Manager Branhall of the Woodland Logging company, which concern was probably the heaviest loaer, estimates the company's loss at 1,000.004 feet. The total loss to the loggers of the Lew la river country, says Mr. Bran hall, will not exceed 1.100,000 feet of tog lToss oa the Lewis. When the flood was at Its height and the town of Woodland was In dan ger of being swept off the map, re ports were sent out that. fully 10,000, 000 feet of logs had been swept Into the Columbia, and that ot more than 10 per cent of this could be saved. However, according to prominent log gers, at least IS per ceat of the total, amount of. timber washed down has been saved.
