THE SUNDAY OEEGONIAN, PORTLA2TD, DECEMBER 3ft, 1900. 5 ONE MORE VICTIM Puget Sound's' Marine Hos pital Still Filling Up. TEMUCO ROUGHLY HANDLED Schooner Reported Bottom Up OS .Vancouver Island Aftermath of . the Great Storm in Europe An-' ether Grain Ship Finished. PORT TOWNSEND, "Wash., Dec 29- The Chilean bark Temuco. which sailed from Port Blakeley for South America November 27, returned here In tow in a disabled condition, with some sails gone and leaking. The Temuco had gotten well on her way to her destination, when she encountered a succession of gales which handled her roughly, carrying away her sails and causing her to spring a leak. She was blown back to a point west of the entrance of the Straits, and the cap. tain concluded to put In here for repairs. "When nearlng the entrance to the Straits an Indian canoe put out to her, and re ported a schooner bottom-side up, off the west coast of "Vancouver Island. The derelict is thought by shipping men to be the 50-ton schooner sighted some days ago and reported by incoming vessels. A tug was sent from here today to find the derelict. DEATH IX ITS WAKE. Heavy Loss of Life and Property In European Gale. IONDON, Dec. 29. Quantities of wreck age have been thrown up on the different coasts, evidence of disasters from the gale not yet reported. The Great Western Railroad Company's steamer, plying between Mllford and "Waterford, which last night was reported 12 hours over due, reached "Waterford 32 hours late. The remainder of the crew of the Span ish steamer Enecurl, which was driven asho.ro at the Portland breakwater (where 22 men got ashore, leaving five men on the wreck), have been landed. The cap tain revisited the vessel this morning and as he stepped on her deck the ship heeled over and sank. The captain was drowned. The French bark Seine, from Iqulque, September 23, for Dunkirk, has been driven ashore at Cornwall. The crew, numbering 23 men, was saved by the Rocket apparatus. PARIS, Dec 29. Advices from the ports say the gale raged with extreme violence and that a number of fishing smacks and coasting vessels have been wrecked. Nine fish boats have been stranded near Dun kirk and three of them will prove total wrecks. Their crews were seen clinging to the rigging, but the majority of them were beyond reach of the rockets. A lifeboat gallantly rescued many of the fishermen, but ten of them perished. A brig was totally lost on the Sables de Lonnes. Of her crew, four men were drowned and wto reached the bay by clinging to boats, but before the onlook ers could seize them they were swept back and sank. The fishing smack Esperance foundered off Treport and three fishermen were lost. A pilot-boat belonging to Havre has been lost with two men. AXOTHER GRAIN CARGO. Ship Andreta Received a. Fnll Carco In Less Than Three Days. Portland not only dispatches more than double the number of wheat cargoes sent out from any other port in the Pacific Northwest, but when the occasion de mands it she hustles them out faster than they can be handled at any other port. The Portland Grain Company commenced loading the British ship Andreta at the new Montgomery dock Thursday, and shortly after noon yesterday she had her complete cargo of 101.SS2 bushels aboard. There was no attempt at breaking rec ords, and the work was done in the regu lar order of business. The cargo of the Andreta brings the month's shipments up about 1.925.OD0 bushels, and there will be at least one more cargo finished tomor row, so that the wheat shipments alone will be In excess of 2,000.000 bushels. The new year and the now century will start off with a fairly good fleet In the river, but unless some of the belated ships come along within the next week or ten days, the January fleet will not be as large as that for December. The en route list is steadily shrinking, and the season may be said to be at high-water mark, although there will be nothing small about the shipments for February and March. OCEAN FREIGHT MARKET. "Wheat Ship Chartered for Septem ber, 1001, Loading- at Portland. The scarcity ot engagements during the past few days would indicate a weaker feeling in ocean freights, but actual trans actions which have been reported, do not bear out this impression. A small ship was reported fixed yesterday for Septem ber loading at 37s 6d. which Is a very good date for such a long shot. San Franclscb mall advices report nothing doing in grain freights and lumber vessels are quoted as follows for loading at northern ports: Sydney, E2s 6d: Melbourne or Adelaide. 60s; Port Prle, 5Ss 9d; Fremantle, 71s 3d;' Geraldton. 72s 6d; "West Coast, Cos; PIsagua Range- Caliao direct. 65s; Buenos Ayres, 70s71s 3d; Hong Kong, 62s Cd; Shanghai, C5s; Kalo Chow, 70s; Nagasaki, 60s; Port Arthur, 70s; Tien Tsln, 75s; Taku. 70s; New Chwang, 70s; Vladlvostock, 6Ts 6d; South Africa, 75aS0s. according to port; United Kingdom, S5s.

Several business men of this place are consider ing the formation of a stock company for the erection of a saw mill on Gales Creek. at the edge of town. John Helsler, of Gales Creek, offers to contract to deliver at Forest Grove 10,000,000 feet of logs. These logs would be floated down the creek during high water, and the lumber could be manufactured 53 per 1000 cheaper that It can in the forests and hauled to the railroad by teams. In connection with the mill. It Is also proposed to install electrical machinery and furnish the town with lights at a figure not to exceed $100 per month. This is considerably less than the present cost under municipal management, and In view of the fact that the industry would em ploy 30 to 40 hands, it is thought that the citizens would generally favor the acceptance of such a proposition.
