illustrated Idaho is the name of
the latest booster publication issued
in Boise, and comprises 20-page
magazine, up-to-date in every parti-
cular, and one which shows up the
resources of the state to good ad-
vantage, thus affording an ideal adj
vertising medium. The cuts of the
leading business houses of Boise and
contains much valuable information
which prospective settlers in the east
would be pleased to receive.
The first article in the magazine
is about Boise and is entitled, '"The
Biggest Little City in the World"
1t is written by Fred Floed, pioneer
of the west, who is editor of the new
publication. A prominent feature of
the magazine is the Development

portrays the work being accomplished

THOSE SWEET THINGS

Luther Burbank, the plant wizard
of California, said of honey, apropos
of a flower that bees love:
This flower grows abundantly
near SAINT Barbara, and there was
once young Californian who often
visited a leading Santa Barbara ho-
tel because they had such excellent
honey there--honey the bees make
from this flower.
well. the young man got married
in due course and the wedding trip
itinerary must include Santa Barbara,
so that the bride must taste this SUI
purb honey. But the first morning
at the Santa Barbara hotel there was
no honey on the breakfast-table. The
bridegroom frowned. He called the
old familiar waiter over to him.
Where's my honey?' he demand
ed.
'"The waiter hesitated, looked awk-
wardly at the bride, then bent toward
the young mans ear, and in a stage
whisper stammered:

more, sir"

ROMANTIC MARRIAGE OF ACAD-
ENVY GIRL
(Salt Lake Herald-Tribune)

A romance which began years ago
eliminated at Pennington yesterday
forenoon, when Harold McCabe, who
captained the victorious football team
of All Hallows college of 1909, and
is now assistant treasurer of the
Colonial theatre was united in mar
rage to Miss Nellie Lee, daughter
of Attorney w. A. Lee of Salt Lake,
by justice of the peace.
Miss Lee has been attending the
Academy of Idaho at Pocatello as a
member of the junior class. About
a week ago she consulted her mother,
Mrs. Lille A. Lee of Blackfoot, Ida,
and obtaining her promise, the we'd
ding day was set for yesterday.
Studies were dropped at the Acad-
envy of Idaho about one week ago in
favor of an extensive course in prac-
tical domestic science and yesterday,
in the presence of her mother, the
young woman was married at Farm
ington.

through the construction of drive
ways, the building of roads and
trails, etc., to the end that stock may
penetrate wherever forage is to be
found and grazing can be permitted.
Through the building of railroads
and the pushing forward of the sys-
tenn of permanent improvements
which has been planned for the Ma
tional Forests of northern Washing
ton, Idaho and Montana, it is believ-
ed that much hitherto unused range
inthese forests will soon be opened
to use. The topography of some OF
the country is such as to make it
available only from the Canadian
side, but American stock owners are
now beginning to work into it from
that side. Aother means of opening
more National Forest range which
is being actively employed by the
Department of Agriculture is the Sc
curig of concessions from railroads
in the form of rates and facilities
for shipping stock in and out of re-
gions where forage is now going to
waste.

SAN FRANCISCO WINS
Capital News)

Washington, Jan. 31.-San Fran
cisco won signal victory in the
house of represen -atives today in the
fight with New Orleans for the Pa
mama exposition. The house voted
1873 to 1853 in favor of taking up the
resolution favoring San Francisco.
The final vote on the resolution will
not be held until 4 o'clock, but the
preliminary vote indicated what the
attitude of the house would be. An
to the San Francisco re-
solution calling for a naval review
in connection with the exposition was
defeated on point of order.
At the request of both houses, an
hours debate was agreed upon for
the presentation of claims of the two
cities yrior to calling the roll. This
roll call was regarded as practically
settling the exposition controversy SO
far as The house is concerned. This
mattcr has yet to be taken up in the
senate.

