mayor gave him $40 bill. When Mr..
Dunno counted up he found that the
check should have been for $3.50.
Soon the man who waited on him
presented a bill for $3.50. The fellow

Topeka. 1t is said that some such channel
is now cut, and all that is now necessary
is to help nature out, and it would not
need to drain Soldier creek into the river,
as some have supposed, but to provide a
source of escape for surplus water, sort
of spillway.
The river is almost always low enough
to afford a perfect drainage for half the
water in Soldier creek, even a its highest.
Another suggestion that has been made,
and that is largely favored by the resi-
dents of the bottom lands along the Cen
trail avenue road north of the creek, is
the cutting of d channel from a point
along the south banks of the bluff, where
the land, unlike that west of the city, is
of little value. and make an almost
straight canal into Indian creek, thence to
the river near Calhoun Bluffs
This would be the simplest and cheapest
way to protect North Topeka and the
lands directly north but would not pre-
vent the overflow above the Rochester
road, the reform school property and the
rich bottoms west of the city that have
suffered so heavily within the last three
years. 1t seems already evident that any
practical amount of dyking will only be
an uncertain remedy, since what may help
in one place, may work injury at points
farther up. We have learned not a little
from the floods of the last three years,
and the whole matter should now be care
fully studied and the state and the rail
road companies may reasonably be asked
to unite with the county, as the reform
school, state institution, has been one OF
the heavy sufferers.

TO RELIEVE SOLDIER CREEK.
Correspondent Suggests Permanent
Overflow Canal to River.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
Soon after the great flood two years ago
some one in a public meeting proposed
that a canal should be dug at some point
west of Topeka, connecting Soldier creek
with the river. The idea if not ridiculed,
was not treated with any consideration.
A year ago Soldier creek overlooked its
banks and submerged a large portion of
the farming country to the west, In North
Topeka it overlooked at Central avenue
and flooded nearly all the First ward.
Then the bridge was raised the dyke built
and last week another flood was prevented
only by the skin of our teeth, as the
Prophet Job has it.. 1t took % hours of
work at night and day to do It. All this
effort would have been in vain. however,
had the creek not burst its banks flood
ing the lowlands on the west of the state
reform school grounds and much of the
Shorey neighborhood and threatening
North Topeka from the west, a danger of
which many were not then fully aware.
Now the question of a waste water canal
from the creek to the river is more seri-
ously considered In a case like the big
flood such channel would answer no
purpose, but nine times in ten it would
save these farm lands, the state property
and prevent all danger of a flood in North

of the coroner. At 7:45 DIR. Knott
was reached by the telephone and he
announced he would come and look
over the dead mans teeth.
