DAMAGE TO LUMBER. In Flood Districts is Great—Left Mudcake on Boards. C. H. Colter of the Smith & Bell company, who returned from Wabash, brought with him a sample of the way the floods treated the lumber in the yards In that city. The boards are piled up with inch sticks between them to allow forte necessary seasoning and preserving. When the water from the "Banks of the Wabash” came up it covered the lumber piles, l letting the water run through the open | spaces between the boards. When the water subsided, a sufficient sedi-' ment of mud, fully three-quarters of, an inch thick was left on the boards. I [This became hard and dry and it is I necessary to use shovels in scraping [it off. The boards are then scrubbed | and washed in an effort to get back (their natural whiteness. To do so, seems to be an impossibility, as the mud seems to have left an irremovable brownish stain. Mr. Colter brought a sample of the mud-cake with him, and it is of much interest tb visitors at the Smith & Bell office. oPOPE GREATLY IMPROVED.
