It is now believed that the mbankment to
tho Island brid se has been secured and work
enough should De laid out upon it to make it
safe in the future.
1t will require considerable effort to keep
the water from backing up the slough. but
we hope this will be done Ii would cause a
good deal of Inconvenience and suffering if
the water should fill the slough.
In Davenport considerable portion of
Front street is under water.
The water is higher now than ar any time
remembered, except the big high" of 1859,
and it is pretty near up to that.
