The National Forests

Stafford, Ariz Mar. %, 1907
EDITOR GUARDIAN: The follow.
ing might prove acceptable as a
news item:
The Agricultural Appropriation
Act, approved March 4, 1907, pro.
vides that the forests reserves shall
hereafter be known as the "Nation-
al Forests"
Hereafter our local forest will
be known as the "Mount Graham
National Forest" instead of the
Mount Graham Forest Reserve, as
heretofore.
This change will suggest TO an
awakening public interest, the val
ne, extent and dignity of the
National Forest Policy, both to us
of today and Of the future.
Respectfully,
HAROLD II. Il MARSHALL,
Supervisor, Mount Graham Ma
tional Forest.

Pima, Ariz,, Mar. 26, 1907.
EDITOR GUARDIAN: In your issue
of March 22nd, there is an article
headed "Not Good Business" dated
at Thatcher, March 10th and sign
ed "Merchants" in which the writ.
er (whoever he may be) charges
the merchants of Pima and Stafford
with the responsibility of cutting
the price of eggs and at time
when there was no good reason
for such u cut. In reply to this,
we, The undersigned merchants of
Pima, desire to say that we neither
know nor care what part the mer
chants of Stafford may have played
in the recent decline in the price
of eggs, but this we do know, that
the merchants of Pima had moth
ing whatever to do in bringing
about cheaper eggs, each one of us,
having a regular market where all
our eggs were shipped.
z uau uO ItdSth ~, ahu We u'u
not, quote eggs to the outside
market at twenty cents, or at any
other price, and while we hold no
Ill feelings against the writer of
the above mentioned article, we
would advise him to be sure of his
facts before again rushing into
print and we would ask of him as
favor that, should he again pub,
lish the merchants of Pima, he
kindly sign his name that we
might know to whom we were in.

In q general way, hunger may be
considered a symptom Of health, and
Its absence an indication OF the ap.
proach. at least, Of disease. Under
normal conditions, the appetite is
closely dependent upon the require
ments of the system. The sensation
OF hunger is an exceedingly complex
one, being dependent on and modified
by the condition Of nearly every It's.
sue and organ Of the body. 1t is nat.
ural for the child to be always hun.
cry, because it is growing, making
new tissue, and requiring a large sup.
ply of tissue-forming food, says the
New York Weekly. With the very
aged, quite the opposite condition ex.
lists, as there is no actual rebuilding.
Suitable nourishment is required sim
ply TO keep the machine going. Nor.
ma hunger is frequently interfered
with by mental distress, the sight of
unattractive food, unhygienic sur.
roundings. excessively hot weather,
o~verfatigue and most forms OF dis.
ease. Even a headache will generally
render Il Indifferent to the most
tempting food.

SCORES OF MEN

BELIEVED THAT BETWEEN ~
AND 100 HAVE Persisted
IN ALABAMA MINE.
DISASTER NEAR BESSEMER
Eight Men Only Out Of 100 Escape
Alive After Terrific Explosion
The Cause Of the Disaster
Not Known.

Birmingham, Aia,-Between rs and
100 men are believed to have per.
ished in the mines of the Yolande
Coal and Coke Company, near
Bessemer, and 30 miles west Of Bir.
mingham, Monday morning.
Shortly after 10 O'Clock there was a
terrible explosion In the mines, the
cause Of which has not yet been deter.
mined. OF the 100 men who had gone
down the shafts Monday morning only
eight had emerged alive at last re.
ports, and the remainder, 1t is be.
lieved, are dead or dying.
A relief train was hurried from Bes.
semer to the scene over the Louisville
& Nashville railroad, and DR.. G. d.
Craeye, president of the
proceeded from this city in an auto
mobile.
The mines are located about IS
miles west of here. Indications point
to a dust explosion, although gas is
said to have existed in this place.
Fourteen men were working In sub.
entry No. 2, and crawled out before II
O'Clock. They were so badly burned
that their recovery Is doubtful.
The rescue work was taken up at
once, but 1t was about two hours be.
fore the mine could be entered, and 1t
is feared that this may have caused
the death of the men in the mine.
A tremendous crowd is around the
mine and every assistance is being
rendered.
Officers of the mine assert that the
news OF the explosion might be exag.
gerated, and that 1t is probable the
number of dead will be considerably
under what first reports Indicate.
