There is still an uneasy feeling in
North Topeka regarding Soldier creek:
The creek bank just above the central
avenue bridge was badly washed out
by the late flood so that a rise like
those that are not uncommon would
cause an overflow. Sucn rams as that
of last Sunday are quite sutflc1ent to
cause alarm and fears not altogether
unreas enable. Whether dykes are
soon built or not some repairs should
ut once be made at this point
The near approach of fall and the
recent rains tend to make the lawns
beautiful and green and North To-
peka can boast of having some OF the
most attractive lawns in Topeka.
Among those which make the best ap-
'pearance and are composed almost en-
tirely of blue grass are the grounds
of J. B. Belts, S. H. Haynes, c. e.
Jordan, W. S. Bergundthal and d. j.
Hathaway. These n1un nave all taken
great pride in identifying their places
since the 1903 flood and have GER
tainly accomplished great results of
which they may we'll. be proud.
