. Canadian forest industries 1884. Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. THE CANADA LUMBERMAN! 51 becoming exhausted, and there is no prospect of replenishing. The situation is hourly grow ing graver. Many appeals have been received from inundated parts of the surrounding coun- try for provisions. Cincinnati, Feb. 9.—At 9 the river was 63 feet inches, a rise of over four inches since midnight. Ths weather is cooler. At Gallip- olis the river is four feet higher than last year. The impression thas a large tract of the city is covered by water is erroneous, and the portion submerged, except in the suburbs, is not much used for residences. The arrangements for pre- serving peace and preventing crime are better than whe i there was no flood. Portsmouth, Ohio, is almost entirely under water, and completely cut off from outside communication. The water is fourteen inches higher than the flood of 1832. The river is still rising, and many houses are floating away. There is great suffering and worse still is ex- pected. At daylight this morning a fire broke out in a feed store in the midst of the business portion of the city, caused by the slacking of lime submerged in the rising waters. Six buildines were burned to the water's edge and the walls fell in. The churches are all under water. Every engine-house and school house in the city i9 filled with drowned people. The river is rising over half an inch an hour, and it is raining hard. We have not heard from any place for three days. The people are in great distress. Wheeling.—The situation anong the home- less grows worse. Not enough food can be pro- cured to feed them and give aid to neighbouring towns. The mayor said to-night he had hoped to avoid appealing for aid to the country at large, but feared it would have to be done. Clothing and food and money are badly needed. At Glass house two children died to-day from exposure and insufficient and unfit food. On
