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:

FOREST GROVE, Or., Dec 29. 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.
