In common with other Indian tribes
of the Pacific coast, the Yosemites are
great users of baskets, which the older
women still make, employing native
plants of the valley for material. To
the housewife Of civilization one of the
most interesting Is the cooking bask-
ct for to her cooking in a basket
seems good deal of mystery. The
process, however, Is very simple. A
large bowl-shaped basket woven SO ex-
ceedingly close as to be practically
water tight Is used, into which corn
meal mixed with water is placed.
Stones are then heated in neighbor-
Ing fire and placed in the mushy mass
In the basket by means of curious i'm
plements made of oak sprouts bent
around so as to form loop at the end
of long handle, resembling a wooden
spoon with the center of the bowl
gone. AS the stones cool they are
taken out with the same spoons" and
fresh hot ones put In. and soon until
the mush is cooked.
Another form of basket which the
Yosemites make-and one which is
said to be made by no other tribe-is
the odd one. 1t is constructed of viii
low withes, woven loosely together,
and Is used somewhat as a cOllender
IN the manufacture of sort of cider
from the berries of the manzanita-
a common shrub Of the Pacific coast
related to the cranberry and the hucl,-
leberry. The unique feature of this
kind of basket Is the upright handle
set at one end, which makes it USE
full also for gathering wild seeds, one
hand grasping the handle, while the
other beats the seeds into the sheet
shaped tray
Quite as interesting are the conical
burden basket. which are carried upon
the back, and are held in place by a
muslin band passing across the car
rier's chest or forehead and around
the basket. In this way burdens as
heavy as 200 pounds are sometimes
carried. But of all the Yosemite bas-
kets, the palm for charm is perhaps
due to the baby basket, fiat upon
whose yellow framework the patient
papoose is bound and so carried upon
his mothers strong back, his little
black head shaded beneath graceful
canopy supported by side pieces, also
of willow. In the Yosemite tongue
this canopy has special name,
"chokoni.' and by the same name the
Indians call the wonderful Royal
Arches" sculptured by nature on the
valleys north wall, because they re-
semble the canopied tops of colossal

into the chair the customer with the

THE truth of the things is that the
great majority of BARRIERS cut hair the
way they want to do it, not according
to the instructions given them about
the job by the owners of the hair. The

Orders were first issued for 1000
marines from the various stations
along the Atlantic coast to proceed
to Cuba, but following dispatches
from Secretary Taft Indicating that he
has little hope of an amiable settle
ment of the troubles in Cuba. 500 adj
ditional marines from the North At

pare for Cuban service.
In addition to the marines there
Will be 1000 more blue Jackets sent

marines in Cuba and over 5000 blue
Jackets, when the vessels sailing this
week arrive in Havana. the United
States will be ready to land force
of more than 1000 on Cuban soil.
The American warships which will
sail today will be the cruiser Brook
Ign, now at League Island navy yard,
which is being repaired hastily at
the Norfolk navy yard and the con-
verified cruiser Prairie, which is at

general staff of the army and several
other army officers connected with

with Admiral Converse and other
prominent officers in the navy depart
ment. So far the preparations for
trouble which may come about in
Cuba have been largely carried on by
the navy, but now more than any pre-

Captain Alfred T. Mahan, the noted
authority on naval matters, was born
in West Point. N. Y, Sept. q. 1910.
After serving in the United States
navy for forty years, he retired in
1896 to devote himself to literary
work During the civil war Captain
Mahan was in the south Atlantic and
western gulf squadrons and did good
service. In 1883 he went to the Paci-
fic ocean in command of the Wa
chusett. In 1855 he was made presi-
dent OF the naval war college and held
that position until 1899. and again
from 1892 to 1893. 1t was in this posi-
ton that he developed the study of
naval strategy. in which he became
exceptionally proficient, so much SO
that his writings became famous over
all the world. Captain Mahan was
delegate to The Hague peace confer
ence. In recent years he has had
honorary degrees showered upon him
by English, Canadian and American
universities.

INDIANS OF THE YOSEMITE.

