biggest contracts in the world on his
hands, was born in Washington, d. e.,
in 1877. His parents live there still.
After his graduation from Columbia,
Shuster obtained position as a ste
nographer in the war department at
Washington. When the Spanish war
broke out he was made assistant sec

they cling to their medicine man more closely than the Apache, while at the same time they have more use for the government doc tor than the Apache seems to have.
 The difference in the progress of these two tribes is readily ex- plained in the difference in treat ment accorded to women of the respective tribes.
 The Navajo woman is the head of the house and controls the family affairs, whereas the Apache woman is nearly always a mere drudge, and instead of spending her time at some remunerative occupation like Misunderstanding, spends it in making an intoxicat- ing drink to demoralize her people.
 The Navajo is kind to strangers and hospitable. He believes in schools and the work the govern ment is doing for the Indion, and his greatest hindrance in sending his children to school is the fact that they are needed to take care of the hocks.

INTERESTING FACTS
 ABOUT NAVAJO INDIANS
They Are Thrifty Family, We'll to Do, and Inclined to Be Progressive,
 Kind and Hospitable.

Dh h NliP to du ihulah iSSIiN va ton, such as the Navajo, one sees many things that are of interest to others. The writer, in making such trip recently, was surprised to learn that the eastern part of the Navajo reservation is under laid with many strata of the finest kind of coal varying in thickness from a few inches to seven or eight feet
 In going from Gallup, N. M., to Fort Defiance, Arizona, you pass over part of the country made famous by the military achievements of Kit Carson. Few traces of the fort remain, and the Indian school employees have just torn down the old commissary building the last landmark of the fort that was built to protect the whites in the early pioneer days from the depredations of the then warlike Navajo.
 While there are more than Io,- GOO Navajo on this reservation, under the Navajo agency alone, one cannot realize the amount of territory that has to be crossed to see few Indians, particularly so because the nomadic or rather pastoral life of these people make them the least gregarious tribe of our Indians. They have 500, ,ooo head of sheep alone, and they move camp every few days to take their flocks to new and fresh pas ture and water. The only thing that prevents great part of this reservation from becoming richly agricultural is the lack of water. But Superintendent Paquett states that he raised 500 bushels of po- tatoes last year on two acres by dry farming, and a great deal of barley hay on the school farm and expects to raise enough hay to supply the school stock, which will be quite a saving to the gov ernment, as hay costs at the agency S3o to S35 per ton.
 But the industry peculiar to the Navajo is the making of blankets. Every hogan has its loom, and these people sell, it is said, s25o,- 900 worth of blankets each year. It is strange that the eastern peo- pie have not taken up the use of these blankets nearly as much as is supposed, but the best market | yet for them is in the southwest.
 The importance of the sheep industry to the Navajo cannot be well overestimated, and one is amazed to find that children of eight or nine years of age are seen taking care of their flock, sleep ing on the ground with a single blanket by a small campfire, keep ing hungry coyotes from depicting the flock, doing their own butcher ing for food for themselves and dogs, and in short doing every thing necessary for good shcp- herd to do. One boy told me that his family had 2,285 head of sheep, and that many families had as many. He also said that some of the people utilized the sharp edge of an old tin can to shear the sheep. If this be true, it seems that the government could well afford to introduce the new shear ing machine, which costs only SIS, and would doubtless pay for itself in one flock by the amount of wool it would save, to say nothing of the amount of pain saved the pat,pnt cheap
