"The floods no doubt have done
much damage to certain individuals,
railroads and business concerns. How
ever, no great commercial center is
involved; the operations of our major
industries are undisturbed, and these
floods hardly amount to a national

"Curiously enough, the high point

occurred right around the average
date Of the top of the Spring rise
which date, computed from a long
