Petersburg, O ct 11.—A Rus sian force at P o t Arthur made a sortie Oct. 6th and re-occupied tbs heights overlooking Takhe bay which had been previously captured by the Japanese. Mukden, Oct. 11.—An artillery battle occurred here Sunday, con tinuing throughout the day. The Russians' left waa engaged. The Japanese retreated, everywhere pressed by the Russians. Tokio, O ct 11.—It is reported that the Buasians have crossed the HnD river with a heavy force, and are aggressively attacking the Ja panese forces which were moving northward. A general engagement is said to be in progress. The medica 1 board of London de clares that conta gious diseases are spread by political orators. Boil the orators. Tokio, Oot. 11. —The Japanese gunboat Heiyen struck a mine in Pigeon bay, west of Port Arthur, Sept 19tb, and sunk. Only four of the orew were saved. Tokio, Oct. 10.—It is reported here that the Japanese recently cen tered a fire from the land positions and from the fleet blockading Port Arthur on the west harbor, with the object of destroying the Russian fleet, and succeeded in sinking three vessels, the names and character of which are unknown. The failure of the Port Arthur fleet tp make a sortie is creating the impression tlyitthe Russians intend to destroy their ships just before the fall of the fortress, in preference to taking the risk of a sortie. The Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition company offers for sale at the price of $2 each, 20,000 souvenir gold dollars. To eaoh pur- cha-er of five coins will be given one coin free of charge, making six for $10. Those coins n>c issued by Ihe secreiary of the treasury, under au thority o f i.u act of congiisa, ap proved by President Roosevelt, April 13, 1904. The issue is limited to 250,000. These coins are singulariy in teresting from the Act that they have two heads or obverses. On o n / side' is the bead of Capt. Wil liam Clark and the words “United States of America” and “One Dol lar.” On the other side appear the head of Capt Meriwecther Lewis and the words “ Lewis-Clark Ex position, Portland, Or.,” and the date, ” 1904.” The coin has neither wieatb nor stars. Some estimate of the value of this small issue of souvenir legal tender gold dollars may be made from the present value of the ordinary United States gold dollar, of which there were coined 19,499,337 between the years 1849 and 1890. These now sell for $2 each. No coins of this issue will be placed upon sale at a lower figure than is quoted here. All coins are sent to purchasers by registered mail at the expense of the Exposi. tion company. These coins are for sale at the bank. A ttem pt to Murder Jailor. S tea m er N o te s. Portland, Or., Oct. 11.— The pris oners in the Multnomah county jail were discovered this morning plot ting to take the life of Jailor Graf ton. One Martin Lesia, a prisoner condemned to death, overheard the plotting and made known these de signs. Lesia is just now awaiting the action of the supreme court to which tribunal has been 'ppealed.

D e a r S ir : Washington, Oct. 10.—President Roosevelt today announced the ap pointment of Robert J. Winnc, act ing postmaster-genernl ns post master-general. How long he may continue in office has not been de termined. Beyond the statement that the appointment is tempornry, nothing is known. H is D redger a S u ccess. Mr. Philpott.the gentlemao who took his new dredger up Catching inlet on its trial trip last week, was in town yesterday and reports that his machine is doing splendid work. The new machinery is working per fectly and every day the dredger has worked, so far good work was done. Just now Mr. Philpott is dredging near Wm. Bonebrake’s place up Catching inlet and he will have work there for several days more. Dredging is an important thing in the country. All that these inlets need to make out of them the most valuable land in Coos county is a little work by the dredger in building up a wall high enough to keep the water off. This low land is the finest in the world and when the water is once prevented from overflowing, the best of crops will be grown here. Mr. Philpott is well acquainted with his work and he will find plenty of work in Coos county.— North Bend Post. Oddfellows Delayed. Chicago, O ct 10.— Seventy Odd fellows and their wives have arrived here, after a series of delays, en route from the grand lodge encamp ment at San Francisco.
