Tho comedy event of the season In Astoria will be the appearance on Wed nesday night, Dec. 26th, of Harry Cor son Clarke, who Is well remembered here from the hit he scored last sea son In "What Happened to Jones," sup ported by a New York company In a brand new farce entitled "What Did Tomklns Do?" Judging from the press criticism, Mr. Clarke has scored a hit of huge proportions In his latest at tempt, the opinion obtaining that his performance Is the very top notch of comlo effort. One feature of his pro duction, upon which no money has been spared. Is the beautiful stage settings, the handsome women who support him, and the beautiful and artistic gowns they wear.

DAMAGE AROUND ASTORIA Ll.hU'jIp at McKculc Hd Carries' Ffrtber laibare Vessels Report RoagbeU Weather Ever Ciperieoced, The atorm which has been raging for several day on the coast Is one of the most severe that has visited this section for several years. While the t"tuj extent of damages to shipping can not be known for aonve time It cannot fall to bo very large. The storm seems to be general all along the coast and vessel that, arrive in report the rough est weather ever known along the coast The steamer Centennial, from Seattle to Han Francisco, arrived at the lat ter place Tuesday afternoon after the roughest trip In her history, bh'e wa several days overdue and fears for her safety have been frequently expressed. The Centennial wa In the storm at Nome during the past season, but the ofllc'Ts state that that storm wa as a gentle zephyr compared with the one through w hich they have just passed. The steamer Willamette also arrived at San Francisco Tuesday in a condi tion that plainly told of her experi ences. Hlgn seas washed over her, shifting the after house and carrying ovt-iloard the forward house. A half dozen old life-boats were crushed to kindling wood and swept away. Off Point Blanco the downpour of raL-was terrific. The cabins and cook's gal Icy were tloided and the occupanta forced to the upper deck rooma for shelter. The forecastle was knee-deep In water and the sailors were compelled to leave. During the height f the storm a huge wave swept Captain Bridges from the bridge. In Astoria the damage was light compared with the terrific force of the gale, and no really serious damage was done. A few fences, sblewalks and signs were the principal sufferers from the wind. About 50 feet of the sidewalk on Twenty-third street was picked up bodily and turned up against the Clat sop milL The house of J. K. Wirt on the hill waa moved about six Inches on Its foundation early yesterday morning, considerably alarming the family and barely escaping wrecking the building. His barn waa also slightly twisted. Several windows along the north side of Commercial street were flooded with rain that beat tKrough the Interstices and the window displays of P. A. Stokes and of the A. Dunbar Company were gulte badly damaged. The tide made a rise to about an eleven-foot stage and flooded several ware houses, etc. The basement of Foard & Stokes store bad about six inches of water in and caused some lively work In protecting the godds lb the harbor the shipping was mixed up with the middle sands a little but no very serious damage was done. The French hark General Millinet dragged her anchor and fetched up broadside on the sands Just Inside the spar buoy about even with Smith's Point. She seems to be hard and fast on the sand although uninjured. It is the opinion of the pilots that she will have to be Hahtered before she can be hauled off. The British ship Muskoka was more fortunate. She dragged nearly half & mile and stuck her stern on on the sandr In eighteen feet of water. At this Juncture her anchor held and she hauled In on the cable and when the tide came In. floated safely. The stranded lightship on McKenzle Head was carried back early yester day morning over the ground she had been worked off and now lies nearly SO feet furiher Inshore, harder aground than ever. Although she had lines running out to anchors the force of the gale was such that she was picked up and carried like a, chip. The roof of the scnool house at New Astoria was bloc.wn off and at Fort Stevens th latest reports received stat ed that the velocity of the wind at that place was over 100 miles an hour. All communication with the outside world by wire has1 been shut off as there Is not a telegraph or telephone line working outside cf the city. SAY!

The steamer Shaver left Portland for the scene of the stranded steamer Sarah Dixon, which is lying on the break water below Mount Coffin. The Shaver haa In tow two large barges and the necessary appliances to be used In rais ing the steamer. The members of the Shaver Transportation Company, to whom the Dixon belongs, do not antici pate any great trouble In pulling her oft, as her stern is submerged In fifteen feet of water, though her bow rests on the dike. It Is not known to what ex tent she Is injured, though it Is thought the hole stove In her bow Is large. It was first stated that the craft struck during a fog. but one of the crew ar rived from the scene yesterday morn ing and stated the accident waa due to the fact that the light on the dike was not burning, and the skipper thought he was clear of It.
