Mayor Wright yesterday purchased two skiffs for the use of the
police force in case of emergency. He visited the flood points in Newport
yesterday and no suffering is reported. There are only two classes of floods in
Newport benefit and those are the saloon keepers and expressmen.
Along Front street it was nearly impassable yesterday and the water has cut off passage on Bellevue street at Isabella, where it is four feet deep. On the corner of Southgate and Isabella streets the water is twenty feet deep.
