The essential problem, Lewis points
out, Is simply one Of the disposition Of
the remaining privately owned lands,
which we're held by private interests be-
fore Yosemite Park was created These
lands we're acquired by their owners be-
cause Of their timber value and they
are entitled to compensation just the
same as If the lands did not happen to
be located within the borders Of Ma
tional park.
Officials of the National Park Service
have repeatedly pointed out that private
lands within national park boundaries
cannot be preserved by the park service.

Company was coming and the jack

the departing guests when the Jack

Isn't it so!
We are likely, also, to assume quite
regularly company manners when
there are guests at the house. Mr.

Jackson may step or fall into her
chair at the table as much as she
pleases.

THE MICHIGAN KID" AT

Tonight is the last showing of
Billie Dove in The Night Watch"

vaudeville at the Strand which has
been pleasing patrons this first part
OF the week.

mantlc, exciting novel of Alaska in
gold rush days than The Michigan
nd the film. version of which will
open at the Strand theater on Thurs
day with Conrad Nagel and Renee
Odoree co-starring.
Universal has turned out a thrill
ling photoplay from the story set in
the colorful times of gambling
houses, dance halls and rough men
when the gold fever gripped the
country.
Nagel enacts the role of a famed
gambler and Miss Adoree of a girl
from the states. The story is es-
sentially romance.
The Michigan Kid" is a special,
made at great expense, with an eN-
tensive location trip and tremendous
sets. Many weeks We're spent in the
forests near Sacramento, Calf,
where the pine trees are the same
species as found in Alaska. Here the
vast panorama of CalifOrnia's noun
tain splendor was captured on the
screen at time of year when the

The vaudeville program will have
five splendid acts headed by Bob

IN many state conventions back to
the days when the late Rollin S.

IN the handling of New Haven

two worked in unison there were
periods when they pitted their
strategy against each other, the

matters in detail for in the eighth
district there was no opposition to
nomination of Mrs. Hannah Towns

But the view had been held in some
quarters that MIR. Hoyt had been
taken care of by his recent appoint

OF a term in the house rightly had
ampluons to move into the upper
branch. In the ninth district Senator
