COAST GUARDS ON WAY. Accompany Government Power Boats to Flood Area. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 25.—Equipped with life lines and first-ald material, two latest type Government power boats and a skift yesterday were sent on an Illinois Central train to aid in flood relief work in the Mississippi valley. Ten Coast Guards, headed by Capt. J. O. Anderson, commander of Chi- cago guards, will man the boats. Other boats also were on their way to the stricken areas from Green Bay and Kenosha, Wis, Meanwhile Chicago continued solici- tation of funds for relief work in the stricken zones with a goal of $250,000 set. The Chicago-manned boats will op-| erate, probably between Beardstown | and St. Louis, under direction of the | Red Cross, and will be launched at | Havana, Iil. ! Flood Sidelights By the Associated Press. With 9,400 square miles under wa- ter, the Mississippi River and its tributaries have eclipsed all previous flood records. The 1903 flood ove flowed 8,000 square miles between | Cairo, Ill.,, and the Red River. The 1903 flood was the previous greatest flood since the levee system was es- tablished. The hardwood industry of the Mis- | sissippi Valley States is threatened | with a curtailment of 50 per cent of its normal production this year be- cause of the floods, leading lumber- men of the section have reported. Logging and saw mill operations are at a standstill in practically the en- tire region. Prices have received an impetus upward by the production conditions. The Indians, Who in the eighteenth century, fought_the white man’s in- vasion' of the Mississippi, have now saved scores of flood refugees through | their burial mounds, the sole remain- ing relics of the aborigines. The buri grounds in many sections of the region are the only high points to which marooned farmers and families can flee. * Snakes swept about by the onrush- ing flood waters in the Mississippl River and its Arka s tributaries were reported to be finding refuge on | the levees. Not only have live stock and dogs and cats been saved, but wild animal r from human rescuers. Two game wardens cruising about Lambrook, Ark., captured two | fawns, swimming about In the huc inundated area, and brought them to Helena, the refugee concentration point of the region. Approximately | 200 deer have heen corralled on vari- ous points on levees south of Helenc by the State game authorities. At the Memphis refugee camp negro boys are engaged daily in base ball games, the relief workers having dis- tributed a complete outfit for the youngsters, most of whose families had been too poor to supply the bats and balls. Miss Ruby Phillips, long-distance telophone operator at Greenville, col- lapsed Sunday night after having been continuously on duty for more than 48 hours handling cails from hundreds of localities to the flooded city. Physi- | cians pronounced her condition not serious after firstaid treatment.

The trip will be started late this afternoon or tomorrow. En route to Memphis last night, M Hoover issued a statement explaining the purposes of his visit to the stricken region and calling on the American people to contribute “an absolute minimum of $5.000,000 to assist the unfortunate victims of this, the greatest flood in our knowledge of the Missisippi.” Need Food and Shelter. As personal representative of Presi- dent Coolidge, he said, his job see that everything humanly pos is done to assist the 100,000 already destitute and homeless and the others threatened with a similar fate.

The scope of the flood in Arkansas | ana Mississippt was graphicaily shown today by estimates of Army engineers showing 6,000,000 acres—approximate- ly 9,400 square miles—were under water. The flooded land constitutes some of the richest farming land in the United States, Government agricul- tural experts said, and the devasta- fon and damage will amount ) marye millions. Government officials would not make any estimate of the | k of opportu- alone, and excluding the Texarkana district, engineers said 4,064,480 acres had been inundated. The flooded regions included the St Francis Basin, one of the leading timber-growing sections of the coun- try, with dense tracts of cypress, oak, hickory and sycamore trees. Another heavily timbered section also is under water in the Arkansas River Valley, where the overflowed region stretches across the entire State from Fort Smith to the Mississippi River. The flooding of the White River s placed under water large farming of cotton, sweet potatoes and Along the Mississippi ban several counties; including Mississippi Crittenden, St. Francis and Lee, which are noted for their production of long staple cotton, have been in the path of the flood and are nearly entirely or partially under water. Other ~ rivers of the State, the Ouachita and Red, which flow through the most productive cotton region in regions, also are on the rampage and have inundated thousands of acres. More than 2,000,000 acres are flooded in_the rich delta region of northern Mississippi and hourly the water is covering thousands of ad- ditfonal acres. The deita is considered the most production cotton region in | the country In the New Madrid section of Mis- souri, also a cotton and timber produc- ing region, the Army engineers esti- mated 90,000 acres under water. The engineers here were uninformd as to the scope of the flood in Kansas, Okla- home and Louisian. In northern Tennessee and southwesterri Ken- tucky conditions have improved ma- terially, the engineers said, so that the flooded areas are considered negligible at present. The engineers showed 1,300,000 acres flooded in the St. Francis basin in A kansas, including parts of CI reene, Craighead, Poinsett, Cros: M ippl, Crittenden and St. Francis Counties; 1,400,000 acres in the White River district, these including parts of Independence, Jackson, Woodruff, Prairfe, White, Monroe and Desha Counties, and 1,044,460 acres in the Arkansas River Valley from Little Rock to the Mississippl River, but mainly in Jefferson, Lincoln, Pulaski, Faulkner, Conway and Van Buren Counties, In Mississippi, there are approxi- 2,000,000 acres under water, in Bolivar, Sunflower, Humphreys, Wash- ington, Issaquena, Warren and Shar- key Counties, DEAD PUT AT 300.
