Great Representative John J. Bryan,
a member of Manzanita Tribe of the
parent order and of Manzanita Council
of the Degree of Pocahontas, is one of
the few men whose love for the two
branches of the order and ambition to
see each advance has won him a host
of friends. He is specially noted for the
logical and forcible manner in which
he presents matters for the good of the
organization to either branch. At the
recent session of the Great Council of
the United States, to which he was a
representative for the first time, he
gave the people on the other side of the
Rockies evidence that he is a worker
and that at the next session of that
body he will make a mark that will be
creditable to the order and to the reser-

Much of the success this council is now
enjoying is due to the energetic and
untiring work of the Pocahontas, Mrs
Lorena O'Neil, and her example has
inspired the other chiefs to renewed
efforts for the advancement of the or
ganization. Miss Mae B. Griffith, the
very popular and painstaking deputy
has had her merit recognized by the
Great Council. being reappointed as
deputy for the third term of twelve
moons. She was the organizer of the
council and first and only deputy up
to date.
The masquerade ball given in Native

costumes in line when the grand march
was started.
