Grand Ronde Ageney.-The Indians at this agency comprise the Molalla, Clacknna, Calnpooia, Molel, Lmpqua, Rogue River, and otlher bands, Reventeen in all, with a total population of 870. The reservation pon which these bands are located is iu the north- western part of the State. It contains 69,120 acres, and was set apart for their occupation by treaty of Jannary 22d, 1855, with the Molallas, Clackamas, ete., and by Executive order of June 30th, 1857. Sonme portions of this reservation are well adapted to grain-raising, though inuch of it is rough and heavily timber ed An allotment of land in severalty has been directed to be made, nuch to the gratitication and encouragement of the tribes These Indians are inclined to indnstry, and show commendable zcal in enltivating their farms, growing crops which conpare fa- vorably with those of their white neighbors. Their eastoms and e also exihibit a inarked improvement. One school is in operation, with an attendance of fifty sclholars

Siletz Ageney.-The Indiais at tlis agency are the Chasta Sco- tans and fragments of fourteen otlher bands, called, generally, coast-tribes, numbering altogether abont 2500, These Indiaus, including those at the Alsca Sub-agency, lave a reservation of 1,100,800 acres set apart for them by treaty of August 11th, 1855; which treaty, however, has never been ratilied, although the reser vation is occupied by the Indians. They were for a long time much averse to labor for a support; but recently they have shown more disposition to follow agricnltnre, although traditionally ac- customed to rely chiefly upon fislı for food. Many already have their farms well fenced and stocked, with good, comfortable dwell ings and out-houses erected thereon There is no reason why they should not, in time, become a thoroughly prosperous people. The filure to make allotuments of land in severalty, for which survcys were commenced in 1871, has been a source of much un easiness to the Indians, and has tended to weaken their confidence in the good intentions of the Government. One school is in ope ntion on the reservation, with an attendance of twenty scholars None of the tribes or bands at this agency lave any treaty rela tions with the Tnited States, unless it may be a few members of the Rogue River band, referred to under the head of the Grand Ronde Ageney
