Prescribed National

United States Attorney Carl Rarsch
of Montana has notified Clifford Pin
chot, chief of the United States forest
service, that the United States circuit
court of appeals at San Francisco has
affirmed the decision of Judge Hunt
in the grazing trespass case instituted
by the government against Thomas
Shannon. No copy of the decision has
yet been received by the forest serv-
ice, but it is believed that it forbids
stockmen to allow their cattle to drift
upon the national forests, and that the
national forests need not be fenc d to
prevent such drifting, although the
state laws may make such fencing
necessary for private lands.

26. Being opposed to the plain teaching of the Bible, which says, "The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God,' such legislation would place many honest, conscien- tious people where they could not obey the civil law; for. like the apostles of old, they must obey God rather than men,"
 With prayers for your prosperity and success in your important duties, that we may lead quiet and peace able lives in all honesty, according to our blessed Lords instruction, we present this memorial, and beg your honorable body to revere the mem ory of such men as Roger Williams who with him, have suffered by such legislation; and to ever remain loyal to the principles of liberty, as taught by Washington, Madison, Jefferson, and the greatest fathers of our re- public.
 As citizens of the city of Phoenix, and of Arizona, and of the United States of America, we respectfully request this council to refuse to pass or in any manner encourage such measures.

AN ADDRESS TO THE COUNCIL

To the Members of the Phoenix City
 Council:
 Honorable Sirs:-
 The undersigned beg leave to pre- sent to your body this memorial as an expression of the principles in- volved in the ordinance to close the barber shops upon Sunday, the first day of the week. and request your honorable body to give it yoln' thoughtful consideration.
 l. We believe the passage of such an ordinance would be a restriction of civil rights; for, if some add to their life. liberty and the pursuit of happiness" by closing their shops on Sunday, others add to their life liberty and the pursuit of happiness by remaining open.
 9 It would take away rights, as well from those who favor, as those who oppose the measure.
 3. It would make honest toll a crime, punishable by fine or impris- Onment.
 4. It would favor the spirit of mon- opolies, being a monopoly of time.
 3. The support of the measure can not justly be found in any sanitary reason; neither can Sunday labor ever be regarded as a nuisance ex- cept by those whose religious preju- dices are aroused by it.
 6. An ordinance regulating the time when a man shall lie in bed, what time he shall eat. and how much. what make of clothing he shall wear, how often he shall bathe, and to leg islate upon every detail of domestic life, would be as reasonable and proper as the proposed ordinance. :. It is contrary to the broad prin- ciples upon which our great republic was> founded.
 s. It would open the door for a future flood of similar and perplex- ing ordinances to be urged upon your council.
 9. It is an encroachment upon the liberties of every citizen of Phoenix.
 10. Our nation has not grown great because of such legislation; and Phoenix and Arizona are already growing great without it.
 II. It cannot add in the least de- gree to the health or general wei

fare of the people of this city, and does not in any way add to the liber- ties of those who favor it; but would | tend to crush out constitutional rights of those who oppose it. 12. As a religious measure, it con tradicts the American idea, being absolutely opposed to both spirit and letter of our glorious constitution, and practically every bill of rights 1 ever written within the United States ! of America.
 13. Such enactments are not with in the purview of civil government, for the holy Author. of true liberty declared, Render, therefore. unto Caesar the things that are Caesars, and unto God the things that are God's;" and again, If any man hear my words and believe not, l judge him not; for I came not to judge the world. but to save the world" IA. It is contrary to the Golden Rule in every principle. 15. The blood stained and sad his tory of almost every nation of the old world testifies to the operation of similar regulations, which inter fere with mems rights, civil and re- ligious.
 16. As men, we oppose the meas ure; because, such ordinances beget spirit of hypocrisy and meanness, rather than one of fairness and hon esty.
 F. As citizens, we are against all such enactments as being profitable to neither religion nor civil govern mont b11t iOiIriouS to bofh
 IS. As Protestants, we protest; be- to regulate and enforce the gospel or it's institutions upon any man, be he infidel Jew or Christian.
 19. As Christians, we deny the right of any man or earthly power to in- terpret the Bible for us, or to enact any ordinance which may be used against those whose understanding of their duty in matters of conscience may differ from the majority.
 20. Religion has always been pur- est and flOurished best where there has been the most complete separa- tion between church and state.
 21. The duty we owe our Maker and the manner of discharging it can never be made more spiritual by CO., ercion, nor more acceptable by pains and punishments inflicted by a civil magistrate.
 22. We have found that all Sunday laws, from the first one enacted by the Roman emperor, Constantine, to the one proposed, have not been civil but religious in their nature.
 23. Every work which it is right and honorable to do on Monday should be as honorable and proper to do on Sunday, and on every other day of the week in the eyes of civil government, municipal, state or na- tional.
 24 Civil laws are enacted to pro tect every individual in his rights civil and religious; but the proposed measure could not do this,
 25. Either civil government has the right to pass ordinances enforcing every religious doctrine and institu- tion, or none.

A CONCRETE BUILDING
 FOR VALLEY BANK
Work Will Be Begun Monday and the Location is on West Adams Street.

A contract was closed yesterday be- twen Dwight B. Heard and the Phoe- nix Reinforced Concrete Construction company. of which Dave Goldberg is the president and Jack Greville, the building superintendent, for the erec- ton Of a reinforced concrete building 5OxIS7 feet of classic design, on lot s. block 9l, or more definitely, between the building lately occupied by the Phoenix Cycle company and the Gris- wold Bicycle store, on West Adams street. This new building will be the future quarters of the Valley bank, and work on it will be commenced Mon day.
 Thornton Fitzhugh, who has the prison contract and who was also the designer of the Huntington block in Los Angeles, is the architect. This building project is considered one Of the most important of recent months. IL is expected to have this building completed and fitted up for use by early fall
 The plans show that it will be not only . commodiOus structure, but un- usually pretty and artistic in outlines. The beauty of the plate glass front will be enhanced by the exterior sash and door frames which will be finish ed in copper bronze. The structure will be built one story in height for the present, with a sixteen foot ceiling, - but will be rOofed with a reinforced concrete floor, so that additional stor- ies may at any time be added.
 This floor will be insulated with eighteen inches of earth and there will be another special roofing over all, making it practically a nOn-conductor of heat. The structure will have a concrete base, and the floor will be of concrete tiles in pompean red. The interior will be further decorated by plaster molds and panels, and stain ed glass dome over the banking room.
 F. J. Bennitt is now in Los Angeles selecting the fixtures, which will be of most modern design. The room will be divided by handsome partitions of quarter sawed oak, and bronzed steel grill work. The body of the vault will be built of reinforced concrete, filled with the wires of the Scott Electric burglar alarm system, by which an alarm is given the instant a tool is touched to the wall for operations. The vault will be a high class up-to-date one.
 Another feature of tbe new quarters of the Valley Bank will be the heating and cooling system. It will comprise an electric power fan which will give an entire change of air in the building every seven minutes. In the good old summer time bys this large fan the air will be drawn through a coke or charcoal filter, through which water will be percolating. This system will ordinarily lower the temperature of the air fifteen degrees from what the thermometer will show outside. This will not only make the building cool in summer but will make the atmosphere pure and relieved of germs and dust particles.
 In the winter by the same process the air will be drawn over coils which will raise the temperature to a point desired. This will be automatically regulated by a thermostatic machine and will never vary more than one degree. The building will also be equipped with the vacu- um cleaning system by which dust is
