TOWN FLOODED
DAM GIVES WAY
Black River Falls Is Swept
by FLOODS.
CAUSED BY HEAVY RAINS
A Number or Business Houses and
Dwellings Destroyed--A Three

Structure To Go.

Lacrosse, Wis.-The situation at
Black River Falls, town of 1000 IN
habitants, which was swept by flood
when the waters of the Black River
swollen by recent rains, washed
through the ,embankment Of the III.
crosse Water Power Company dams at
Hatfield, is worse by far than was
even feared when the flood swept upon
the town.
Half OF the business section has
been destroyed, together with a part
OF the residence district, and 1t Is
said by the townspeople who nave
taken refuge on high land unable to
mako an effort for the protection Oh
their stores and homes, that the town
will be wiped out. Whether or not
lives have been lost is not yet GER
tain.
Thus far two persons have not been
accounted for

The buildings have been not merely
flooded. but destroyed. The water
flowing in tremendous volume, under
mined one building after another, ana
as each collapsed the debris for the
most part was carried away. the
fremont Hotel, three-story struc-
ture, was the first to go. No precau-
tions could be taken to stop the
wrecking OF the town, the residents
finding it a difficult problem to save
themselves, their families and more
valuable possessions.
None of the stocks in the store was
saved and little of the heavier furnl-
ture in the houses, the people, al
though they knew of the overhowlng
of the Hatfield dam, showing little
fear of its effects Until the waters
burst on them.
The disaster was caused by The
sudden rise OF the Black River behind
the two dams from the Lacrosse
Water Power Company following rains
which lasted almost a week The dam
withstood the pressure, but in each
case the river washed around the
side. taking out a big section of the

the agency which passes upon many
important cases arising under the en-
forcement of the pure food law. DR..
Wiley, on the one hand, and Solicitor
McCabe and Dr. Dunlap on the other,
we're the members of the board. DIR.
Wiley declared that he was usually
outvoted and made a number OF SEN
satlonal statements in the investlga'
ton of the controversy. Smarting
under the frequent overruling oi MS
views wherein he held food products
deleterious to health, he told con-
gressional committee that he regard
ed his associate, DR.. Dunlap, as his
superior officer.
Secretary Wilson's brief announce

cepted.
Dr. Dunlap was acting chairman OF
the board when Dr. Wiley was absent
from Washington. Whether DR.. Dun

" to the fact that he is to take the

THE PROPER TRIBUTE.

Why do we lay upon the bier of our
loved ones tributes of affection ex-
pressed In garlands of flowers, so soon
to fade and die? Is it that we think,
in our binding grief, that the subtle
fragrance of the blossoms will watt
beyond the tomb message of love to
the departed one? Garlands there are,
indeed, that will bear this message
from our sorrowing hearts across the
chasm of death, and watt their frag-
rance to the Throne of Grace in petit
ton for the happy repose of the soul
of our loved one, and these immortal
blossoms are the garlands of masses
that we offer for the dead. Then let
these be the flowers that we lay upon
the bier of our beloved when death
seals the ears to our words of endear-
ment; let our tender message of af-
lection be carried on the wings of this
great sacrificial prayer, and plead for
the souls of those we love.
