202     REPORTS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF THE               INTERIOR. 
Roads and ditches.-In addition to the $1,546 paid for labor on roads and
ditches and other improvements of a semipublic nature, each able-bodied Indian
was required to perform 4 days' work on the roads. Over 200 days' work was
reported. This labor was expended in building roads up the mountains to 
the timber. Public roads on this reservation were located on higher ground
and where they would not interfere with farming operations. Altogether about
8 miles of new road were built during the year. One and one-half miles of
new ditch was also built. The Indians were very anxious to work for money
and furnished all labor, wood, grain, and hay for which we had money to pay.
Missionaries.-This reservation has been without a missionary this year 
until June. The Protestant Episcopal Church has a building here and Miss
Catherine C. Shaw, deaconess, and Miss Gertrude W. Welton have just been
sent here as missionaries. These Indians have very little religious training
and seem as loath to accept that as the other elements of the white man's
civilization. 
School.-An attendance of 96 was maintained during the year, which was 
higher than ever before. But owing to the crowded condition of the school,
caused by the fire last year, and epidemics of smallpox and la grippe, the
school 
work was not very successful. Had it not been for the efficiency of the 
employees it would have been a failure. About 50 children had smallpox in
a 
mild form, but none fatally. Several children were sent home during the year
suffering from tuberculosis and three have died from that disease. Three
others have died from other causes since school closed June 1.
