run for four days without food or

greet them. Going north with the
Indians, the little company of white
men arrived at their journeys end,
and pitched their tents on the Bitter
Root, south of Missoula, between
Stevensville and Fort Owen.
The missionaries knew that for
some years TO come, the Indians
would have to depend on hunting for
their main subsistence, but as a first
step toward their civilization, they
should have a home, instead of lead
ing their former nomadic existence.
With this in view, all set to work
with a will. The Indians fenced the
land; a priests house and farm house
were built; and in less than five
weeks a temporary church was err

Warnings of frost and freezing

INDIANS IN MONTANA NOW
NUMBER 1858, SAYS CENSUS

The Indian p%oulation of Montana
numbers 1888, according to the last
Indian census taken by the Indian
service of the Interior department.
Six states have a larger Indian pop
ulation than Montana.
The total Indian population of the
United States is 346, 1862 or a gain
of 1928 during the past IL years.
The Indian population increased
2,619 last year. Oklahoma leads ali
states with an Indian population of
1889.
The Interior department claims
that there are now more Indians in
the United States than at any time
since the discovery of America, when
account is taken of the $4,000 or
more %pureblood Indians who have
surrendered their tribal identity and
mingled with the general population.
