INDIANS NOW
BECOMING GOOD
CHURCH REVIVAL SERVICES
WELL ATTENDED-MANY ON
ROLL WHO WERE FORMERLY
WITH RENEGADE DANCERS

The Nezperce Indians are now
gathering from all sections of the
reservation to attend the revival
services to be held at the Kamiah
Presbyterian church. The meetings
will open Wednesday and continue
for week, and it is expected the at
tendance will reach 400 before the
meetings are closed.
During the past few years many
of the older Indians are turning to
the church and 1t is believed the
weird war dance and fanatical OBJ
servances of the renegade. element
will soon pass into tribal history.
The church records show the
names of Indians who a few years
ago were most prominent in the
mystic celebrations and the. accom-
panying gambling debauches and the
younger Indians are practically all
members of some of the religious or
CARNATIONS.
Prominent Indians of the Neg
perez tribe welcome the change that
is now taking place among their
people, and 1t is claimed that reli-
.gion has done more to eliminate the
strong drink and gambling vices
than the most rigid enforcement of
the state and government laws.
The religious services ARE con-
Quoted entirely by the Indian
preachers and the sermons delivered
in the Indian tongue.

is now presenting his proposition for
an electric line to be built from Lew

good to Charleston people.

people to Lewiston and Charleston to
trade who would otherwise go to
Waila Walla. 1t seems that Mr.. Nc
Lean means business, and if all re-

subscribe 20 per cent of the cost of
construction and take their secur-
fly In stock.
