Portland, Oct. 1 1 .—- T h e Knssian government, not content with stopping vessels from the Pacific coast, because they carried merchandise, intended fqj private flrhie and indivldaal^iq. Japan has mm taken to confiscating United States mails. Thia has been done with the mail carried on the steamer Calchas, and the act baa caused a pro test to be made by the owner* and agents of the steamer, which has been filed with the post office department at Washirgton. Alfred H olt A Co., the owners of tb* Calchas, also give notice that daring the duration of the war they w ill carry no more United Statee mail to Japan. The latest move of the Russians w ill probably involve them deeper than any of their othar arbitrary A ts since the wai opened, as the government la not likely to permit its mails to be molest ed by the esar’s officials or by any one else. The particulars of the Calchas affair were forwarded by D xlw ell A Co.; the Tacoma agents ot the line, to Frank Wooiaey A Co., their Portland repre sentatives, in the following telegram yqaterday: “ We have just sent the following tel egram to the postmaster general at Washington, D: C .: ‘ Following cable juat received from Alfred H olt A Co., Liverpool, owners of the British steam er Calchas. which vessel was seised by Russian Vladivostok fleet off Japan eoaat about July 26: “ Calchas release appealed against by Russian crown ad vocate, because amongst mail maltei waa information addressed Japanese officials containing financial informa tion of value to enemy. W e give yon definite instructions to notify poetoffioe department that we refuse to carry any mail for Japan daring duration of war.’ ’ “ 'The Calchas is one of the icgular liners operating between Puget sound London and Liverpool, via Japan, Chi na and the Sues canal. She was on her regular voyage and her cargo con tained no contraband. We understand that the Russian crown advocate is baring his appeal against her release on the fact that United Btatee mails carritd by the Calchas contained infor mation for Japanese officials. “ 'W e hope the United States gov ernment w ill take immediate action against the confiacatin or detention of the Calchas on account of carrying United States mail. This is certainly an outrage against the United Statee by the Russian government that should not be allowed to pass. Please be no tified that dm ins the duration of the war we must dec fine to carry United States mails for Japan. Kindly advise what action w ill probably be taken by the department and whether there anything that we could or should do. > v v y v W v v V > ¥ vv w w w i i m t teftetel OREGON NEWS OP INTEREST Distinguished Women of the Coun Prompt Action Urged on Blue R lv- er Mines. • try Booked for Next Year. f Oregon City— One of tha main fea tures of the Willamette Valley Chatau qua assembly foi 1906 w ill b* tbs part to be taken by the leading woman of the country and for which tbs board of directors ia already arranging.

SEPTIC TA N K A SUCCESS. Trustees Inspect One Recently In stalled at Mute School. Salem— The new aeptle tank recent ly constructed at the State Mate school is giving complete satisfaction. The board of trustees of that institution visited the school and were highly pleased with the improvement in the sewerage system, which makes the con ditions there more healthful. “ I t seems to me that the septic tank w ill come into general nee in cities,’ ’ said Governor Chamberlain, after hie return from the Mule school. “ By this process all solid matters are con snmed and the outflow from the septic tank is clear and odorless liquid. I believe these tanks should be used even where there is good sewer connections, for by this means the sewer system can be made to carry a larger amount of refnae and the stream into which it is turned.will not be so heavily polluted.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 11.— Replying to the statement of Count Okuma, lead er of the Japanese prog essive party, that the war with Kueeia would be long, but that the Japanese would win in the end, the Novoe Vremya today declares the idea of a possible com promise w ith Japan has been aban doned and that the war must be prose cuted by Russia in snch a way that there can be no possibility of Japan’s renewing the struggle. Europe for 30 years was under thé menace of revenge for AlBace. " " I f we conclude peace with Japan, all onrefforts in the Far East w ill be valneless and we shall have to spend enormous sums to keep up our arma ment there. The Japanese once for all must be driven ont of the Asiatic con tinent.’ ’ I t is now accepted here that the re ported naval battle off Port Arthur was purely imaginary. The naval reports of the newspapers dwell on the difficul ties which the Port Arthur squadron mast experience in breaking after the disastrous sortie of August 10. The general opinion is that the squadron coaid not venture out unless something happened to the Japaneee warships of which there is no knowledge here. SAMPLE ORES POR PAIR.
