FOREST HOMEsTEADs
Applications In the Sitgreaues
 National Forest.

During the month of Decem- Der, 1914, a total of 120 acres of land within the Sitgreaves Ma tional Forest. Arizona, were listed with the Secretary of the Interior and will shortly be opened to entry under the Forest Homestead Act. The lands thus listed were applied for individu- ally by two applicants, and each one of these tracts was exam ined by a Forest Officer and found to be more valuable for agriculture than for forest pur- poses.
 Those whose applications within the Sitgreaves National Forest were favorabIy acted upon during the month of De- cember are: Israel Laxton, Showlow, Arizona; David Dalton. Pinedale, Arizona. In addition to this. 1.242 acres were listed to applicants within other National Forests ln Arizona and 847 acres within National Forests in New Mexico.

ARIZONA'S CLIMATE
The Reasons for Freedom from
 BlizzGrds Explained.


 of Northern Arizona and that part of New Mexico lying on the west slope of the Rocky Noun tains, is the precipitation. It is on this that it's future develop ment largely depends.
 The amount and character of the precipitation. the time of it's occurrence, and the successful conservation of that which falls on the mountains for use Tn ir- rigating the valleys, are ques- tions of vital importance. for nowhere in the United States does the soil respond more gen. erously to the application of water than in the fertile valleys of this regIon.
 The precipitation occurs prin- cipally during two portions of the year, a primary maximum fall occurring during the months from July to September, inclu- sive. and a secondary maximum during the colder months of the year. But little precipitation occurs during the later autumn months and practically none at the lower elevations during April, May and June.
 The precipitation of winter is the result of general storm movement over the district. in- duced by the low area as that de- velop over the Gulf of Califor- mia and the lower Colorado val ley, the greater part of the moisture from which, however, is deposited in regions far to the eastward. In the high eleva- tions much of the precipitation of winter occurs as snow, and it's gradual melting later in the year serves to maintain moder- ate supply of water in the streams until the heavier rains of the late summer appear.
 The rains of summer are local in character and generally trace able to the influence of the mountains lnterposing their masses to the free passage of rain-bearing winds. These winds in their passage over the high elevations. are cooled by the consequent elevation and ex- pansion sufficiently to cause con- densation and precipitation. While the maximum intensity of these local storms of summer is confined largely to the adjacent | mountain areas. the upper cur rents distribute the precipitation to some extent over the adjacent | valleys and plains.
 Over the lower elevations, es- pecialiy in the southwestern DOT tion of Arizona, but little rain occurs at any season of the year, due primarily to the intense heating of the atmosphere, by which it's capacity for retaining is greatly increased. The winds. blowing from the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific. though containing vast amounts of moisture, are heated so far above the dew-point that they become relatively dry winds and retain their moisture to be pre- cipitated. when sufficiently cooled. upon the mountains farther east.
 For elevations from 1000 to 4.OOO feet the average annual precipitation is about twelve inches. From 4.OOO to 6. GOO feet it rises above IA inches. At ele- vations above 5000 feet the an- nual precipitation probably ranges from 16 to more than 20 inches.
 Variations Tn the annual of precipitation at the same points cover wide ranges. At Yuma, Arizona, the annual fall has ranged from 0.60 of an inch in 1899 to 11.41 inches in 1905; Tucson, Arizona, shows extremes ranging from 5.26 inches in 1885 to 24. IT inches in

The obligation to tell the truth is one that should be as sacredly observed by news papers as by individuals, and es- peciallV so at this time. with re- gard to the war in Europe. Sen sible people are tired of the tales of horror dished up by a sensa- tional press. As long as the so- called war news" IS so strictly censored and so contradictory, we believe our readers would pre- fer to have none of it.

 The Arlzona Republican, ad- vising the second state legis- lature to beware of freak" leg islation, concludes as follows:
 There is another danger. We have had such an experlence within the last three years with freak and radical legislation that we may be tempted to be ultra conservative and to revert to the very practices which produced the radicalism from which the state now suffers.

CHANGE IN PERSONAL TAX LAW

The office Of c. A. Gullick, county
treasurer, was the busiest place in the
Brookings county court house last
week as it was the closing period for
the payment of the second installment
Of taxes. 1t is thought there will not
be a very large delinquent tax list in
this county this fall. Residents Of the
county will be interested to know that
a change in the mode of collecting de-
.linQuent personal taxes has been
made. Heretofore delinquent personal
taxes could be paid to the county
treasurer, but the new law makes 1t
the duty Of the sheriff to collect all
delinquent personal taxes, and after
the tenth of the month no taxes can be
laid to the county treasurer unless
the fine of n dollar be attached for
sheriff fees. If the tax is collected by
the sheriff he Is entitled, according to
law, to n dollar, and twenty cents
per mile for all taxes so collected,
and it behooves all who are indebted
to the county to see that the personal
tax is paid before November 10, IL
they wish to avoid paying the penalty.
