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

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.
