SHOOTING AFFRAY.-Matt Rice, the PROF
prietOr Ofthe Challenge Saloon, in La Grande,
was killed on Monday last, under the follow,
ing circumstances He had jumped hay
claim which has been held by one George
Reed, for two or three years past. The first
meeting of the parties occurred in the meat
market Of Foster & Weathers, about G o'clock
on Monday evening. A dispute arose and
Rice chased Reed around the room, uttering
threats, until Reed turned upon him and
shot him through the body, inhicting a
wound of which he died 10 an hour and
half-consciousne lasted but about fifteen
minutes. Mr.. Reed was promptly arrested
by Deputy Sheriff Warwick, who was deferred
from putting handouts upon him BY the
interference of the citizens drawn together
by the affrsy. This interference on the part
OF the citizens would indicate that the homi-
Nor So HEAVILY TA1HD.-New York Is
frequently referred to as the most extrava
gantly governed and heavily taxed city in
the United States. This is not so, according
to the World. In New York the rate of
taxation is only 80, while in all other cit
les it is more than that In Brooklyn it is
about per cent. Brooklyn, whose property
valuation il ouly Is per cent. of New York's,
has debt OF s22, 100000, s39, 100000 in
New York. In Brooklyn the debt is 143
per cent. of the valuation. while in New
York it is only about 81 per cent. II these
figures are correct-and undoubtedly they
are-ths extravsgance of New York has
been greatly exaggerated.

PERRY CREEK MINEs.-Mr. John Galbraith ar>
rived from the Koatensi country over week
since, but we were unable to see him 10 time for
our last issue. Mr.. G. reports that at present
times are dull on Perry Greek, on account of the
scarcity of money. This is accounted for by
the fact that the miners are all engaged in open.
ing their claims. When be left they were about
getting on the bedrock. Some three miles Of
the Greek had been Aumed, and all the miners
had great faith in the Greek. new camp had
been struck on the Moyea that promised fair,
but they had not got down to the bedrock; the
prospects in the top gravel were good-from one
cent to forty cents to the pan. Miners spoke
we'll Of the camp. In the old Kooteuai diggings
there is no particular change to note. About
three hundred Chinamen are at work in the old
camp. The Johns are not allowed to work either
on Perry Greek or the Moyea. There is great
complaint on the part of the miners at the fail
ure of the English officials to open roads com.
municating with the new mining camps. The
taxes paid by the miners are enormous, and
hence they feel justified in complaining at this
continued neglect.

are now o2 their way to Montana, with a
view to looking out route for the proposed
road. They are, as we understand, men ol
large capital, and their visit to this part Of
the country cannot fail to exercise bene6-

the study Of our citizens to show these gem
tlemen every courtesy, and make their stay

SENATOR WILLIAMS has gone to Wash.
ingtOn for the purpose of procuring rever-
sci of the order assigning military men to
the charge of the Indian Department in Orr
egon. Old "Flax Brake" thinks his re.elec.
tion depends upon the restoration of the old
system. At his 6rst election the money Of
the Indian Department was freely expended
10 bis behalf, and be thinks that a resort to
corruption will again be successful. 1t is
possible he may be successful with the Pres.
ident, but it when comes to an Oregon Leg,
lature, the result will be very different.
Williams long since became a stencil 10 the

CHICAGO FREIGHTs. We notice that
quite a business is springing up between
Walla Wala and Chicago. Goods are for.
warded from the latter place by Wells, Far.
go & Co.'s Express, through to WalIa Walla
in nine days. There is box of merchan-
disc now lying 10 the express Office, that was
shipped at Chicago on the I'd of July and
arrived at Walla Walla on the 1lth. The
box weighs IS pounds, and the express
charges through are s45 25. AT these rates
it will pay to ship the more valuable and
less bulky articles, and when it is borne in
mind that prices at Chicago in greenbacks
are lower than at San Francisco in coin, it
will be seen that Chicago offers BY far the
greater inducements to trade.

commodities sold as brandy and gin were

OF The Board of Excise are official. and will

Eut spring to tempt the eye;
Our eager lips essay to d:iuh-
we find the fountain dry.
a mothers love is potent,
But it. cannot tu,n aside
The shaft Of the Destroyer.
Or MY Lille had not died.
Alas! the quickeh'ng pulses
Beat swift, but Va n alarms,
For stern and rutl.l'ss was til. foe
That bore her from my arms.
