ed in suits filed in Federal Court

The suits, filed separately by the
George Van Camp & Son Canning Co
OF Nestfield, Ind, and the Ladoga
Qnd) Canning Co., allege that the
American Can co. sells it's product
to the Van Camp Packing CO. at prices
lower than those given the plaintiffs,

Word was received Tuesday by
Ed McGonigle from the District For
est at Albuquerque that the bid Of
$3.50 per thousand feet made by his
company for seventy-five million feet
of pine timber south of Flagstaff,
had been accepted.
The local people connected with
the new mill company are John G..
Verkamp, Ed McGonigle and Jesse E.
Boyce, who together with number of
California capitalists will immediate
ly organize the company with capital
of 100000 to commence construction
work.
The plan of organization is prac-
tically complete and the promoters
were merely waiting until they re-
ceived word that the contract for the
large body timber had been awarded
them.
The. mill will be located within a
half mile of Flagstaff and it is
thought now that it will go up just
at the southeast edge of town where
the company will be able to secure
ample accommodations from the Santa

PRIMITIVE AMERICAN
HAND MADE RUGS
BY f. S. Toelle, Flagstaff

The weaving is done upon frame
of rough poles, the most primitive
sort Of loom. The warp consists of
single continuous strands of tightly
twisted yarn of great strength wound
over and over the upper and lower
cross pieces of the loom and placed
as closely together as the insertion
of the wefts will permit. No knots
are tied in the warps, and none in
the wefts. The finished rug is q
solid fabric without weak places or
loose ends of yarn and, like real
tapestry its pattern is the same on
both sides. This means double the
wear.
The cleansing of the. raw wool is
done with the use of remarkable
natural soap, the crushed root of the
yucca plant commonly called amole.
The spinning is done with small
wooden distaff or spindle twirled with
the right hand while the wool is
drawn out to the required size of
yarn with the left.
The weaving is done without the
use of sketch or chart. The weaver
produces without other aid the design
she has in mind. She measures dis
tances with her eye or hand. The
work is unbelievably slow and infin-
itely painstaking, requiring degree
of patience unknown in our industries.
A fine rug measuring four by six feet
would require about ten weeks to
weave and is rarely finished in that
time for the weaver also has her
children to care for and her other
fireside duties to perform.
With the warps in place she begins
from the bottom and places the
wefts between the tightly strung
