NOTE AND COMMENT.
8t. 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.
John Sullivan, another prisoner,
during the early hours of the morn
ing made a desperate attempt to
break out through the iron grating,
but was stopped by the sheriff after
a fierce battle.

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
