from Mexican dollars which the traders procure
for the Navajos, and many Of the pieces are very
beautiful in design and odd and exquisite as an
ornament The jewelry consists of rings brace
let's neck chains, charms and many other articles
1t should be remembered that none of the prod.
ucts raised at Shiprock under the supervision of
the superintendent and employees were permitted
TO participate for prizes. but every prize went to
reservation Navajos for products purely their
own. The vegetables and other agricultural prod
ucts of the agency are, however worthy of spe.
cial mention. as they formed fine exhibit in
themselves and included, besides the ordinary
products OF the section. many of the new vege-
tables brought from foreign lands by representa-
yves OF the department of agriculture.
Some OF the Indian exhibits were brought no
less than 70 miles in wagons and on horseback
by the interested owners, and one lot of SO gen.
eral exhibits, which deserves special mention
came from SaNoos-Tee, the vicinity of F. L. Noel's
trading post. This lot contained the prize-win.
ming assortment of silver work and other prize
winners.
The success of the first Navajo fair. which
the unappreciative neighboring public had sup
posed would consist of few pony races and
chicken lights, but which turned out to be an
exhibit OF agricultural products which probably
equaled any other ever made in the county for
quality, and contained at least five times the
quantity, is due entirely to the work of Major
w. T. Shelton, the superintendent at Shiprock
1t is true the Navajos were producing most of
these articles long before they ever saw or heard
OF Shelton, but they were not producing as much
as well, nor as fine quality as they have been

the institution which he has founded Neither
could they have been induced to have brought
together their most valuable and cherished per.
sonal effects for public inspection but for the con-
fdence which this agency has awakened within
them.
We have therefore seen the first beneficial
ehects OF education and proper example upon this
neglected people. The changes which have been
wrought upon those coming in contact with this
institution have been so rapid and sweeping that
1t challenges credulity. The difference between
them and the Navajos on some other parts of the
reservation is so marked that they would not be
taken for the same people, and it Is these differ
ences that commend the policies and practices
initiated by Mr.. Shelton at this institution and
places 1t In favorable contrast with other govern

chained to wheelbarrow:
"Schedrin had been condemned to hard labor in

Upon the arrival Of the prisoner in S. Peter and

and only after he had been six weeks in the
Schluesselburg was he finally detached from it and
given freedom Of movement within the narrow
