THE OREGON MINT.-The bill providing
for the establishment of a Branch Mint at
Portland, Oregon, has been defeated in the
House of Congress. AS it should be; for
if a branch mint is at all needed north of
San Francisco, it should be established at
some point where it would benefit the mi
ners. A mint at Portland would be of little
more benefit to the miners of the upper
country than the mint at San Francisco.

The Union party of Oregon is opposed to
the mines on this coast being taxed by the

recommended by the Administration and

A NUMBHR of persons have lately arrived
here and at Lewiston who have been driven
out of the Beaver Head country by the
Vigilance Committee. They report that
there is an "irrepressible conflict going on
there between the Pixies Peak miners and
the Californians, Oregonians and Washing
tonians. Thus far the "Pikes" have the
best of it, they constituting majority Of
the Vigilantes. Any one hailing from this
side of the mountains is at once set down by
the Pixies as "suspicious character" and
the mere fact of being seen once in bad com
pany insures a warning-to leave the country
within twenty-four hours. Aleck Carter,
formerly engaged here as packer, was re-
Gently hung by the committee for shooting
a man--as' report says-in self defence.
Tom Reilly, with company of % rnen had
started for Fort Benton, and fifteen of the
vigilantees were in pursuit of him, intending

IMPROVE Your LoTs.-The City Coun-
Gil has passed an ordinance requiring per-
sons holding vacant lots within the city lin
its, under the pre-emption law, to relocate,
fence and build upon them The ordinance
is substantially the same as the old county
regulation, which, in many instances, has
never been complied with, and the object in
passing and enforcing it is simply to carry out
the intent of the town site law in giving cit
liens homestead, and to prevent monopoly
in holding lots The ordinance will be found
in another column of today's paper

Two Indians, charged with numbering a
man at Kettle Falls, last fall were brought
down from Fort Colville this week, to be
tried here at the present term of the district
court The circumstances are as follows =
One of the Indians told of the murder some
four months after it had been committed,
and the authorities went to the place de-
scrbed by the informant and exhumed the
body Of man, whom they were unable to
recognize; but supposed to be that of per-
son known at Colville by the nickname of
"Texas." The murder was committed at
Kettle Falls, near old Fort Colvlle, on the
Carriboo trail, and it is supposed the man was
on his way from the mines to Colville to
spend the winter. The murderers belong
to the Okanagan tribe, and followed the man
some distance, to murder him for his money,
which they state amounted to only ten dol
lars.

conversation with another the other day

withstanding his protestations to the con

believe just as his opponent did in regard to
the policy of the Administration. Looking
