The rivers show a lower mark than they did 24 hours ago and there is hope that the worst is over Rut there has been great damage and it may be days or weeks before railroad traffic is resumed to the eastward. All day Saturday Missoula was cut fT from the outside world. Not until night had there been wire communi cation and it Consisted of a single line to the west and none to the east. Saturday n'ght and Sunday morning the high water reached its maximum, registering the highest mark ever known in this country.

OLD RATES STAND Railroads Will Make No Advance In Near Future. CONDITIONS ARE NOT SETTLED President! and Operating Officials of Roads Fear Stagnation Would b Increased by Move. Washington, June 0 No general increase in freight rates is likely to be made by the railroads of- the coun try in the near future, if it Is to be made at all. At a recent meeting of presidents and operating officials of important railroads In New York it was the consensus of opinion that it was undesirable to put into effect at this time an increase of freight rates. It was pointed out that the pro posed increase in a time of depression would tend rather to increase freight stagnation than to stimulate freight movement. Such a result would be of only additional disadvantage to the carriers, the opinion being general that it would not induce increased revenues. Most of the officials who attended the meeting indicated a belief that railway business conditions were im proving The freight revenues and the passenger revenues, too show a notable Increase in the last month over the preceding three months, and a general revival of business in all in dustrial branches was reported from every part of the country. The judgment was expressed that if business conditions did not con tinue to show improvement it would be necessary for the railroads to adopt some method for protecting' the interests of their stockholders. Only two methods are suggested an increase of freight rates and a de crease in wages of employes It is quite certain that neither will be re sorted to before the first of next Oc tober, and some of the officials be lieve it will not be necessary even then to resort to either of the meth ods named. In some unaccountable way, the re port became general among shippers, especially in the middle west and the south, that the president and the in terstate commerce commission had given their approval to the suggested increase in freight rates. The mem bers have spent a good deal of time trying to get their correspondents right on the matter. While the commission has no power under the law to prevent the estab lishment of such rates as the railroads see fit to put into effect, unless after due hearing the increased rates should be found to be excessive, unreason able or unjust, it would be equally impossible and inappropriate for it to give its approval to any proposed increase in rates. NORTH TOPEKA IS ABANDONED. People Flee Before Great'Overflow of Kansas River. Topeka, Kan , June 9. The crest of the rise in the Kansas river is ex pected to reach here some time to night.
