Forest HOmeSteadS
in SitgreaveS Forest

During the months of Febru-
ary and March, 1915, a total Of
655 acres of land within the Sit
greaves National Forest, Ari-
zona, were listed with the Sec
retary of the Interior and will
shortly be opened to entry under
the forest homestead act. The
lands thus listed were applied
for individually by five appli-
cants, and each one of these
tracts was examined by a forest
officer and found to be more
valuable for agriculture than for
forest purposes.
Those whose applications were
favorably acted upon during the
months of February and March
are:
Wilmer Stevens, j. H. Self,
Jas. M. Freeman. of Pinetop,
Arizona; /. A. Ray and Oscar
Ray, of Showlow. Arizona.
In addition to this, 2427 acres
were listed to applicants within
other National Forests in Arl-
zona and 24O9 acres within Ma
tional Forests in New Mexico.

SC0TT'S HIGHWAY
 BILL COMMENDED Provides for Roads East and West and North and
 South in Counties

The passage of the house bill intro duced by Representative N W. Scott in reference to the county highways, is said to have given great satisfaction to the travelling public. The bill provided that the county shall maintain a direct high way from its county lines north and south and east and west. even though the highway runs through an incorpor- ated town or municipality
 Under the provisions of the bill the county authorities will be empowered to build and keep in repair road com mencing north at the Bount county line 1oosa county and commencing west at the Walker county line and running east to St. Clair. Both these roads would necessarily run through Birmingham, as all the principal highways of the county lead to this city.
 The purpose of the bill is to provide for the stretches of county highway that pass through the smaller municipalities of the county. In many instances a county highway runs through small town for a distance of about half a mile. owing to the lack of funds the town au- thorities are unable to keep the high way in proper repair and in several not able instances the break in the county highway by reason of these municipali- ties is almost impossible in wet weather
 Representative Scott states that the matter of the route is left to the board of revenue but that as the direct routes are already established. but little diff culty will be experienced in selecting the county routes. He states that the indi- cations are that the bill will be acted upon favorably by the senate.

 A REPLY TOS. A. ELLIS

To the Editor of The Herald
 MT. Ellis, in his article in The Age Herald of January a. has stated a one sided View and a materialistic eoncep- tion of the subject of evolution. which is miseonception of the Darw,nian l theory, a theory which embodies certain faets, but not, by any means, all the facts of evolution. Man could no more descend from an animal than cocoa nuts could grow on rose bushes. And as Tor links. If such links existed between the various species the world would be full Of monstrosities. Man is responsible Tor few such links and thereby vio- iates law of God, who has created each species separate and distinct Ma ture has her own method of undoing the vicious work of, man. Something Of what evolution Is may be found in the facts eSllected by biology and geology But the evolution of man is quite an ether matter. The whole of humanity Is carried forward to spiritual unfold ment on the mighty and beheficent stream of evolution. This evolution is God will. the method of it His plan
 We can fathom the meaning of evolu- tion only as we recognize three funda- mental facts. They are: CD that life is everywhere; CD that life never dies and tS) that life evolves. There is no dead substance, and the rocks that seem 10 our eyes lifeless are alive with Kind of life which we cannot see or reel. The life of the plant, of the ami : maj, Of man, is evident to our senses hut It is not different in kind from that invisible life which exists in the stone. Nor is there any point in space Where there is not life. Above below. around and within, there is One Life pervading all things. and that Life is one expression of the nature of God
 We live in a world of change and death. ana 1t seems to us that all things must die Nature seems one grim tragedy of mutual slaughter. But this is not so Change and death are inevitable wherever there IS form, but change and death oc- cur only that life may live more fully than before.

 According to Sol Caheen, Miss Tumlin had appeared rather Respondent for sev- eral days prior to leaving Birmingham q week ago. He stated that he advised her to take her time in New York and enjoy a good rest. He was very much surprised at the news of the suicide.
 T cannot understand her action" said MT. Caheen, although in thinking 1t over her act may be traced to despond- ency. Miss Tumlin, for several days be- fore leaving the city, was suffering from indigestion and was feeling very blue. We talked to her and attempted to cheer her up. We told her to take her time on the New York trip and enjoy a good rest. She promised to do so.

TONY D|ADONE GIVEN 2O-YEAR SENTENCE Found Guilty by Jury of
 Criminal Assault
 A SENSATIONAL CASE
Black Pleads for Death Penalty-Able Arguments Made by Attorneys for Defense = Appeal Will Be
 Taken to Supreme Court

After few hours deliberation the jury in the case of Tony Diadone. charged with criminal assault on Mary Vitelina, returned a verdict of guilty as charged In the indictment and fixed his punishment at 20 years in the pen- itentiary. The case has been on trial In the criminal court since last Thurs day before Judge W. E. Fort and has proven one of the most sensational cases tried in the courts of the county for years. Both parties interested are Italians and the sentiment among tho people of their race seemed to be about equally divided. It is understood that an appeal to the supreme court will be taken.
 The alleged victim In the. case pre- sented pitiable figure both on the witness stand and while listening to the arguments, pro and con, in the case. Happily, perhaps, she did not understand them for she speaks but little English and the denunciation of counsel fell on ears that did not com prehend.
 In the early stages of the trial Judge Fort excluded all persons from The courtroom except the officials and principals in the case in order to spare the girl any possible embarrassment. As many of the witnesses did not un- derstand the English language inter- preters had to be employed, which pos sibly delayed the conclusion of the case.
 Solicitor Hugo L. Black and Assist ant Solicitor Walter Brewer represent ed the state and Prosch & Prosch and Mat Murphy the defendant. Every inch of the legal ground was stuboornly contested by both sides, the arguments were strong and able, all the attor- neys speaking before the jury. Attor- neys for both sides agreed that Judge Forts charge to the jury was clear and concise and absolutely fair to all parties.

1 the building. Death effects only the form; the consciousness that held 1t to- gethef persists after death. rooted as ever in God. Life builds forms only in order to live a fuller life thereby; as soon as the form flinders the coming of that fuller life. it is cast aside and ss resolved into those clements out of which life once built it.
 God who is Power, Beauty, Wisdom and Love, desires that all things created by Him shall partake of His nature and relolee With Him. So He pervades with Ills life the universe He has brought into being. It is through that life tha, lie wills to reveal Himself to His crea- lures, and so He has implanted in it an instinct Of unfoldment that We call evolu- tion There is no more inspiring study than this process of unfoldment If we study chemistry we already gain some idea of the wonderful building of atoms Into molecules, whence is possible the life n organic and inorganic things Each part or that building is guided by God, and each new grouping of forces re- veals something more of His nature. How beautifully He builds His minerals; with what grace and rhythm He plans so that Ills nature shall be further revealed If We study botany, and go out into the fields and forests and try to feel their life We shall understand how much more Of Himself He has revealed to us. In studying zoology let US note the struc- ture and habits of the myriads of forms that are the animal kingdom, and above all. let us try to understand and love animals. and We shall realize how one more veil has been lifted and how much nearer we are to God. If we look into the hearts of men and long to share t"eir burdens We shall see God nearer still. a
 But man is soul he stands apart from all creatures below him. He is a higher expression of God and fuller revelation of His nature than the life of the animal. It is to teach men that hap piness comes only through service that God has planned everything visible and invisible. The rise and fall If nations the appearance and disappearance of cults and creeds and sciences and arts and phllosophies are so many moves in a game He plays, that we may become channels of His highest life.
