Alcohol, Llndqulst said, presents no problem on some of the reserva tions, although on others tho drink evil seems to be Increasing. "There Is gambling on at least five reservations," ho said, "and this Is especially true of the Indian women. I heard of one tnstanco whero women gambled for blankets and stayed up long after midnight doing so. It Is probablo that $600 worth of blankets changed hands." Tho Influence of tbo rocdlclno man. Llndqulst said, has almost entirely disappeared. Most of the natives havo embraced Christianity and many mis sions havo been established.
