Aftercrossing the Mississippi and doing considerable damage to farm buildings near Marshland, Wis., the storm seemed to have spent its force.

The path of the storm was not wide, but it had all the characterof the deadly tornado and the iin isions of a cyclone. pvvards of Seventy Are Killed.

Just how many lives have been lost is still uncertain, but the reports reeived indicate that certainly not less than seventy are dead while some reports place the number from seventy 100. The towns damaged or destroyed are Cylinder, Burt, Forest City and Manly Junctiou, in Iowa Leroy, Spring Valley, Dodge Center, Homer and Lowther, Minn., aud .Marshland, Wis.

Ferguson's family were carried some distance through the air and all but one landed in a willow hedge. An Infant went a little farther and was found seated on a piece of roof.

POUTI.ANU, Ore., Sept. 24.—The most disastrous Are in the history of this city broke out ut 4:80 o'clock Sunday afternoon in the dnok of the Paoifio Coast Elevator company and raged for three hours, destroying property valued at nearly SI,500,000.

The scene of the fire is across the river from the main part of the city and it was at least fifteen minutes before more than one engine could respond to the general alarm. When the engines arrived the fire was beyond control, and in half an hour from the time it started the docks for half a mile were on fire. Nothing- could be done but to let the fire burn itself out.

The flre started in the dock below the Pacific Coast Elevator company's main building' and the wind drove the flames to the elevator itself. The flames shot into tho air 200 feet, miking a beautiful sight in the twilight. The coal bunkers of the North Pacific Terminal company, on the west, were next attacked and soon were a seething mass of flames. On the east was the Oregon KaiUvay & Navigation company's wharf, 400 feet in length, and this, too, was soon on fire. There was no means of getting water on the flre except from the river, aud the fireboat Is an improvised old scow and of very little service.

Half a Million liusliels of Wheat Burn. The elevator contained nearly half a million bushels of wheat. The newplant of the Portland General Electric company, which had just arrived from Lynn, Mass, was standing in the yards of the terminal cumpany on tho cars, not having been unloaded. The plant occnpiod an entire train, and the machinery was of the most expensivo kind, the most of which was destroyed and the remainder badly damaged.

Two hundred freight cars, eighty of which were loaded, were destroyed. The Oregon Kailway & Navigation dock held 1,500 tons of freight, consisting of wool, salmon, general merchandise and oement, all of whloh was destroyed with the dock. There were stored on the dock about 12,000 dines of salmon from the lower Columbia river and Puget sound awaiting shipment for the east. It was valued at about S-10,000 and was partly insured.

Three Men llurned to Death. Three men are supposed to have perished in the elevator. Charles Anderson, a man named Hrown aud one named Murray were seen at an upperstory window of the elevator aud it is thought they were all burned. Every available locomotive at the terminal works was set to work moving freight cars out of danger, but the fire burned so rapidly that all could not bo moved away. Sparks from the fire went across the river and set flre to the boneyard, but it was extinguished before any serious damage to the j-ard was done. The large steamboat Williamette Chief, moored at the yard, took fire and burned. She was used as a towboat and was valued at about $45,000.
