A number of other missionaries
came in contact with the Flatheads.
among them Marcus Whitman and
the Rev. DR.. Parker, but the Flat
heads would have none, apparently
but the Black Robes that Ignace, the
Ioquois, had so eloquently described
to them.
Finally Ignace himself volunteer
ed to go for the missionaries He
started for Canada, but changed his
mind and went to st. Louis. He was
accompanied by his two sons. He
made the trip successfully. This was
in 1895.
Ignace was promised that mission
aries would be sent. He returned
to the Flatheads. Eighteen months
passed. No missionaries came, so
Ignace, the Iroquois, three Flatheads
and two Nez Perces Indians set out
for st. Louis for a third appeal.
While travelling with white people
they were attacked at Ash Hollow,
on the South Platte, and killed.
The whites we're told by their In
dian captors to stand apart while the
Indians were being butchered. Ig-|
mace, being dressed like a white man
and being an Iroquois, was also told
to stand apart, but he elected to die
by the side of his fellow warriors
"Thus persisted he who might justly
be called the apostle of the Flat
heads" says the author.
News of the deaths reached the
Flatheads. A fourth expedition was
at once decided on In council two
IrOQuOiS warriors at once volunteer
ed. They were Left Handed Peter
and young Ignace. They left the
summer of 1889, met some Hudson

Bay trappers, and made the trip down
the river in canoes. This time their
efforts met with success.
Father De Smet was sent as the
missionary. He was a Belgian from
Termonde, East Flanders. Young
Ignace acted as his guide. Peter
had advised of the missionary's COM
ing and a band of Flatheads were
at Green River to meet him. They
had been joined by Nez Perces, Pend
d'Oreilles and Kalispells and num-
bered 1900.
Chief The Big Face
When Father De Smet arrived at
the home of the Flathead nation he
was received by Chief The Big Face,
who delivered an address OF well
come.
He resigned his authority to me-"
Father De Smet wrote Father De
Smet returned to st. Louis to pro-
cure assistance in 1871. He brought
back with him Father Gregory Men
garina, Roman; Father Nicholas
Point, Vendean, and three lay bro
theirs, Joseph Specht, an Alsatian,
and two Belgians, Charles Huet and
William Claessens.
In addition to teaching religion,
Father De Smet taught them to cult
vate the soil. Seed and agricultural
were brought by him
from Colville. This was in 1912.
Father Zerbinati, Brother Vincent
Magri and Father Josef came as mis-
sionaries in 1845. While bathing in
the river Father Zerbinati was
drowned. Upon news of his death
reaching the Superior, Father Raval-
Ii, then stationed at Colville, was sent |
to replace him. This priest was an
all-round man. He was "an excellent |
an able physician, a good |
artist, an expert mechanic, and could |
handle with considerable skill the |
.ools and implements of almose every |
.rade." Father De Smet had shown
he Indians how to grow wheat, but
here was no mill to grind flour. A
land coffee mill or pounding the
rain with stone we're the only
lour making methods.

punished for their wickedness, but
in due time to be restored to human
shape. Some declared that they had
heard beavers talk together and saw
them sit in council to pass judgment
on an offending member
The author devotes several pas
sages to the habits of the beaver
Should any of the band prove incor-
rigible and refuse to do their share,
the lazy fellows are unanimously
driven off by the whole community
and forced to secure shelter and pro-
visions elsewhere" he says.
The Flatheads had their medicine
men, lamentations, charms and the
like. Polygamy was the rare excep-
ton among them. The chieftainship
was hereditary, but the war chief
was elected each year; his authority
ceased on his return from the hunt or
battlefield.
They were warm friends of the
Nez Perces tribe and intermarried
with them. Nez Perces Indians made
their homes among the Flatheads.
1.-THE fact that there were one or
two Nez Perces Indians with the Flat
heads who went to st. Louis to OBJ
tain Black Robes" the Indian name
for missionaries, "has caused some
writer's to be misled into stating, con-
trary to historical evidence, that the
claim on the first missionary efforts
made in the country on the part of
the Flatheads was unfounded,' /" the
author states.
The Flatheads first heard of the

