NEW TELEPHONE LINE FROM
HOLBROOK TO WINSLOW

A carload of telephone poles are at
the Santa Fe depot, to be used in the
construction of the telephone line from
HoBbrook to Winslow by the Mountain
States Telephone company, and as the
other material has been placed where
it will be used, the actual construction
work will soon be started.
The line will displace the old wire
that has been in operation by the local
company from here to Winslow for.
many years, the big company having
purchased the line from the local com
pany, which has lines to practically
all sections of Navajo and Apache
counties.
The new line will be especially well
coined, as there is considerable busi-
ness from Holbrook westward. The
line would have to be rebuilt by the
local company had not the big concern
bought them out of that part Of their
holdings.
1t is said that the new line will dur.
ing the coming year be built from
Holbrook to Gallup, which will give a
direct eastern connection to all parts
of the country. Tney recently built
the line from Albuquerque to Gallup,
and the continuation to Holbrook is
but natural result.-Holbrook Tri-

WOOL GROWERS TALKED
ABOUT NEW BUILDING

At called meeting of the market
ing committee of the Arizona Wool
Growers association at Phoenix in
the organization offices in the Ber-
ryhill building there was lively dis
cussion Of what action should be taken
to provide warehouse for the 1925
season clip which will start in Febru
ary. No definite decision was reached
and the meeting was adjourned until
December 9.
Three questions were discussed, that
of building warehouse, leasing a
building suitable for warehouse, and
thirdly the possibility of purchasing
"a building already constructed which
will serve as a storehouse for a sea-
sons clip.
The warehouse is not an urgent
need but is looked on as a necessity
in case of an unfavorable market in
which case the growers would want a
place to store the season clip of the
wool growers from over the state.

BASKET DYEING SECRET
DIES WITH AGED SQUAW

Handed down from mother to daugh-
ter for ages, a priceless possession, a
portion of tribal tradition, the secret
of two colOrs used in the weaving of
the basketwork of the Papagos is now
a thing of the past, known, as far as
can be ascertained, to no person.
An aged squaw, who lived for years
in the vicinity of Tucson, died about
two weeks ago ut the age of 90-odd.
But few, aside from her family, mark
ed the passing of the daughter Of the
Papago race. Shortly before her death
the last piece of woven work turned
out by her Wrinkled, skilled fingers
was brought to the city, basket
about three feet high by one and one
half in diameter, the result Of six
months painstaking labor on the part
Of the native artisan.
On its sides are the flying Thun-
derbirds, encircling the basket, and
woven in four colors, red, green, black
and white, and the artistry Of the
whole is exceptional, local authorities
on the work Of the Indians claim.
And now, since her death, comes
word that the aged squaw carried
with her to the grave the secret of
the brewing of the colors Of red and
green embodied in the Thunderbird de-
sign, and that the manner of making
the non-fading colors will never be
known again.
Of what herbs and roots she manu-
factured the native dyes, how they
were prepared and the secret of
their application, all are lost, the
Indians say, as the ancient weaver
shared her secret with no one.
Whether at some later time the
secret Of the crimson and green dye
will be unearthed by scientists, or
whether the world will never know
the age-old secret of the Papago ma
tion, the Indians, when asked, with ex-
pressionless faces make answer:

]. d. QUINN OF PHOENIX DIED
OF INJURIES SUSTAINED
WHEN STRUCK BY TROLLEY

John D. Quinn died Thursday of
last week as the result of injuries re-
celved when he was struck by a street
car at the intersection of Tenth and
Portland streets a few hours earlier.
Mr.. Quinn, who was known to his
friends as "DOc, .. had served as night
clerk at the Hotel Adams for many

witnesses told members of the sher-
ifs force, who investigated the acci-
dent, that Mr.. Quinn ran in front of
the car while attempting to hail it
and that the car struck him, knocking
him down. His skull was fractured
and one shoulder was broken, accord
ing to physicians who examined him
at the Deaconess hospital shortly be-
fore he died. He never regained con-
sciousness after the accident.
Mr.. Quinn had lived in Phoenix for
eight years, coming from Prescott,
where he was clerk at the Head
hotel. He had been connected with
the Hotel Adams for the major por-
ton Of that time during which he has
formed ~he acquaintance and the
, friendship of travellers from over the
entire country.
He was druggist by profession
and was in business in Frankfort, KY,
his birthplace, for many years before
coming to Arizona to make his home.
He made his home with his sister,
Mrs. Margaret Dorman at 1923 North
Eleventh street. He is survived by
Mrs. Dorman and one brother, who
lives in Antioch, Calf, and many dis
| tant relatives at his old home in Ken
| lucky.
! Mr., Quinn was at one time clerk at
the Commercial hotel, in Flagstaff,
and also was prescription clerk for
VIII Marian for three years, and had
many friends here.

