Dressing BY Lottery.

tivated by the art work of the fac
tories. Many Of them are more stylish,
perhaps, than their position seems to
warrant, but this is easily explained.
They buy their clothes by system
known as "Maxims." This means that
twelve girls subscribe one shilling a
week. The money is held by a fore
woman, and when there is sufficient
cash to buy a hat or dress the girls
draw lots, and the winner has the new
dress, while the other subscribers have
to wait their turn. Then, in all the
glory of ribbons and finery, the lucky
girl appears on Sunday.

OUTRAGE BY RUSSIA.
United States Nail Is ConfiSCated
by VladiVOStok Squadron.

Portland, Oct. IL. -- The Russian
government, not content with stopping
vessels from the Pacific coast, because
they carried merchandise intended for
private firms and individuals in Japan,
has now taken to confscating United
States mails. This has been done with
the mail carried on the steamer
Calchas, and the act has caused pro-
test to be made by the owners and
agents of the steamer, which has been
filed with the postoffice department at
Washington. Alfred Holt & CO., the
owners of the Calchas, also give notice
that during the duration of the war
they will carry no more United States
mail to Japan.
The latest move of the Russians will
probably involve them deeper than any
Of their other arbitrary acts since the
wal opened, as the government is not
likely to permit Its mails to be molest.
ed by the czar's officials or by any one
else.
The particulars of the Calchas affair
we're forwarded by Dodwell & Co., the
Tacoma agents OF the line, to Frank
Woolsey 4 Co., their Portland repre-.
sentatiyes, in the following telegram
yesterday:
"We have just sent the following tel
egram to the postmaster general at
Washington, d. c.: Following cable
just received from Alfred Holt 4 Co.,
Liverpool, owners of the British steam
er Calchas. which vessel was seized by
Russian Vladivostok fleet off Japan
coast about July 26: "Calchas release
appealed against by Russian crown ad-
vocate, because amongst mail matter
was information addressed Japanese
officials containing financial informa-
tion of value to enemy. We give you
definite instructions to notify postoifice
department that we refuse to carry any
mail for Japan during duration of
war"
" The Calchas is one of the regular
liners operating between Puget sound,
London and Liverpool, via Japan, Chi
ma and the Suez canal. She was on
her regular voyage and her cargo con.
tanned no contIaband. We understand
that the Russian crown advocate is
bating his appeal against her release
on the fact that United States mails
carried by the Calchas contained infor-
nation for Japanese officials.
we hope the United States gov
ernment will take immediate action
against the confsCatin or detention Of
the Calchas on account of carrying
United States mail. This is certainly
an outrage against the United States
by the Russian government that should
not be allowed to pass. Please be no.
titled that during the duration of the
war we must decline to carry United
States mails for Japan. Kindly advise
what action will probably be taken by
the department and whether there is
anything that we could OF should do. -

CLARK, INNOCENT PURCHASER.
Title Disputed TO Land Grants AC.
quired Fraudulently.

San Francicso, Oct. lG.-The case of
the United States against Senator Will
liam A Clark, was argued today before
the cilcuit court of appeals. 1t came
before this bench on an appeal from
the circuit court for the district of
Montana.
The action is brought to annul 82
land grants under which Clark claims
title TO timber lands within the state
of Montana, on the ground of alleged
frauds committed by the patentees in
securing the same.
1t is charged that the patents we're
secured under the direction of Robert
M. Cobban, who later transferred the
land to CLARK. Cobban Ie alleged to
have FIST examined the lands and then
hired persona to enter them under the
stone and timber act, agreeing to pay
them for their services, to defray all
their expenses and furnish the pur-
chase price OF the lands.
The lower court held that, on such a
state of facts, Clark, the innocent pur-
chaser for valuable consider alton,
acquired a valid title. The govern
ment took the matter on a writ of er-
ror to the circuit court of appeals.

