Vol. XXXVI ROSEBURG, DOUGLAS COUNTY, OREGON MONDAY, DECEMBER ia, 1904 No. 9 iloscbinra THE RUSSIANS ARE DISLODGED Japs Have Completed the Circle at Port Arthur -. JL J- FURTHER ASSAULTS ARE UNNECESSARY Relief for the Russians Has Been Cot Off From Both Land and Sea Tokio, Dec. IL In an attack be gun last midnight on the southerly slope of the last fort in Shungshu mountain the Japanese volunteers dis lodged the Russians from the second ridge after three hours of fighting, and before dawn light field guns were brought up for their support. Con necting trenches will be dug to meet those south of the Kekwan forts on the east and to meet the advance trenches on 203-Meter hill on the west, thus completing the circle of Port Arthur and practically isolating all the Russian soldiers now in the last line of the center redoubts. Whether the Japanese army will attempt to take these by storm is not known. Dispatches today from Gen eral Nogfs army indicate that there will be no necessity for further as saults on the remaining Russian for tifications. The bombardment of the warships in the harbor up to noon today had resulted in the destruction of all the battleships and cruisers, except the Sevastopol, which is lying east of Tiger's Tail promontory, the masts of the ships only being visible to the gunners of 203-Meter hilL Jap Cruses Last Tokio, Dec. 10. The Japanese cruiser Saiyen struck a mine and sank November 30. The majority of her crew were rescued. Fifteen officers and 175 men were rescued. Captain Tajima and 38 oth ers went down with the ship. The Navy Department announces that the Saiyen commanded the de tached squadron. While co-operating with the army in bombarding Port Arthur, November 30, she struck a Russian mine and was seen to be en veloped in smoke. The gunboat Aka gi, which was also engaged in shelling Port Arthur, immediately ceased firing and went to the rescue of the Saiyen. Finding that the latter was taking water rapidly, the Akagi anchored near the sinking ship, and co-operating with the other Japanese boats launched, succeeded in rescuing 15 officers and 175 men, but Captain Tajima and 38 others went down with the ship.

He said he would substantiate every statement he had issued against t e great Rockerfeller trust, and added that he was placing advertisement in Europe and America for publication to morrow that will bring a crisis in the stock market.

Portland Centennial Notes. DOUGLAS COUNTY AT POBTAND FAIR Space Has Been Applied ForThe Resolutions of the Com mercial Club :the furniture man County Judge M. D. Thompson, on behalf of the Douglas county court made formal application to the Lewis and '"lark Exposition hoard of directors for space for a Douglas connty exhibit at the great fair next year. It ia under stood that the county court at its next meeting will consider the matter of mak ing an appropriation to assist in collect ing and properly displaying a creditable exhibit from this county, which is in accordance with the action already taken by a number of Oregon counties. This is a move in the right direction. The following resolution bearing on matter was adopted by the Roseburg Commercial Club at its last meeting: RESOLVED TO HAVE A CO C NTT EXHIBIT. The following resolution waa intro duced and unanimously pawed : Whereas, Jthe interests of Douglas county at large demands that some ap propriate action be taken immediately looking towards a suitable exhibition of Douglas county products and re sources at the coming Lewis and Clark Fair to be held at Portland, Oregon, daring the year 1905. And Whereas, the other counties of the state of Oregon, have generally tak en the initiatory steps towards a suita ble display of their various products and resources, and to that end have through their respective county courts appropri ated large sums of money ; And, Whereas, the Roseburg Commer cial Club, realizing the necessity of im mediate action in the premises, and be lieving the interests of oar county can lie beet subserved by united action ; It was therefore, at a regular month ly meeting of the Roeeburg Commercial Club beld on December 6, 1904, Resolved, that Hon D. 8. K. Buick, F. G. Micelli and C. 8. Jackson be con stituted a committee to properly present that matter to our county court, asking the court to procure space for the coun ty ex libit, and to mn'ce appropriation to ill-'ray the expenses necessary in making a proper exhibition of Douglas county products and resources, among the several counties of this state.

The Bridge of Nations at the Exposi tion, which connects the Government Peninsula and the mainland ia more than two thousand feet long. Roosevelt avenue, which skirts the shore of the Government Peninsula at the Centennial site is the only road named after a living American. The shady driveways in Centennial Park have been named after western states, being known as Idaho Avenue, Wyoming Avenue, and Montana Avenue. Three water towers, each sixty feet high, will supply water for emergency use at the Centennial. The towers will be covered with vines which will com pletely conceal the woodwork. The National Association of State Dairy and Food Departments consisting of about 300 delegates, will hold its next convention at Portland in Jane, daring the I.ewie and Clark Centennial. The bronze statue of Sacajawea , the Indian heroine, will be located in the center of Columbia Court, the central plaza of the Exposition. The statue will face the west. Work on the Government Building at the Centennial, ia progressing rapidly and the building will be completed by April 1st. In the experimental gardens, located in the western part of the I-ewis and Clark Exposition grounds, all manner of Western products will be exhibited as they actually grow. This ia a new feature in expositions. The walls of the Forestry Building at the Centennial are now in place, the workmen are busy putting on thaj roof. The building haa proved interesting be yond all expectation to early visitors at the fair grounds. Je-weler from many western cities have sent orders for Lewis and Clark souvenir gold dollars to be used as Christmas gilts. The coins are being mounted and u ed aa tie and scarf pine, watch charms, brooches and in many other ways. Electrical experts are at work upon an extremely novel feature for the opening exercises of the Centennial Exposition on Jane 1, next. The scheme ia to have President Roosevelt, at Washington, touch a few keys and set in motion the chimes in the tower of the Government Building at the Exposition. The chimes 300 feet above the water will play "My Coantry Tis of Thee." The sound will carry a great diatance owing to the fact that tba Government Building is located on a peninsula in Guild's Lake, half a mile from the mainland. Arrangements have already been made to have Presi dent Roosevelt touch a button that will set in motion the machinery for the Western World's Fair, and it ia thought there will be no difficulty in arranging for the additional feature of the chimes.

Andrew Carnegie has been subpoened to ap pear before the United States grand jury on Wednesday to swear that he never signed any of the famous Chad wick securities which toniirht reach the astounding total of $15,- 996,000. That this will be increased to $20, 000,000 before Mr. Carnegie comes here seems certain, for the United States secret service agents are now on the trail of other notes disposed of by Mrs. Chadwkk. The $15,996,000 represents only the forged paper that has actually been discovered by the officials. There are poetrvely known to be in existence another note for $500,000 disposed of some where in New Jersey and one for $800,000 some where in Pittsburg. In addition to aD of these there are said to be probably $3,000, 00 more forged notes in existence. Nn. OsaMots wirfeasa bcaaaac.
