BOISE JUDGES RULE
on THE LIQUOR LAW

For some time there has been an
interesting discussion regarding the
dry laws OF Idaho. the possession OF
liquor and the like. and the trans
portation of the same. and II has beer
held that both transportation AM
possession were illegal by the courts
and many individuals have paid tn
penalty. both in money and In Jail
sentences. for the construed Infrac
tiona.
According to the decision OF Judg,

The informations charged the de-
PENDANTS with transporting intoxicat

with having liquor In their posses

; II was argued that the statewid

FOREST SERVICE IS
ADDING PUBLIC LAND

Washington, Dec. 13.-As a result
Of land classification work, more thar
100000 acres were eliminated fro1r
the national forests in the last fisca
year, and in addition, over 1,100 in
dividual tracts within the forests were
made available for homestead entry,
according to the annual report of Hen
ry S. Graves. chief of the Forest Serv-
ice, which emphasizes the necessarily
permanent character of the national
forests, and points out the Importance
Of definitely determining the status
Of the land which the forests con-
tain.
"The national forests" says Mr..
Graves, "are gaining in stability
through the land classification work.
l. is important for the general pub
lie to know what lards are to be re
tanned permanently by the government
and what lands will be available for
agricultural settlement. The whole
forest enterprise is based on the as
sumption of permanenee. All the
work is conducted with view to con-
structive development of the property
and its constantly increasing useful
ness.
every timber sale is made with a
view to future consequences. The work
OF protection from fire is not only to
prevent the destruction Of standing
timber, but to save young growth and
encourage natural reproduction on
lands which have been injured by pre-
vlous abuse. Millions of trees are
established each year which will not
come to maturity for very long time

Great Excitement at Calipa-
tria Over Unusual An
nOuncement.

Calipatria, Dec. 12.-There was
considerable excitement around town
this morning, especially among realty
men and investors, when the an
nouncement was made that the Is
acres on Main street, Calipatria, sur
rounding the new $4,000 school, was
for sale at $3.50 per acre.
Everybody agreed that the party
who took advantage Of this offer and
bought this acreage at this figure
would double or treble their money in
a very short time because it adjoins
the best residential section and the
general activity is so very strong
now and the demand for homes SO
great that this piece is about ripe for
subdivision.
Everyone is enthusiastic over the
prospects here now for great pros
perity wave and, with the new branch
railroads being started, the cottonseed
Oil mill surety for another year, they
know nothing can stop this town from
becoming one of the livest and best
towns in the Valley.
Later reports say that besides this
Is acres there are several business
lots on Main street and some resi-
Dental property that is for sale at
q price way below their real value.
Mr.. T. A. johnson, who has this
acreage for sale, as well as many other
Straps in town lots and smaller acre
age, says that he will be glad to have
any and all interested parties write
him or call on him at Calipatria re-

Marriage of Molly-O" at Palace.

Marriage OF MOlly-O at falace.
"The Marriage of Molly-O," the new
Triangle play featuring Mae Marsh
ard Robert Harron, is a romantic
story of Irish people, laid in the most
romantic of locations, Ireland itself.
1t could not possibly be complete with
out some reference to the little peo-
pie, who, as everyone knows, work
the livelong day and night to correct
the wrongs done by humans. They
are, in short, the poetic justice Of a
great nation.
1t is said that there has never been
a play presented on the screen so
true to the national spirit as this.
There are jaunting cars, land agents,
pigs, cabbages, potatoes, fights and a
real Irish fair-with the hero no.
bleman in disguise who does not make
himself known until he is sure of the
true affection of the girl of his heart.
A two-part comedy will also be
shown.

rrise."
The need for consolidating land
ownership where government and pri-
vate lands are interlocked is pointed
out by MIR. Graves. Congress has, ho
states, already authorized an exchange
Of lands on the Florida, the Oregon
and the Whitman national forests. I'm
der the same policy, exchanges have
been or are being negotiated with
South Dakota, Montana, Idaho and
Washington for school lands in the ma
tional forests located in those states.
The consummation of three of these
exchanges now awaits final approval
by Congress.
Other measures which will have a
far-rea ching significance in relation
to the permanence of the national for
ests, says the report, are the appro-
priation by Congress at its last ses-
sion of $1O,OO0,OOO for the contraction
of roads within the forests and that
Of S3,OOO,OOO to extend the national
forests in the eastern mountains by
purchase.
The appropriation for the construc-
ton of roads will permit the opening
UP of regions heretofore inaccessible,
will greatly increase the use OF the
resources in the forests, will shorten
lines of travel across the states and
between communities, will stimulate
prospecting and mining in mineral re-
eions and will aid community upbuild-
ing. & tri
The Importance of having public
forests at the headwaters OF import
ant streams has been recognized and
greatly emphasized through the ap-
preparation of S3,OO0,000 for continued
purchases of lands begun under the
So called Weeks law. The work of es-
tablishing these forests has been
started under the most favorable aus
rices, and it's discontinuance would
have been particularly unfortunate
