AN INDIAN POW WOW

To Follow Street Parade of Far Eas,
Show Tomorrow.
The various tribes of Indians with
the Young Buffalo Wild West and Col
Cummins Far East and Vernon c.
Seavers Hippodrome are full of ex,
element and anticipation OF the
grand pow-wow that they intend to
give at Mrs. Annie Morgans resi-
dence at Bennington, VT. At this
historical old place were once the
military headquarters of Gen George
Washington whom the Indians term
the Great White Father. 1t is
filed with Washington heirlooms

Upon learning that the show in
tended to exhibit at Bennington on
June the 4th, delegation of Indians
headed by Chief Bald Eagle and
Chief Red Star who by the way
wears a Washington medel that was
given to his Great Great Grandfather
as peace token by Gen. George
Washington at that time President
OF the United States, which mede.
the old Chief prizes as highly as he
does his life, called on Col Cummins
to know If they could arrange Pow.
WOW, dance and feast in commera-
ton of their departed Great White
Father which request was granted
and Bennington people will have an
opportunity of witnessing a celebra-
ton given by the Real Americans.
and no doubt this will be the last
opportunity an event of this kind
viii ever be seen, as the real Blanket
Indians are so rapidly becoming
thing of the past and perhaps never
again will they be seen in their Trib-
al ceremonies.
The Pow-wow will take place i'm
mediately on the return of the par
ade to the show grounds as the resi-
dence of Mrs. Annie Morgan is To-
Gated there.

From the above you can appreciate
that you have no money on the basis
of present income for permanent i'm
provements, and our thought is that
in order to put the Village affairs in
better shape il would be advisable to
issue bonds making same payable in
1925 with a recommendation that
they be issued gradually; that is, not
over four thousand the first year.
three thousand the second, and three
thousand the third, and that ~"
proceeds be expended on basis "a
not over sixty per cent for the roads,
the balance to be used for cross
walks. sidewalks, and other public
improvements.
If this proposal meets with the
approval of the voters, and we
think it should, as a large majority
of the tax payers have already Civ
en- their consent, we hope that such
approval will be practically unani-
nous, so that whatever action is
taken will be one on which all par
ties will be in accord,

TO VOTERS OF OLD BENNINGTON
Special Village Meeting Called for
Next Monday Evening.

The undersigned, constituting your
present board of trustees after con
sultation with many of the taxpayers
and with the approval and consent
of more than two-thirds of the
amount of the total tax paid, applied
to the Legislature of the state OF
Vermont at it's last session for the
privilege of issuing not more than
ten thousand dollars in bonds, the
proceeds of the sale of such bonds
to be used for roads, sidewalks,
crosswalks and general betterment
of the Village.
The Legislature has given its ap-
proval to such issue (See Bill No.
300 approved by Governor Fletcher
under date of January DIST, 1913.
We have therefore called a meet
ing of the legal voters at the Old
Academy on the evening of June 9th,
1913. at s o'clock to submit this pro-
position to them. In this connection
the question might very properly be
raised as to what disposition is made
of the funds collected from tax at
the present time which amount to
seventeen hundred ninety-two dollars
thirty-three cents ($1792.33) on the
general fund, and five hundred sixty
nine dollars fifty-three cents (S569.

The following items as to expendi-
lures under these two funds explain
