BASKETS AND OLLAS
The Handiwork of the Pimas and
 Maricopas.

Now that the tourist season is ap- preaching there will be an increased interest in Indian pottery and baskets. Many questions will be asked and the local resident will answer them. Some will answer correctly and some will doubtless unwittingly tell things they think they know, but do not. Pro lessor McCIatchie of the experimental farm has always taken great interest in the custOms of the local Indian tribes and has familiarized himself with them by repeated visits to the res erVations.
 In a recent conversation he said that the MaricOpa Indians make no baskets and the Pimas make no pottery. Each recognizes it's own line or industry and though both baskets and pottery are us.i by both tribes they are secured by exchange.
 In the baskets, made by the Pimas, the circular part of the weave is made from the stems of the cat-tail or tule (Typha Angustifolia). They are split into quarters or eighths, as the texture of the basket demands. The visible or outer portions of the basket are the sp.ints that run vertically. The white ones are willow twigs, split after the bark has been removed, and l5he black splir5s With which the decorative fig ures are made are from the cortex or outer layer of the seed pods of the Martynia or unicorn plant locally known as devils claw
 An interesting thing that all are not aware of is the fact that the tule or cat-tail is also a food plant among the Indians. They snake the pollen or fluff off the head of the stalks which are the same as used in many parlors for dec oratiVe purposes, and boil it into a soup which, the Indians say, makes an excellent dish. Cai,-tail soup is. there fore, as popular with the red man as oxtail soup is with the white man.
 In the manufacture of pottery the Naricopas use three kinds of soil, two red and one white. Pottery made for cooking purposes is made Of one kind of red soil and that from which their best water ollas is made is another and more porous red soil. Pottery made in incongruous shapes to catch the dollar of the tourist may be either red or white.
 Their method of and the material for decorating the pottery has often been wondered at. The pigment comes from mesquite bark and the method is as follows: They gather the outer bark of the mesquite tree and steep it, getting a coffee-colored fluid. They then pass the pottery and the fluid over to the artist of the family who decOrates it with d splint or stick like a Chinese pen. The pottery is then piled up and covered over with pieces of tin or any thing convenient that will project it from contact with the flame and fire built over and around it till it is prop erly burned. The heat changes the color of the decorations from brown to black.

Roosevelt Tells of the Status of the
 Ice Trust.

Spring Station, Ky" Oct 14.-Gov- ernor Roosevelt was a guest on the farm of A. J. Alexander today. The short rest has been very beneficial. His voice has almost entirely lost it's huski- ness and he says now he feels as well as on the first day of the campaign. While here he gave out a letter to Don M. Dickinson in reply to one from that gentleman, declaring that as governor Of New York he had done all in his power for the suppression of the ice trust, and that the attorney-g general of New York is now proceeding against it under the law signed by Roosevelt; and that Bryan in chiding him with be- ing away from home talking about the ice trust instead of remaining at home and suppressing it. is insincere.

Pekin. Sept. 11.-(Special Correspon- dence of the Associated Press).-If Sir Robert Hart, proves true prophet there will be no serious trouble in China till the beginning of November. By that time numerous bands march ing from the south will have come to- gether and it is probable there will be at least one big battle with great loss to the Chinese before they realize the hopelessness of resistance.
 Prince Ching visited the foreign min isters on the sixth. At the British le- gation. which was first visited, he was received with extreme coldness by Sir Claud Mcdonald. At the German le- gation he was refused admission, be- ing informed that the representatives of his imperial majesty, the emperor of Germany were not receiving social calls at present from Chinese officials. At the Spanish legation, where the French minister also resides. owing to the destruction of his residence, the call lasted twelve minutes, and al the Austrian legation hardly so long. At the Russian legation over an hour was spent, after which Ching visited our Minister Conger, declaring to him he was ashamed to look him in the face, after the course of events in China but that personally he had done all in his power to prevent the catastrophe that had occurred. Seldom, if ever, in the history of the world, has city been more thoroughly footed and gutted than Pekin. Through the efforts of Generals Chaffee and Gaselee, the sacred city has been spared, but most members Of the embassies. and even the mission aries declare that as the property of merchants, bankers, pawnbrokers, and even the very poor have been footed and burned, it is not fair that the prop erty of those mainly responsible should be spared.
 Great quantities of silver shoes, which Were used as cash by Chinese. sell for less than half their value A Pekin hote proprietor, it is stated, has purchased silver worth $25O.OOO for less than $5O,O00. Some Of the most persis- tent loOters have been missionaries.

Another scheme was to rope a steer and run barbed wire through the tips of his ears and draw them close to- geUher. Still another was to run q barbed wire through the nose and then let a long piece drag on the ground. Other equally as brutal tricks were played. But the authorities finally To- cat5d the gang and several of them are now on their way to the peniten- tilry and no more trouble of this kind is looked for.
