THE ABoRIGINEs.--In q conversation,
with the Rev. Mr., Eells, Of Skokomish,
Mason County, we were kindly favored
with the following respecting the condi-
ton of certain of the Clalam Tribe OF In
dians with whom he had been visiting
while In the discharge of his duties: About
ten years ago an Indian at Elkwa lett the
tribe. took a place and began farming.
Notwithstanding all Indian influence for
4 long time was against him, he perse-
yered. being encouraged by the surround
ing settlers, and now has a number Of
acres cleared, where he raises chiefly pota-
toes and hogs. About three years ago
ANOTHER Indian abandoned tribal relations,
became an American citizen aud took up
homestead, aud has since led sober and
Industrious life, though previously quite
the opposite. Others now at the same
place are thinking Of following their ex-
ample. The Indians at Dungeness have
also acted in a similar way. Three years
ago they became so troublesome because
ofeonstant intemperance that the citizens
thought seriously OF petitioniug to have
them all removed to the reservation on
Hoods Canal. They were told Of this,
aud fearing no punishment so much as to
he obliged to leave the land OF their fathers,
th,y determined to reform. Sixteen Of
thsin combined together and bought 210
acres OF land five miles from Dungeness,
In 1874. 1t was difficult for them at first
as they had spent all their money for the
land, which was all timbered. They per-
severed, however, and now they have
quite village, called jamestown, on a
clearing Of II or 10 acres. In moral
point OF view they have improved, hold
ing church service nearly every Sabbath.
wheIe, as they have no white man to teach
them, they sing Chinook religious songs,
"a and pray. In all this they have
Dad very little assistance from Govern
nenh 1t being contrary to law to help
Indians who are not on the Reservation.
