LOW PRICE IF WOOL
 SENDS NAVAJOS BACK
 TO BLANKET MAKING

There is likely 10 be an inundation of Navajo blankets this winter. accord ing to Governor Campbell, who re- turned yesterday from his tour, which included a part of the Navajo reserVa- tion. For several years, or almost eV CT since the price of wool went up, the Indians have almost abandoned the ancient art of blanket weaving There was much more profit in selling the wool than putting it into blankets. and besides it was much easier.
 But now the bottom has dropped out of the wool market and the wool of the Navajos is moving slowly, if at all, at ten cents a pound. At Tuba City the governor was told by John Kerley trader that he had 150.0O0 pounds of wool that he had bought from the In dians and expected to lose s10,000 on it.
 Three pounds of Navajo wool as it comes from the sheep will wash out about one pound of pure wool. When this wool, which al the present price would stand the Indian at thirty cents, when woven into a blanket would bring him $1 a pound. Therefore. the trader told the governor. the Indians were bringing out the looms that they laid aside years ago when they turned over the Navajo blanket industry to eastern manufacturers and many of them are already holding half completed blan- ketS.

ing that he intends to ask the next

sufficiently interested IL would not
be amiss to ask for $4,000 or $4,000
to build barracks FOR the boys and

be necessary for US to buy just e
little more land; or possibly IL we
were spending $4,000 and the s2500

might be glad TO donate US Just