In the Yosemite valley, once the
home OF numerous tribe of Indians,
score or so of the descendants of
the original tribe still linger; and from
old Dick and Francisco, patriarchs of
the band, down to little Virgil and
Christian, just off their mothers back,
they are we'll worth getting acquainted
with. They are kindly, simple hearted
folk, and though disposed to be shy
and most sensitive to anything like
ridicule, are very hospitable to the
sympathetic caller, with whom they
will gossip and laugh like merry chill
dren. Their presence in the valley is
only permitted on their promise, long
since given and faithfully kept, that
they should be self-supporting. There
Is abundant opportunity for them by
day labor to earn a livelihood; besides
which, they have some ways of their
own of adding to their income.
The men are expert catchers of
trout. for which there is a steady de-
mand from the hotel and camps, and it
is common saying that an Indian
can catch a fish where nobody else
can. In old times one of their favorite
methods of fishing was to gather
number of bulbs of plant Of the lily
family common in California ami
known as soap root; crush them and
introduce the resultant soapy mass
into the waters of the stream. The
essential principle of the plant ex-
ercises narcotic effect upon the fish,
which, becoming stupefied, would rise
to the surface and float there helpless
ly, while the willy redmen would SCOOP
them up in baskets. The law now for
bids such methods, and so the Indian
angles with hook and line like his
white brother, batting with worms.
The latter are carried in an odd little
bait basket, which is made of wisp
of grass tied about the middle and
then turned back on itself and bound
again about the neck The worms ar:

A GREAsER's EPITApH.
Gen. kearney's Tribute to Half.breed
Servant.
Here lies the bones of Sancho Pedro
tho only damn decent Greaser
ever knew
Killed by Apache Indians, 1916.

Gen. S. w. n, U. S. A.
The letters had been burned into the
pine slab with the corner of branding
iron. The dry climate had kept the
wood preserved and there was no in
dication that it had stood for more
than few years, except for the date
below the epitaph.
A few bullets, tributes of cowboys
who doubted that greaser could be
good even when dead, had splintered
the sides of the slab.
1t was an unsual epitaph. The fine
slab stood in a sandhill far off from
the Pecos river up near the foothills
in New Mexico. The epitaph was un-
usual because it spoke we'll of Mexi-
can halfbreed. You might travel for
days in New Mexico and Arizona and
md neither on wood nor store or the
lips of white man such flattery as
that "a greaser was decent"
Sancho Pedro must have been an
unusual halfbreed to acquire the
friendship of a general. The slab was
found half buried in sand dune by a
Mexican grading crew on the Santa
re railroad when they ran their line
down the Pecos valley in the early
JUS. Sancho's countrymen were dis
turbed by no niceties of sentiment
when they ran on to the grave. They
spit the headpiece into paddles with
which to clean their shovels and crap-
ers. They went down deeper and
found the bones of man and high
heeled Spanish boots. An iron cruii-
nix and chain incrusted with rust was
taken from around tho nacl. hy nm
indian boy, who was carrying water
for the men.
When he went back to Santa Fe he
showed the crucifiX to the grandfather,
an old Navajo Indian, who had been
with General Stephen w. Kearney.
The Old man in broken English and
between many lapses of silence and
puffs from a pipe told of Sancho Pc
dro. He was a hostler for General
kearny, the old man said. He served
the general for years and was killed
Ill a skirmish with Apache Indians
down in the Pecos valley. near the
foothills. in 1S46. The general order
ed that he should have decent burial
and burned the epitaph with his own
hands on pine slab with an old
Spanish branding iron.
The railroad desecrated Sancho's
grave and threw his bones to whiten
and waste away on the sands. His
story would never have been known
except for the crucifiX the Indian boy
took from his neck and kept. He liked
to show and repeat the story his
grandfather told him of Sancho Pedro
and the epitaph written by General
kearny.

Redwood forests are practically I'M

the trees and peel the bark from them
and when the dry season is on set fire
to the felled timber and burn the
branches and bark and other wreckage
without practical injury to the saw
logs, which procedure would mean dis

contains no resin or turpentine of any
kind, and, sX7ing to it's great resistant
qualities in severe climatic conditions,
is free from cracking or decay, where
cinders might lodge and start fires.
