FROM THE SOUTHWEST.
Yesterdays Wind Storm Played
Havoc About the City.
CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE DONE.
The Highest Tide on Record-It
Damaged Large Amount
of Goods.

I The heavy wind yesterday morning
between the hours of and O'Clock
: tore up things generally from one en-,
of the city to the other. In Uniontowi
the old Seaside cannery warehouse wal
knocked off it's underpinning and il
now total wreck.
The Norwegian M E. Church in Up
pertown was unroofed and its windows
and doors blown out. A. t. Bracker's
house, next door to the church, was
struck by flying debris, and the gable
end was considerably damaged.
At the Oregon Improvement Com
pany's bunkers the whole roof went
over into the bay.
Pieces of the roof trimmings of No.
Threes engine house went early in the
game Down the street short dis.
tance the tall galvanized iron smokes
stack on Swans restaurant, became
weak and leaned on the adjoining build
ing for support
The Scottish Glens, anchored off Fla
vels dock, shifted her anchorage to a
position on the sands, but was easily
removed at high tide. One of the gov
ernment barges also came to anchor, on
the sands.
The chimneys on F. L. Parker's resi-,
dence were damaged to some extent.
Up by the Clatsop Mill, when day.
break came on, the scene resembled al
place recently visited by Kansas cy-
clone. Boards were scattered in all
directions, and the streets had to be
cleared up before the cars could get
by. The sawdust elevator was wrecked
and other minor damage done. All over
the city breaks in the telegraph, tele- |
phone and electric light wires are re-
ported.
Later in the morning the tide'was the
highest ever known here, and num-
ber of cellars were flooded. Foard & |
Stokes stock was badly damaged by
water getting into their basement.
In Uppertown Ross Clinton and 9th,
ers were kept busy keeping floating logs
from the electric light poles. The tide
is reported to have done more or less
damage at various places along the
water front.
Over at Warrenton the large barn
belonging to ID. X. Warren was unroof-
ed. Considerable fear was entertained
for a while that the dikes in that vi
cinity would break, but at last ac-
counts they were reported all right.
On account of high water in the Skip
anon river, the bridge at Warrenton
was disabled and the Dwyer met the
train at that place on the afternoon
rip.
The government line went down early
md there was no way of ascertaining I
correctly just how hard the wind did 9
blow at the Cape, but parties up from /
lwaco last evening state that the OBJ
erver at that place reported 1872 miles, c
rhis is thought little stiff by Observer S
Srover, who is inclined to think that o
he life saving crews report of 102 miles '
$ nearer correct. The greatest registry u
ver made at the Cape was few years '
go when 104 miles was recorded.

The rapid growth of the Cotton States
and International Exposition is a mat
ter of wonder to even its ambitious
and enterprising promoters. The project
is already ten fold larger than the orig
inal conception, and some new feature
Is added almost every week The Sc
cret Of this growth seems to be that
the Exposition came on at the right
time. There is general disposition OF
manufacturers to reach out for foreign
trade; the home market is glutted, and
existing plants kept running would
keep 1t over stocked. The manufac-
turers meet in Cincinnati January 22d,
to form national organization, whose
principal project is to work for foreign
trade. This meeting came ont OF the
Cotton States and international Ex.
position. whose objects are largely the
same. The editor of the Dixie, in the
atmosphere, made the suggestion which
the Cincinnati Manufacturers' Associa-
tion adopted in inviting a meeting Of
all the manufacturers OF the United
States 70 form a national organization.

The beer hall and variety theatre that
Portland man proposes to establish in
the old stuttz Theatre, Is likely to
meet with no end Of opposition. The
residents Of that vicinity are preparing
a petition which will be presented to
the next meeting OF the city council,
praying that a license for such pur-
poses be disallowed. A number Of peo.
pie In that locality. who have families
|of growing boys and girls, state that
uhey will fight the proposition to the
litter end, and that II Portland parties
want to start an establishment Of that
kind In Astoria. there are other places
where the affair can be conducted
among the class OF people who usually
haunt such places. The fact that the

the promoter are ladies', adds strength
70 the belief that no variety theatre
