THE PEOPLE READY.
Present Flood as Compared With That
of 1903

Even few inches of water in parts
OF North Topeka will result in great
damage. but this damage will be. slight
In comparison with the wholesale de-
structton which occurred five years
and one week ago. when the govern
ment gauge registered 1927 feet.
Some of the stores between the 500
and 1900 blocks on North Kansas ave-
nue., will be damaged by any water
on that level because the main floors
of the buildings are so low, but it must
De remembered by optimist and pessi
mist alike, that North Topeka was in
the condition that it is today for
eight days before the real flood OF
until the main current broke through
the banks of the Kaw. Up to May 80,
1908, the people waded around in
North Topeka, moving their household
goods and merchandise to upper
stories, or laughed good naturedly at
the efforts of the backwater from Sol
der creek to get into their houses.
They could not imagine a flood, with
a current running at a speed greater
than that of the Mississippi river, ~
to Ii feet deep in the streets-tearing
out the west walls of their buildings,
and escaping from the east sides with
explosions of glass and masonry which
sounded like cannon shots.
Because of the wonderful nerve and
optimism of the North Topeka people,
the flood of 1903 found ready and easy
victims for its force. Because these
people were confident, they refused to
strain their imaginations, and calmly
def1ed the waters to destroy the town
Spectators of that great flood saw
hundreds of people sitting calmly on
their porches. or wading around in
their yards, who, in answer to the
question, why don't you get out %
replied: whats the use of being
afraid? 1t is impossible for the water
to get any higher" And about thirty
of these people died like rats in a trap,
penned in their own houses.
The big flood of 1903 had It's effect
Besides devastating the First ward, it
taught the surviving residents that
nothing is impossible. For that reason
North Topeka might be swept off the
map tongiht, and the loss of life would
not be so great as it was five years
ago. The people purchased caution at
great price. and for the 4S hours
just past residents have been moving
their families and household goods
from the danger zone This move is
no reflection on the bravery of the
North siders. 1t is not cowardice to
keep hand out of the fire after it is
once burned. The people know that

DYKES IN BOILER ROOM.
Precautions Taken to Keep City Sup
piled With Water.

Precautions were imme diately
taken by Superintendent Shaw of the
city water works department Sunday
when reports were received indicat-
ing that the Kaw would flood the low
lands to protect the pumping plant
located west Of the city. Cement
dykes have been constructed across
the entrances to the boiler rooms so
that fires can be kept despite the
high water, and water for fire and
domestic use be supplied.
These barriers are almost four feet
in height and have so far kept the
flood waters from the boiler rooms,
and are regarded as sufficient protec-
ton from the rise of two or three
feet which is anticipated. However,
force of men will remain at the
pumping plant tonight ready for an
emergency and If the water threatens
to go over the barriers which have
been erected. they will be heightened.

WATER IN FIRE STATION.
The North Topeka Fire Apparatus
Moved to South Side.

At PAS this afternoon the water
was a foot deep in the North Topeka
fire station and was rising rapidly. All
the fire apparatus had been taken to
the South side. The business men
had completed the work Of moving
their stocks to upper floors and had
locked their doors and left for dry
land, some of them wadded down
Kansas avenue, carrying their shoes
every street.
The water on Crane street on the
South side had reached the platform
of the Seymour building. 1t was about
four feet deep. The current is swift
down Crane street as well as on Cor
don and Kious streets in North To-
