4IO VOTES CERTAIN,
MORE ARE IN SIGHT

Wilson had not polled a majority OF
the votes cast throughout the coun-
try. Estimates ranged from a small
majority for all votes to figure near
ly one million below a majority. The
popular votes, however, would in no
way affect his election or his COM
plete control of the electoral college
should it show his total to be less
than that of the combined vote for
Roosevelt and Taft.
There were many surprises
throughout the day and night. Ear
ly in the day New Hampshire, first
credited to Taft, went definitely into
the Wilson column with a majority
of about 1900 for the democratic can
didate. Returns from Idaho, which
came in scattering from early in the
day, favored Wilson so strongly as to
create the belief that it would give
him it's electoral vote, but late re-
turns made it the third state to go
ceratinly for President Taft.
BULL MOOSERs SCARED.
The Roosevelt forces, watching
the returns hourly as they came
from Illinois, suffered a scare as the
downstate democratic districts re-
duced Col. Roosevelt's plurality from

New ork, Nov. 6.-Returns up to
late hour seemed to assure Wilson
and Marshall more than 400 votes in
the electoral college Iowa and Kan
sas which, with Minnesota, South
Dakota and Wyoming, were in the
doubtful" column, in the day, seem
ed almost sure tonight to swell the
democratic total in the final align
ment of states.
Possibilities of a further gain re-
mained for Wilson through the ac-
cession of both Wyoming and Min
pesota. In the former state he led
Taft, by a small margin with one
third of the vote tabulated and in
the latter was a few hundred votes
ahead of Roosevelt in a similar pro-
portion of the total.
On the other hand late figures
from South Dakota tended to assure
the the state to Roosevelt, the pro
gressive candidate, heading by fair
margin and maintaining his lead
fairly well, on added returns

Again the imprefections of man are
evidenced in the breaking of the city

itself upon the mind of the visitors to
the scene of the early morning deluge
the fact that no lives were lost.
With roar like a Cyclone, the
southeast wall of the east basin of the
reservoir, which contained 100000
gallons of water, gave way shortly
after midnight, and for thirty minutes
or more that section of the city south
and east of the reservoir was swept
by the flood Brick walls caved be-

were chewed to bits by the washing
of heavy rocks, some of them weigh

smaller trees were uproOted and hurled
against residences. Frame residences
we're lifted from their foundations and
hurled against trees and other houses.
Some of the walls We're crushed like

New ork, Nov. 6.-Only the un-
certainty of a few close states
whose electoral vote in no way can
affect the election of Wilson and
Marshall speculation over the popu.
lar vote of the three presidential
candidates, and the complexion OF
legislatures that will name United
States senator's, held interest tonight
in the final returns of yesterdays
general election.
The total Of the republican cleo
toral column apparently was fixed at
the twelve votes of Idaho, Utah and
Vermont, but the footing Of the vii
son and Roosevelt columns flickered
alternately during the afternoon and
night, until President fleet Wilson
had 40 certain votes in the electoral
college; Colonel Roosevelt 80, and
President Taft 70. All Of the doubt
ful states, except South Dakota
gave more or less certain indications
during the night of landing in the
Wilson column, while South Dakota
returns showed a general trend to
ward a Roosevelt plurality.
POPULAR VOTE.
Estimates Of the popular vote poll
ed by Governor Wilson ranged
through many millions during the
day. It was found impossible to
compute with any of the presidential
candidates, and it will be a number
of days until the counting of the
three-cornered contest in the differ
ent states is concluded and an accu
rate tabulation of the vote made pos
sible.

SCOUTS MAY BUY FARM
Plan State Reservation for Badger
Boys-Sits Near Valley juno
ton Under Consideration.

Madison.-Plans are under way for
che purchase of a state reservation
for the Boy Scouts of Wisconsin. One
of the sites considered for such a
reservation where the scouts of Wis
consin could gather each summer is
Bonnie View, about two and half
miles from Valley Junction. A nat
ural lake and adjoining farm with a
humber of cottages, the site of a
camping resort, are points in it's ia
vor.
The purpose is to have in Wiscon~
sin for the Boy Scouts second ''boy
city" such as was held last year in
Indiana. The farm, with its thirty
acres of cranberries, would be work
ed by boys in summer and would be
the source of considerable income.
Efforts may be made to have the
farm, which is part of camping re-
sort, bought by company of men in
terested in the Boy Scouts. After
purchase the grounds would be self
supporting. All state patrols of the
Boy Scouts would be welcome to
camp at the farm for one or two
weeks each summer.

aggregating an overcharge of up
ward of 100000 annually. This is
one of the conclusions demonstrated
by the evidence presented to the leg
islative fire insurance investigating
committee, according to a statement
made by Insurance Commissioner
Ekern.
The testimony also indicates that
Wisconsin is a profitable field for in
surance companies in that the ratio
of losses to premiums is more favor
able than in the country as whole.
Excepting the year 1910, which was
an unfayorable year for all classes
of companies in Wisconsin, the per-
centages for each year show a more
favorable loss ratio in Wisconsin
than upon the business of these com
panies as whole. The losses i'm
Wisconsin are about 4 per cent lower
than outside OF this state.