luois, who came from the St. Law

renee river and settled among the
Flatheads.
Ignace was a giant physically and
won the respect of his hosts He
talked much of the missionaries and
of the religion taught by them. He
taught them many of the forms and
some of the prayers, induced them to
observe the Sabbath, and to baptise
their young. 1t was he who sug-
gested that they send to St. Louis for
missionaries.
Although none of them had ever
seen a white mans house and but
few had ever seen a white mans
face, and despite the fact that they
must traverse nearly 5000 miles of
mountains, desert, and sage brush,
and cross the country of deadly enc
mics, they undertook the journey.
In the spring of 1881 four braves
set out and reached ST. Louis in the
fall of the same year. Two of them
fell i'll and died and are buried in
the Catholic cemetery at the Cathe-
dral of st. Louis. The remaining
two set out on the return journey,
but never reached home. The purpose
of their visit was but imperfectly I'M
derstood. No one knew their Ian
guage in st. Louis.
In 1884 the Rev. Jason Lee and his
nephew, the Rev. Daniel Lee of Stan
stead, Canada, were sent to found
a mission among the Flatheads, I'M
der the auspices of the American
Methodist Episcopal church. They
did not remain, but continued to Ore
gon, where they established a mis-
sion among the Canadian colony on
the Willamette.

ton on Tuesday afternoon at the
home of the president, Mrs. Il. H.

phere. Mrs. ]. 7. Spencer is chair

len, Mrs. Il. M. Shock and Mrs. j.
| M. McElroy. All of these good wo-
men aided in one way or another 10
make the affair a great success.
The program consisted of a violan
solo by Mrs. Csepke, accompanied
by Mrs. a. G.. Brown. One of Mrs.
Csepke's selections was "Humor-
| esque." played as only Mrs. CsepAe
can play it. Mrs. w. H.. Gardner

she always selects.
Miss Katherine Spencer then play

most creditable manner. Frank Al

tute, then gave a lecture on Mod
ern Art" MI. Allen among other
things explained the use of such

pleasing
Mrs. l.. v. Buschman accompanied

All of the good ladies contributing
TO the afternoons pleasure, were
presented with colonial bouquets by
Miss Elizabeth Spencer. 1t was. in
deed, a most enjoyable program and
the talented club members and me
a members daughter, are to be COM
plimented upon their accomplish
ments.
The dining room with it's rose coll
pred shades over the amber and gol-
den brown coloring used in the
gave a particularly pleasing effect
that resembled the "peach bloom"

and was afterwards presented to the
president. Mrs. c. M. Cooper and
Mrs. ]. E. Breckenridge poured.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-03-17

Senator Runyon. of Union, who 10
practically assured of the Republi-
can nomination, voted against the
measure. Senator Larson, of Mid
dlesex, also voted against the bill.
The senate also passed Senator
Cases bill providing for the addi-
ton of one troop to. the state con-
stabulary. The governor ir his veto
message declared that such an adj
dition would cost in access of $780,
600, but these figures were denied
by Senator Case, sponsor of the bill
who declared that it would cost less
than half of that amount.

and added that it was also a refiec-
ton on Governor Edwards, who
signed the bill.
Senator Parry briefly replied that
the construction taken by the sem
ators from the article was an "un-
fair one" He said that a politician
was the source of the information
and inferred hat this was not the
time or the place for further dis
closures.
When asked by Senator Heath, OF
Mercer, which members of the legis-
lature received compensation from
the railroad company for their vote,
Senator Parry replied that he
thought none of them did. He con-
tended that the mere mention of the
fact that sums of money were spent

members of the legislature received
any of it. The question vas then
dropped.

Full Crew Repeater" The measure
passed the upper house yesterday
with but little discussion. Senators
Simpson and Heath spoke against
the measure, The minority leader
stated hat as the Republicans must
take the responsibility of passing
the bill, even though it is on the
eve of a guberpatorial election, it
may prove unwise. Senator Allen
replied that his party would be per-
fectly satisfied to assume the bur-
den. However, it vas noted that

Minority Leader Simpson arose and
quoted from an article which APP
peared in the Newark Evening News
to the effect that large sums of
money were spent by the Lehigh

the article was a reflection on the
integrity of every senator and as

it's origin. Majority Leader White
supported Mr.. Simpson in his views.
