Thirteen • Towns Partially in
Ruins as Result of Break
ing of Dams.
LOSS SEVERAL MILLIONS
Aged Women Rescue Twenty
Bed-Ridden Inmates of the
Almshouse.
LaCrosia, Wis., Oct. 7.—Thirteen
towns were partially In ruins today as
a result of the breaking of three dams
across the Black river. Greater dam
age was threatened when It was re
ported that a break tn a fourth dam, a
*2,000,000 structure, at Hatfield,' Wis
was expected.
Scores of persons were reported miss
Ing today from the flooded towns and
from farms In the Black river valley,
and early telephone reports Indicated
that many deaths had occurred. Be
cause of the Interruption In the wire
service Into the stricken district no ac
curate estimate of the number of dead
could be obtained.
A remarkable story of the rescue of
75 women at Black River Falls was told
here. [The women were Inmates of the
alms house and 20 of them were bed
ridden. When the upper dam above
Hatfield broke, carrying out dams at
Chippewa Falls and Bloomer and flood
ing the valley, the aged women who
were able to get about rushed to tho
rescue of their disabled companions
and curried them to safety Just before
the building collapsed.
Property loss from the huge tidal
wave, that swept down tho valley
amounts to millions of dollars. The
business-section of BMbk-fWyer Foils
was • swept • away and many buildings
at 'Hatlleli!, Halcyon. Wrlght.VJtrvlng,
Melrose, North Bend, Sievenatown.
Glasgow, Decorah Prairie. Lytles, Ona-
laska and North LaCrosse collapsed.
Three Persons Killed by Floods

Dams Washed Out.
LaCrotae, Wis., Oet. 7.—Three uer-
sons were killed when floods from a
bursting dam swept away the town of
North Bend today. A message stating
the number of dead and starting the de.
tails of the disaster was begun, but left
Incompleicd, tho wire being swept away
by the flood.
City Under Water.
The cry for help was Issued at the
Instance of Mayor McGill. Harry Get):,
mnn, foreman of the telephono com
pany, climbed a shaky telephone pole
around the base of which the water
swept, and, cutting In a "test set” on
one of the long-distance wires, was
Anally able to get the message thru.
According to tha message this morning,
which was short and hard to under
stand owing to the poor condition of
the wire*, the city la under water and
the flood threatens to destroy the town.
The residents have been driven to the
hills, where, after the flrat downpour
of the evening stopped, they passed the
night In the warmth of hundredi of
camp Ares. Other Ares could be seen
at point* on the hills along the river.
Indicating that the whole valley, haa
been devastated and the people forced
lo the open.
In Black River Falls the telephone
plant Is . Inundated and messages ego-
nqt be sent from there. For many miles

That Seems To Be the Chief
Trouble With the State Ag
ricultural Department.
AULT PROBE IS UNDER WAY
Result Will Probably Be a Re
organization of the System
of Making Inspections.
The Ault probe of the state depart,
ment of agriculture will probably de
velop but one thing—the laxity of tin
laws now governing the appointment of
oil and fertiliser Inspectors and ths
manner In which the Inspection or oil
and fertiliser Is operated by statute.
At least, It Is upon this point that the
Ault committee, designated by the last
legislature to probe the department, will
direct Its central Are, If the work thus
far accomplished by the sub-committee,
which met Friday afternoon. Is to br
taken as a criterion. •
It is plainly apparent from tho sub-
committee’s hasty examination of Com
mlssloner T. G. Hudson's voluminous
report taken up for consideration for
the A rat time Friday afternoon that
tho agricultural department will "come
clean.”
The sub-committee, composed of Sen.
ator Harris and Representatives Ault.
Wimberly. Hlxon and Cabanlss, met In
the state library Friday afternoon at
1:*0 o’clock and hurriedly went over
tho 400-pege report to determine pre
liminary action. •
Commissioner Hudson’s explanatory
statement, covering >15 typewritten
pages, accompanied the report and was
also considered. The commissioner’s
.original Intention of making this por
tion of the report public was changed
upon a consultation between the mem
bers of tho sub-committee and Captain
R. T. Wright, assistant commissioner.
It was decided to withhold the entire
report until a complete Investigation
had been made.
Representative Ault was designated
by the sub-committee as a sub-sub
committee to summon such witnesses
as he might think necessary to suc
cessfully carry on the Investigation, and
also name an auditor to check the de
partment tor the last one and a half
years, and summarise the report for
the consideration of the members of the
committee prior to calling the first ses
sion of the entire body.
This Is practically all that was ac
complished by the first meeting, but It
was evident that the oil and fertiliser
Inspection would be given the closest
scrutiny., Out of ths Investigation Is
likely to grow an entirely new eustem
of handling the oil and fertiliser In
spection of the state.
It is futile to overlook the fact that
the probe If the department has been
given a political aspect both by the ene
mies and friends of Commissioner Hud
son, and It was upon oome of Its po
litical features that It was partially
fougM and urged In the legislature
pending the passage of the Ault resol'i-
th-n. which made It possible. TMi was
rested.
Crumbles,
k building on
hill 100 foot from the river bnnk crum
ble up and drop Into the earth. In a
minute more the flood was swooping
by where It had stood. The water lint
undermined the hill on which It had
been built,” sold W. W. Holcomb, who
arrived here today from Black River
Falls.
"At another place a knoll (0 feet long
was undermined and sank from sight,
carrying the poor house, a largo white
structure, with It. On the apace where
these two buildings had been there wap
water enough to float the biggest bat
tleship In the navy. The flood raced
down Water-at. at a rate of tefenty
miles an hour. Big warehouses were
swept away. It looked to me aa tho the
entire town was doomed and would b«
destroyed.'

Chippewa Falls, Wis., Oct. 7.—The
Chippewa Perils hare risen eight feet In

\ .1, In II' 1 - I ,.|| I..II.I 111.'II in l III1I all
franchises granted within the last two
yean contain a provision that should
the companies ever consolidate the
franchises would bo revoked unless the
consblldatloh met with tho approval of
tire mayor and council. ,
The companies It It planned to con
solidate are the Georgia Railway and
Electric Company, the Georgia I
Company, the Atlantn Water and
trie Company and the Atlanta Hydro-
Electric Company. The-Georgia Pow
er Company was granted a franchise to
lay conduits all over the city that Is
(fualltled with the provision giving
couribil the right to approve a consol
idation and so are a number of other
minor franchises.
The forming of this giant company,
It Is pointed out. will give a monopoly
of practically all electrical power pro
duced by water In this section. And
coal-produced power can’t compete with
that produced by water. The power
plant at Bull Sluice It aleo Included In
the consolidation and this dam la at a
point above the city waterworks sta
tion that furnishes tho city Its water
supply. Every precaution will be taken
by the city officials to prevent any In-
terferenca that might Impair the dty'a
water aupply.
The conaolldatlon would eliminate
any probability of competition for the
clty-e lighting. And when this propo
sition Is brought before council It may
ICad to a new contract for city lighting
and tho charges against Individuals.
“We have no apedAc fears that this
consolidation mean* tho leaat harm to
the city," says Councilman Aldlne
Chambers, "but wo are going to In
vestigate It to see that the city la well
takon care of.”
A* to the matter of taxation there has
been some differences between the city
officials and the state authorities, the
officials believing that they do not get
enough franchise taxes. This 9Iso may
be brought up.
, Tho approval of the slats railroad
commlaalon must be secured before
any bonds or stocks can be Issued after
a charter Is granted, so It.will be some
time before the' matter cornea, before
council. But data as to Ita effect on
tha city of Atlanta is be!nr secured and
eloaely studied by tha officials.
