Though numerous attempts were made to learn of its precise location, the half breed succeeded in keeping it a secret and he always managed -to throw off all parties who tried to fol low him when he left for the hills
 Vargas at last succeeded in gaining his confidence and one day when the half breed left Wickenburg he was accompanied by Vargas. The half breed was never afterward seen alive Vargas returned to Wickenburg in the course of time. Nothing was thought of the half breed, for though his visits had been frequent they were so irreg- ular that no track could be kept of them.
 Two or three weeks later a couple of prospectors passing through the Buckhorn were attracted by several circling buZzards. They went in the direction of the birds and at last canI to a structure, half tent and half shack. Inside of it they found the body of the half breed covered with blankets The head had been split from the crown to the chin with an ax. It was generally believed at Wickenburg that Vargas was the murderer He could give no satisfac- tory account of himself, but said that when he left the placer the half breed was alive and well. Vargas was kept under surveillance for a time, during which he filed on the placer and later secured a title to it. ..
 Whatever might have been the opin- ion of his guilt of the murder of the half-breed, no evidence against him could be secured beyond the fact that so far as was known he was the last man in the companV of the victim,

TRANSMISSION LINE
 LEN6IHENS RAPIDLY
It Will Be Finished Between the
 Highland Canal and Roosevelt by r. the Middle Of July.

A. H. Demrick, the electrical engin ger in charge of the construction of the government transmission line be- tween here and Roosevelt, has been in the city for a day or two. He said yesterday that the line is completed between the Highland canal and Gov ernment Wells, distance of about twenty miles. The construction force is working toward Roosevelt and has completed the erection of all the tow CTS between Government Wells and a point four miles this side of Roosevelt. By the middle of July the line will be completed between the Highland can al and Roosevelt.

which the last transmission wire laid Is frightened sufficiently.
 While this is going on a part of the force is engaged in a re-stringing of the telephone wire for use again as before, and the small hoist is also busy in pulling back to the place of begin ming, the heavier steel hauling cable All this is done six times. when a sec tion is completed and the force moves forward another two miles.
 One fine point about the stringing of the transmission wire, along with a hundred other details, is the necesi- ty of knowing just how tight to stretch it. If the tension be too great when cold weather comes it might break and if too slight the wire would sag too much. This is not hard to figure out Tn a level country but over the rough hills it takes considerable tech nical information and a whole lot of natural horse sense.

to work on and are absorbed in the discussion
of the shades of color which they feel they are
blending.
The looms are much the same that grandmoth-
er's mother knew. The size has been somewhat
reduced, but the principle has not altered any.
In fact, looms in all countries as far back as
they can be traced, have the same mechanical de-
vices that are ingeniously elaborated to-day in
the high power carpet factories.
Weaving, no doubt, originated when some prime
val creature plated his or her hair, and then
tried crossing three strands of heavy grass one
over the other. From mats and baskets came the
idea of interlacing wool threads, and so cloth was
invented. Weaving, in some form or other, is one
of the earliest signs of civilization.
It might be argued that weaving is not an evi.
dence of the advancement of intellectually. The
wonderful shawls which come from the far east,
and which We are quite unable to initiate, are
made by a peasant populace. And whoever has
turned over pictures illustrating the manufacture
of Turkish and Persian rugs is as much impressed
by the uncouthness of the makers as by the sym
metry and imagination of the designs.
Crossing the Great Divide of this continent.
the Navajo and Moji Indians and the Mexican
blanket weavers to the south, are not leaders of
intellectual thought, though they have established
blanket weaving as an industrial art. The old
squaws are more wrinkled than winsome. This
isn't the fault of the weaving, however, and there
is no gainsaying that rugs and tapestries and
d%raperies and all the other products of the loom
into which individuality is woven, have a reac-
tionary effect on daily life.
In bingham, ardent handicraftsmen not long
ago discovered an old colonial loom lurking in the
recesses of a garnet. 1t was dragged forth and
restrung, and now 1t is back at work again.
Here, too, Swedish linen weaving is done. for
at bingham the industrial arts flourish. Linens
for dresses, toweling, sheeting and table covers
are woven on the Swedish loom.
The process of preparation requires almost as
much time and skill as the weaving itself. To
warp the skeins of linen is the first step. This
is done by arranging all the threads in even
lengths on a device somewhat like a turnstile,
which spins around, carrying them from top to
bottom and back again. Thus the threads are
measured off accurately, while, by means of pegs,
they are twisted into a figure eight shape. With
this device as many threads as 1000 to a yard
wide material may be kept from ~tangling. A
frame with teeth in it, Ike a big wooden comb.

response TO a local condition. Pupils atteno Tue
school whose homes are in remote parts OF the
mountains. During the winter time, it is impossible
for women living in these districts to penetrate
to any towns. Isolated as they are, 1t Is essenuai
that they have some rather active occupation, and
rug weaving having survived among the mountain
whites, it was accepted as the happy solution.
Already some Of these rugs have found their way
to Boston, and the industry promises to become
popular through the Tennessee mountains. In the
mountain Businesses they are still making those won
derful old bed spreads and table covers which are
priced as heirlooms in a few New England homes.
The colonial atmosphere which permeates the
town of Deerfield fosters the zeal Of the laborers,
who devote themselves to the simple industries OF
earlier days. From Deerfeld come specially at
tractive blue and white woven rugs and exquisite
needle work. Here, also, they dye their own ma
terials in indigo, madden and fustic shades. Jour
neying down one of the honeysuckle lanes one
may hear through the workroom window the whack,
whack sound of the reed as it presses the weaving
firmly down.

