Bear Ridge Sunday School
W. R. Johnson, representing the
American Sunday School Union, in
returning from Big Bear Ridge
where he nas been the last few days,
reports a splendid work being done
by the Big Bear Ridge Union Sun
day School which is being carried
on by H. L. Ingle as superintendent.
When organized last spring there
were about forty members, while at
this time the enrollment is over a
hundred pupils of all ages, the
school house being taxed to the very
limit, so noticeable is the lack of
adequate quarters that the people
are thinking about building new
quarters, howevefc the "thinking"
has not as yet, taken on any definite
form. The average of this school
is very large, there being several
classes, but the largest is that of the
young people, taught by Mrs. H. I«.
Ingle. A rather unique class, lor
there are thirteen girls and thirteen
boys enrolled. Their teacher
promised them a social as soon as
the class reached twenty-five mem
bers, so she gave a Hallowe'en social
at her home last Saturday evening.
The home was lavishly decorated
with Hallowe'en pictures, ghosts,
candles, black cats, witches, real
pumpkin faces, shock of corn, ash
berries, pumpkin pie, cocoa, apples,
nuts, — of course these last named
were the refreshments. The guests
were received by the ghost who
gave them a spookie reception; the
evening was given over to music,
readings, ghost stories with the
'lights low, various fortune-telling
contests, and ghost-like games in
which all could participate. Then
in the "wee sma hoors" of the
.morning the young people crept
noiselessly homeward with happy
hearts and sleepy heads, but with
the assurance that they had had the
time of their young lives. Miss
'Claribel Ingle, of Clarkston, Wash.,
was one of the out of the com
munity guests.
Mr. W. R. Johnson, the general
representative of the American
Sunday School Union, with Lewis
ton as headquarters, helped start
the Bear Ridge Sunday School last
June. He spent Saturday and Sun
day up there, addressed the Sunday
school in the morning, and then
in the evening at the suggestion of
some of the young people, helped
organize a Christian Endeavor
people, being present. Mr. Fred
Hecht was elected president, Miss
Cartwright, vice-president, Miss
Johanna Hooker, secretary-trea
surer, and three three-member com
mittees: a membership, a program
and a social committee. Following
the organization and installation of
officers Mr. Johnson gave his ad
dress on "Secret of Success," in
which he set forth some of the re
quisites of a successful and happy
life.
Organized in 1817 as a co-operat
ing agency of the various evan
gelical churches, the American Sun
day School Union, with headquart
ers at Philadelphia, has constantly
pursued the policy of ministering
to the otherwise "unreached" of
America until conditions made
possible their care by establishéd
churches. This Society is unde
nominational in form, inter-de
nominational in work, and denom
national in results. Note some of
the things done last year thru-out
the United States: There were 235
missionaries in Ihe field, some serv
ing only a part of the year; these
men oragnized 840 new Sunday
Schools with an enrollment of over
63,000 scholars, visited and aided
8,640 existing schools, delivered
18,449 sermons and addresses to
rural audiences, visited 176,556
families in their homes, distributed
15,006 Bibles and Testaments, and
over 7,000 Gospels of John, and dis
tributed books, periodicals and Sun
day school helps, especially adapted
to rural life, nearly 2,000,000
copies.
"We sometimes get the idea,"
says Mr. Johnson "that the church
is losing ground. Last vear thirty
eight churches of various denomina
tions grew out ot the Union
Schools, seventeen of these having

Republican Landslide
It is estimated from the reports
that are m that the Senate repub
lican majority will reach ten and
the House KXL This gives the re
publicans a'large working margin

was swept by the avalanche and
Champ Clark made the victim of
the republican landslide.

Wood For Children's Home
Kamiah Progress: Rev. M. A.
Covintgon, superintendent of the
Children's Home at Lewiston, visit
ed Kamiah Tuesday in the interests
of the home. He spent Tuesday in
the Woodland-Harrisburg district,
where may be found many warm
supporters of the institution. Re
cent years the Woodland and Harris
ourg people have donated a carload
of wood to keep the children in the
pome cozy and warm and they will
load another car Saturday of next
week, November 6. There will pro
bably be room for several extra
loads and any others who have wood
to spare may bring it in that day.
The car will he loaded partly at
Kamiah and partly at Pardee. Mr.
Covington said he had met with a
very generous response from Kam
iah people for the work of the home
and was veiy appreciative of it.
The Children's Home is indeed a
worthy institution .and under Mr.
Covington's good management is
carrying on its work efficiently.
erected houses of worship. Also
seveial Sunday School chapels were
built. Many young peoples' so-1
cieties, prayer-meetings and reg
ular preaching stations opened, and
as a crowning glory to the work
4,358 conversions weie reported."
Besides the Big Bear Ridge Sun-i
day school, Mr. Johnson has organ
ized at Park, Big Bear Creek and
West Cove. He now has some
twenty-one schools which he has!
started since coming to Idaho a,
little over a year ago. These schools
are distributed out thru the seven
counties which comprise his field,
There are other districts in Latah
where he hopes to organize within
the near future, among these being
Little Bear Ridge.
A Group Gathering (something!
new) will be held on Big Bear
Ridge in June, several Union Sun-}
day schools and others going
together for an all-day Sunday
school program and basket dinner,
and the group commissioners esti
mate that over a thousand people
will be there that day. Are open
country Sunday schools failing to
function? Ask some of the folks
who attend these schools.

Good Hunting Trip
F. Callison and Fred Crocker
returned from their big hunt, Fri
day. They had a fine trip and
brought two deer and one elk home
with them. They left Kendrick,
October 5, bound for the SeKway
country above Kooskia. They were
within 17 miles of the Montana line
at a point about 82 miles
above Kooskia. At this point the
snow was about a foot deep. The
hunters had six horses when they
started, but one gave out at Liowell,
which is on the Cleai water at the
mouth of the Selway River.
Fisning was of the best in the Sel
way. Mr. Callison caught a num

Mr. Callison was the only one out

The following article taken from
the Lewiston tribune gives the
results of the election in Nez Perce
county:
Returns from the election in Nez

re-elected to that office, he be ing
the only democrat elected. ' With
complete returns received from all
precincts except Melrose, Taplin
and Chesley, his majority over S. O.
Scudder is 44, while indirect advice
gives Armstrong 30 majority in
Melrose precinct and seven in Tap
I in precinct. The Chesley precinct
returns were sealed immediately
upon the conclusion of the count
and no specific figures will be avail
able from that precinct until the
