900, 900 bushels for two days, some
thing that has never before been
known in the history of the grain

others claimed that it is caused by the
abolition Of trading in puts and calls
by the Chicago Board of Trade.

tion Of the regular appropriation bills,

SCHOONER CARRlG b LAKE GOES
ASHORE. AND 0ER CAPTAIN.
MAZE AND COOK LOST.

ASTORIA, Jan. About dusk last
evening the schooner Carrie b. Lake,
Capt. Exon, ran ashore on North Beach,
opposite Capt. E-tabrook's place. Be
ing unssle to work her OF, Exon, Jam
issn Ibis mstel, and a Chinese cook
took TO . small boat and attempted to
make a landing The boat upset ard
all three were drowned. One other man
on the beach and vas saved. One man
refused to take to the boat and remain
ed on board the schooner. Capt. Har-
ris of the life station, hearing Of the
occurrence, went to the wreck, arriving
at 2 a. N. A liae vas carried throsgn
the surf to the wreck by Harris and bis
men, and the man on board made it
fast and was pulled ashore. Tue wealth
er was very hazy. and the schooner
probably imperceptibly drifted in with
the strong insnore current, aud ground
ed before the captain knew where he
ives. No bodies have been recovered,
and the Survivors have not reached here
Yet. The vessel 10 probably total loss.
The schooner was owned by the Deep
Sea Fishing Company of this city, and
had recently been bought from Captain
Lake Of Puget Sound, especially for
fishing along the coast outside the Co
lumbia River entrance. The principal
stockholders in the company are Z.
On .ckenbush, B. N. Barnett, ). Farrell.
A. N. Smith, X. s. Stubbs. A. W. Berry
of Astoria, and a Mr.. Brown of East
Portland. The vessel vas valued at
5000 to 5000. and was insured for
$500. she was stauaoh craft and
well adapted to the verk designed for
her. Ii was the int ntion of the direct
ors to put steam into the vessel, 90 that
she would not be subject to delays after
she had a load of fish. She bad made
two trips, principally to recon hotter and
pick oat the best tshing grounds.
Captain Exon was the first man who
ever attempted deep sea fishing of the
Oregon Coast. In the summer of 1884
he demonstrated that fine fish we're to
be found, and it only renamed to get
the proper vessel and appliances. The
latter he secured, and there we're good
prospects for successful season. He
was Adopt so years old, and leaves a
family iiviEg on Sixteenth street, be-
tween p and Q, East Portland. HIS
sen William was q member of the crew,
and was saved. Captain Exon had
been deep sea fisherman of the coast
of England, and had brsved many
storms IN the rough waters Of the North
Sea. II is strange that he should have
met death in calm weather, in a place
where be could have almost vAded
ashore. The company will likely have
to give mp their enterprise temporarily,
for the reason that there il no one here
to take Captain Exou's place.
Mr.. Jameson was q young man, and
had been employed for some time on
the Northern Pacific transfer boat at
Kslama. He is spoken of as good
seaman and Of good character.-0ys-
