The great Chicago, Burlington d

Denver railroad, says Eli Perkins in a
railroad letter. 1t is a conservative
road. Its stock is held by conserva-
tive people who live on it's dividends.
Instead of making Eighty extensions,
it puts it's surplus earnings into bet

President George b. Harris believes
in leveling it's grades and making it
the best railroad in the country. The

Three big cities grew up around this
great railroad.
"AIl we want" said Mr.. Harris. its
Woodworking president, lis to keep

AIRY which we drain. SO we double,
level grades and build big bridges to

who help make our road
Coming over on the 90" from Oma-

While riding along the road his eye

he doesn't need any written report

AFTERMATH OF THE FLOOL
CONDITIONS at ldnsds City
are Depressing

KANSAS CITY, Mo, June 6.-With
the rapid fall of the rivers, business
is resuming its normal condition. The
water works are pumping black water
from the Kansas river. not fit to
drink, and the danger from fire is
over. The fire underwriters met and
issued a statement expressing salts
faction with conditions. Electric street
street car lines are in operation. The
telephone and telegraph connections
will be established between the two
Kansas Cities today. lines being
stretched across the ruins of the
James street bridge.
Gangs of railroad repairers follow
close upon the heels of the retreat
ing food and the tracks are being
cleared of mud where covered and
brought to grade where washed out.
At dark last night the water was be
ginning to leave the floor of the union
depot. Men in rubber boots worked at
the depot all night, putting the build
ing in order.
At the stockyards $500 sheep and
800 cattle were drowned. A force of
men began to remove the carcasses
where lodged in drift. The current
through the stockyards district flows
ten miles an hour. This makes il
difficult to get about, the water being
still deep. but the stream carries
away the refuse promptly. In the
wholesale and packing house districts
OF the west bottoms the scene is even
more depressing than yesterday. The
water is not so swift, but additional
buildings have fallen and the lowering
OF the food has exposed heaps OF
ruins. In some places men with poles
are loosening the heaps of wreckage
to let II drift away This is the cas-
lest way OF clearing the streets. Fires
will probably be built TO destroy the
rubbish that is left when the water
disappears.
