The best blankets now come from the

The blankets are woven from their own
designs, and no two OF them are ever
alike, because the women, sitting on the
ground before their crude looms, weave
into their blankets the pictures in their
minds at that time.
They are used for rugs, couch covers,

have in our own home Navajo blankets

few years will probably see genuine In

Few important real estate deals were
consummated during the last week and
the record for Guinness OF the previous
week was almost surpassed, but the out
Lfok is exceedingly hopeful for reJuve-
tflted activity, ana many important deals
are now in a period Of incubation.
one Of the most notable features OF the
trade was the opening Of several large
acreage tracts IN the city which have
been held and kept intact through the
many years Of the development Of the
city. These tracts were part Of estates or
sites bought many years ago for invest
ment, the realization upon which will I'M
doubtedly accrue to the material beneit Of
the owners.
The largest tract was that OF nine acres
at the northwest corner Of Twenty fourth
and Lake streets. which is known as the
b. estead Of the late Matthewson T. Pat
and IL owned by his widow, Mrs.
.-trza Burdette Patrick The tract has
been held for thirty-fve years, but Is now

Action was taken at the last weekly
meeting Of the Real Estate exchange to
indefinitely postpone the proposed banquet
to be given by the exchange TO F. d.
Wead, w. G. IRE and Charles F. Harrison
as a token Of the appreciation of the ex-
change for the valiant services performed
by them as a committee in pushing the
passage of the terminal tax bill. While
the services Of the members are duly APP
prociated 1t was thought inadvisable to
hold the banquet for many reasons, chief
among which was that the banquet season
has passed and members are too busy at
present taking in commissions to engage
extensively In social pastimes The COM
mittee labored long and earnestly to have
their efforts crowned with success by the
passage OF the bill, but the banquet propo-
sition was deemed to be ill-timed, the mo-
ton for its postponement being supported
by one of the members Of the committee,
Mr. Harrison.

Improvements at the Patrick estate on the
West Dodge street road for occupancy by
the Happy Hollow Country club, which
bought the three buildings and several
acres for $4,000 a short time ago, are being
pushed with all possible haste in the hope
of having an early opening OF the new
outdoor club. Tom Bendalow, who is con-
nected with Spalding & Co. at Chicago,
arrived during the week for the purpose
Of laying out the golf course. Mr.. Benda-
low is an expert In his line, having laid out
over 400 courses, and is planning a full
course of eighteen holes at the new coun-
try club. The course will be about 800
yards in length and will be one of the
finest In the west there being necessity
for but few artificial hazards.

Their DWELLINGS.

These differ from the light skin or cloth
topees with which most Of our people are
familiar They are usually built of stone
or adobe (sun dried briclI), daubed with
mud instead Of plaster. They are usually
from ten TO eighteen feet in diameter and
are always round.
When the walls have been built about
four feet high they begin the roof by grad
ually drawing IN, usually using poles, and
building up until the opening is only hve
or six feet across. This is left open, sum-
mer and winter The fire Is always built
in the exact center and the smoke es-
capes through this large opening.
With this amount Of ventilation Offensive
doors cannot gather, as in other forms Of
Indian dwellings
They are exceedingly bright and clever
in some ways They believe that all sick
ness is caused by evil spirits, and their
priests, who are also their medicine men,
always seek to locate the evil spirit, which
may have assumed one OF many forms.
Sometimes they profess 10 draw out a
mouse or rat from the mouth OF the pa
tient. or an angle worm from an arm or
leg. At other times the evil spirit does
not have bodily form, but whatever the
form. there must be three days dance
and a great feast given TO all the people,
and usually the medicine man fixes his
bin al exactly the number OF sheep, goats,
cattle and ponies which he knows the
