It is believed that the list is nearly complete, although it is possible that belated reports might add a few cas- ualties to the list.
 Hundreds Wounded.
 It is impossible to ascertain the number of injured; but it may run to 200 or more. A considerable num- Der of persons are reported seriously injured and it is possible that the death list may be increased from this source.
 Related reports received showed that the storms path extended north of the section from which reports were received Friday night
 Apparently the tornado originated in Texas and swept northeast into Arkansas. In this state it first struck about three miles east of Texarkana, causing heavy loss of life on farms and plantations in the Red River sec tion. It next swooped down in Hemp stead county at Sheppard about 10 miles southwest of Hope, where four negroes were killed. Then it struck the town of Dolph. five miles north west of Hope. The next place where it struck down was in the MarlbrOok and Jakajones settlements. about 10 miles north of Hope, and three miles south of Blevins.
 Of Deadly Fury.
 Apparently the tornado rose after leaving the Marlbrook and Jakajones settlements and when it descended again at Mount Pisgah, near Delight in Pike county, it's fury had abated somewhat, although it caused .i'o death of Oscar Harris, farmer there, and probable fatal injuries to hi wife and baby.
 Then the storm struck down on the edge of Gravelly, in the western part of Yell county, causing one death, injury to several persons and the de- structions of many homes.
 The northernmost fatality is report ed from Appleton in Pope ounty northeast of Russellville.
 There the storm seems to have spent it's fury, for although Benton county in the northern part of the state, re- ported hard blow, the loss of prop erty was slight compared with that in the districts further south.
 The storm also caused several in iuries at Friendship, demolished sev- eral homes and caused injuries at Friendship, Hot Springs county but this town apparently was not in the main path of the storm.
 The loss of property can only be guessed at. Hundreds of homes were destroyed. Nearly all of these were the dwellings of small farmers, who already have been hard hit by the low price of cotton. All the cities in tee storm district have promptly gone to the relief of the sufferers, however and it is expected that the entire state will respond if further assistance is needed.

GAS WELL ON THEIR
 PROPERTY, |S NEWS

There are many people who can receive telegrams which cost $10 or even more than that, but there are not many people in Phoenix who can get the good news contained in the one which Mrs. Byron Drew, guest at the Hotel Adams, received yesterday It came from her Husband a wealthy oil man of Ardmore, Okla, to tell her that they had brought in the first big gas well on his Duncan property.
 Mrs. Drew, who with her niece, Miss Mary Dale Jones, has been spending the winter months at the Adams, took the news very placidly.
 Its got to be quite an ordinary, every day happening to me now" she told the reporter, but I have seen the time when it would have caused me a any story back of it. You see, we just happened to be the first in the field around Ardmore. Brought in our. first big gusher at Healton, which Is 80 miles from there, about five years ago. Then we sold out our holdings and moved to Hewet, 15 miles nearer Ard more, and there we had the same luck again. Now. my husband and son are drilling at Duncan, adjoining the prop erty where G. A. Ramsey brought in his 2,00e barrel well about a week ago." Mrs. Drew is a sweet, motherly wom- an, with the softest voice and the most delightful Southern accent one could | wish to hear.
 i q just love this Climate" she said | land if it continues to do me as much 1 good as it has, we are going to buy 1 us a home here and become req Phoenicians. I'd much rather tall
 about that than oil wells" she smiled "Only thing I'm proud of is that my husband and son stuck to their ides that there was oil around Ardmore against the opinion of many oil men | and that they won out"

WIVES ARE HOsTESSES AT
 CHARMING DINNER

The dining room of the Hotel Adams last evening was the scene of a charm ing dinner party. the hostesses being the wives of the legislators who reside in the hotel, and their guests being Governor and Mrs. Campbell and the legislators and their wives who reside outside the hotel.
 The tables were beautiful with crim- son carnations and ferns, soft shaded lamps throwing their lights on the faces of the diners, while leaving the rest of the room in semi darkness. The dinner was entirely informal
 Speaker Keefe of the house acted as toastmaster and between courses called on many of the members of both houses for speeches. Governor Campbell responded first with com plimentary talk for the way the busi- ness of the legislature was being con- ducted, and the speakers who followed seemed to vie with each other in their efforts to be short and to the point with their remarks.
 Representative Udall said that he had learned since coming to the legiS- lature to say dinner instead of supper and J. B. Wylie said he had learned to take all he could get and give nothing in return. Mrs. Bush told how much she had enjoyed her work in the house even though many of her bills had been turned down, and Miss Boehringer spoke in like vein. Mrs. Campbell wife of the governor, told how she had been among the legislators for 20 years and complimented the members on be- | ing the most intelligent body of men she had yet seen.
 The affair came to close by all the | members giving a rising vote of thanks to J. c. Adams, through whose courte- sy the pleasant evening was made pos Sible

