Vie Supl of Fanning lias looked after the Department fuming interests, its stock, and hauled i W for the boarding school. Religious and Moral W ork Regular Sabbath services hae been kept up, the services being cxmlucted by myself or the sawyer M. W. Walker. We hope lo keep the work from going backward, during the absence of the Agent, and hope when he returns, he will be able to infuse new life into the work, or bring help that will so do, by iheir unhid (sit j efforts. Perplexities A few days ago some suntyors under ivntract with the Surveyor General for Oregon, and uiuler written instructions from him, were desirous ofresunrying the north boundary line of this Reservation, byt when they went to where some of the old stakes or mounds had been placed, the Imlians objected lo these being replaced. Viey wanted a line located where they were told it should be, when llie treaty was nmle. Word was sent to me, and I went over to see the sumyors, and to satisfy them that the surveyors were only wanting to find where the line had been once located, in order that they might not come upon the reservation, with their surveys. I did not find the surveying party as they were off in the hills, surveying some fractional townships. I learned that they wanted to trace out the line some lime this week. In coming home 1 followed the line some miles to the west of Oak Crow, and from all I can learn I think a new line ought to be located. I hoped ere this to have received an answer lo my letter of 8th last May, asking jfa new line could be located. I should haw telegraphed to you, but the stoppage of our mail sen-ice, rendered it uncertain as to Shortly before Smith 's journal ends, he submitted his monthly report for July 31, 1SS2, describing his return from the General Assembly in Illinois. Viis column contains the last excerpt from the Smith Journal' that I will include in the Old Days' Column. Warm Springs August 1 ' 2 Sir I have the honor to submit the following as my report for the month ending July 31" 1882. Personal 1 regret that I could not visit Washington while I was in the East. The intensely hoi weather; and the shortness of time remaining to me after attending the General Assembley siij, and visiting friends and relatives in Illinois and Indiana; both made it seem necessary and best that I should return home. Owing to the terrible storms, prevailing at that lime, our train was delayed four days, and thus I missed the steamer for Portland, from San Francisco, and had to stay in the latter city six days. The voyage up to Portland was very rough, and I had to remain in Portland several days to recover from its effects, so that 1 did not reach the Dalles until the 10" of July and the Agency some days later. I found every thing had been properly carried on, during my absence, and I trust my visit East will be the means of doing more good for my Indians, than would have been done had I remained at home. Indians and their pursuits During the month most of the Indians have been off at the salmon fisheries or in the mountains digging roots or gathering berries. Necessity has driven them to do this, more than they have had to do for some years since. In some localities the grass hoppers and crickets destroyed their growing crops, and in all places the grain crops have suffered more or less from the extremely hot weather, and many fields will not pay to harvest. Vie white settlers in other locations in this country are not more fortunate and will have hard work to make ends meet. I am sorry that the Indians are compelled to fall back upon their former means of subsistence, but it cannot be ????????. Still garden products look well, and many will have plenty of vegetables. Tlie Physicians Report shows 52 cases treated with I died, 43 recovered and 8 remaining. The general health has been very good. Hie Teacher Reports Of the Day and Boarding School eleven days were taught with an attendance of 28 children, and an average of 12 12 nearly of Indian children and 3 511 of white children. The school was so small that the Boarding Department was dispensed with, and no assistant was engaged either as teacher or matron. For Industrial School "see remarks" in report. Vie Mills The Saw mill was run only a few days cutting about 15,000 ft of lumber. I have no sawyer, and the assistant could not be at the mill all the time, and when he was found it necessary to repair the mill dam and clean out the mill race, owing to the failing of the water supply. The grist mill has been run most every day, but the grists have been small. Within the past week some new wheal has been brought in, but no large grists. Very few Indians will have much wheat lo grind. Police Force With one exception the old force has been continued and though they have made no arrests, still they ha-e rendered good service in causing the more reckless to respect the laws, and those in authority o-er them.
