INDIAN CURIO FAD
It Has Reached the East and
Creates a Demand for In as
-. dian Ware.
RARITY OF CURIOSC COMPARED
The Indian Arts Will Soon Be Lost Arts
An Indian Collection to Be of
Scientific Value Is Very
Expensive.

Now it's the Indian. Awhile ago it
was the Oriental, then it was the Jap
anese-now it is the Indian.
The east has gone mac over him. New
York has made him the latest social ia
vorite. Every house on Fifth Ven
has an Indian room or an Indian corner
or an Indian den. Sometimes they have
whole Indian Railways.
Everywhere you go you see Indian
pictures, Indian blankets, Indian bas-
kets, Indian pottery, Indian tomahawks
Indian everything from moccasins to
wal bonnets.
Mexico as health resorts was in a meas
ure responsible for this, but, for the
most part, it was simply the natural
outcome of the distribution of Indian
pictures. The people had the pictures,
md they wanted curios to go with them.
And then came the day of the collec-
tor. The people wanted dens.
And they got them from $50 up into
the thousands. The fad grew until there
vas no fad but the Indian fad.
Well! If people must have fads, the
Indian fad is just about as good a one
as they could pick out at the present
time, and by far the most profitable.
Do you know that an Indian collection
that would cost you $10O to-day will
probably bring you $500 three years
from now? Indian curios are growing
rarer with alarming rapidity, and it is
! beginning to be almost impossible ia
| get genuine Indian relics of any kind.
In the first place, as everybody knows,
the Indians are dying out. In the second
| place, they have learned the arts of civ
ilization. In the third place, they can
find more remunerative employment at
other things.
Tt doesn't pay the Indian to pursue his
ancient arts any longer. If he is going
10 make a buckskin suit he has to buy
his buckskins at SIS a skin and beads al
81 a pound, and he can't sell it for what
it costs him, though in addition tt the
actual outlay it requires months tc
make it.
An Indian will not spend weeks gath
ering young willows along the streams
in the spring and weeks more in hunt.
ing for the tiny strip of dye in the soar
root, and weeks more in tinting anG
braiding his basket, which he will sell
for 81, when he can make $3.50 in a sin
| gle day as a laborer.
The Indian girls have learned the use
Of the sewing machine, and they have
found it is easier to use thread than sin.
ew to sew with. Velveteen is cheaper
than buckskin, and they have learned
, to use conventional American designs
Instead Of the ancient Indian symbols
every one of which was fraught with
meaning as deep and as significant to
them as print is to us.
The Indian arts will soon be lost arts
and the mar who has a genuine collec,
ton of Indian curios will in a few years
own something very well worth having
There are just two ways to make ar
Indian collection. One is to consider

Not Gratitude But Success.

Political parties are actuated not by
gratitude, but by the hope of success,
and so it comes that not always the
most deserving men nor the best men
are nominated by their parties, but al
ways the men who have the best chance
for success. In Democratic ayes Col,
w. j. Bryan has the best chance for
success in the November election, al
though most of them admit that this
chance is very slim. There are older
leaders and better leaders in the Demo-
cratic party who are more deserving OF
the nomination for president, but they
have been pushed in the background by
Colonel Bryan, who, on account of his
youth, personal magnetism and elo-
quence, has the best chance to achieve
success in a battle which at the present
time seems a hopeless me-.

Practice and Theory,

The practical miner often processes a
disdain for the theorist and for theoret-
ical knowledge of mineralogy and geol-
ogy. OF late, however, there is a COM
ing together and a growing feeling of
kindness between the miner and the
geologi. :, though many miners are still
apt to affect contempt for the g%eologist,
his methods, his opinions and his work.
The theoretical knowledge of the geolo-
gist, as well as his practical expert
mental work, are now recognized to be
of great value to the prospector looking
for ore, while on the other hand the
practical discoveries of the prospectol
and the miner at work have been OF
great aid to the g%eologist in studying
his science. Nowadays the successful
%prospector is a geologist to more or less
extent, and a good geologist would al
any time make a good miner or pros
pector.

When Paderewski reached Sacrament
to in his transcontinental tour he found
that only 1923 seats had been sold for his
performance. He promptly Cancelled his
engagement, and was considerably cha
grined when he discovered later that a
minstrel show held the same evening at
Sacramento had drawn a crowd of 1000
people. This may be a sad reflection or
the aesthetic taste of people in the Cal
ifornia capital, but it is true to human
nature. Among the thousands who have
waxed enthusiastic over Paderewski's
playing, there are very few who
wouldn't have applauded just as loudly
at a good minstrel performance. Even
aesthetic people like a little nonsense
now and then.

Not Siqhina But Doing.

The Pennington Times signs for pros
pectors to open up it's mineral wealth,
for settlers to take up the fertile lands
In San Juan county, for capitalists to
build railroads along which Farming
ton Is to be the principal station, and
for philanthropists to erect sa%nitariums
On the sunny mesas and the sandy hills
Of northern New Mexico. And those
signs find echoes in every county of the
territory. Signs, however, win not bring
those desirable things. 1t takes work
push, advertising, some ~self-sacriflce
and any amount of public spirit. Let
the people of New Mexico do on a small
scale what they expect others to do for
them; let them prove their faith in their
own glorious country by investing their
capital in local enterprise, and then all
those other things they sigh for will
come as surely as day follows the night.

