Motor traction is slowly but surely
gaining popularity in England. A re-
sent case is quoted Of miller who
used to keep forty horses. He bought
One five ton motor truck and found
that It did the work of ten horses
- s
and five ordinary trucks. The yearly
charge of the motor truck was about
$3.50, which included interest on cap
ital, depreciation, repairs, fuel, drivers
wages, oil and insurance. The same
work done with horses cost him be-
tween $500 and $4,000.

TOPEKA GRADUALLY EMERGING

TOPEKA, June 6-The Kaw river fell
two inches an hour throughout Friday
night and today the south side of Kansas
avenue was uncovered clear to the bridge.
In some residence portions of North
Topeka, however, the water still stands in
eddying pools and rushes down cross streets

Of three feet. At the present rate the en-

Sunday.

SAMPLE OF RAILROAD HUSTLE
Burlington Practically RebuiIds Road
60 st. Joe TO DumBfOund Evil
Prophets.

Whatever you do, keep clear Of the
Burlington direct" said a prominent rail
road man to a would-be traveller at St.
Joseph last night. Trains are running
but they are liable TO break down at any
moment and stall you on the way. You
have no idea" he continued, "how bad
the tracks are. II isn't safe to travel
over them"
Warned by this. the passenger, who ar
rived in Omaha yesterday, was ohary Of
the undertaking, but It had to be and he
went. All along the road at almost every
yard evidences were plain of speedy but
effective work. In several places the en-
tire bed had. been washed out and replaced
by trestles erected over innocent looking
creeks which earlier were raging torrents;
ballast had been replaeed, ties laid and
rails put in place. II looked as II the
whole road had been built over again since
the food, but 1t was all in place and the
waters, which still lave the sides OF the
embankments, are apparently impotent to
harm.
So far from the St. Joseph warning prov
ing we'll grounded, It appeared TO have no
foundation whatsoever. although II was
very patent that a day or so ago there was
practically no track at all between the two
cities. The task was not. however, ac-
complished without much effort. as section
men were brought in from all directions.

telephoned to the st. Louis police for aid
in rescuing the imperiled villagers. The
sheriff stated that only light boats are
available at st. Charles and that the heavy
current makes It impossible to reach the
people. Immediately Harbor Commissioner
Whyte was notified and requested to rush
the harbor boat to Black Walnut. The
appeal was futile however, because the
high wator will not permit river steamer
to pass up stream under Fades bridge.
Word was telephoned to Alton, where the
steamer Spread Eagle is moored, and 1t
is probable it will at once start on a rescue
trip.
Sheriff Dierkes at st. Charles telephones
that the water is rising rapidly and unless
the people are rescued speedily there will
be great loss Of life before morning.

The correspondent of the Terdps adds;

unanimous that Pope Leo has been slowly
wasting away for some time. The pope

except the faithful Centra. The pontiff
appears not to desire that others should

Bottoms.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 6.-Thousands
of men and women, armed with shoveis
and brooms, are invading the west bottoms,
following closely the receding waters, and
by nightfall much will have been done to-
ward restoring the wholesale and stock
yards districts to their former condition
of activity.
The Missouri had fallen slightly over two
feet during the past twenty-four hours at
o'clock this morning, and a still greater
district was uncovered. The Kaw also
continues to recede at an increased rate.
Today hundreds of fiat cars loaded with
sand and construction material pushed the
work of reconstructing the miles of washed
out or damaged tracks in the yards from
here to Armourdale and Argentine.
The railroads alone will put several thou
sand men to work Immediately and all lines
are making preparations to resume busi-
ness. Today it was possible to reach and
clean out to a great degree the wreckage
at the stock yards and at the live stock
exchange, where the water at its height
stood fifteen feet deep.
Three shifts OF men are working night
and day at the pumping stations to restore
the water supply to its normal condition,
and as this service improves the likelihood
OF an epidemic of sickness is disappearing.
The first train to enter the Union sta
ton since Saturday rolled into the station
tonight with whistles blowing. 1t was the
Carthage & Joplin express of the Frisco
railroad. All the locomotives in the yards
that had steam up shrieked a welcome and
crowds on the BLUM cheered. This. Santa
Fe, Alton and Missouri Pacific will re-
sumo use of the station tomorrow. The
Rock Island, Burlington, Chicago Great
Western and Alton lines are now oper-
ating to Chicago. but not entirely on their
own tracks. The Missouri Pacific still has
the only direct line between Kansas City
and St. Louis. The Wabash has abandoned
service between Kansas City and st. Louis.
The Santa Fe has nearly complete oper-
alton on its west lines by using round
about route to Lawrence and a lengthy
circuit by way of Emporia to Topeka, The
Union Pacific is operating by way of Grand
Island, Neb., and Ellsworth. Kan. The
Missouri, Kansas & Texas the Frisco, the
Kansas City Southern and the Missouri
Pacific are in complete operation from Kan

BONNEVILLE, Mo-, June 6.-The waters
in the Missouri river have begun to re-
cede. The flood crest passed here yesterday
and remained stationary until this morn
ing, when it began to go back. The gauge
on the Bonneville bridge shows fall OF
| four inches today.
The heaviest damage has occurred In
the Howard county bottoms for eight miles
above the Bonneville bridge, due to the
breaking of the Cooper levee. The loss of
live stock has been large. as the people
depending on this levee did not remove
their stock out of the bottoms. After the
| levee broke it was too late. The water
plant will be able to reopen by Tuesday.
