IN CASE OF FIRE.
What Would Wichita Do Without the
Watcr-Works?

Monday evening when the overflow from
the Little Arkansas river was cutting a
great channel across Lanes island and
threatening the destruction of the water
works splendid pumping station. people
asked with much concern: What will
Wichita do in case OF fire if the water
works are destroyed?"
That was problem the very contem-
platicn of which made property holders
turn rale. Fred Dold was the first man
to solve the problem and cause people
to breathe easier. He said:
1.-The city water pipes are laid to the
packing house. and if the water-works
pumping station is destroyed we will set
our engines to work pumping water into
the mains. We would get it from CHS
holm creek and it would not be very
clean water. but it would put out fire
That was somewhat of a relief to know
that water could be had from some
other source. The Cudahy plant has the
same kind of a connection and when the
two big engines were started to pump
ing water into the mains they could give
the city plenty of water TO put out fires.

REPORTS NOT EXAGGERATED.
Judge Wilson Says Kansas City's
Plight Is DepiorabIe.

Judge Wilson returned yesterday morn
ing from Kansas City, and says that the
food reports from that city are not ex-
aggerated in the least. He spent Sunday
in the city and owing to the lack of
trains had difficult time in returning.
Not only is traffic almost suspended in
Kansas City, but large stretches OF track
between there and Wichita are washed out
and under water. Mr.. Wilson describes
the conditions of a large per cent of Kan
sas City's citizens as deplorable. Acres
and acres of business and residence dis
tricts are under water, street cars have
ceased TO run, the waterworks are closed
down and the Convention hall is filed
with people made homeless and desti-
tute by the food. Sunday water stood
four feet deep in the Union depot, and the
only bridge left standing across the river
was the Hannibal.
