OLD SOL TO STAY
ON Job AS Of OLD
"Nervous Persons" Reas-
sured by Prof. Russell, in Ad-
dressing Scientists.
Postmaster General. "

Although the sun hurls out into
space 100000 tons of energy every
second. it has grown neither hotter
nor colder, to any appreciable extent,
in the last billion years, and nervous
persons may rest assured that it will
keep going" for another 49, 600 billion
years at least, Prof. II. n. Russell of
Princeton University told the Ameri-
can Association for the Advancement
of Science today
There is no doubt that the stars, of
which the sun is one, Prof Russell
declared. gradually cool off-some
even evaporate or devour their own
bodies-and that this world must look
forward to time when it's source of
light and life will become a darkened
sphere. But that day Is too distant
for the mind of man even to compre-
bend as yet.
Speaks mt Joint Session.
Speaking on the subject of stellar
evolution, DR.. Russelrs address, de-
livered before a joint session of the
sections on mathematics, physics and
astronomy of the American Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Science.
is regarded by scientists here as one
OF the outstanding features of the
associations convention, which is
nearing its close.
Before SCIENCE can learn the full
story of stellar evolution. which
would bare the story of our creation,
DR.. Russell said, it must approach
it just as the botanist approaches
natures open book on the evolution
of the flora. A layman can walk into
any, forest, see the seeds fall, watch
the fallen carcasses of dead ones and
soon understand the sotry Of the for
est.
"Our only hope" the speaker con-
tinued, Ito determine the evolution of
the stars is by a similarly simple
method. First, We must place the
stars that we can see in their orderly
sequence. There are two methods by
which to classify them-by their
brightness and their color. When
this has been done we can approach
our problem with a clearer under
standing of where we are going and
what we are going to do"
Color Reveals Heat.
The color of the stars, Dr. Russell
said, tells their surface heat White
stars are hot, yellow ones not quite
SO hot, and red ones comparatively
cool. The sun, although it radiates
enough heat to burn the skin of a
human being who remains within
reach of it's rays during the Summer
months, has a surface temperature
of only 5000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Sirius temperature Is 10, 200 degrees,
and there are some stars whose sur
face temperatures possibly exceed
10000 degrees.
Mankind looks upon the sun as the
ultimate of brightness, but there are
countless stars many times as bright.
Betelgeuse. for instance, is a thousand
times as bright, and by comparison
with the other celestial bodies the
sun would be classed as one of the
fainter stars. The bigger the star,
the speaker continued, the younger it
is; the smaller, the older. The ex-

NEWS THERE STATE OF ARIZONA
SHEEPMEN AGAINST
FOREST REDUCTIONS

Cooperative marketing of agricul-
tural products was endorsed by the
Arizona Wool Growers association in
resolution passed at the closing ses-
sion Of the annual midwinter business
meeting, which ended at the Hotel
Adams, Phoenix, Saturday afternoon.
The wool growers also declared in
favor of a congressional investigation
of proposed reduction in cattle and
sheep now grazing in the forest re-
serves of the state, declaring that the
reduction will bring about great
economic disturbance throughout the
area affected by the order and will re-
suit in the bankruptcy of many stock
men. The resolution also declares
that the proposed reduction in range
animals will reduce the taxable wealth
of the northern counties to the amount
of 81 100000 thereby adding greatly
to the burden Of taxation now already
heavy in these counties.
A resolution was passed asking the
secretary of agriculture to withhold
his approval of the forest range APP
praisal until such time as the agri-
cultural advisory committee appointed
by President Coolidge has investigated
range conditions on the forest reserve
and rendered report relative to these
conditions. The senate bill introduced
by Senator Ralph H. Cameron waving
forest grazing fees for one year
was endorsed by resolution.
The members expressed thanks to
President Coolidge for the interest he
is showing in the livestock and agri-
cultural industries of the west.
David Hamer Of Kansas City de-
clared that he believes Arizona lambs
brought better prices throughout the
past year than at any other time since
the close of the war and that they
were equal in quality to those shipped
from other sections of the country.

FORMER BANK PRESIDENT
RETURNS TO FACE CHARGES

P. K. Lewis, former president Of
the Central Bank of Phoenix, which
closed it's doors permanently in Feb
ruary, 1922, and against whom eight
criminal charges are now pending,
was arraigned Friday before Superior
Judge Nj. T. Phelps at Phoenix on a
charge Of embezzlement contained in
a secret indictment returned by the
last county grand jury. The defend
ant has been released in $4,000 bail.
The appearance of Lewis, for whom
an extensive search had been made
for more than a year, came as dis
tinct surprise.
Last summer Lewis was reported
under arrest in Kansas but officers
sent to return him were informed that
he was not in custody.
Filing of the charges against Lewis
grew out of Investigations which fol-
lowed the final closing of the Central
bank The institution first closed in
the summer Of 1922, but was reopened
in the fall and continued to function
until February in the following year.
Mr.. Lewis had formerly owned stock
in the Central bank, but disposed of
his interests, it was stated, before the
institution was closed for the first
time.

CATTLE AND SHEEP MEN
MET FOREST OFFICIALS

Cattle and sheep growers of the
Salt River valley attended a confer
ence Saturday in the offices of t. I.
Swift, supervisor of the Tonto ma
tional forest, and discussed plans for
modifying the proposed reduction Of
the number Of stock on forest ranges.
Two plans were advanced by the
forest service officials, who included
District Forester Frank w. c. Pooler
and John Kerr, chief of grazing, from
Albuquerque, N. M.
The permittees declared the new
order of reduction is too drastic and
could be modified.
The officials presented two possible
plans for relief, both of which aim to
bring about approximately the same
results as aimed at in the reduction
order and at the same time to cause
less financial loss to the cattle and
sheep growers.
The plans were outlined to those
present and the cattle and sheep men
were given several days in which to
consider the question before again
meeting with the forest service Off
cials.