FIRE CAUSES DAMAGE
TO YUMA ELKS CLUB

Fire, presumably of incendiary ori-
gin, broke out in the Elks' club a.
Yuma early Tuesday morning and
caused about $4,000 damage before the
flames could be checked.
The blaze was discovered on both
floors of the structure at the same
time, and doors which were supposed
to be locked were found open when
firemen arrived to combat the flames.
A great part of the loss was due to
water, as the fire was quickly extin-
guished after the firemen arrived
This is the second large fire that
has. occurred in Yuma in the past few
weeks. Recently the new Gondolfo
theater at that place was damaged by
fire Of unknown origin.

ASSESSORS TO MEET In
PHOENIX DECEMBER Is

Phoenix will be host to the annual
meeting of county assessors of the
state on December 18.
Most important of the matters ex-
pected to come before that meeting
will be the fixing of tentative value
for the assessment in 1926 of range
cattle and sheep. The commission is
being urged to reduce the valuation on
range cattle below that of last year,
The meeting is one held annually
for the discussion of tax matters in
which the cocnty assessors and state
tax commissions must cooperate.
Range cattle are assessed at SIT per
head and sheep at $3.50. Cattlemen
have been hard hit and last year
asked that the valuations be fixed at
SIS. The request may be renewed at
the approaching conference.

ASHFORK BURGLAR WAS
INSANE; TO ASYLUM

Whether it was from his original
method of burglarizing the Dickerson
store at Ashfork, when he broke out
of the establishment recently, instead
Of breaking into it, or the series of
spasms and fits he suffered during
the term of his Imprisonment that led
to an investigation as to his sanity, at
any rate, Carl DeGraw was found to
be what is termed mental case" and
sent to the government hospital at
Palo Alto for treatment.
DeGraw was arrested as he emerg-
ed from a hole he had broken in a
partition at the stare and lodged in
the county jail. 1t was learned that
he had made his escape from gov
ernment hospital for the insane and
his case was brought to the attention
of the Whipple authorities.

CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE
OF U. S. TO BE TAKEN SOON


The department of commerce is
about to take census of agriculture
covering the crop year 1924 and re-
lating to conditions on or near jan
uary 1, 1925. This. is the first census
Of agriculture to be taken midway be-
tween the decennial censuses; the act
of congress authorizing it is based on
the belief that, with rapidly changing
conditions in agriculture, there should
be a stock-taking as often as every
five years. The work of taking the
census will begin on December /, and
is to be completed on or before jan
uary 81. AS rapidly as possible after
the receipt of returns statements will
be released for the press, by the CEN
sus bureau at Washington, relative to
production of the principal farm
crops and the values Of farm proper
ties, including land, buildings, ma
chinery and live stock.
The enumeration will require the
services Of $4,000 to 10000 enumera-
supervisors, who have for the most
part been selected from the employees
of the bureau of the census and the
department of agriculture. Employees
Of the forest service will secure the
census returns for most of the farms
within the national forest reserves in
Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida,
Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana,
Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, South
Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Washing
ton, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
Sample questionnaires are being
widely distributed to the farmers, to
familiarize them with the information
soon to be called for by the enumera-
tors. In addition to the usual inquir-
les relative to production, values, and
farm expenses, the schedule calls for
the amount of taxes paid by the farm
operator on farm property, including
real estate tax, personal property tax,
and special assessments. 1t is inn
portant to ascertain just what the
burden of taxation resting upon the
farm really is and how it compares
with the amount of taxes paid by
other interests. This may point the
way to a more equitable adjustment
of the tax burden.
Heretofore the census of agriculture
has always been taken in connection
with a complete census Of population.
This time it will cover the farm
only, showing the number
of persons living on the farm, includ-
ing the family of the operator and
the farm laborers and their families.
These persons will be classified as
under or over ten years Of age and as
white or colored.
The extent to which farm operators
used the purchasing and selling facili-
ties Of farmers organizations will be
brought out by two inquiries; one
calling for the value of products Of
the farm sold through a farmers mar
keting organization, and the other
calling for the value of all farm sup
plies purchased from or through
farmers organization. An additional
index to the marketing conditions will
be brought out by answers to inquir-
les as to the kind Of road adjoining
the farm, whether concrete, brick, ma
cadam, gravel, improved dirt, or un-
improved dirt, and the distance to the
nearest market town. Through in
quiries of this character the census
seeks to secure information relative
to conditions upon which to consid-
cradle degree the success of farm
operation depends.

MED the request. The defense which
