A Monster Indian Basket
Indian baskets two and a half feet in
diameter a:id about the same size from
top to bottom are sights which delight
the eyes of those interested in baskets.
Though they are now very, difficult to
obtain, the leading collections on the
coast and in the East all contain one or
more such. Bet baskets beyond theee
dimensions would be very hard to ob
tain, for t he reason that the weaver
would most likely tret tired of the work
and give it up long before the. basket was
finished. There are baskets in certain
museums three feet in diameter, but
they are very few, and for that reason
and because of the difficulty of duplicat
ing them, they are very highly Valued.
There is, however, one Basket (and it
deserves to be printed with a capital) of
nearly twice these dimensions. It is
banging now in the market street office
of the San Francisco & North Pacific
Railway Company, and is an object of
much interest to crowds of men and
women who have no special interest in
the ordinary Indian basket. This
basket is known as the "Tee" weave,
which is the most intricate of all the
weaving done by the Indians. We
quote the !b!!o.vinjr words of description
and history :
Fine reeds run through the basket
from top to bottom, and around them
are woven the strands of fibre o'f which
-the basket is composed.' In among
theee are woven the different colored
fibres which go to make up the pattern.
Each of the fibre threads is put in its
place as tight as the cotton in a piece of
-chesting, and the pattern is as plainly
marked as if it were pain tod. In shape
the basket is somewhat like a globe,
with the exception that the upper halt
extends outward (upward) a little. That
portion of the work, however, is not ex
ceptional. It is the enormous size of
the basket that makes it unusual.
The basket was made by a Poma In
dian woman in the village near TJkiah,
and the work consumed nearly two
years. It was commenced in Novem
ber, 1805, and finished only a few days
ago. Poor woman! when she started to
make the basket she intended to eclipse
all the previous efforts of her tribe (the
most skillful and the most celebrated
basket-makers In the world), but she
never considered just bow big the basket
really was to be. Possibly she did not
think it worth considering; but when
she came to remove it, her difficulties
commenced, for it was found that the
basket was too large to be taken out of
the bouse by any of its exits. At last
the problem was solved by the purchaser
paying enough for the basket to make it
profitable for the woman to tear her
houBe away. This done, the basket was
Boon on its way to San Francisco. The
woman realized enough on it to enable
ber to live in affluence the rest of her
days, and she is now looked up to as the
millionaire of her tribe.' Her basket is
the largest ever made of its kind, and
the chances are it is the largest that
ever will be. '
The board of equalization will meet
the first Monday in October, at which
time all who are dissatisfied with their
assessment, will be given the opportun
ity to correct any error. sT-d&wtf.

HIGH BUILDINGS.
One Wn Planned try a Student Tliirty
Vcan Agro.
An old graduate of the Troy Poly
technic institute was looking1 at the
high Neave building a few -days ago,
reports the Cincinnati Commercial Tri
bune, and said:
"That high building makes me think
of a graduate of my class who was a
marvel. We thought he was crazy, and
his mysterious end only deepens the
conviction that our surmise was cor
rect He was everlastingly speculat
ing upon the seemingly improbable.
At one time he said that the day would
come when they would build houses
100 stories high, and to .nhow how it
would be done he made a drawing of a
bridge, as we called it. standing on end.
Then he said all you have to do to finish
the thing is to cut stones to fill the
spaces, put in the joists and raft w.:, and
there you are. And that was more than
30 years ago, before the high buildings
had been thought of by any architect.
And the. plans of the present are prac
tically the same as proposed by Fay
when he was but a boy. He graduated,
and was looked upon as the brightest
man of the class, though everyone
thought, him peculiar. He went to the
west- Colorado,. I think and disap
peared as mysteriously as if he had gone
to another planet. I think he was never,
heard of al least I have never heard
of him from that day to this. Surely
2-enius and madness arc near allied."
