dnmrthliiK About Father Wilbur's Indiana
and What They are Doing.
Kev. J. H. Wilbur, agent of the Yakima
Indian lieseivatinn, is in the city. The object
of his visit is to get some mill and harvesting
machinery repaired. He has at present under
his charge some 3000 Indians, representatives
of 13 different tiibes being included in the
number, all of whom are living in peace and
harmony. Last year nearly,40.000 bushels of
giain were raised upon the reservation. This
year he does not expect more than hall a
crop on account of dry weather. The tribe
of Piutes, who have been for s me time un
decided as to whether they wor.ld remain
thero or not. have finally been settled ou a
tract about 12 miles below the auency at the
confluence ot the Simcoi and Tupnish rivtrs.
They have cleared off 130 acres, about 100 of
which i iu grain, and they have constructed
an ungating ditch 0 miles long, 8 feet wide
aud 2 leet deep. The Yakima Reservation
is a betutiful aud fertile section and must be
a healthy place, as Father Wilbur looks
about as youug and robust, as lie did a dozen
years since, when V o Wiiter camped near his
agency and made his fi'st acquaintance with
coyotes and rattlesnakes. On reuiaiking tn
the reverend utiatU man that the reservation
would be a fine couutry when the Indians
were gone and the land settled by whites, he
intimated that such an occuireuce was not
likely ever to take place, evidently beUcvinu
that eiviltzing and christianizing was not go
iug to prove fatal tn his charges, as has almost
iuvariahly been the case tn Indians.

The work of scraping on the middle sands
at the mouth of the Columbia is progressing
favorably. Tho south channel is filling cp,
and the greater amount of water passing
through tho middle channel in consequence,
renders the present a pecuniarily favorable
time for workini: there. The tus Brcnham
and Escort aro employed, tho lat er with toe-
new machine invented by Lieut. Jijcnanaii.
Although nothing definite in reward to the
workings of the new machinery can be defi
nitely ascertained, sufficient is known to war
rant Capt. Powell in the opinnui that it will
prove a valuable adjunct to. the scraper noa
work. a ny me nreniiaiu. mere is now a
depth of eignteeu feet iu the channel through
the mi. Idle sands, a gain of four fet, and
Cant. Powell, is ot the opinion that the depth
can be nivreastd to 24 feet, in which case
ships of 22 feet draught can enter in safety.
When the loium 'A weutto so i tlio last
timo, she went through he new channel now
beiui made by Lieut. Buchanan. The istate
of California a ill go out the same course on

The Salman Pack for lust.
Many fears have been expressed that the
salmon pack of this seasofi would fall far short
of that of last car. A gentleman who is
thprougnly posted in regard to the matter,
furnishes the following inf irmation:
Sklmnn pack up to July 1st, 1832, 292,912
cae.
Salmon pick up to July 1st, tfiSI, 325,000
rases.
Miortape to the 1st of Jul). 32.083 cases
It is thong'. t by the most competent judges
that this lortage will be overcome by the
splendid run of fi-h now pouring in. Fish are
largo anil the average take is good, we may,
therefore, unless something unforseen occurs,
look lor a pack ot over 500.000 cosew, or sav.
one in ml to l..st seasons, 545,00 cases. On
the 1st of June there was a shortage of 67,000
caBcs as ngaii st last eiou'(i Pack of that
date, there has. however, been a steady in
crease, aud a tough up river canneries have
fallen back, Asti na, with the old canneries
and increased facilities, and new ones added.
has pulled the score up ripidly under the fine
Julv ran. It is also said that fish will be
taken aft r July 31st, us the I iw is considered
unsound, if this is so tho pick may reach
larger proportions than ever ocfore known.
