from the agency TO the crossing Of the
White Earth River about sxtyfve miles, Is very poor
producing only tough wiregrass which is eaten by
stock when first makes its appearance but soon be-
comes tough that they viii not eat it. Up TO that
point the country is almost void OF timber.
after crossing the White Earth found better
country, embracing some very nice bottoms along the
South Fork, with good water and timber though not in
abundance yet in sufficient quantity for necessary
uses

MORE WORK AT LESS COST THAN USUAL.

rBT TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Mr. Edward Mcpherson,
Chief of the Bureau Of Engraving and Printing has
made up the figures for his annual report to be
sent TO Congress in December. Mr.. Mcpherson has
been in a office little over a'year and the figures
given below win show to what purpose he has
worked
Compared with the fiscal year of 1S76L'77, the one
just closed shows creditable increase In the amount
Of work executed by the bureau, and very large
decrease in cost. During the year ended June
80, 1877, the aggregate expenditure Of the
bureau was $0S2,212 IS. During the year
Just closed it was SJ3s,61S 90, decrease
Of Sli3,504 20. OF the amount actually
expended 1872 107 20 will be repaid by other
bureaus for which the Printing Bureau has exc
cuted work. The net expenditure from the labor
and expense appropriation of $500 900 for the sup
port of the bureau was thus $16G51O So, showing
a saving to the Government of $633 $50 ii. an
amount equal to about two-thirds OF the appro-
priation.
comparison further shows an increase Of work
during the year just closed. The number Of plate
printings made in 1877 was 1s9S9,427; in 1873
2O,244,40O. The number Of surface pTintngs
made in 1877 was 377S,991; in 1873
G,11G,133. In 1877 there were 1884 volumes of
checks, drafts, stamps. etc. bound, and in 1873,
$1,000 volumes. The only process in which
a decrease appears is in the trimming, seDar-
alton, and perforating. During the greater
part Of 1877 there were employed between 200
ana 300 persons: in SIS only sos persons. While
this large amount Of work has been executed mt less

THE DESTRUCTION OF LIFE, PROPERTY AND CROPS
BROUGHT ABOUT BY DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY"
AT WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Aug. la special report just
received from Agent Connoyer OF Umatilla Indian
Agency, Oregon, dated July 49, says:
The outbreak has been severe blow 10 the people OF
this country. both Indians aud whites Forty whites
aud number of Indians have been murdered mp TO
the present time Many have fed from their homes,
leaving their harvest ungathered. their stock dis
persed killed. and their homes paged destroyed.
All the reservation Indians have lost their CROPS, eiher
by hOstes or by stock breaking into their fields. few
fields Wild Horse Greek and one Pend etOn are
not badly injured but the Indians afraid to harvest
them owing to the luminosity OF the Whites and before
the excitement subsidies their gain will shell and be
unfit 10 harvest Some OF the most industrious and
worthy Indians on the reserve have lost ather stock
and have not sufficient food to last month. Many are
already in want and but for the aid rendered by the
more fortunate Indians and myself by issuing cattle to
Them they would suffer for the neeessares Of life.
As the number Of INDECENT persons Is increasing, II
will be impossible TO supply them with food without
aid from the department Some provision should also
be made for the Government stock, the hay and
grain is all destroyed and they may perish during the
Winter unless provided for.