HOME FOR THE AGED

Five prominent persons in Boise
have associated themselves together
for the purpose of erecting Home
for the Aged of the state. They
have started it off with about ten
thousand dollars pledged. ! B. W.
Rice of Caldwell has been selected to
do the preliminary work prior to
election of directors little later.
Correspond with him, inclosing d
stamp if you hav it. Some times the
aged will be able to pay for their
new home here, and some times they
will NOT be able. All can come
along alike, for we will be able to
care for the rich as well as the poor.
This home will probably be ready
for use in year.

NATIONAL FOREST FIRES SHOW
NEED OF DEVELOPING
WIDER USE OF
RANGE

Washington, Feb. 4.-Reports
based on detailed field examinations
made by National Forest officers, OF
the lands burned over in the forest
fires of last summer in Washington
and Oregon, which have been re-
ceived by the U. S. Department OF
Agriculture, show that the National
Forest timber loss in these States is
about 100000 feet. This is
somewhat than was indicated by the
provisional estimates made shortly
after the fires. The reports also
shom the Importance, as a means OF
protecting the forests against fires,
of the efforts which are being made
by the Department to open new
range to stockmen.
OF the National Forests in Wash
ington and Oregon, that on which the
fires extended over the greatest area
was the Colville, with 100000 acres
burned. The fires on this forest,
however, were chiefly surface, which
are far less destructive than fires
which travel through the crowns Of
the trees. 1t is considered by the
Forest officers that the fires on this
forest point clearly to the value,
from the standpoint of fire preven-
ton, of proper utilization of the
range under regulated grazing. Large
parts of this forest, and also of the
Chelan, Okanogan and other. forests,
are not used by stock because of
their inaccessibility, although good
supply of forage is produced. The
dry grass and other heritage both
spread the flames and made them
flercer ad more destructive than they
would have been if the land had
been grazed.
One of the objects of National
Forest administration is to open all
available range to thes fullest use
consistent with preservation of the
carrying power of the range and pro-
lection of forest growth and water
supplies.
In carrying out this principle,
where good grazing ground are at
present inaccessible to stock the aim
of the National Forest administration
is to open means of communication,

such splendid recognition by he sis

time for rejoicing. There are thous-

state and many will find homes here
as aresult of the publicity at the
Omaha show. The entire expense
was borne by the Boise Commercial
club, but it was put on in a liberal
broadminded basis, advertising the
state as a whole. Great quantities
of Idaho literature was distributed
and more than 1900 written requests
for additional information was left
at the Idaho booth. Mrs. McDougall,
who has spent several months in the

pride in the show, which certainly
merited the splendid attendance.
Hundreds of people paid admissions
third and fourth time to visit the
show, to study the exhibits, ask ques-
ions, attend the lectures and in every
way to gather information about the
different safes.
Each safe was given a lecture
period in the afternoon and again
each evening. Two large lecture halls
were filled each afternoon and even
ing almost constantly. The lectures
covered a period of 25 minutes and a
five minute intermission allowed the
people to change. Mr.. Jones used
colored slides to illustrate his lect-

talked to $1,000 people in these lect-

Moving pictures were used at inter
walls.

.ENTOMgLOGIST TO
LOCATE GOCOANUT
BEETLE IN GUAM
lFrom Monday 5 AdveEtiser.l

(From Mondays AdveEtiser)
David II. Fullaway, entomologist at
the Hawaii agricultural experiment
station, left as passenger for Guam
by the transport Sheridan, which
cleared yesterday for that port and
Manila. There is special bug attack
ing the cocoanuts there, and he has
gone down to make an investigation.
The government has branch station
established at Guam, but there is no
entomologist, and it is the custom to
send one of the men to look after mat
tiers for a period in each year. AS far
as can be gathered, the beetle that is
causing all the damage among the
cocoanuts is of the cutting kind. 1t
gets on the trees and cuts through the
stalk of the nut before it has time to
ripen. This means a serious loss to
the growers of Guam, as cocoanut cul-
ture is one of the staple Industries.
Many things have been tried to get
rid of the pest, but so far without avail
1t is believed that the beetle gets onto
the palms from the ground, and various
expedients have been tried to stop this
In spite of everything the damage still
goes on. Fullaway win try and locate

and stop the damage by using it as .
