A Flood in the Kansas,
(By the Associated Press }


Kansas City, Mo-. August 15.-Traffic
between the two Kansas cities is practi-
cally suspended today, all the temporary
pile bridges erected after the great flood
in June have been endangered by rise
in the Kansas River. The river has been
causing more or less trouble for the past
two weeks, the result of continuous heavy
rains west of Kansas City Following last
nights heavy rainfall the river rose a
foot. 1t continues to rise rapidly today
and it is predicted that it will go four
feet higher before the waters finally spread
and the river begins to subside. At Ar
mourdale, which was wiped out in the
June flood. the river is fourteen feet above
low water mark and seven feet higher
than the lowest mark recorded since June
1t will have to go fifteen feet higher, how
ever, to reach the town proper and the
only damage possible is to the bridges
The current is so swift that rowboats can
hardly live in it.
The stopping of traffic over the temper
airy bridges caused a rush for the flow
line bridge, which supports the pipe car
rying the city's water supply. The gate:
at each end OF the bridge were torn of
in the anxiety of those seeking to get to
opposite sides of the river. The bridge Is
a comparatively frail structure and at ono
time there were nearly 300 persons On 1T
There was danger of the bridge falling
and 1T became necessary to nail up The
gates and force persons from the struc
ture. The bridge is too high to be dam
aged by any but tremendous rise IN the
river which is not at all likely. Later
one of the bridges was re-opened to pedes-
trians.

THE RAILROAD 1AXAS.
The Corporation Commission
Make no Changes and
Certify These Today

The railroad, telegraph and telephone
and other taxes, determined upon by the
North Carolina Corporation Commission,
go on the books today.
The Commission will FINALLY certify
these down to the State Auditor this
morning, and the amount is materially
the same as published heretofore in the
News and Observer.
The railroads and other transportation
companies which were not satisfied with
the valuations made by the Corporation
Commission have been heard by the Com
mission but only in a few minor cases
has there been any changes or lowering
OF the figures fixed upon for taxation.
In the case of the three largest sys-
TENS in the State there has been abso-
lutely no change and the valuation placed
upon the Southern Railway, the Atlantic
Coast Line and the Seaboard Air Line
remains at the figures nrst given out.
The tax which will come direct to the
State Treasurer is in round figure one
hundred and eighty thousand dollars from
the sources mentioned. Last year these
amounted to about one hundred and five
thousand dollars, showing an increase of
seventy-five thousand dollars in the taxes
tn be paid upon the valuation made by
tho Corporation Commission.
Besides the taxes paid direct to the
State Treasurer there will be certified
down the amounts for the various coun-
ties, this for county and school purposes.
The taxes from these in round numbers
is six hundred thousand dollars for this
year rs against three hundred and ninety
five thousand dollars last year, an IN
crease for this year of about two huu-
dred and five thousand dollars, this
amount to go for county and school
purposes.
49, These calculations are all III round
numbers and are approximate, but close.
Lest wear the combined valuation OF all
classes of property of the class in ques-
ton was about s44,00O,0OO, while this year
it is $4,000, 900, an increase OF O.OOO,-
600. The tax rate on the valuation is %
cents on the s1OO for State purposes, so
cents on the 500 for county and school
purposes.
The Commission over-ruled the excep-
tons of the railroads, to the valuations
except in the case of the Norfolk and
Western, where the valuation OF $4,000
a mile on its 81 miles OF road in this
State was reduced to $4,000 mile. Up
to last night there had come no iniunc-
ton against the certifying down of the
tax valuation, and in the office OF the
Corporation Commission none is expected,
but the matter is regared as a closed
issue, with nothing left to the roads
but to pay up.
The only road with executive head
quarters in the city is the Southern and
both Vice-prcsident Andrews and Attor-
ney Fab H. Busbee are out OF the city.
The general impression made by their
absence is that they will no longer re-
sist the valuation made by the Commits
sion, and that this will be the course
of the other roads concerned.