THREE STATE CONTRACT
PROVIDED In CONDITIONAL
RATIFICATION PROPOSAL

A concurrent resolution that would
ratify the Colorado river compact,
provided that the states of California
and Nevada enter into an agreement
with Arizona concerning the distribu-
ton of the water allotted to the three
lower basin states, was introduced in
the state senate Friday by Senator
Sims of Cochise county.
The resolution provides that, inn
mediately upon acceptance of the
terms of the separate agreement by
California and Nevada, the pact auto
matically is ratified by Arizona's leg
islature.
The supplementary agreement which
would be added to the compact as
drawn at Santa Fe in 1922 provides
that the state of Nevada shall con-
troll and regulate in perpetuity 100000
acre feet annually of the water allot-
ted to the three lower basin states.
The remainder of the allotted water
of the lower basin states then is to be
divided equally between California and
Arizona by agreement, except that the
proviso is made that the waters of
the Gila river shall belong exclusively
to Arizona and shall not be considered
at all in the distribution of the water.
The supplementary agreement also
would give to the separate states the
right to collect fees, royalties and
taxes from hydro-electric plants that
might be built on the river.
The resolution stipulates that, un-
less California, Nevada and the United
States government accept the condi-
tions of the supplementary agreement
within four years, it will be considered
as rescinded.
Resolutions introduced simultan-
eously in the house and senate Satur-
day call for convention between Ari-
zona, California and Nevada to settle
the differences with regard to the
distribution of the waters of the lower
basin of the Colorado river and pro-
vide for the ratification of the Colo
RADIO river compact if the other states
will agree to accept the rules of the
convention.
Rules were suspended in the house
and a resolution calling for the APP
pointment of three members of the
senate, selected by the president, three
members of the house, picked by the
speaker, and the governor to meet
with like delegation from California
and Nevada, passed by a vote of ST
to 7.
The resolution declares that the
distribution of the water between the
basins is essentially fair, but that the
rights of Arizona in the lower basin
are not protected sufficiently.

GRAZING FEES RAISE
GRADUALLY AFTER rs
SECRETARY GORE SAYS

Charges for grazing cattle and
sheen on national forests will not be
increased during 1925 and 1926 it was
announced by Secretary Gore of the
department of agriculture.
IF increases are affected after 1926
only one-quarter of the sum will be
added in any one year, the secretary
said
Meanwhile new schedules Of grazing
charges are being prepared by the de-
partment which plans to put into eff
feet without delay any reduction of
these decided upon. The schedules are
being drawn up in conference with
livestock interests and viii be based
upon range appraisals recently COM
pleted
The presidents agricultural com
mission in its report on the livestock
situation recommended that no in
crease be made in grazing fees until
the cattle industry rests upon a firm
financial footing and urged that uni
form policy be worked out on the
grazing of unappropriated public land.

SOME DIFFERENCE IN
THESE HIGHWAY BIDS

Though the six California, Arizona
and FL Paso bidders all are veterans
in road construction, broad range
was shown in the bids for the last nine
miles of the Phoenix-Prescott high
way, a section between Congress juno
ton and Yarnell. The lowest bid, that
of Schmidt & Hitchcock, of Phoenix,
was 1852, ,712, while a Los Angeles
firm submitted an estimate of $31O,-
322. The state will furnish $4,000
worth of material and will add 10 per
cent for engineering.
The new highway will furnish easy
motoring from Phoenix to Prescott, q
distance of only 113 miles, compared
with about 140 by the present route,
via Skull Valley. Hope is expressed
that the road will be open during the
coming summer.

5 MILLIONS NEEDED
IN ARIZ. ROAD PLANS

The annual report of State Engineer
w. G. Lefebvre states that the mini
mum requirements that are evident
now for five year road program
necessitates an expenditure of not less
than $5,000,000 a year.
This amount would be apportioned
100000 for maintenance, $1,500,00O
for additional gravel surfaced roads
and bridges, S2,500, 900 for paving, and
100000 for general overhead and re-
newal of equipment.
''This is not a large highway pro-
gram in Arizona" the report states,
.and is very little in excess of the
average highway program of the past
five years.
"In the event of bond issue for
this purpose" the report continues,
"this program should be increased par
ticularly as regards new construction
and paving to total of from $6,000,
900 to S7000,000 a year"

MAY REDUCE
STOCK RATE 35 PER CENT

Railroads operating in Arizona were
authorized by the interstate commerce
commission Friday to make q tenn
porary reduction of 35 per cent in
rates on cattle and sheep moving from
points in that state into Colorado, New
Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
The rates would have increased
freights from 10 to 30 per cent on al
most any commodity moving over the
routes. The commission held they
were not justified. The increases
were held up at the time of filing to
await an investigation.
The roads will be allowed to main
tain the reduction until March 25 in
order that range stock may be shipped
to territory outside Arizona for feed
ing.

HOT AFTER OIL AT
YUMA; SHOWN in WELL

Oil rigs are on the ground and drill
ing operations for thorough test
and examination of Yuma oil forma-
tions is starting this week, and the
prophecy made by oil experts of ma
tional prominence two years ago that
this entire section was probably a
vast reservoir of oil is about to be
proved.
Large lessees, working through a
local syndicate, have been busy for
weeks securing leases, and present
plans are to sink at least three thou
sand feet or more to prove the actual
existence of the local field.
That the stratas below us are oil
bearing has been proved beyond doubt
by the seepage in the Southern Pa
cific well. This well, carried to a
depth of 400 feet, and then abandoned,
now has II feet of oil, which has
seeped in.-Yuma Herald.
