Gus but nature has provided for prac-
tically all of this and Topeka would
simply have to construct the bridges
and make a few alterations in the
depth. This would cost little compared
with the work on the main channel.
The government reports rec eived by
Mayor Green are very valuable to the
city. Engineer Rogers said this morn
ing: I'VE can use them to a great adj
vantage. They will give us bearings
on future work and although they are
very expensive plans and call for mucn
labor and sacrifice, the city appreciates
their value and correctness
Their advice as to the construction
of levees was good They said in part:
THE levee should be eight feet wide
on top and should be sodded or reverted
on the river slope. 1t should be three
feet above expected regulated flood.
The levee should extend up the river
to such a point where the correct flood
slope would strike the present tPhk
line. Width of the levee along the city
could be advantageously increased for
driveway and other public uses"
Taken all in all the report of the gov
eminent engineers is of great value to
the city and will be used for all future
reference and the base for future plans

CENTRAL AVENUE BRIDGE
City and County Reach Agreement for
Reconstruction.

The city public works committee,
composed of Councilmen c. E.
Jordan, w G. Tandy and City En-
gineer Rogers together with Mayor
Green met with the board of county
commissioners at the court house this
proposition that will be of great
benefit to the city of Topeka as we'll
as Shawnee county. The meeting was
to consider the Central avenue bridge
question in North Topeka where the
dikes are being built at this time and
where the old bridge is practically
worthless for use when the bikes are
completed.
''The Central avenue bridge over
Soldier creek will be reconstructed as
soon as the plans and contracts can
be let,'' said the city engineer this
ers have promised to pay half the cost
of construction and the city will pay
the rest
Since the dikes have been in action
in North Topeka the drainage board
has confronted the city with another
Soldier creek problem. The dikes
will be seven feet in the air at the en-
trance of the bridge and it
necessitates the raising of the bridge
and the pavement The city has
taken up the pavement at this point
and piled it to the side awaiting the
finishing of the bikes and the prob
lem of raising the bridge has brought
out the fact that a new structure is
absolutely necessary to span the big
trenches and reach the pavement. It
has been planned to make the bridge
almost twice as long and allow one
end to rest on the bikes. The other
end will rest on the original bank
The bridge in use at the present time
is out of date and to make matters
worse has the inverted truSseS. These

ing Great Floods
Approved by Government Engi-
neers in Report Received.
CITY ENGINEERS PLAN
Does Away With Expensive Idea
Raising Melan Arch.
More in Line With Natural So
luton.

The official government report on the
flood situation in the city of Topeka
was received at the office of Mayor
Green this morning and gave the COM
plete plans and specifications of the
ideas of the government engineers.
They conform with the condensed re-
port given by City Engineer Rogers at
a council meeting long ago and elabor-
ate on a few of the plans invented by
the city engineer.
The government engineers paid a
great compliment to Topeka's city en-
gineer when they approved the plans
of the latter in constructing a supple
mentary channel for the Kaw and in
this manner preventing the terrible
destruction of the annual floods.
Not long ago City Engineer Rogers
gave out the information that the Kan
sas river could be damned for an ov-
erf1ow at the break of 1904 and an over
flow canal be constructed from this
break straight across the north end of
North Topeka and into the original bed
again. This big experiment looked
rather pipe dreamy to the city at first
on account of the apparent mammoth
cost but since the flood question has
received so much attention and has
brought out so many new phases the
idea has been given a serious thought
and to many it looks as though the un-
near future.
A Natural Cutoff.
During the late floods Mr.. Rogers has
noticed that the Kaw has taken a nat
ural flood course on the other side of
North Topeka. 1t broke through half
mile west and followed a low piece of
ground straight east to the next bend
of the river. It is well known fact that
the velocity of a water course is the
most important factor in it's disposal.

