PRoGRE>sING.-We take pleasure
in commencing the progress of the
Clallam Indians living at Dungeness.
Some two or three years ago rem
nant OF the Clallam tribe obtained
permission to purchase land fronting
on the salt water between Dungeness
Harbor and Sequim Bay. They set
tied there, formed little village Just
in the edge of the white settlement
and speedily cleared off, fenced and
put in cultivation their miniature
farms. On Wednesday of this week
Rev. VI. Eells, of Slokomish, went
down to Dungeness for the purpose
Of defeating a new church building
which these Indians have erected in
their little community. They already
have a school in progress which is be-
ING taught by Mr.. J. w. Blakeslee,
recently of White River, King county.
This school has an attendance of
about p pupils, with a prospect of
more. In fact, everything bespeaks
advancement toward civilization and
culture. These Indians have a civil
government of their own, regularly
organized and working like charm.
They belong properly to the Skoko-
mish reservation. under the charge
of Agent Edwin Eells To him they
look for the exercise of official au-
thori;y, but in his absence they are
governed by their chief, Balcb. This
chief conducts regular trials and pun
ishes his subjects for drunkenness
or disorderly conduct according to
the enormity of their ofenses, in reg
ular Judge Lewis style. He is aided
by his subordinates, who manage to
assist him so well that a very credit
able administration of their govern
meut is had. The remarkable i'm
provement made in this tribe is due
almost wholly to the efficient super
intendence of Mr.. Edwin Eells, their
agsnt, and of his brother, Rev. NJ.
Eells, who is laboring among them as
a missionary. These gentlemen are
sons of Rev. Gushing Eells, whose
labors as n missionary among the In
dams Of this country antedate by
several years the organization Of
Washington as a Territory. Their
efforts in behalf of the copper colored
race have been everywhere marked
with such hattering success as has
been noted in the above case.-Puget
