Flood Destruction,
Emporia, Kan, July 1.-THE work
of surveying the Cottoonwod river be-
tween Emporia and Marion was begun
last week when Fred F. S;hafer, drain
age engineer, arrived in Emporia with
a surveying party. The party includes
twelve men. surveyors, engineers, in
strument men, rodmen and cook and
the camp is located across the river
from Soden's mill. From this point
the survey is being made west. 1t is
estimated that it will take three monhs
TO traverse the entire distance.
This survey is carried on by the
United states department of agricul-
t1Ire. the bureau of drainage investi-
cations having direct management.
Representative Miller received SO
MANY petitions from constituents liv-
ing in the flooded portions of the Cot
!tonwood bottoms, asking that govern
ment help be enlisted in tanning the
unruly stream, that the attention OF
the proper department was secured.
The survey will not provide remedy,
but will serve to recommend the best
plan to be followed. The costly sur
vev is carried on at government ex-
pense. The work is costing at least
$40 a day.

New York, July 11.-Some buying
of Missouri Pacific was attracted by
the May earnings statement, which
showed a net gain of $554,550. This
