PARE TO FLEE FROM PER-
lied AREA.
WATER ENTERS EAU CLAIRE
Blasting of Dam at Park Falls to Save
Mill Releases Great Volume
of Water and Increases
Danger.

Eau Claire-Great alarm is felt here
because of the rapid rise of the Chip
pewa river. Residents in lower sec
lions of the city and farmers on low
lands some miles below here are pre-
pairing to flee to higher ground with
their families and stock at an instant's
notice. Several families on the lower
west side have already quilted their
homes. A number of farms on the
Chippewa bottoms, seventeen miles
below here, are under water.
Trepidation is felt because of the
crest of an enormous volumn of wa
ter. loosed when the dam at Park
Falls, above Cornell. was blown up.
The dam was destroyed to save a pa
per mill there. The river here is now
at the highest point in years. At Chip
pewa, part of the 500 tracks are COW
cred.
