Charley Strom Much of Agent Smith 'I correspondence deoU with the financial affelrt of the agency. Hit monthly rtporl of Jury I, JSS1, dacrib his mis communication on the budget. Warm Springi Jufyi I Sir I ha the honor to submit tht following at my rtporl of the nature and progress of the work at this Agency during On month ending June 30'. India Population During the month mart or less aflht Indian! have been off for a few dayt, at thi fUhery or gathering roott and the tariler kinds of berries, The unusually tevere winltr pretty well exhausted their nock qf provUlou, and hence necessitated the gathering of their old food luppUat, At this time nearly all are upon or returning to the ruervatlon to participate In the 4' qf July festivities. The physician report ihowt a gain of 'one in the population by birth. The number of met treatad wot 41 of which 33 were restored. There have been no deaths reported. One, or more of tht S persons now remaining under treatment may not recover, at they are In a critical condition. General Health and Sanitary tandllknt the general health and tanltary condition of the Indiana is very good, and I hope for a continued improvement. Day and Boarding School The teachen report shows 20 dayt taught, with an average attendance of 39 11 Progress hat been made in ttudlet and by the girls in learning to cut and fit garments, and making up of the tame, under the direction of the Asst Teacher. A few weeks vacation will be given, extending over the National holiday season and haying, early harvest and annual visit qf heads of families to the fisheries. Tht Saw Hill hat been running the entire month cutting upwards of 43.000 ft of lumber, for Agency use, ana principally for Indians. The Grist MiU Was that down to finish repairs and put up the new mill ttones or 'Strab Mill', Since its completion, it hat ground as occasion demanded as there was but little grain to grind. lingular Employe t . i report but one. Mr Wm McCorkle, who superintends the repairing of the Crist mill and testing up of the 'Straub Mill'. In addition to the remarks entered upon 'Monthly Report of Irregular Employee' for June l$Sl, 1 would toy that, owing to Ue and snow the mill was not fully repaired last December. MrL H. White who wot then employed as an authorized employe, could not make It convenient to finish the work in time to me balance of the appropriation before end of fiscal year, hence Mr. McCorkle was engaged, and completed the repairing and in addition setup the new mill stones. His work gives entire satisfaction. Apprentices Apart of them assisted in the repairing of the Crist Mill and the rest were busy in the carpenter A blacksmith shops and the saw mill. They also assisted me In the erection of a school house at the Sinemartha Valley. PoUcemen These have had but little to do in the way of making arrests. Several of the force will not renew their services, and should the past number be continued, will have to make some new selections. Regular Employes During the month the Clerk was busy in the office and making issues etc. The Sawyer divided his time b&ween running the saw mill, and assisting In repairing the flouring mill The Supt of Farming looked after the farming Interests, hauled in saw logs and hauled down lumber for repairing Mill, and also assisted a few days in the new school house for the Warm Springs, The Laborer for the Piutes aside from Ids duty as Interpreter and their assistant and adviser has put in some time, repairing the Agency mill, Improving the roads etc. I hope for advice at the earliest possible moment as to what employes I am to have during the present fiscal year. 1 have asked only for those that I thought were actually needed. Payment of Employes All my employes have been paid for services last quarter except the Clerk and Sawyer. When the funds for 1' A. 2' qr was received April 6' I did not examine the different appropriations to see whether there was a sufficient amount to pay for both quarters, taking it fbr granted that my estimate had been fully doubled giving me the same amount for 2' qr as for 1' qr. A few days ago I noticed the deficiency and immediately sent a telegram (June 27') hoping there by the sooner to get the funds, though principally hoping to enable you to draw on funds for that fiscal year, should you so desire. The mistake was perhaps owing to the language used in making my estimate in that Isold 'a clerk and Sawyer Q $300,00' Instead a ciert and a Sawyer Q SXXX 00 each, though the amount required fbr both was carried out making $950.00 for one quarter, which doubled would be $1900.00. while but $1500.00 was sent; less $32.50 on hand. Also pay of Apprentices was not doubled, but as the Industrial Teachers services were discontinued April 1' I had a surplus of 'Civilisation f-id ' to make good the deficiency. .J Semester grades due around January 31.
