Pocatello, Idaho.~Every year In midsummer the Bannock Indians travel a little-used trail to thelr dane. ing grounds. Between 800 and 1,000 of them gather yearly to worship the sun. In the vast quiet of the evening, when the hush has fallen over the sage brush and the sun is a great ball of red fire sinking behind the mountains, the dreary beat of thelr tomtoms and the low, ghostly chant of thelr song can be heard for miles. The sound grows in strength as one approaches until with a great burst of glaring enmpfires and seeming confusion the camping grounds are reached. Indians in their “ative garb are everywhere, hideous in thelr war paints and with glistening nuked bodies. In the center of a corral made from limbs stands a pole. Back against the walls aré the dancers and the chant. ers, and In rhythm to the beat of the tomtoms the dancer advances to the pole, eyes uplifted In worship, The young bucks who dance are not permitted to eat or drink for three days and are accompanied by the tom- toms beaten by the squaws. The dance Is a religious rite and festival of thanks to the gods for bountiful crops and herbs, streams full of fish and the sky full of fowls, Now and then one falls to the ground unconscious from physical bx. haustion and is earried to the side to recover, J.
