PICTURES OF THE FLOOD.

On the evenings of October II and
Is the management of the Gem
Theatre will present thousand feet
of film taken the day following the
terrible flood disaster at Austin, Pa,
where so many people lost their
lives. 1t is said that the picture is
perfect. The Independent Moving
Picture Co. representative being first
on the scene, was enabled to photo
graph clearly all of the wreckage and
points of great interest before the
work of clearing away debris was
begun.
This is a special attraction and the
admission price will be advanced to
15c for each person.
During the winter months, and
commencing next Monday, the first
performance on each evening will be-
gin promptly at 1880 and the second
at $3.50. Attention is also called to
the new silver light curtain just in
stalled, the very latest thing known
in picture projection, and has i'm
proved the pictures 100 per cent,
bringing out all the small details and
producing a clearer and palmer effect.

banks to a considerable extent and
washed out several small bridges and
necessitated repairs on several
others. The continuous rains loosen
ed the banks and considerable pasture
land was washed down stream.
William (King) Fisher was the only
one in this city who experienced any
physical inconvenience on account of
the high water here. King was in an
out building at the rear of Thomson's
blacksmith shop, when said building
suddenly shot off from the Is foot
embankment and landed on it's roof
at the edge of the stream. The roof
split in two, shooting King out into
the cold flood, making it necessary
for him to exert himself to reach
shore. King negotiated the distance
safely, however, and arrived down
town to find that he had gained a
title, Admiral"

CLIFTON POWER
PLANT DESTROYED.

The Clifton power plant, located on
the Kinnickinnic river, about eight
miles below this city, was washed out
at eleven thirty last Thursday night.
The force of the water, although not
at flood height, lifted up the end of
the fiume, and being released under
meath the fume, undermined the sand
fill at the north end, which was soon
washed down stream, taking with it
the fume and power plant. The dam
remained intact. Nick Rock, who was
in charge of the plant, discovered the
water coming out around the flume,
and realizing his danger, made dash
for terra firma. He found his retreat
cut off in one direction and lost con-
siderable time retracing his steps.
He got up onto the road just as the
power house went down. Bjerstad,
assistant at the plant, lost a violin,
a trombone, which he had but recent
ly purchased, and motorcycle.
The plant is owned by the Clifton
Light & Power Co., of which B. w.
Utman of Prescott, is principal stock
owner. Power was generated here to
furnish electricity for Prescott, Wis,
and Hastings. The loss to the com
pany will amount to between $4,000
and $4,000, which includes the loss
Of the power house, the fiume, and
the damage to the machinery.
The company is now negotiating for
the erection of a 25-foot concrete dam.
which will be started as soon as pos
sible. Until the new plant is COM
pleted and ready for business,
hastings company will furnish Pres
colt and Hastings with electric power
and lights. The Clifton Light and
Power company has also in mind the
erection of a reinforced concrete dam
about one and one-half miles above
the Cole dam. The proposed dam will
be 96.7 feet high and the two plants
together will generate from 1000 to
1 200 k. W. continuous.
The Eau Gale river overfowed its
banks early Friday morning and
flooded the streets of Spring Valley,
causing a property loss of several
thousand dollars. Many cattle in
pastures along the Eau Gale were
drowned The interiors of many of
the stores at Spring Valley were
flooded and the business men of that
city were obliged to use row boats to
reach their places of business.
The destruction of the Hatfield
dam, on Black river, and the release
of the water behind it caused a flood
that practically carried away the
business section of Black River Falls,
Jackson county. The citizens re-
ceived warning in sufficient time to
escape with their lives, but were I'M
able to save anything of value in the
flooded district. Leverett Farley of
this city, who is teaching in the Black
River Falls schools, was in his room
at the Freeman House when the
flood came on and left that building
just a moment before it was washed
away.
