NTeAI4M\ 1874 held a smoker and

I re-; \ in their wigwam in Vic
torio hall, 1864 South
lIE& Spring street, last Mon
w day. They reported that
the sleep had been
HkM passed very pleasantly.
Mojave tribe No. 124 held a powwow
around their council fire in their wig
wan at S141s South Main street. on the
sleep of the fifth sun and the chiefs
report that runners had brought news
of several palefaces who were seeking
adoption into the tribe. All the chiefs
seem to be able to follow the hunt and
the wampum belt is in healthy con-
dition.
Some sixty CHIEFS chartered a Pa
cific Electric car on last Monday even
ing and sojourned to Pasadena, where
they were the guests of Tamma1i tribe
No. 131. Several palefaces were given
the adoption degree, which was very
impressive, the teams from Tehachapi
and Mojave tribes putting on the work
1t is very seldom that one sees such
beautiful and ever pressing work as
this, something that is rarely forgotten
by the candidate, though he may live
for many years. A banquet and
smoker followed. The Los Angeles
Redmen certainly were delighted at the
treatment that had been accorded them
by the Pasadena tribe, and will not
hesitate to accept another invitation If
the opportunity presents itself or is
given.
Manitou council No. As, Degree of
Pocahontas, auxiliary to the I. 0. r.
NJ, will go to Pasadena and institute
a new council on February &c. Mrs.
Emma Somner, great Pocahontas, of
Fresno, will have charge of the
ceremony. There will be a large num-
her of chiefs that will follow the trail
and attend this function, and it is ear
nestly requested that all members of
Manitou will try and attend, as this
will be something out of the ordinary
The institution will take place in STAN
ton hall, corner of Colorado and Ray
nIond avenues.
The Redmen are having their big
powwow and council of war on the
third floor of Wonderland. They have
q typical Indian village and every night
until February 10 you can see them III
all their glory as they appear around
the council brand, holding their councils
dancing the ghost, snake and war
dances. There are also fancy and
charming Indian maidens in their
buckskin and beaded costumes, the In
dian chief, his warriors and the braves
bedecked in all their glory of paint
and feathers. There are for sale old In
dian relics. souvenirs, trinkets and
some good things to eat, and you can
dance to your hearts content all
through the hospitality of the Redmen.
The Redmen will close their exhibition
with an elaborate masquerade ball.
All are invited to attend. This will be
the closing feature of what has been
termed a great success of a fraternai
organization giving a unique exhi-
hilton and display to the curious pub
lie, and there have been many pale
faces added to the tribes by this novel
process.
On Thursday night at prompt IL
o'clock the tribes will adopt Prince
Nickoli into the mysteries of Redman-
ship. The work will be put on in
proper form and will be open to mem
bers in good standing only. This will
be treat in itself, for as the prince
weighs only sixteen and half pounds
and is only knee high to a duck, he will
be the smallest and lightest Redman
in the world. The prince is a smart
chap, as we'll as a globe trotter; is 80
years of age and quite witty. If you
can manage 1t you had better be on
hand to see this event, as the oppor-
tunity is presented only once in a life
time and you may regret that you
missed it.
