STREETS RUNNING
FULL OF WATER
Town Of ArmourdaIe Abandoned
and l2,oOo People Are Waiting
For Flood to Subside.
The Evicted People Find Shelter for
Themselves and Their Belongings
and Are Waiting Time When
They May Return With Safety.

Kansas City.-The great Kaw-Mls
souri, food, which has almost reached
its crest, drew hundreds of thousands
of sightseers to the bluffs overlooking
the flooded bottoms on Sunday. The
water has done all the damage that Is
in It's power. The railroad yards have
been evacuated; the packing houses
and business establishments have
vacated their lower floors; Armourdale
has been entirely abandoned by its
10000 inhabitants, and water is run
ming twelve feet deep In its streets
There is no excitement anywhere, the
evicted people having found shlter for
themselves and their movable prop
erty. There is nothing to do but to
wait for the tide to turn.
Officials and business men of both
Kansas Cities express a determination
to put an end to the annual floods
The great difficulty has been that two
states having two city governments,
the United States government, three
counties and numerous interstate rail
roads are involved. During the past
year the United States has declared
the Kaw navigable stream. This
gives the war department authority to
order the removal of the Union Pacific
and Missouri Pacific low bridges,
which obstruct the river and cause the
overflow OF Armourdale and the stock.
yards at every high water Any
scheme of raising the banks Of the
Kaw would involve elevating the rail
road tracks. One measure proposed
is to cut canal across the point OF
land where the Missouri makes it's big
bend to the east. This canal would
carry the Missouri overflow from a
point above Kansas City to a point
several miles below. The city Off
cials of the two Kansas Cities are CO
operating in steps to control the rivers.