Three-Fifths Of
 Forests Are Gone
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

BOSTON, Feb. 16.-With three fifths of the primeVal forests gone' the United States must turn to the growing and harvesting Of tlmoer crops, Colonel w. B. Greeley, chief OF the United States forest service, told the Massachusetts house of represen- tatives today He said less than five per cent of the virgin forests of New England remained.
 "The United States has reached the turning point in forest resources, ne continued. Either we must quit using wood, or we must find a way to grow wood upon our own millions of acres of idle land.
 "A serious shortage of wood cannot be overcome in a couple of years. Ex- tend publicly owned forests and en- courage owners of timber land to grow trees as much as we can and the sup ply of wood will still be hopelessly in adequate when the pinch comes.
 By some means we must see that forest land not needed for agricultural purposes do not lie idle. Require the forest owners, within the limits of equity and common sense, to grow trees but give him fair and reasonable public help.
 Let the national government deter mine and put before each state the measures essential to keep its forest lands in continuous timber crops Let the government offer financial aid to any state which will put into effect and live up to these requirements. Ob- viously the expenditure of national funds must be made safe investment in timber production. This calls for an effective system of forest fire pre- vention. And the federal requirements should also include that the state shall control the cutting of existing timber to the extent necessary to get & new crop started.

QUIET z0NES' NEAR HOSPITALS ARE ID
 BE PROVIDED HERE

Phoenix took another step forward yesterday when the city fathers or dered an ordinance to establish quiet zones" about hospitals. City Attorney Richard F. Sloan was instructed to present a draft of such an ordinance at next weeks meeting of the city com mission.
 Patients in hospitals are frequently disturbed by boys playing in the streets and automobiles travelling at high rates of speed with mufflers open and a dozen and one other noise producing agencies, it was pointed out. It is to abate such nuisances and provide peace and comfort for the sick that the ordi- nance is proposed. Heavy penalty will be provided for violations of the ordi- nance, according to plans.
 City Attorney Sloan was also in structed to draft an ordinance to pre- vent vehicles from driving through a funeral procession.
 Business houses on Van Buren street between Central and First avenues, pe- titfoned the commission for better sprinkling service in that block. The parking of automobiles in the old Gen. tral school block and the ever increas- ing traffic make conditions almost un- l bearable, they said in their petition. Because their contract for paving the alley in Block H, Bennett addition, had expired before an extension was asked, the city commission yesterday refused to grant a time extension. In conse- | quence the paving company will be
 obliged to pay the forfeit. An exten-
 sion of 50 days, was granted on the
 contract for paving Fifth avenue, from ! Van Buren to Fillmore street. | The Santa Fe railroad asked for a | franchise to construct @ track on Har- rison street for the purpose of serving
 as lead ttrack from which to run | spur tracks to serve new industries | This track has been made necessary
 by the unprecedented growth of Phoe-
 nix, the petitioner said. The matter
 was referred to City Engineer l.. B Hitchcock for investigation.

Caruso Passes
 Critical Day
(Continued from Page one)

(Continued from Page One) paper readers in the hotel lobby. on the streets, in the subways, but also from deferential questions from Italian lab orers who shyly requested of the door attendant if he had heard from the singers apartment. In and out of the Metropolitan Opera house passed a stream of persons asking: "1s Caruso still alive?"
 The tenseness was somewhat relieved late today when Bruno Zirato, Caru- sos private secretary, came down for the first time since his chiefs relapse and announced that he now had great hopes."
 This was later supplemented by an unofficial bulletin by the hotel phy- sician, who said:
 MT. Caruso is still holding his gain. His heart action is fully as good as this morning"
 MT Caruso awoke late in the after noon after comfortable sleep and took a little hot coffee. Father Morineli night, and Father Melli, of Paterson. N. J., a personal friend, were allowed to pay short call while MT. Caruso was propped up for this nourishment. Upon leaving, Father Morinelli said the tenors morale was satisfactory. After they had left Caruso remarked: If the priest doesn't come again, am not at an worried. l feel I have made my peace with my God"
 The only members of the family who have been with MT. Caruso, he said, are | Mrs Caruso and their 14-months- old daughter Glori. Enrico. Jr, student in Culver military academy, Indiana, is expected tomorrow. Rudolfo. 21, the other son. is in Florence, Italy.
