"The Mystic," a Metro-Gold-wyn-Mayer
production, which le

melodramatic expose of the mach
inations of fake mediums In
league with banded crooks who
prey on grief stricken people. The
director has carefully refrained
from any reflections on religious
bodies believing In spirit commu
nication, but has built up ono of
the most colorful talcs founded on
a recent expose of fake mediums
and clairvoyants in California.

Gambling For High
Stakes Practiced
On Old River Boats
The Willamette river at one
time was the scene of numerous
gambling games, according to
'Steamboat ' Smith, old time riv
er man, now connected witb the
Salem Navigation company as pi
lot and purser for the steamer
Northwestern on Its run between
this city and Portland.
'Huge sums of money," he
said, "changed hands as the Bteam
era battled against the rapids of
the river.
"Many tales have been told."
he continued, warming up to his
subject, "about the palmy days on
the Mississippi when fortunes
were known to change hands on
the turn of a single card, when
slaves were placed In a row in
lieu of cash to be won or lost on
a game of cards. This pastime on
smaller scale was fashionable
at one time on Oregon rivers.
'In the early days on the Wil ¬
lamette the gambling habit be
came contagious and while the
early pioneers who traveled thru
this section were not millionaires
the card games operated nightly
on the Willamette steamers were
of sufficient size and limit to sat
isfy the most hardened gambler.
At one time during fhls per
iod the captain of one of the riv
er boats would take advantage of
the darkness, fog, or any other ex
cuse he could think of, to land his
boat beside a convenient wood-
yord there were woodyards all
along the bank at that time and
start up a stiff poker game re
gardless of the fact that a major
ity of the passengers would pre
fer to go on, and that many of
them were only a few miles from
their destinations.
