News From the Indian Mission

Christmas at the Mission was
ushered in with a tree. Although
Santa Claus was not so generous
as a year ago no Indian child was
forgotten, several Bonners Ferry Cit
liens having made liberal contribu-
lions. 1t is to be hoped that the
Indians may soon be educated to
the fact that the spirit of Christ
mas requires giving as well as get
ting. 1t was this thought that the
school management had in mind and
evidently the Indians may be finally
won over to this point of view.
Many small articles of wearing APP
parel were purchased by the Indians
and presented from the tree.
Sabina Pierre, with whom most
Boomers Ferry people are acquainted,
died Friday evening at the Indian
Mission. She had been a long suf-
ferer from tuberculosis and her
death had been expected for some
time. Father Lambot, her pastor,
was called from Cranbrook to adj
minister the last sacraments, arriv-
ing the day before her death.
In the death of Sabina the people
of the Mission suffer a real loss.
She was the only educated Indian
girl at the Mission and in many
ways had been of great assistance
to her tribes people, aiding them
when sick and showing her real
worth on many occasions.
The two-months-old babe of Chief
Charley Isadore, of the Kootenai
Indians, died Sunday morning. Flu
neral services were held the same
day.
M. S. Fisher, superintendent at
the Indian Mission, has been con-
cined to his home since Christmas
with a severe attack of la grippe.
Miss Natalie Wiley has been the
house guest for the past week of
Mrs. M. S. Fisher at the Mission.
