MADE DIES FOR THE OREGON MINT
Victor M. Wallace,a pioneer of 1847 died at Kelso, Washington,on Sept. 5th. Mr. Wallace was a settler at Oregon City and made the first die with which the $10 gold pieces were stamped at the Oregon mint. While here his first work was to turn balls for a bowling alley, afterwards he made two threshing machines--the first in the territory, and the printing press upon which the Free Press, which was edited by Mr. Currie, was printed. In 1850 he removed to the Cowlitz valley and built the first school house in that territory.
