FOUNDERED OFF COLUMBIA Master of Vessel Arriving on the Sound Sys Lamorna Prob ably Went Down During: Storm of March 10. Reinsurance on the British ship La mora has been advanced to 80 per cent, and all hope of the vessel ever reach-In-; port has now been abandoned.LIke the ill-fated Cadsow Forrest, she dis appeared In the north Pacific, and there Is no evidence to show where she founderd. That she went down in the great gale of March 10 Is the opin ion of shipping; men of the north, who have despaired of ever again hearing of her. The Lamorna carried a cargo of wheat and was bound from Tacoma for the United Kingdom. She passed Tatoosh on her way out of the sound on March 1. For a few days the weather was fine, but about the time the vessel should have arrived off the Columbia river a great gale came up. In the opinion of shipping men she foundred off the Columbia, and the wreckage found on the coast of Van couver island was probably carried north by the current, as has frequently been the case. Captain Rehberg, master of the British bark Ventura, now on the ' sound, was off the coast during the heavy weather prevailing from March 6 to March 10. On the 10th the storm was very severe and the barometer dropped to the unusually low mark of 18:15. Before the Lamorna put to sea Bhe experienced some difficulty with her stearing- gear, and Captain Rehberg says the storm of the 10th would undoubtedly have played havoc v.i'.h a" i ,. iKi would Ti'; mlnl hor helm. tention to fill the bay underneath the roadway of the Astoria & Columbia River railroad with rock and gravel for a distance of about two miles. By do ing this It la believed that the harbor will be greatly Improved." Marin Notes. The schooner Virginia, with a cargo of 670.000 feet of lumber for San Fran cisco, will arrive down the river to day. The bark Harry Morse Is to be brought down the river today from CHfton and will load supplies for Al aska. The steamship Oregon arrived yes terday from San Francisco. She brought a large quantity of freight for local merchants. The work of reloading the grain taken out of the La Fontaine was fin ished yesterday afternoon, and the vessel will be ready to depart In a day or two, Thj steamer Elmore arrived yester day from Tillamook. She reports the arrival at Tillamook of the schooner Volant, which was overdue from San Francisco, and which had been driven north by the gales. The steamer Rosecrans departed yesterday for California. On the way down the coast she will stop at Eureka and discharge 8500 barrels of crude oil. She takes 1000 tons of fresh water for the crude oil jtfant near San Fran cisco. BUSINESS LOCALS LET YOUR WANTS BE KNOWN. Somebody has what you want, or want what you have to sell.

The Portland Journal prints the fol lowing story with a well known As toria bar pilot: Capt. C. S. Gunderson, who has been service as a bar pilot for many years at the mouth of the Columbia river, is a visitor In Portland. That more pil ots do not lose their lives in boarding vessels outside the bar he attributes to a lucky combination of clrcum stanms. During his time he says that three of the best men who ever, piloted a ship have lost their lives In the treachirous waters just off the mouth of the river. He says that those who have not been actively engaged in the business can have but a faint concep tion of the dangers which are attach ed to the work. During a storm particularly, he says, the small boat which conducts the pil ots to the ships is frequently at the mercy of the waves, and when one at tempts to board waiting vessel in the turbulent sea he simply takes his life In his hands. The small boat rocks up and down on the waves, and the least false step would probably be the means of sending him plunging Into the sea. He states that Pilot Woods almost lost his life in this manner a short time ago while attempting, to board the steamer Clavering of the China Commercial Company's line. "The proposed plan of building a sea wall at Astoria," concluded the cap tain, changing the subject, "is at last assuming definite shape. A committee has been appointed to ascertain Just what the sentiments of the citizens are In this respect. A communication will be sent to the city council at its next meeting asking for an opinion from that body as to the advisability of the project The great majority of the citizens appear to be in favor of it' "To carry out such a gigantic enter prise will mean the expenditure of a great amount of money.

Owing to strong; . opposition in the foreign re lations committee to the Cuban treaty which provides for the turning over of the Isles of Pines to the government of Cuba, it has been decided by the committee to postpone action of the conv?ntion until the next session of congress. Th members of the committee are contemplating a visit to the Isle of Pines to look over the field and see If it would be worth anything to the United States and if this government would be Justified In assuming sover eignty of the island, In view of the fact that a large number of American citi zens have settled there and Invested money 'n lands and farming Indus tries. Wien the treaty of Paris was nego- jf .;ul it provided ihat ownership of j Isle of Pines should be determined J .' '. me future time, It was well un i xd that a sovereignty over this Ijie uf Pines was left unsettled for the purpose of giving the United States something which it could exchange with Cuba for coaling station. There never was any intention on the part of President McKInley to retain con trol over the Isle of Pines. Until recently there has been com paratively little opposition to a rati fication of the treaty.but Senator Pen rose of Pennsylvania has undertaken to defeat it because a large number of Americans from Illinois Indiana and Pennsylvania have acquired land on the island and propose to engage in business there.

Owing largely to sanitary consideration,' the Pullman company has adopted a new standard sleeper which little resembles the ornate car built a few years ago. The new standard is severely plain and Is devoid of all scroll and grill work. The upholstery of the car has been reduced materially and all the angles possible have been taken from the car. Imported mohair has been adopted as a standard curtain and the entire design and decoration and fur nishings Is planned with a view to faclltlate the work of cleaning the car and preventing the lodgment of germs. AH Pullman cars will be built on the same plan and after the same pattern so that uniformity in equip ment will be attained. COAL! COAL! COAL! . If you want your money's worth ring phons 1311. GEO.
