The worst storm that has visited this coast since Sept F and l3, 1900, began on Thursday evening last.
 It gradually grew more violent, and by l2 o'clock last night it had reached degree of violence not paraleled since the great storm of two years and more ago which wrought damage to the amount of half million dollars.
 The loss entailed by this storm can not as yet be estimated, but it will not be nearly so heavy as that caused by the storm of 1900. At the present writing it will not exceed S25.000 or $3OOOO.
 This storm came on gradually. All day yesterday the surf was heavy. but the wind was not strong. The break CTS rolled in upon the beach in d long, swelling motion. and were particularly noticeable by the heavy foam on the crests of the breakers. This was taken to mean by the wise ones along the water front that there was bad storm far out at sea.
 As darkness came on the wind in creased, and with it the raging of the surf. Soon the lower end of the sand spit from the point on Snake river to Gieger's bridge was swept by succeed ing waves, which broke over the tongue of land, carrying everything in their wake. Several buildings were washed away and were beaten to pieces by the angry waves.
 All night long number of heroic men, including the life-saving corps under the direction of LieutsHamlet, rendered aid to the sutlererssqC Captain McNichol, of the Pacific Packing S0 Navigation Co.,. and about 30 citizens worked during the night, and were in- strumental in saving the household effects of many people. David Good friend, the grocer in the Illinois build ing, placed his store at the disposal of those who had been drowned out, and many people there found safe storage for their goods and chuttels.
 The wind increased in violence after midnight this morning, and when day light broke the mouth of Snake river was filled with wreckage, which scores of people rsked their lives to capture as it floated in on the waves.
 There is scarcely d building fronting on Boring sea that has not been more or less damaged. The damage in any case is not great, probably the heaviest loser being E. T. Casey, of the Cali fOrnia house. His warehouse, ad join ing the water front, was swept away, and with it 300 pairs of l2-pound blank cts and lot of other goods. His loss will probably reach 5000.
 Little damage is reported between THE NUGGET building and Barracks square. On Barracks square the waves twice battered down the door of the life saving station.
 The general office building of the Pacific Packing X Navigation Co.,, on the water front at the rear of Crane's $ grocery is wreck. The surf broke the windows, dashed in the doors, fill ing the building with gravel a foot