FIGHT AT SEA
Russian Fleet at Port Arthur

FORT IS EXPECTED TO GIVE up
Opinion Based on Assertions That

Until Hope Was Gone.

that late yesterday evening a naval bat.
tie had occurred at Port Arthur. While
no details are obtainable other than
that the fight is said to have followed a
sortie ON the part of the Russian squad.
ron, the belief prevails that there can
be no doubt as to the outcome. The
Russian vessels as is we'll known, are
in no condition to meet Admiral Togo !
well-equipped and thoroughly repaired
fleet. In addition to this, the Rus.
SLAMS are greatly inferior in numbers.
A sortie at this time by the Russian
fleet would have peculiar significance,
as it would indicate the land forces
found their position had become unten-
able, and the fall of the stronghold is
now expected to follow quickly. II has
been stated on numerous occasions late
ly. and on the best Of authority, that
the battletorn fleet bottled up in the
harbor of the Port would make no fur
ther attempt to escape, until the last
hope of relief OF holding out had gone.

CRASH IN DEEP CUT.
Bad Freight Wreck on Northern Pa
CifiC In Montana.

Missoula, Mont, Oct. l2.-One Of
the worst freight wrecks which has oc.
Cured on the RocRy Mountain division
of the Northern Pacific in many years,
from the standpoint of delayed traffic,
took place at an early hour this morn
ing, about five miles east of Garrison,
Mont. Freight cars loaded with ex-
port shipments for the Orient, were
piled 80 feet high, and the wieckage ol
two trains is scattered along the track
for considerable distance.
Traffic was brought to a complete
standstill, and no trains were able to
pass the scene OF the wreck for 1S
hours. One of the train crew, Fireman
Bowman, of an extra east bound freight,
was instantly killed, and two other
trainmen were hurt, though not seri-
ously.
The accident was due to a mistake
in constituting the orders on the part of
the engineer Of the eastbound freight.
He had orders to meet three sections of
No. So freight, west bound, on the sid"
ing at Big Bend The third section had
passed the extra ahead of the original
second section. AS the number of the
engine of this second section corre-
sponded to the engine supposed to be
pulling the third section, as given in
the orders, the EXTRAS engineer pulled
out.
The extra met the original second
section in deep cut, while both trains
were running at high rate of speed
The impact was terrific, throwing the
debris mountain high, both engines
completely telescoping. 1t was impos'
sible to build track around the wreck
by reason of the deep cut.

PATENT DRUGS COUNTrRreITrD
Factory in New York Is Discovered
by Detectives.

New York, Oct. l2.-The New York
police are convinced that they have
broken up gigantic drug swindle bv
the arrest of several men in this city.
The arrests were made on information
that we'll known proprietary medicines
were being counterfeied and sold as
genuine, and the authorities assert that
the investigation is not complete.
Drugs seized at the apartment of
Howard E. Wooten today, it is said,
are valued at $40, 900. Wooten is one
of the men under arrest The Others
are s. B. Minden, Manville Thomas,
Charles s. Horn, Charles F. Risley and
Walter S, RoCkey. 1t is asserted by
local detectives that slips were found
in the places raided giving the names
of 5000 druggists throughout the
country to whom dangerous mixtures
made in New York were sold.
1t is said that the most in portant
finds in the raids was the circulars sent
out to druggists and containing the
code by which they could order the
preparations. 1t is alleged by the po-
lice that preparations made by the best
known chemical firms in Europe were
counterfeited. In circulars discovered
was the statement:
"AlI these goods are genuine, in
original packages and unopened"
The price list showed that the drugs
in the list were being sold at from 10
to so per cent below the usual selling
price.

The great mass of nearly $4,000, ,00(

In the world.
The statement that she moved noise

the roar of the big cannon on the Unit

whose key was pitched under the build

whistle between Ballard and Black
river turned loose and hundreds of craft

Fully $4,000 people viewed the cere-
