DEAD CHIEF BURIED
WITH HONORS OF TRIBE
Weird Scenes Enacted at the Grave of Chief Bill
Teton Of the Bannock Indians -Tribesmen
and Whites Pay Tribute to Deceased.

the fact that McKane, as he spoke
mounted on his fathers grave
which adjoins the resting place sci,
ected for Chief Teton. The Indians
who spoke in eulogy of Teton ex,
pressed themselves as feeling like
little children now that the chief
was dead.
Chief Otter, father of McKane,
was the first Indian chief to die or
the reservation, which was selected
by Chief Tyhee, father of the pres.
ent Chief Pat Tyhee.
Chief Teton's age was estimated
by the Indians at from 70 to 9s
years, but the latter figure is re
garded as more probable. His
knowledge of Indian history, how
ever, established the fact that he
was very old man.
All of Teton's earthly possess
ions in the way of wearing apparel,
arms, clothing and bedding were
buried with him, one of the last
things to be placed in the grave be-
ing the old straw hat which Teton
wore last summer. His hands were
covered with rings, his arms band
ed with bracelets and his body
strewn with jewelry, much Of which
was the gift of tribesmen. The
coffin was virtually packed with ar
sicles having peculiar significance to
to the Indian. It was necessary for
two men to use their weight in
forcing the lid into position, so great
had been the bestowal of gifts upon
the dead chief.
After the coffin had been lower
into the grave and the rough box
covered, Indian bucks went to the
grave and carefully packed the bed
ding belonging to the dead chief
around the sides. The grave was
then filled and the mourners gather
ed around it in circle and sang a
death chant, closing the service.
Bolt after bolt of calico and
many presents were given to young
squaws by the relatives of Teton as
a part of the ceremony.
The rodeo or Christmas eelebra.
tion of the Indians was interrupted
by the death of the chief. It is
planned to resume the celebration
next Tuesday, on the Portneuf riv-
er bottoms, east of the present Fort
Hall. White people are especially
invited to attend, and it is stated,
the feature of the closing of the fes
tivities will be the re-enactment Of
scenes prominent in the life of Chiei
Teton.

WILL Be
SUpERHEATED
tcopyriKhLl

Superheaters will be installed up
on all engines of the Oregon Short
Line railroad which are in first class
condition, and by doing so the rail-
road says it expects to save almost
$140,0 600 year in the cost Of fuel.
At the same time dense black smoke
will be eliminated to a great extent,
says the Herald-Republican.
The coal bill for the o. s. L.
amounted to $725, 900 approximate
" in 1913, and by the use of super
heaters the elimination of black
smoke and by careful firing it is es-
timated that Is to 20 percent of
this amount can be saved, and at
the same time obtain a higher effic-
iency from the fuel and develop q
greater tractive power in the loco
motives. The @. S. L. has specified
superheaters for all of its new loco
motives and as fast as the engines
already in yard and road service are
sent to the shops for repairs super
heaters will be installed in them.
The Short Line has 337 engines
now in service.
The superheater is designed to
give greater efficiency to a loco
motive in the amount of fuel con-
sumed. In the ordinary locomotive
boilers the fiues are 1-2 inches in
diameter, and it is estimated that
there are about 1000 of them. The
superheater is installed with the
| fiues. A system of pipes forms the
superheater and these run thru the
flues of the boiler. When the steam
is heated to its highest point in the
boiler, instead of passing into the
cylinders directly it passes thru the
superheater pipes. The steam in
passing thru the pipes is subjected
to the direct heat from the firebox,
and when turned into the cylinder
is dry steam with little condensa-
, ton.
The installation of superheaters
will cost about $500 for each loco.
motive. The total cost of equippinq
the 200 engines Of the Short Line
with superheaters is estimated al
! 1860, 900 but as the saving of fue

MONTPELIER NOW
HAS BRASS BAND

The Examiner is pleased to an
nounce that Montpelier again has a
brass band, and we hope that the
organization will receive sufficient
financial and moral support from the
business men and citizens generally
to warrant the members devoting
enough time to it to make the band
a success.
The organization of the band was
perfected last Sunday afternoon by
the election of the following officers:
Manager Charlie King.
Leader Jesse Dunn.
: Assistant Leader Earl Rich.
Secretary L. w. Tozier.
Treasnrer-Harold Toomer.
The Instrumentation of the band
is as follows:
Clarinet Jesse Dunn.
Comets Earl Rich and Jesse
Green.
Altos Harry Hull and A. Ham
mond.
Trombones-H Harold Toomer and
L. w. Tozier.
Baritone R. Groo.
Bass-R. Hammond.
Snare drum Charlie King.
Bass drum VIM. Cozzens.
Frequent rehearsals will be held
and in a short time the band will
make its debut by giving a concert
on the streets.
1t requires money to keep brass
band agoing, the same as it does
any business enterprise, and If the
members of a band are willing U
devote their time. as well a. a Ger
tain amount of money, to make it q
success, surely the business men oi
city should be willing to lend
reasonable sums to a band. II
many cities, even as small as Mont
pelier, the business men contribute
a fixed amount each month to /
band. In return the bands givs
weekly concerts drring the summer
months and frequently donate theil
services to the cities, when SONS
special doins' is going on.
If every business firm in Mont
pelier would contribute the smal
sum Of + a month 70 the band dur
ing the present year, It would b
money well spent, and in return 70
such support we would soon have
band, Of which every citizen W6Hlt
be proud. Such support would als
insure weekly band concerts d
Main street at least one evening g
cry week during the coming sun
mer.
Let's all boost for band.
