The North Idaho Indians broke camp today at Mason's Butte, where they have been settled for the past 10 days, attending the annual Indian campmeeting. It has been estimated that fullv 1000 Indians throughout the entire Northwest, from the Flathead, in Montana, to the I'matllla to the West, and as far sijuth as Wyoming, were present. "The csmpmeetlng was one of the grandest religious meetings I have ever witnessed, and It was the greatest In dian meeting that has ever been as sembled In this country." said Rev. Mr. Lattimore. of Kewtston. pastor of the Lewlston Presbyterian Church, upon his return today. "The Indian ministers have worked wonders with the newly converted redmen. and I was not only deeply Impressed with their intense sincerity, but at the advancement In learning that has accompanied their newly-acquired faith." The entire assembly of Indians 'were In attendance at every meeting, and children, whether able to comprehend or not. were brought to all meetings. One of the features of the series was the frequent convening of children's meetings. The sermons were made more effective, owlftg to the prevalence of English-speaking and understanding Indians. From now on yearly the Indians of the Northwest will assemble at this spot, given to them by the Government, and they will continue their meetings. Many conversions were results of the effective work of the Indian and white apostles. Those leading the meetings were: Indian. Rev. Moses Montleth and Rev. James Hayes; white leaders. Rev. A. L Hutchinson, of Tacoma; Rev. Tuattl more. of Lewlston: Rev. D. O. Gormaley. of Moscow, and Dr. U G. Lee. of Se attle. AUTO BREAKS MAN'S NECK C. C. Inman Hovers Between Life and Death. GRANTS PASS.
