SODA TOM WILL BE
THE NEXT CHIEF

The Piute Indians down in Inyo
county are doing politics regarding
a successor to Captain Johnnie Kay,
former acting chief of that tribe
who died in Reno several weeks ago
from pneumonia.
Soda Tom, a brother of Captain
Johnnie, is next in line for the
chieftain honor, and his friends in
sist that he be nominated at the
next pow-wow, which is to be held
at Benton, Cal. Soda Tom is de-
scribed as being an intelligent In
dian, being able to read and write
in the English language. As the
office carries no per diem, the hon
ors consisting chiefly of the right
of the chief to borrow money from
his subjects, there is but little doubt
that the royal descendant will Sc
cure the election.

In reply to Mr.. Gompers, who
said the district attorney was i'm

"GOmpers insists his position is

Because | was quoted as saying in

this jurisdiction. He may be as
sured of the fact that the United

will not consider it necessary to
go to Washington to obtain Com
persi views. The prosecuting at
Itorney of Marion county can, if he
will inform the people just what

Prof. Yoder, they become so i'm

the many beautiful, historical spots
depicted in this trip from New York
to Europe and the Orient.
The proceeds of this rare treat,
for only twenty-five cents, given
under the direction of the Tonopah
school teachers, are to be used for
the purpose Of buying more slides
for our new stereOpticon. The stu
dents of the high school purchased
the machine, and through such en-
tertainments as these we hope to
be able to buy, from time to time,
slides upon such geographical sub
jects as raising of cotton, rice in
dustry and manufacture of paper;
besides value historical and physi-
illogical slides. These will material
ly aid the teachers in all the grades
in the instruction of your boys and
girls.
The price of admission is small;
the cause a good one: the enter
tainment, both pleasurable and in
structive; so be sure you come and
urge your friends to ccme for, by
SO doing you will be greatly aiding
us in procuring these slides, so
beneficial for the education of the
boys and girls in our public school.
