Washington, Aug. 31.-By far the
most comprehensive flood report ever
submitted by the weather bureau has
been sent to the public printer. 1t
was prepared by DR.. Frankenfield, fore
caster for the department, and dis
cusses in Its practical. as well as its
scientific phases, the floods in the
kaw, Missouri and Mississippi. His
report win show that the spring foods
OF 1903 in the Missouri and Kaw rivers
and upper Mississippi were the most
destructive In the history OF the coun-
try and were the greatest in the vol
ume Of water, with the exception OF
1874. The fact that lesser volume OF
water in 1903 created greater havoc is
due to the narrowing Of the channels
Of the river by the march Of ciyiliza-
ton up and down the water courses
and the reclamation OF lowlands Dr..
Frankenfie1d corrects an erroneous
popular impression that forests make
rains. He says that while they do not
make rains. they are valuable in that
they retain the moisture. In recent
Fears the denuding of the forests
makes 1t possible for the water to reach
the water courses much quicker than
when there were extensive forests.
This causes quicker rises in the water
courses and enlarges the possibilities
Of destruction
In support of the assertion that there
was a greater volume of water in the
dood Of 1874 than in that at Kansas
City OF this year, DIR. Frankenfield says
that the water was two feet higher at
Kansas City than this year and 81
feet higher at st. Louis. Recent years
cave seen the river at Kansas City re-
iuced in width from 1000 to 1 100 feet.
This illustrates the contraction of the
water course and the resultant increase
in the speed of the current. There
were Is bridges swept from their
foundations by the Kaw river during
this years flood. The report says that
the Rock Island bridge at Topeka
formed perfect dam, over which
there was two-foot fall of water.
The report asserts that the total loss
from the floods in the upper river was
In round numbers $40, 900. This is
neither speculative nor an estimate,
out is based Sapon actual investigation
by the observers of the weather bu-
reau. The loss in the vicinity of To-
pella. Des MoineS and Kansas City was
largely to crops, railroad rights-of-
way and bridges and to the commercial
interests along the river. A loss Of
81, 500 900 was sustained between Han
nibal and st. Louis On the Mississippi
and between Alton and Kansas City
on the Missouri. The loss in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Kansas City was
s15, SOC, 900.

man, attorney general, will make his
first move against the Usage county

The attorney general suggests as a
remedy that the coal mined at the peni-
tertiary mines be admitted to the gen.

Usage county coal. However, he says
this plan could not be put into opera
ton before the winter of 1905, as

I'm the case of the United States against
Marion PrestwOod, a wealthy planter

well as negroes are being held in
slavery in Alabama. Prestwood was
charged with holding Robert English,
a white man, and his family of ten

tract with English in 1902 by which
the former was to furnish the English
family with rations in consideration

oWhen the English family tried to Sc
cure work to save themselves from
starving Priesthood had the old man
and six boys arrested, accusing them
Of burning turpentine boxes valued at
$46. This charge, Prestwood admitted
TO Commissioner Tutwiler, was ground
less. After the arrest PrestwoOd told
the men that as he controlled the mag
istrate he could send them to the peni-
Tertiary, but he said that if the family
would sign a contract to work for him
until 1905. to repay the SAG. he would
furnish them what they fad to eat. .

ened signed the contract, and have
since been at work for Priesthood
