Honeymoon Trail

Musical comedy lovers have a
rare treat in store on January
3lst, when the big La Sale Thea
tire (Chicago) success Honey
moon Trail" is the attraction at
the Standard Theatre.
Honeymoon Trail" is the
work of those prolific and clever
authors, Adams, Hough and How
ard, who have previously contrib
uted to the contemporaneous
stage such striking musical sue
cesses as "Tha Time, The Place
and the Girl, "A Stubborn Gin
derella," etc The plot is plaus-
ible, the comedy situations ex-
tremely funny, the dialogue spark
ling, the music exceptionally cat
chy, the production massive and
the costumes beautiful. These
elements of theatrical success,
combined with a great cast of
musical comedy notables, among
whom are Louis Kelso, Airline
Boiling and Fred Wyckoff, go to
make up an attraction Of superla-
tive merit. The famous LaSalle
Theatre chorus, thirty strong, is
a feature.

Idaho Senate Asks Passage Of the
Harner Lieu Land Bill

Public land belonging to Idaho
worth $8,000,00O at the minimum
price Of $40. an acre-800,0O0-
acres is involved in a memorial
now in the hands of the state af-
fairs committee of the senate.
This memorial was introduced
by Senator Abner G. Kerns at the
morning session of the senate
yesterday. 1t went Immediately
to the state affairs committee
and as congress will adjourn
March 4, it was urged by Sena-
tor Kerns that it be given prompt
attention as it must pass the
house also before becoming effec-
tive.
In the memorial it is set forth
that large areas of sections 16
and 36 in every township granted
to the state Of Idaho by the act
of congress OF July 3, 1890, have
been embraced within forest re-
serves and that it is necessary
for the state to have the right
to make indemnity selections and
have them excluded from the ma
tional forests.
In view of this condition con-
gress is petitioned to enact a law
providing for the adjustment of
the claims of the states and terri
tories to lands within the nation
al forests in accordance with
house resolution 1854, calendar
No. 59l, which passed the house
