@rDAL WAVE ON LAKE,
Wall of Water Swept in ON West
shore of Lake Michigan, Gauss
ing Much Damage,

Chicago, May 12.-Reports Of a re-
markable tidal wave along the west
shore of Lake Michigan were received
Thursday. The wave seemed TO be
the highest at Kanosha and Racine,
Wis, where a wall of water swept In,
causing much damage and alarm along
the docks. At Chicago the wave sim
ply raised the stage Of water and
caused very heavy current down the
drainage canal. Boats navigated the
river with the greatest difficulty as a
result of the high current
Weather conditions In Chicago
Thursday afternoon were such that a
recurrence of tidal waves along the
west shore were anticipated. The rains
during the last "a hours have been al
most unprecedented. Within a few
hours the frc department answered 80
calls to pump out Easements in various
parts Of the city.
The wave is attributed to difference
in barometric pressure at different
points producing wave or "seiche."
The pressure being relieved at one
point, the water rushes under with
pressure on the surface some distance
away. Severe thunder storms are ex-
pected to continue on the upper lakes.
The weather map Thursday closely re-
sembled that of May rs, 1896, when
the destructive tornado at st. Louis
and other western points did so much
damage.

TO FOLLOW CUSTOM.
State BOard AsseSseH Private Car
Lines mt One-QnArter in Place
of Full Value.

Topeka, Kan, May 1.-THE state
board of railway assessors completed
its work Wednesday. 1t had some Diff
iculty in fixing a basis for the assess
ment of private car lines. The law re-
uuired car lines to report the average
number of cars they have in the state
The companies claimed 1t was impossi-
BILE to furnish this information. The
best they could do was to give the
number of miles their cars Travelled
in the state, which they did. The rail-
roads hauling the cars also declared 1t
impossible to give the number OF
"car days" of each car line. So the
hoard got at the matter by dividing
the mileage reported by $50, represent
ing the number of miles car should
move a day, and reached the car
days" in that way. This gave. $50
cars in the state on an average the
year around, and they were assessed
at $500 for refrigerator and stock cars
and 5000 for tank cars. The total as
sessment will aggregate about $4,000.
The board decided that 1t was imprac-
tiicable to distribute the tax on this
amount throughout the state, as the
law provided, so it adopted resolution
fixing $4.3S per 500 as the tax levy and
ordered the car companies to pay the
tax direct to the state treasurer. This
will net the state aDout $4,000. The
counties and townships will get moth
ing from the assessment. .a
The board assessed the Pullman COM
pany 100000 on its cars in Kansas.
This was on At standard cars at $4,000
each, and thirteen tourist sleepers at
$4,000 each. This is an increase of ST.
900 over last year.
The Standard Oil pipe line assessment
was left as it was returned by the COM
pany-$2L5S.7S5. This is higher than
the same property had been assessed
locally.

property was assessed at $181,473 1t
