provided for; that city traffic could not
be interrupted by the railroads and
that the railroads could not stand
aside for the city traffic-hence the
construction of viaducts. The railroad
tracks were spanned, in other places they
were raised and the wagon road builded I'M
derneath the tracks. And since the first
viaduct was constructed sixteen years ago
Omaha has kept up the coed work in pro-
viding for its traffic, until now it stands at
the head of all towns of its class-and its
class is the first class-in the number of
viaducts. Up to date it has no tunnels or
subways seven miles in length, because 1t
does not need one, but it has constructed
viaducts with such regularity and has been
so persistent in making good its roads that
the dedication to the use of the public of a
viaduct eXCites a moments interest and the

@UTURE generations. and even this
generation, will never believe
- that where the immense struc-
ture at the foot OF Douglas street
spans the mighty Missouri, a half
century ago the "49ers" had to haul water
in which to float ferry boats that carried
long lines of freight wagons across the
river; the next generation will likely not
believe the old man who remembers the
time he brought a wagonload of pumpkins
to Omaha and had to wait forty minutes
while a freight train was switching before
he could cross the tracks into the city In
safety; or the old man who remembers
when the mud was so deep that he had to
go home after getting in the city limits
and bring back another team to pull him
out. And all will wonder from whence
came the inspiration that caused John G..

An uncomfortable temper, and tendency to be

THE BRAz0S. FLOOD.
River Continues 10 Rise-Thousands
Of Acres Inundated.

The Brazos river continued 20 ris,
slowly all day yesterday. and late
yesterday afternoon was still rising
an inch and a half an hour. A great
or part Of the plantations In the low
er bottom were under water from one
to six feet, but the greater part of the
cotton was still not covered. When
asked for an estimate Mr.. w. T..
Saunders said he thought fifteen TO
twenty thousand acres Of land tribu-
tary to Bryan was nnder water. The
water has been out so long that,
whether the cotton IL covered or
not, the plant Is likely to throw off
everything on II. and whatever Is
made will have to grow after the
food and stand the chance of des-
truction from the boil weevils, which
makes the prospects look glowing
enough.
The reporter talked with parties
from east OF the city. and they say
while there has been too much rain
entirely, and the cotton Is throwing
of, there is still some chance OF
IN k ing cotton with favorable
weather unless the boil weevils and
other pests destroy the crop.
Reports from up and down the
Brazos towards Hearne and Nava-
sofa show that the same distressing
prevail with varying de-
grees and few exceptions, owing 10
aud that the loss will
be very heavy indeed.
