuph the valley Of the Black river
OF. the waters Of Lake Arbutus, the
artificial lake created by the 100000
waterpower dam at Hatfield, is the
fate of the city of Black River Falls.
Only two persons are known to
be dead, although rumors are reach
ing here hourly of other casualties.
and one report is that there are 40
dead. Confirmation of this report is
impossible, but while there have un-
doubtedly been many fatalities, the
number dead can hardly be so large,
for it was known for hours that the
Hatfield dam was imperiled and the
people through the valley were
warned Only those who refused to
heed can have been damaged.
The Dells dam, five miles above
Hatfield, is intact, but here also the
solid rock of the hills has proved
more vulnerable to the assault or
the flood than the artificial reinforced
concrete, and here also the great
concrete dam stands as an island,
with a rushing river on each side,
tearing at the hills, but making no
impression on mans handiwork.
Thirty Business Blocks Destroyed.
Black River Falls, city of 1000
has been practically destroyed. Thir
ty business blocks, including the big
gest in the town; a three-story struc'
ture, the Hotel Freeman, have been
washed away. Here the flood tore
away great sections of the banks OF
the valley. One witness of the flood
saw building 100 feet from the
water disappear into the flood with
all the bank on which it stood.
Only the giving of warning early
in the day saved Black River Falls
from repetition of the Austin disas
ter. The telephone operators OF the
two companies stood at their switch
boards until the buildings in which
they were working were filled tC

girls were then carried to high land
Just before the first ofthe flood reach
ed them.
A dozen smaller towns between
Black River Falls and here are either
In the food or are expecting the
water to reach them.
1t Is from these places that the re-
ports have come of 40 deaths. This
figure might be accepted with the
greatest reservation. Farmers whose
homes were in the valley were in
scores OF cases not warned, but there
is no way in which there can be a
check on this list of possible deaths.
The Black river runs through terri
tory largely farming, but also ex-
ceedlngly swampy in spots, and while
the estimates here place the possible
financial loss at $10,000,000, this fig
ure. like the death loss, is doubtless
beyond the mark.
Black River Falls and tho Black
river valley is not alone sufferer.

You must not think am joking about
this thing, but there is joke about 1t,
and the joke is this: have not pow

no powers. There is really no such
n thing as tariff board. The law
says that for certain purposes the
president may employ such persons as
he sees fit | am one of such persons.

And 1t was because of this board,

a joke, that President Taft vetoed the