Il BROUGHT Good Results.

A small town in Iowa hired a good at
torney, whose special work it was to see
to it that every man was properly as
sessed. 1t caused some opposition
among men Of means who We're habit
ual tax dodgers, and there were some
threats of appealing to the higher
courts, but nevertheless the plan sue
ceeded, for when the board of equaliza-
ton adjourned the other day 1t was
found that the taxable valuation of that
little town had been increased just $780,
900. or more than 100 per cent. This re-
suited in cutting the prevailing high
tax rate just in two, and no one is pay
ing higher taxes than before, and the
town enjoys the reputation of being
much weather. than it had been
thought to be, and of having a much
lower tax rate than other towns in the
same state. Something of that sort
might work in New Mexico.

A Good Appointment.

In the appointment of Assistant Sec
rotary of the Navy Allen as civil gov
ernor of Porto Rico President McKin-
ley has made an appointment with
which even the Democrats have no
been able to find any fault. 1t shows
thai President Mckinley has a thor
ough knowledge of men and a good
grasp of events. Mr.. Allen has suffi-
GENTLY demonstrated that he is just the
man for the place. His character is
above reproach, he has possession o.
the true American idea of the presen'
time and situation, and that persona
| force and integrity which beget the re
spect of those who are near him and the
confidence of all with whom he has t.
| deal. He has the good and forcefu
qualities of a Roosevelt, with diplomac.
| and suavity of added thereto

A Good Scheme.

A colossal scheme by the western
railroads to fill up the LAM along their
lines with settlers has assumed definite
form. The railroads which center at
Chicago and have lines to the far west
have taken up internal improvement
plans on a grand scale. The territory
included lies between the great lakes
and the Rocky mountains, and the
scheme will involve the expenditure of
the present population from immigra-
ton alone of at least 200, 900 souls with
in the next eighteen months. The new
towns that are to appear on the maps
of the west within the next year., or
those to which from 500 to 600 new pop
ulation is to be added, already number
coed 200. Areas neglected in the past
while trunk lines We're building are re-
ceiving the closest attention from rail-
road land commissioners and traffic
managers. The Santa Fe railroad is
taking a lead in the movement, and un-
doubtedly New Mexico will receive its
share of attention in the great scheme
of the railroads. This plan seems a very
practical one, for it will meet with the
cooperation of all state and territorial
as well as the local authorities, ant
| while it will help the sections through
| which the railroads pass, it will alst
help to increase the revenue of the rail
roads, besides paying good interest OF
the original investment.

Brazil fears that Germany intends tc
gobble up the greater part of it's terri
tory. German immigrants subsidized by
the state are landing by the thousands
al Para, Pernambuco and Rio Janeiro
and make for the interior. where they
are founding n German colony after
the other. The infusion of German
blood will not hurt the Br%azilians, and
this consolation remains to Brazil that
before Germany annexes Brazil it will
that that will be a very, very tough jol

A Crusade For Corn.

Indian corn was not popular in Eu-
rope until a few years ago and then it
was thought to be good only for horse
fodder. But an American named Muir
ply has been engaged for almost a dec
ade acting as missionary in Europe in
behalf of Indian corr as human food.
For a part of that time he was a special
agent of the department of agriculture.
He has been taking corn meal to all the
European nations with a vigor and en-
thusiasm deserving of a rich reward.
He says that owing to his missionary
labors 1000, 900 bushels of corn are 10Y
yearly exported to Europe as against
1900 bushels when he began his work.
To be sure, it will fill the hearts of pro-
hibitionists with sorrow and consterna-
ton to know that most of this corn is
turned into gin, but that does not
change the fact that the corn is sold
and is used for human consumption.
Undoubtedly it would be good for
American pocketbooks if foreign coun-
tries could be taught to eat some of the
national dishes, for this would stimu-
late the demand for the materials from
which they are c%oncocted. The farmer
benefit from this. But the ~tenacity with
which the German clings to his nation
al dishes, the Italian to his macaroni,
and other nations to their favorite
l foods avian aftar thay houa caft1n1 in
this country, seems to prove that there
Is something in those edibles which
suits the stomachs and the constitu-
tions of those who eat them. 1t should
be understood that the climate and the
customs of a place determine, to a great
| extent, the food which is eaten there.
| The Eskimo likes his blubber, while the
Fiji islander prefers a vegetable diet.
The American, with his active habits,
invigorating air and comprehensive
taste, seems to be able to assimilate al
most anything in the way of food, and
certainly some articles of his diet would
give dyspepsia to a Patagonian, who
does not shy at a dose of glass or iron.
This is one reason why corn meal is not
a favorite in Europe, not a favorite in
many sections of the United States. 1t
would not be a bad idea to start a cru
SADIE in favor of corn and it's products
in many parts of this country, where it
is comparatively unknown. for al
though many tempting dishes are made
| Of 1t in southern states, in the north and
in the west it's use in culinary prepara-
tons is very limited.

To those accustomed to New Mexico
weather, two weeks of cloudy, rainy,
snowy, slushy weather is a hardship al
most unbearable. But then it must be
remembered the precipitation of the
past two weeks was a godsend to every
section of the territory, and will insure
good crops, good ranges, sleek cattle
and plenty of fruit this year. Brighter
days will come again, and old Sol has
a good many weeks to spare in which te
get in his work for New Mexico.
