The difficulty OF One and All Lodge, NO
272. Sons of st. George. in securing q
band TO accompany them TO Lake Linden
on the 14th of next month, the occasion
of the annual reunion, will probably re-
suit in the permanent organization OF a
new band here. The local lodge made
every effort to secure band for that day
but for various reasons they could not
make arrangements suitable to all. There
are quite a number OF musicians among
the members of the lodge ond they deter
mined to organize baud among their
own members
This was week or so ago and since
that time eighteen good men have been
found and the band has already prac'
ticed two or three times, and the mem
hers are showing no little advancement.
The members include some who were Tor
merly with the Englith Oak band at Ne
gaunee and the I.hpeming band. One or
two also played in the band at Iron
Mountain and few were members oil cor
net bands in the old country. The leader
of the new band is Theodore Mann r. and
he is working hard to bring the band to
a certain degree OF perfection by the time
OF the celebration. ust
The new organization will be known as
the Sons OF st. George band andythe old
Red Jacket church has been secured as

st. George lodges in other parts OF the
country have bands composed entirely OF
their own members, and Calumet will not

A well pleased and enthusiastic audi
ence of the ,city's representative people
were at Winners Hall today to hear
lecture on Healing BY Magnetism" by
DIR. French, the eminent specialist in
chronic diseases. This subject as an
nounced by the doctor seemed to possess
a meaning far different from what is gen
eraIly known under the head OF vital
magnetism, aud judging from results
spread out before the wondering audi
ence the doctor possesses the healing
power to a wonderful degree. An elderly
lady who had been crippled for years, ex-
claimed, "He has taken all my pain
away" and yet the lady was on the
stage only few minutes. Others
claimed his attention, but the doctor
saws that he never expects many import
ant cases the first day. All who spoke
OF the doctor and his gift to heal" did
so in the highest terms, and predict full
houses OF the city's best people in the
future.
DR.. French will heal the sick every al
ternoon from $50 to $40 O'Clock, in
Winners Hall, free OF charge. Every
person is invited to attend these services.

the great divide early in the eighteenth
century were charmed with the native
wealth and beauty of the Clearwater
valley and made it a home. They
thrived and grew, and later gained dis
tinction among the powerful tribes of
the west. The skill of the hunters was
respected and prowess and courage of
our warriors were feared even beyond
the Rockies. Every summer our peo-
pie crossed the old Lo Lo trail to the
hunting grounds beyond, which now
comprise the states of Montana and the
Dakotas. and If need be offered battle
TO the tribes of that section. 1t is
common history of the tribe that they
defeat ted the Sioux in many honest con-
tests and returned with the enemies
horses laden with the spoils of war. In
those days there were perhaps as many
as 20 subordinate tribes, and as many
towns on our land. Our territory prac-
tically included all the basin of the
Clearwater river and many miles down
the Snake. She mini-kum (the present
site of Lewiston), Whitebird, kamiah,
Alpowa, Potlach,. Lapwai and Grand
Ronde were among the principal towns.
The chiefs numbered over 100. Period

Just before the hunting season, a re-
union of all the tribes was held al She

rowing life was conductive to good
health and longevity. Each tribe was
proud of the skill of its hunters and
warriors The offspring were objects OF
the greatest care. and were trained
from childhood in the arts of the bow
and war. Our warriors were men of
splendid physique and great athletes.

seems yearly to increase, is greater in
