Devils Lake, N. D., March 26.-The
supreme court of the United States
has recently affirmed, on appeal from
the supreme court of North Dakota, a
decision of Judge CIV. Buttz of Dew
lis Lake in case arising in Benson
county wherein it was held that when
one files on government land he takes
it subject to the right Of the public to
use the section lines through or by it
as highways and that no compensation
need be paid the landowner for the
and so taken for road purposes.
The question considered from a
state wide standpoint, is very I'M
portant one, as it determine the right
of land owners to recover for land TAX
en- by highways n section lines valu-
ed at millions of dollars. The action
came from Lallie township, a thlnly
populated portion of the Indian reser-
vation.
The township board refused to al
low damages for land taken in open
ing road on section line that cut
through the center Of a farm. Judge
Buttz held that when congress in
1866 granted right Of way over the
public domain for the construction of
highways and in 1871 the Territory Of
Dakota accepted, that grant the right
of the public became fixed and that
such roads might be opened without
the payment of: damages or compensa-
ton to anyone; that one filing on
government land subject to that right
in the public. The case went to the
supreme court of the state and thence
to the supreme court .of the United
States.
From West Bay township, in the
same county, comes another road case
Of equal Importance. In this case the
question arises whether it is neces-
sary to have any proceedings before
the township board to open a road on
the section line. This was also tried
before Judge Buttz and recently sub,
mitted. The township contends all
section lines are public roads without
any such proceedings. The court has
the case under advisement.

The boys on the team had a won-

UP IN MABEL $ ROOM COMING ID THE ELkS JANUARY 13 AND A

Could anything be more harmless than a pink chemise? And, for that matter could anything be more inSig nificant than an acorn from which pinkk chemise-which unfortunately had a tell-tale inscription-that all the complications arose that made Garry so unhappy, his wife jealous, and made one of the great farce hits of the decade out of Up in Mabel's Room the famous New York success which A. H. WoodsA will present at the Elks theater on Tuesday and Wednesday. January 13 and II with matinee We'd nesday.
 Playgoers all over the country are familiar with Mir Woods flair for farces, and his never-to-b be forgotten hits. "Parlor. Bedroom and Bath.' "The Girl from Rector's,' The Girl in the Taxi" Potash and Perlmutter," and a host of others. Yet all New York was unanimous in declaring that Up In Mabers Room" was the funniest farce that had come from the Woods office in it's whole history. It filled the Eltinge theater New York city, for months after having broken all records in Boston. It is. as has already been mentioned. the story of a series of complications caused in the life of a newly married man by a pink chemise. which he had in his bachelor days given to a beautiful girl and thought lessly inscribed. The chemise and the owner turned up at a house party where the newly married hero was spending his honeymoon. His attempts to recover it from a threatening wom- an and thereby save his domestic hap piness, furnish the chief action of the play. The plot moves to Mabels bed room and even as far as Mabefs bed. But the difficulty is not solved until the story has gathered more laughs than ship does barnacles. The pro- duction is a beautiful and elaborate one and ought to he specially interest ing to women on account of its display Of new modes in gowns and lingerie. The company has been carefully se- lected.

SIX FEET FOUR" AT COLUMBIA WITH
 WILLIAM RUSSELL

The 1920 model of hold-up tool is not gun. but a good solid poker, with eff fective reinforcement in the form of the odor of frying bacon and steaming coffee.
 At least. that's the pattern of weapon used in the exciting holdups featured in Six Feet Four" the breezy, breathless. adventure drama which opens three day engagement at the Columbia theater next Thurs day. Lovely Vola Vale it was who perpetrated the stick-up, and athletic William Russell was the amused vic tim of her o-money- no lunch ulti- matum.
 Six Feet Four" more than lives up 10 all the good things that have been heard about it during the six months 1t has been in preparation at one of the leading California studios. It's a special super feature in six big reels and it gives abundant proof of the pains taking care that was bestowed upon every detail of it's production. It is based upon the stirring novel by Jackson Gregory, one of the best sell ers' of the day.
 In addition to the stars there is a splendid cast. boasting such familiar figures of the silversheet as Harvey Clark. Charles K. French, Clarence Burton. Jack Collins, Al Garcia. Jack Bramall, Calvert Carter, Perry Banks John Cough and Anne Schaffer

A DAUGHTER OF THE
 SUN'' COMES ID ELKS

The Hawaiian Islands are the home of the Kanaka. He is a son of the tropics and has evolved many things typically his own. The most pro- nounced of these is his music. The sad and plantive melodies tell of his own isolation in the midst of the Pa cific. Hawaiian music has swept oHr land the past few years as nothing of the kind ever did before. We hear it everywhere and everyone seems to en- joy it. The new play coming to the Elks theater soon "A Daughter of the Sun" a tale of an. Hawaiian butterfly written by Lorin Howard and Ralph T. Kettering is the latest play founded on these islands of the Pacific. The story abounds in mystery and intrigue. The secret service of the U. s. A. is intro duced combating the machination of the Jap. The cast is one of unusual size. The scenery is massive ana beautiful. The volcanic eruption in the last act is the acme of stage mech anism and realism. The company also carries a troupe of native Hawaiian singers and musicians and the atmo- sphere of Hawaii is maintained throughout.
 The Mutual Play company, the pro- ducers, have spared no expense or ef- fort in making this a play really worth while.

i JOHNNY GET YOUR GUN'' STARTS TODAY
 BY LAWRENCE CO.

Beginning with a matinee this after noon, continuing throughout the week with matinees Wednesday and Satur- day. the Del $. Lawrence players will present Johnny Get Your Gun" John Cort's recent success at the Criterion theater in New York City, a the Elks theater in Phoenix. This will be one of the first presentations of this great American comedy drama on the road.
 This great laugh play is unique in construction and the speaking stage dips, for d few moments, into novel, land to introduce the hero. The au- thor has taken a cowpuncher, tempo rarily a stunt man in a California movie studio. transplants him into a fashionable Long Island home and gives him the chance of life time to enlighten the east on ther ways of the real wild west. The story of Johnny Get Your Gun" is set in a highly hu morous vein and the playing abounds with numberless situations that will cause tremendous outbursts of laugh ter. Johnny Wiggins is selected by his pal, Bill Burnham. to impersonate the latter in an important mission to the east. Bill cannot go himself for he is languishing In jail for killing a sheep herder. an act commendable in the eyes or all true cowboys. Bills sister, Janet, is unable to marry and retain her inheritance without the sanction of Bill. and the time has come when Bills sanction is desired. Bill cannot escape from his place of abode. so he impresses Johnny into the character of himself. sister Janet has not seen Bill since she was tot. Bert Whitney has discovered Bills predicament and is delegated to annex Johnny's serv- ices. They arrive at the fashionable home of the Burnhams and as Brother Bill. Johnny declares against the duke Janet has selected for a husband. Janet agrees to elope, but Johnny dis covers the move in time to lasso the duke and break up solid mass for nation. He then puts reason in the mind of designing financier, who is set on procuring the Burnham for tune, at the point of a six shooter and ends his crude, although heroic, actions by marrying the little parlor maid of the family.
 From the very moment the curtain rings up on the prologue to the end of the last act there is naught but action and laughs to Johnny Get Your Gun" and every member of the Del S. Lawrence players will be ideally cast. in fact there are, in all, sixteen characters in the play and the extra parts have been very well filled. A splendid stage setting his been provided and every effort will be made to make this production the gala event of tlfe winter season. Seats are there is to be no advance in prices.
