Millions Of Dollars
Damage Is Certain.

Nevertheless damage to the extent
of additional millions is anticipated
from the waters pouring through the
crevasse into the plantation and sugar
cane belt, which will not go down prob
ably for week.
Back water from the Torras crevasse
has reached 1rwinsyille and a fleet of
boats was sent there today to rescue
$50 persons marooned in the town The
situation in Morgansea is also critical,
due to the weakness of the levee at
that point.
Three additional deaths are reported.

A Futile Strike
Of Misguided Men

The EFFORT OF the international Printing Press
mems union. at the direction of President Berry,
to tie up The Georgian has miserably failed And
an act of bad faith that any honest workman ought
to be ashamed of is in fair way to meet its just
reward.
Taken absolutely unawares, and on short no
tice, The Georgian was DELAYED for sn hour more
in getting out Saturday evening. But today full
press-room crew has been recruited, and The Geor-
gian is being printed about usual The noon
edition appeared on time.
The unwisdom of the action of the Atlanta
pressmen S union in agreeing to this absurd base
less. unfair and unreasonable strike, is illustrated
by the fact that their union confreres in New
York, Boston, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Los An
geles, Kansas City Syracuse, Albany. and many
other cities, refused to agree to violate their sol
contracts with publishers i'll order to help
President Berry make one last desperate stab at
MIR. Hearst and the other newspaper publishers in
Chicago. The outcome in Atlanta will be addition
al evidence that the Atlanta web pressmen have
followed bad advice
ANY individual organization which can not
be relied upon to keep it's word especially when
that be written in black and white so clearly as to
leave no ground for disagreement to terms and
meaning. can not expect success to attend its en-
terprises.
The union pressmen in Atlanta have shown
that contract with them is worthless The Geor-
gian. therefore, will not depend upon them in flu
ture but vii undertake to show that it and
will be published on its own resources. The
ton of the web pressmen in Atlanta and San
Francisco, where a similar sympathetic strike
called, shows that these men do not realize the
necessity of repairing the prestige and reputation
of organized labor from the damage it sustained in
recent records of violence For they are adding
exploded contracts to physical destruction bur
den for organized labor to carry.
The Georgian and Mr. Hearst have ALWAYS
been fair, even liberal to organized labor This
newspaper has kept every jot and little Of its
tracts with the unions with which it deals Mr.
Hearst has always done so The only criticism of
Mr.. Hearsts relations with union labor has been
from other publishers on the ground that he
too liberal with them, paid too high wages and
employed too many men. 1t seems almost ironca
that a Hearst newspaper, without refusing single
demand Of it's men, and in the face of sol
emn undisputed contract with its employees
should be involved in a strike. Those who are
sponsbe for it will have to bear the burden Of it's
consequences To them this will be the loss of good
positions with generous employer, and prompt
liberal pavmaster.
The Georgian will continue to be published
daily. and will have the sympathy and support of
all people who believe in the faithful keeping of
promises and the unvarying performance of written
contracts.

DELTON MAY TAKE
CASE INTO COURT

Unless the declaration openly made
by the town authorities of Delton at
the time of their appeal to the state
tax com mission for rehearing Of the
Kilbourn dam tax case was bluff, the
squabbIe will get into the circuit court
again, says the Portage Democrat.
The town demanded that its share be
fixed at Is per cent of the total valu-
alton of the property of the Southern
Wisconsin Power Co. and intimated
that unless it received at least % per
cent action would be started in court.
In the distribution of the assessment
among the several assessment districts
that had been previously made Del
toms share was fixed at 5.493 per cent
of the whole. The tax commission,
after considering the appeal, has now
announced 9.723 per cent as Delton's
share.
By their latest revision the state tax
commission have cut the total 1912
valuation of the Power Co.'s property
from 1915, 900, fixed by the assessors at
their recent convention in Portage, to
S89O,OOO. This cut of $50 900 is said to
have been made because other proper
| ty in the assessment districts is as
sessed only at an average of 70 per cent
of it's true market value.
Portage, although its share of the
W |. ole valuation is raised from 3.525
per cent to 1929 per cent, gets only
$34, 1858 property valuation under the
new ruling instead of Sac, 1896 fixed by
| the assessors.
KiIbourn's percentage of the whole
is reduced from 70.967 per cent to g..
1856 per cent.
Four new towns now are admitted
to share in the distribution of as
sessment-K;Idare and Lyndon in
Juneau county and Springville and
Dell Prairie in Adams county. The
company owns overlooked lands in
| those towns.

ENTERTA|NS IN THE WEST

This office has recei ed recent copy
of the Boise, lado, News which tells of
a number of social events in which
Mr.. and Mrs. E. j. Frswley partici-
pated. Mrs. Frawley will be remem-
bered il Baraboo as Mrs. Mayme
Osborne. At a luncheon given by
Mrs. o. V. Allen, wife of the state
treasurer, Mrs. Frawley won the first
prize. Mr.. and Mrs. Frawley attend
ed the wedding of Miss MabeIle
Maurine Meholine and Chester Francis
Scott which was one of the most
beautiful home weddings ever solemn
lied la Boise. Mrs. Frawley gave a
luncheon an account of which reads
as follows as printed in the Boise
News:
Perfect in every detail with superb
artistic effect in coloring and arrange
ment was the luncheon given Friday
afternoon by Mrs. FraWley in honor OF
Mrs. w. e. Pierce's natal day, which
very fortunately fell on the wedding
anniversary of Mrs. Cox, and which
these two ladies enjoyed in common
as Mrs. Frawley's guests. The beauti-
full Frawley home was never more
lovely. The rooms were darkened and
the electroliers throughout the house
were full and brilliant, with drapings
of crimson barberry and asparagus
fern. The large electrolier over the
banquet table was draped with white
clematis. A huge bowl of red roses
centered the table, which, as was the
buffet, was covered with a magnifi-
cent cluny lace cloth. A small bowl
containing two red roses and spray
of clematis was placed before the plate
of each guest. These bowls with the
large center bowl were of the Relique
china, in ivory gold and pale blue
forming ar exquisite color effect. The
place cards were in RED roses, also. The
library and living room were richly
decorated with beautiful chrysanthe-
NUNS of gorgeous coloring. In the
drawing room pink roses of the Caro-
line Testout variety made the air
fragrant with their perfume. An
elaborate eight course luncheon was
enjoyed by the II friends seated about
the table after which bridge was
nlaved. The prize was won bv Mrs.
Collister. One of the prettiest effects
in decorative schemes was the golden
coloring in the big porch gained by
the massing and grouping of the wild,
yellow sufowers which grow so plenti-
fully in certain localities near town.
During the progress of the luncheon
Mrs. Pierce was the recipient of a
number of little gifts of decidedly
ludIcrous character which created
much merriment among the ladies.
