.KAW RIVER FLOODS
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAD
TO MOVE AWAY.
ArmourdaIe, a SUBURB Of Kansas CITY,
No., Is Under Twelve Feet OF water
-Kaw and Missouri Rivers are
More Than Thirty Feet Above Low
Water Mark.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 15.-The
great Kaw flood, that has almost
reached its crest, drew hundreds OF
thousands of sightseers today to the
bluffs overlooking the Hooded bot
toms. The water has done all the
damage that is in its power. The
railroad yards have been evacuated;
the packing houses and business
houses have vacated their lower floors;
Armourdale has been entirely aban-
doned by its 10000 inhabitants and
water is running IL feet deep In its
streets There is no excitement any
where, the evicted people having
found shelter for themselves and their
movable property. There Is nothing
to do but wait for the tide to turn,
as the weather bureau says 1t will
tomorrow. The weather today was
generally fair in the Kaw watersheds,
with only a light shower here and
there, and this inspired hopeful feel
ing. Weather Observer Conner says:
"A height not to exceed 81 feet will
be reached in both rivers. The Mis-
souri, was at 80 feet at p. m, a rise
of three inches since noon and rising
half an inch an hour. The Kaw was
29.4 feet above low water at p. m.
and rising at the same rate as the
Missouri. 1t is impossible to predict
the duration Of the high water or
set an hour for its recession, because
of the weather conditions. Rain is
still threatened in the north and west"
The Kaw is discharging freely into
the Missouri and is expected to fall
before the Missouri does. The Kaw
receded seven inches at Topeka last
night and continues to fall. At St.
Joseph, the Missouri, which rose yes
terday, is now stationary.
The Union station is still above
water and will be safe II the rise is
IS inches more. The railroads are all
moving trains with difficulty, being
obliged to detour in every direction.
| Officials and business men of both
Kansas cities express determination
to put an end to floods. The great
difficulty has been that having two
city government, the United States
government and three counties and
numerous interstate railroads are In
volved. During the past year the Uni
ted States government has declared
the Kaw navigable stream. This
gives the war department power to
order the removal Of the Union Pa
cific and Missouri Pacific low bridges
which obstruct the river and cause
the overflow of Armourdale and the
stockyards at high water. Any scheme
of raising the banks of the Kaw would
involve elevating the railroad tracks
One measure proposed is to cut q
canal across the point of land where
the Missouri makes its big bend to the
east. This canal would carry the Mis-
souri, oveflow from a point above
Kansas City to a point several miles
below. The city officials of the two
Kansas cities are cooperating in steps
to control the rivers.

TEN was given a thorough test, trains
being handled by the block cards when
travelling at a speed as high as 65
miles an hour.
In the opinion of each member of
our party the system of controlling
train operation devised by Mr.. Beamer
is success" said Mr.. Forbes. ITO my
mind its chief merit is in the safety
which it affords while at the same
time facilitating train movement. |

The Roosevelt Dam in Arizona

The Roosevelt dam will eclipse in
magnitude of cubic contents all of Tie
dams at present under construction by
the reclamation service. 1t will con-
tain 100000 cubic yards of masonry,
or over six times more than the Path
finder, and nearly five times as much
as the Shoshone dam. Its height will
be 280 feet from foundation, length on
top $50 feet (or, including spillway
bridges, 1880 feet), and its thickness
at the base 165 feet. In plan, although
built in the form of an arch, this
structure differs from the Shoshone
and Pathfinder dams in being of the
gravity type, wherein mass alone is
sufficient to secure stability.
The resulting reservoir will be the
