NAPA.

NAPA, January 30th.-During this last
storm over inches of rain has fallen. The
river was foot higher than ever before, and
the water was over a foot deep in the streets.
In many of the stores the water did consid-
erable damage. Fences and several houses
were washed away. The water has now
subsided, and the streets present a picture of
destruction. Sidewalks and culverts are
washed away, and the town is covered with
a deposit of mud from FIVE to twelve inches
deep. The railroad roadbeds are washed cut
in many places. The extent of the damage
cannot be estimated.
SANTA CRUZ.
SANTA CRUZ, January 30th.-It is reported
here that Camp Capitola at the mouth of
Sequel creek, four miles from here, is thing
of the past, all the buildings, lighthouses,
ETC., having been washed out to sea- and but
four cottages remain-those being high up on
a side hill. The work of devastation was
complete. Through the untiring efforts of
our citizens the upper bridge across the San
Lorenzo has been saved SO far and has been
closed up for travel, being unsafe, having
settled in the center nearly two feet. The
San Lorenzo is now falling. The wind is still
indicative of more rain.
SANTA CRUZ, January 30th-6 P. M.-The
damage done at Camp Capitola is not as se-
rious as reported, being little or nothing. 1t

works property will approximate thousands
of dollars to repair. Considerable damage
was done to the property cf Davis Il Lowell
at their lime kilns. No mails OF express
matter have been received here since Friday.
An engine of the South Pacific Coast Rail-
road is reported buried by slide in the road
