PackinG House, Lose Much.

At 10 O'Clock tonight the Kansas river
was rising at the rate OF four inches an
hour. Swift's packing house has already
sustained a loss estimated at $1,000, 900.
The damage to Cudahy's n Swartzchilds
& Sulzberger will be nearly $4,000, about
equally divided between the two plants.
II is estimated hat the loss in Armourdale
to date will exceed 5000. 900.
Armourdale presents a strange picture
OF desolation. Almost a metropolitan city
and ordinarily one Of the busiest portions
Of greater Kansas City, the central bust
ness section, where are located the packing
houses. vast manufactures and factories,
is one great lake. Standing on Kansas

and only a stones throw from Swift's
plant. as far as the eye can see. the city
is submerged. svift's plant is surrounded
by water and can be reached only by boats.
The loss which the people OF the flooded

any further loss OF life will be reported
