Indian Affairs.
WAsHINGToN, Nov. 26.-The Indi.
ian Commissioners recommend that
all of the lands including in the NAL
hcnr reservation be appraised and
sold and the proceeds invested for
the benefit of the Indians. These
lands comprise nearly one million
eight hundred thousand acres.
The condition of affairs at the
Yakima agency where 5000 Indians
are collected, is reported to be high
II gratifying. They arc extensively
engaged III agriculture and stock
raising, cultivate eight thousand
acres of land, and last year raised
thirtyiive thousand bushels Of wheat,
besides various other products, in
Guiding 200 tons of hay; $500 of
them now wear civilized dress. They
have huilt handsome church and q
number of tirst-class farm houses,
and less than 10 per cent. of their
wants are now supplied by the gov
eminent. Their complete civiliza-
ton under the excellent manage
ment of their old agent, Friend Will
bur, is believed to be near at hand.
Attention is called to the fact that
tho treaty provisions providing Nos
the support and civilization of Me
following tribes expired last June,
viz, Walla-walla, Cayuse and Una
tilla tribes in Oregon, and Dwamish,
Makahs, Quinaults, Clalams and
Yakimas, in Washington Territory.
The report says the present con-
dition of these Indians renders it
important that tho aid and assist
ance heretofore extended be con-
tinued, and that early steps be taken
for their permanent settlement upon
lands in severalty, and for the sale
of so much Of their respective reser-
vations as may not be required by
them. Many of these tribes have
made commendable progress in civ
ilized pursuits, in the past few years
and there is and uneasy feeling and
great anxiety on tie part of many of
their leading chiefs to know what
the policy OF the Government will be
toward them.
