A Sentinel special from Ashland, Wis., says: Another heavy downpour Wednesday night aggrevated the flood situation. The village of Odanah on Bad river, where the accumulated floods from White, Marengo and Bad rivers concentrate, is completely Isolated. The Northwestern railroad bridge at that place is tottering and the track for a mile is under water and culverts are washed out. It may be several days before any trains can move over the Northwestern, Omaha or Soo lines. The people in Odanah are sleeping In tents and on the high lands, the whole village being flooded.

Report Is to the Effect that

United States Steel Corporation Is to Absorb the American Car & Foundry Company.

Chicago and New York Wednesday, but was denied yesterday by officials of the corporation. Old memlxri of the board, however, say that when there is so much smoke there is usually some Are and that they are expecting developments in this matUr everf day. One of the biggest of the many Plants of the American Car and Foundry company will be located at Gary and was secured through the influence of the steel corporation. It is plausible that if the steel corporation takes over the American' Car and Foundry hompany that they will make their Gary plant the headquarters of the hompany in plare of St. Louis, where the general offlles are now lorated. This would mean a big thing for the Steel city. It is believed also that if the steel corporation gains control of the car and foundry company that work will start on the construction of the plant this fall. As matters stand at the present time It does not seem likely that steps for the erection of the plant will be taken before fall.
