Calumet Council of the Desg Pocahontas, organized by Dr. M. Troppmann of Calumet Tribe, was instituted last week in the Red Men's building with 4 charter membership of 27, the largest number with which a council in this reservation has been in- stituted. The institution wag by the great Pocahontas, a ed by the other great chiefs. The work of adopting the palefaces was by the team of Manzan- ita Councii and, while the team did not have the electrical effects and other ac- cessories used in its own tepee, the ork was letter perfect and what was lost by the inability to introduce the side features was made up by the in- troduction of additional floor work, in- troduced by Drill Master George Wheeler. During the evening Organizer Troppmann, commenting on the work of the team of which Mrs. Emma Rice is the Pocahontas, said: “I had heard a great deal about the beautiful work by Manzanita's team, but was under the impression that it was more talk than reality, but after what I have seen to-night I must say that I take off my hat to the members of the team and if they did not create a most profound impression on the memberg of Calumet Council, I must say that such members are not im- pressionable. My only hope is that the team we shall organize in this council, Calumet, may be dble to dd as well as has done Manzanita's team, better no team can do. In the name of the baby council, I thank Manzanita’s team for its assistance and good work and add my mite to all the good things that have been said about Manzanita.” The adoption was followed by the election of the chiefs who are to con- trol the council. Mrs. Emma D, Ralph, a well known member of Keith Parlor of the Native Daughters, was elected Pocahontas; Miss Maybell Troppmann ‘wag elected prophetess, and Alice Gray keeper of records. These and the other elected and appointed chiefs were then installed, after which there was the presentation of a miniature “grand- father” clock to the great Pocahontas and one to the great Minnehaha for the interest they took in the organization of the council. A case of fine writing paper was presented te the great prophetess, Minnie Betts, and a gold- mounted fountain pen to Mrs. F. E. Coots, the keeper of wampum of the ' council, for the preliminary work she had done in the organization of the new subordinate. One of the most active members of Pocahontas Council of the Degree of Pocahontas is Mrs. Lizzie Kemnitzer, the Pocahontas, who, since she has filled her station has not only used her best endeavor to advance the interest of the council, but has done much to bring the standard of the adoption team tc the highest standard possible. She expects before the close of her term to attain that possibility.
