INFANT PHENOMENON IN wEAvINs

The absent and much missed have

Ten other Navajoes are expected
from the reservation in the next few
days. among them being a boy of Ave
years, said to be quite expert at blan.
ket weaving. It would seem improba.

he can handle blankets OF other than

while the village Indians SO generally
neglected the art, tie Navajoes, a
nomadic tribe, took 1t up and carried
It to such perfection. This change in
Navajo habits is said TO be the conse.
quence OF band OF Navajoes having
stolen a flock OF sheep from the early
Mexican settlers OF the country.
Village life, with It's more sedentary
habits, tends to develop pottery max

Good Suggestion.

The experience OF the young couple
at Flagstaff who got lost and wander
ed over the mountains for twenty
four hours emphasizes the importance
OF erecting signs all over the south.
west imploring tourists and others to
stick to the Travelled roads. Travel
ing across trackless mountains and
deserts calls for the qualities OF a
hardened frontiersman. The frequen.
cy with which II is necessary to
chronicle the deatu or narrow escape

monotonous.

5000 WORK.
Ell PkSo IS INTERESTED
From III Paso Herald.

From El Paso Herald.
One OF the best things the territory
of New Mexico has done for long
time was the holding OF the recent ir-
rlgation convention at Albuquerque.
The attendance was not very large,
but much interest was at all times
manifested Ia the proceedings, and
those who attended were worthy rep
resentatives OF the territorys best
citizenship.
4 perusal OF the addresses deliver
ed at the convention, as printed In the
Albuquerque papers. shows that they
we're almost without exception OF a
very high order They we're not only
informing upon the general aspects
of the irrigation problem, but they
were adapted so close to the prob
lens OF this particular locality that
they take on n new interest and value
on that account. They were made,
for the most part, by men who have
taken leading parts in the actual work
o. experimenting and Investigating I'M
der conditions precisely similar to
must encounter.
The convention seems TO have been
run in n business way from the start.
There was no unseemly wrangling
/ over rules and Offices, but the meet
ing went ahead to do what II got to-
gether TO do Even the resolutions
which such an organization always
adopts as a meang Of concentrating
public thought. rather than with any
idea OF exercising direct influence on
Il legislation or government policy
called for but little discussion and no
important differences OF opinion. The
prime objects of the meeting. TO dis
seminate correct information and sti.
mulate popular interest concerning
the reclamation problem, were sue
cessfully and creditably achieved, and
the promoters Of the convention have
every reason TO feel prouu of their
work.
| II is to be hoped that the addresses
at Albuquerque will be printed In a
book and widely distributed. They
deserve II. and New Mexico would
gain by t.
The convention was perpetuated
| through permanent organization,
which every citizen of the territory
Is invited to join. II Is the intention
to hold annual conventions. and to
| have noted authorities make address
es on subjects of live local interest.
The whole scheme seems eminen.iy
practical, and Ia bound TO result in
better understanding OF the larger
problems on the part OF the people,
and a wider application In practicai
farming OF the results of the costly
experiments that the national and
state governments are conducting.
Notwithstanding the certainty that
the following suggestion will be mis-
understood and misapplied In some
quarters, the Herald ventures to ex.
press the hope that El Paso delegates
| without a vote II that is the wish
OF the majority-may be present at the
next territorial irrigation convention
| by invitation. There Is no community
In the territory that is more deeply in
terested In the reclamation OF the arid
lands OF this region than Is El Paso,
and there can be no reason why we
cannot all get together In this mat
ter. We are all In the same boat--or
would be II there were any water to
be had.
