Storm ON tho Pacific Coast.

PORTLAND, Oregon, Jan. 20. "A fierce
storm has been raging about the mouth Of the
Columbia River for the past two days. To-day
the maximum velocity Of the wind reached
sixty-two miles an hour. During tho fury of
the gale last night. rockets were fired from a
half dozen points along the sea horizon. and at
midnight guns were heard. The life savers
mad several attempts to launch their boat.
but the sea was running so high that they were
forced to abandon the task. When morning
came four vessels were seen pounding on tho
sands. There was snow in the air. and the
seAmen, who could be seen lnshed to tho mnsts.
suffered terribly In the biting blasts. The crew
Of one vessel was rescued late this afternoon,
the life savers having shot q lire over her gun

Tonight the wind is blowing great guns and
there seems to BIO no chance OF reScuing the

The wind that struck the town yesterday
came from Michigan. and picked up cold
enough in it's transit over the big lakes to drop

here it travelled leisurely, which is about forty
miles an hour for a Western wind in January,
but it hadn't whooped around here long until
it kicked up it's heels and started up the coast
