GALE ON THE COAST.
Worst Storm In Years Raged Along
the Pacific Sunday.
Portland, March 21. Tho severest
wind and rain storm in nearly a quar
ter of a century broke over the
north Pacific coast late Sunday af
ternoon. Tho storm-swept district
extends from the northern California
coast through Oregon nnd Washing
ton Into British Columbia, west of
the Cascade mountains.
Wild rumors of damage in this city
became current during the evening,
among which was one that the ex
position building, probably the larg
est framo structure on the coast
north of San Francisco, had been
blown over.
These rumors were for the most
part groundless, the damage being
confined to tho unroofing of some
uncompleted dwellings In the more
exposed portions of the city.
The wind is estimated to have
reached a velocity of from CO to 70
miles an hour at times.

Boise, March 21. President John

Hard Financing.
Mr. Owlnn said tho banks wero
holding the lines .rather hard on

latter very generally held their
stock over last year rather than sell
at the prices prevailing last season.
Those already in debt find they can
not borrow, the banks insisting that
they realize and clean up. The samo

sheepmen, and thus the situation Is
rendered rather trying.
In addition, the railways nave
shown a disposition to stiffen rates,
further educing the returns from!

tho rule shutting off return trans
