Afl-r lying In th sands on North
liiou'h fur seven months, the three-
niKstrd llrlllsh ship Clfniuorag Is to
be noatrd. Captain William Burns, of
tho Ulanaow Halvagv Company, yester
day aftiTnixm r'-lved a cablegram
from Mr. Alli-n, the owner of the slilp,
to prm-m-d with his salvage scheme.
This Is K'hI news to Captain Turnbull,
who has staid by Ms vessel with the
exception of the time he took to make
a trip to Scotland and confer with the
owners.
The fine ship Qlenmorag went ashore
above Ocan Bark, about twenty mile
north of Ilwaco, and seven mile north
of where the Point Loma went ashore
just two weeks previous, at 1:10 o'clock
on the afternoon of March 19th. 1X9. A
dense fog prevailed at the time, and
In their effort to reach shore, with the
Istance of the life saving crew from
Fort Canby. two men of the Ill-fated
vessel lust their Uvea In the surf.
In speaking of his plans last evening
to an Aatorlnn representative, Captain
Burns said: "I received Instructions
today from Mr. Allen, the owner of
the Olenmorag, to begin salvage op
erations at once. A gang of twenty-two
men have been engaged and will tomor
row morning proceed to the vessel with
provisions and an outfit, ready to begin
work. They will remain on board the
ship under the Immediate command of
Captain Turnbull, and will at once com
mence to dismantle the vessel, sending
down all the yard arms, rigging and
everything will be strlpived down to the
lower mnsts. Captain Ingrajn, of Cath
Inniet, will also be here In the morning
with another large gang of men and he
will suiH'rlntend the laying out of the
anchors nnd hawsers, which outIt will
be taken lon to the wrack at the first
opportunity. As soon as this part of
the work la accomplished, the two
gatiKs of men will bogln to discharge
the cargo and ballast. It la my expec
tation to be able to float the vessel at
the next high tides early In November.
We will have about eight days In which
to make our preparations, and every
effort will be used to take advantage of
the tide. I have secured a pteum winch
and boiler from Foard & Stokes with
which to handle the cargo and ballast,
and this machinery will be put In place
Immediately. Both gangs of men will
live upon the ship, and will bo made
comfortable there, so that no time will
be lost In going to and from work.
When everything Is ready we will have
two or throe large tugs hitch on to the
hawsers, and make a long, strong pull,
which we confidently expect will bring
tho ClnntoruK once more Into deep va
ter. The vessel Is not so badly situated
for handling, but of course she Is pretty
high on the beach. We have handled
ships In much worse condition than
this one, and I have no fenrs as to ul
timately floating her.
"I regret that business calls me to
San Francisco, for which city I will
leave tomorrow evening, via Portland,
but I expect to return In time to see
the tlleniiioiag pulled off the beach.
Whether I do or not, however, will
make no difference, as Captain Turn
bull, Captain Ingram, ami Mr. Clark,
who will be associated with them, thor
oughly understand the work and will
not need me. 1 want to see the feat ac
complished, however, and will be here
if possible."

Chicago, October it. Wheat waa de
cidedly nervous throughout the session
and speculators were evidently at sea
as to whether It was better to buy or
sell. Weak foreign markets and heavy
northwestern receipts favored lower
prices, and the sensational decline last
week of nearly eleven cents per bushel
suggested sufficient reason to expect
a recovery of port of that at least.
Each of these factors alternated In

cents per bushel luring the two first
hours of the session. First, trades in
December were over the simultaneous

In this city Is an open market place
with sheds and (tails where the farmer
can put up his team and feed and water
them and place bl goods on sale. Once
a week, say Saturday morning, he
should be able to offer, directly from

The second cable from Liverpool
quoted at the start, created a five-mln

again to 69; from all of which It can
be seen how settled were the ideas of

market here. "It Is a well known fact
