North Topeka constitutes the First
Ward of the capital city of Kansas. II
is located on the north shore of the Kan
sas River, known colloquially as the

ants, many of them negroes. Until TWEEN
ty-tive years ago it was an independent
municipality, but now it is included under
the same government as Topeka. The
Mayor of Topeka resides there. 1t has
three railroads and railroad stations, ele-
yators, mills, lumber yards, stores, banks,
schools, churches, and it represents, or
did represent, fully one-fourth of the
wealth of the city Of Topeka. 1t fronts
on the river and north and east of it is
Soldier Greek, stream that flows from
the prairies ON the north. Beyond this
creek the ground is higher
The river normally is about 1000 yards
vide at spring tide. Saturday night it
spread all over the low lying ground on
either side, and fully five miles wide.