QUEER IDEAS ABOUT FOOD.

Slowly but surely modern enlightenment is rele-
eating to oblivion the foolish and often costly super
stitions which have been passed down from GEN.
fury to century. OF those, however, that lnger is
the superstition about the spining of salt and the
sure coming of i'll luck-the result of the painting
of a celebrated picture which showed that Judas, at
the Last Supper, sat before an overturned salt eel
lar. Then there is the idea against thirteen at table
because there were Christ and his twelve apos-
ties around that board in the upper room at the
supper which was followed so soon by our Lords
death, and that of Judas, too.
In some European countries i'll luck is said to
follow the person who stirs any liquid in a pan from
east to west. In Scotland persons when baking oat-
cakes break q piece off and throw 1t in the fire to
appease evil agencies. Still another custom in that
land is to make a birthday cake with nine knobs,
then of nine of the assembled company. when the cake
comes hot out of the oven, each breaks one knob
off, and throwing it behind him says: This l give
to Thee, Fox, Eagle, Wolf" etc.
In some countries it is considered unlucky to give
a mince pie to a guest-it should be asked for. Like.
wise, a mince pie should never be cut with a knife,
but held whole with the fingers and eaten that way.
Also to eat as many mince pies as possible at as
many different houses before Christmas, 1t is be.
lieyed. will Insure SO many happy months for the
eater.

keeps the warp an even
width when the threads
are strung on the Dom.
The threads are thus
spaced accurately and
then made taut by being
stretched to the front
beam, and the weaver Is
ready to start the cross
threads.
In introducing variegat-
ed shades, every other
thread can be raised by
pressing a pedal, and the
shuttle is thrown through
by hand, the operator
choosing the threads to
be crossed.
In embroidery work the
figure is woven onto the
fabric. Swedish linen fur
nishes a particularly eff
fective background for
this sort of work, for the
threads are not closely
woven, and yet there is a
firm appearance about a
well turned piece which
leaves no suggestion OF
haphazard mesh work. 1t

PENRosE AND BRYAN OPPOSED
Many Warm Contests in Pennsylvania
Primary Elections.

Philadelphia, April 1.-THE first
real test of the uniform primaries act,
which was passed by the legislature
in special session, as the result Of the
political upheaval In Pennsylvania
more than two years ago, will be had
this afternoon, when all the political
parties in the state will elect delegates
to their respective national and state
conventions, and nominate candidates
for congress, the state senate, assem-
bly,, Judge, and minor offices, in the
sixty-fve counties of the state. In ad-
dition to thousands of nominations
filed with the commissioners in all the
counties, more than 5000 names OF
candidates for national delegate, con-
gress and the legislature were filed
with the secretary OF the common
wealth. The election machinery of the
state will be taxed to the limit. The
work of handling the election and
compiling returns is expected to be
heavier than any election ever held In
Pennsylvania.
There is no contest within the re-
publican party over Pennsylvania s
preference for the presidential nomina-
ton. The last state convention unanl-
mously endorsed Senator Knox and the
present indications are that the state
to be held at Harrisburg
April 90, will reaffirm the action of last
wears state convention and Pennsyl-
yania's sixty-eight votes in the nation
al convention will be cast for Senator
Knox.
In the democratic party. however.
there is some show OF a contest over
the question whether the national del
egation shall go to Denver unfettered
or be instructed for William ]. Bryan.
Col. James M. Guggey, of Pitts
burg, democratic national committee
man from Pennsylvania, is credited
with favoring an uninstructed delega-
ton, while there are many in the
dem ocratic organization who want the
state convention, which meets In Har-
risburg May 20, to indorse the Nebras-
kan.
But the great contest in the state
which begins today and which viii be
carried on with vigor until the Noveln-
ber election is that for members OF
both houses of the legislature which
will choose a United States senator Il
succeed Penrose, whose term expires
next March He is a candidate for re-
election. and independent republican
leaders have announced that they will
oppose his return to the senate.

New York, April 1.-THE assembling
of the republican state convention at
Carnegie hall today was attended with
great interest, as the preliminary pro-
gram outlined by the state committee
contemplated the adoption of resolu-
tions strongly commencing the admin
istration Of Roosevelt and the state
administration of Governor Hughes,
and instructing the four delegates-at-
large to use every honorable means to
bring about the nomination of Gov
ernor Hughes for the presidency. The
platform as tentatively drawn deals
almost wholly with national affairs and
declares for revision OF the tariff to
meet existing economic conditions
The Westchester county delegates
held caucus early today and unani-
mously decided to oppose endorsement
of Hughes. The delegates were slow
in reaching the hall, and when the
time for calling to order was reached
there were only 200 in their seats.
Thruout the hall had been placed
pamphlets captioned Taft, man Of
experience" and giving a summary
of the life of Taft. Arrival of the po-
litical leaders was marked by cheers
and applause.
The convention was called to order
by Chairman Woodruff, and NJ. Linn
Bruce, the temporary chairman, ad-
dressed the assemblage.
AT the conclusion Of Bruce's speech,
the temporary secretaries of the con-
vention We're made permanent. Recess
was then taken to $3.50 o'clock. Inn
mediately after adjournment, the COM
mittee on permanent organization de-
cided to report Congressman james S.

resentatives of the colored Hughes
league of New York endeavored to get
a hearing before the committee. Mr..
Richardson, one Of the party, and a
delegate to the convention, said the
delegation was opposed to the selection
of Charles w. Anderson, a colored
member of the late committee, as al
ternate-at- large to the national con-
vention "On the grounds that he is a
federal office holder and a supporter of
Taft. If Anderson's name is presented
