IIond LOSS Great.

1t would be hard to estimate the
loss to Kansas railroads from the 1915
floods. Thousands of feet of track
have been washed away and repaired;
traffic in many instances has been ut
terly demoralized; stations have been
flooded: bridges have been carried
away: Wrecking crews have been
working night and day. and all this at
great expense to the companies.
The railroads will have spent millions
for repairs by the time the trouble is
all over. The heavy rains in Kansas,
Missouri. Nebraska, and Oklahoma.
have caused them a lot of grief.
