fested in the Idea of advertising the
resources of the county that It is
believed the fund can be raised with
but little difficulty. However, the
soliciting committee Is now refraining
from any further active canvass for
funds until the managing committee
Is named. When the latter Is select
ed it will then be more fully known
Just how the fund will be used and
the work of soliciting will become
easier.

cording to a report from that place.
At a meteing of the Indian minis
ters and missionaries at the Tutullla
mission church on the Umatilla reser
vation last night it was decided to
form a circle of evangelical meetings
for the reservations of the northwest
for the year beginning July 1, 190S,
and ending July 1, 1909.
The churches which will be Includ
ed In the circle will be the following:
Stltes, Kamlah 1st, Kamiah 2d,
Meadow Creek, Lapwal, North Fork
and Fort Hall; Crow Mission, Mon
tana; Tutullla, Ore.; Warm Springs,
Stwlreville, M. E. Yakima reservation.
The ministers of the Umatilla and
N'ez Perce reservation were also Invit
ed to the Yakima reservation to as
sist In an cvangelllstlc meeting to
last from May 13 to 17 and a number
of those present promised to go.
The meetings at the Tutullla mis
sion will colse tomorrow night and
the Nez Perce people will return home
at noon, next Monday. A demonstra
tion will be made at the O. R. & N.
depot Monday before the train leaves,
the Indian ministers to sing the Xez
Perce songs and make brief addresses
to the Indians in the Nez Perce lan
guage. Rev. J. M. Cornellson, missionary
at the Tutullla church makes the fol
lowing statement concerning the meetings:
A Statement.
I Inke this means to make thi
statement to whom It may Interest
since some are asking about It.
The Indian ministers that have
helped In the evangelistic meeting at
the Tutullla church have done so
without any pay or any promise ot
enumeration. The same was true
Inst year when they were here, but
on the last Sabbath of their stay an
offering was made which was divided
equally, but It only payed a small part
of their railroad fare. We hope tr
make a similar offering this year, but
If any Interested friend wishes to en
large that offering by a small gfft.
such will be appreciated by the pn
tor and people and missionary of the
Tutullla church.
Some of the business men of Pen
dleton have already helped to defray
the bare running expenses of tha
meeting, such as programs, rent of
chairs and expense of pumping water,
etc., and other incidentals.
Much good has been done by these
meetings, all the Christians are much
encouraged and the whole communi
ty will feel the effect of the meetln
and be the better for having bad
them.
This Is a plain business statement
of faffs with no embellishments.
