Many are really looking for lo cations and the general consensus of opinion is that nowhere have the tourists found a country so in viting as the Willamette . valley and Salem. ' , ' R. P. Roe and family, of Flor ence, Ariz.f! are at the park. They are looking for the right kind of a locality to make their home- Mr. Roe will, remain over the state fair. .. ' 'y -; C'l- D. E. Groves of Sterling, Colo., registered at the park and l is a prospective (buyer. T. II. Keough of Le Mars, la., likes this country and is looking for a farm. H. Sal vison of San Diego announces that he intends io locate near Salem M. E. Nelson of Ancortes, 5 Wn., will probably locate. in the valley. H. avison of Boise registered yesterday, f He sold out hisjdaho dairy and intends to locate' near Salem. L. E. Harvey ot Des Moines, la., is looking jover the country and expects to live in Oregon. . ; , ; ' G. T. Johnson, -whose family in cludes a wife and six children came all the way from Dallas, Tex., and says the Salem country fills the bill. f Another James Oliver Curwood story and another popular str come to the Oregon theater todiy to further brighten up the already brilliant offerings of the Guthrio theaters for state fair week. The jplay is "The Alaskan," and the star is none less than Thomas Meighan, the greatest character interpreter of outdoor roles on the screen today. Opposite him In the feminine lead is E&tel.e Taylor. Replete with gripping situations and enhanced by magnificent na tural scenic locations "The Alas kan" is rated as one of the great est productions of the year. The photography is said by critics o be a revelation of what the cam era can accomplish. In bringing the grandeur of the .wild wastes to the crowded comfort of a mod ern' city. ' There is not a weak cene in the picture, but there are enough marvelously gripping incidents in each of the seven reels to fill a book in the telling. -Opening with an accurate reproduction of the great gold rush into the frozen north during the late nineties, the action flows -rapidly through a series xf situations that are com pelling -in their appeal. : The de struction of the grave of ileigh an's mother and the vengeance that follows close' upon (t in tin -fight between Meighan and AI phon Ethler offer , stirring spec tacles, and the leap of Miss Tay lor over the side of the great ship has lew parallels in film produc tion. " ; f The production will remain o i the Oregon program until Satur day. .