lowed out the river would have a We
locity four times the present current
and much more water could be ac-
commodated.
1t would be necessary to make a
concrete dam on the river at the point
of overflow. This dam should be high
enough to keep the water in the regu-
lar bed at its normal stages and the
new channel would be a dry bed. When
the river rose to danger point the dam
would overflow and the surplus water
would be cut off at this place and fol-
low the canal to the river again about
Ia miles in length. The water would
have a bee line course through this ca
nal and would have no hindrances. In
other words where the regular river

trusses form regular dam to the
water and floating debris.
At the meeting this morning the
city and county came together on
every detail of the bridge and decided
single span at this place. 1t will be
useful for every purpose. 1t will also
be Strengthened to conform with the
direction of Central avenue and the
ugly curve at this place will be a thing
of the past.
1t is necessary that the work on the
bridge commence at once. The bridge
is used by the residents of vast ter
ritory northwest of the city and if the
bikes are allowed to precede the work
on the bridge these people will find
it necessary to make roundabout
tour of several miles before they can
cross the creek.

CHARLES QUARLEs is DEAD.
Leader of Wisconsin Bar Passes Away
Suddenly in Milwaukee.

acknowledgements Quarles, leader
of the Wisconsin bar and one of the
best-known lawyers in the middle
west, is dead. He died suddenly at
his home and it is believed his death
was due to heart disease. His sudden
end was terrible shock to the mem
bers of his family. for although he had
been slightly indisposed, he was en-.
joying fairly good health. The news
of his death will cause widespread re-
gret among a large circle of friends to
whom he had become endeared by his
kindly qualities and never failing good
nature. Mr.. Quarles was 81 years of
age. He is survived by a widow and
four children, Louis Quarles and
Charles B. Quarles, who were associ-
ated with him in the law firm of
Quarles, Spence C Quarles; Henry
Quarles, who is senior at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, and Miss Ethel
Quarles, who is student at Vassar
college. The dead lawyer was a
brother of Joseph V. Quarles, former
United States senator and now United
States judge for the eastern district
of Wisconsin.

State Capital Notes
Weekly Budget Gathered by Our
Special Correspondent at Madison.

Madison.-An interesting case of
the statute which creates a fire and
police commission in cities of the Sec
ond and third classes, and places the
chief of police and chief of the fire
departments under the civil service
laws, may result from the election of
George Appleby as GAINESVILLE marshal
to succeed his brother, William H.
Appleby, resigned. The fire and police
commission followed the letter of the
law as interpreted by the city attor-
ney. The city council has had the
selection of the city marshal. Friends
of the defeated candidates are now
urging that the validity of the law be
i tested. 1t is alleged that the law is
faulty as regards the situation in
GAINESVILLE, as the city works under a
special charter, while the attorneys
who have been employed to defend the
new chiefs right to the Office say. that
the law provides that the rule shall
be in effect III every city, whether I'M
der a special charter or not. 1t is
probable that the present council,
which has one more meeting, will at
tempt to take some definite action, as
the majority of the retiring members
are opposed to Mr.. Appleby.

IN CONGRESS.

Suppression of anarchy as the
greatest question before the nation
was called to the attention of con-
gress by President Roosevelt in spe-
cial message. The executive submits
what has been done under existing
statutes, but says there should be
further legislation.
During a session full of violent talk
the house adopted two new rules de-
signed to prevent filibustering by the
Democrats. 1t also passed Speaker
Cannon's two resolutions that call on
the departments of justice and labor
for information concerning the So
called paper trust.
The naval appropriation bill author
izing the construction of two instead
of four battleships and eight instead
of four submarine torpedo boats, and
carrying total appropriation or
$103, 1867, 518 for the naval service for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909,
was reported to the house by Chair
man Foss of the committee on naval
affairs.
AS an aftermath of the passage of
the army appropriation bill Senator
Hale, chairman OF the committee on
naval affairs, warned against increases
Of the military establishment, saying
they were inviting a deficit. He
moved the reconsideration of the vote
by which the army bill was passed
and his motion was then laid on the
table at his request. Senator Burkett
characterized the proceeding as one
of bad faith. The senate passed the
fertilization appropriation bill carry
ing an aggregate of $12,106,187.
The special house committee investi-
eating Mr.. Lilley's charges against
the Electric Boat company learned
thai some one in the navy department
had been giving out parts of navy
reports.
