Topeka, July 15.-It was feared that
the river will cut away the made land
west of the Rock Island dump. This
is under water to the depth of several
feet and should the current sweep in
there it would undoubtedly cut the
soil away. The Rock Island pumping
station was forced to shut down as the
water had reached the 6rebox. The
men employed there had waded about
in the water all day and the coal to
feed the 6res had been hauled across
u long plank reaching from dry soil to
the building.
On the north side of the river Keuhne's
picking works were in danger. as
the water had risen into the yards
surrounding several of the smaller
buildings. These have been moored
to heavy stakes and poles There is
also section of territory east of Kan
sas avenue which would feel the effect
of such rise. The water had crept
up Jefferson, Madison and Monroe
streets until it was stopped by small
rise at Crane street. The stock yards
at Wolff's packing house were under
water.
The Granville road, leading out of
North Topeka, was covered in many
places to a depth of five feet. Much of
the surrounding farm land an the
vicinity, on that side of the river, is
under water, and there is no estima-
ting at this time the amount of loss
the farmers have sustained.
