KAW CUTTING AWAY LAND.
Like Mountain Torrent Through
NpM Channel al Manhattan.

MANHATTAN,-(Special.) The Blue
and Kaw rivers have risen about six
feet on account of the heavy rains Of
the past two days, but both rivers are
now at a standstill. The swift cur
rent Of the Kaw is causing some
alarm. The new channel about ore
mile long, has the same fall as the
original stream had in nearly six
miles, and this cclges the water to
rush through like a mountain torrent
The channel is already about a quar-
ter of mile wide and continues to
cut away the land. Buildings near
the bank are being torn down to gave
tie lumber and hundreds Of peaGh
and apple trees are being washed down
the river. The soil through which the
new channel runs is very sandy. Sew
eral acres of land are being washed
away daily.
