CAPTAIN TRASK TRAVERSES TWO MILLION MILES San Francisco (IP) "The first two million miles are the hard est" So sa.vs Cant. J. H. Trask. com mander of the Matson liner Sierra, who is now negotiating his 153rd round trip between San Francisco and Sydney, Australia. The grizzled skipper of the Sierra has been on this same run for 31 years, during which he has travel ed 2,376,398 miles, nils distance is equivalent to nearly 100 times around the world. Doesn't it ever get monotonous?" Capt. Trask was asked. Well, no, I can't say that It does," he chuckled. "The first mil lion miles or so were a little tire some, but you see it has become a habit with me and I don't suppose I'd be satisfied anywhere else. I love the open sea. May be hard for a land lubber to under stand, but I'm always restless in port, can t seem to wait till we shove off again. There is peace and calm out there that you don't find on land." Capt, Trask admitted that the only tiresome feature of his lob was listening to ana oeing expect ed to laugh at the same "wise cracks' frmo tourists day ufter day, and answering the same obvious questions. But even that, he says, is part of the game and he "doesn't mind any more." For Instance, one tourist wui re mark that "there seems to be a lot of water in the ocean today." And another comes back with "Yes, must have had some rain here latelv." still another wants to know it he felt the bump when they crossed the equator. Laughing seems to be one of the easiest things Skinner Trask docs. Creased lines about his mouth and a merry twinkle In his eyes stamp him as a man oi u-repressiDie gooa humor. Yet, he can be and Is se vere when the exigency of his po sition demands. On only one subject is Capt. Trask a bit sensitive, and that is regarding his age. "Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no fairy tales about my age," he smiled. He admitted, however, that he has been on the picturesque South Seas run for 31 years, and that prior to that service he had done "a stretch" on the old windjammers. He first sailed around the Horn in an old sailing vessel In 1893. Capt Trask was born in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, but spent his boynooa aays in Massachusetts, where he first yielded to the call of the sea.

Ore., OPproduclnff ab ility of the individual eow is an im portant determining factor in the costs and consequent profit from any dairy herd at anytime. Fresh evidence of this fact has been brought out in the annual re port of the Malheur county dairy herd improvement association, which has just completed its test ing year under supervision of the county agent's office. Each of the 10 cows with the highest butterfat production produced butterfat at a cost of 13 1-3 cents per pound, and returned their owners each a pro fit above feed of $76.61.

SILENT FILMS STARS BACK IN TALKIE ROLES Hollywood (LP) After a variety of experiences In temporary exile, sev en heroines of silent film days have returned to stardom and near-star dom in recent months. They are: Lois Wilson, Greta Nlasen. Enid Bennett, Louise Brooks, Doris Ken, yon, Dolores Costello and Eleanor Boardman. Miss Wilson had not worked for ten months. She had finally decid ed to go to Europe with Aiirlol Lee and try the London stage. She even booked passage. That was on Fri day. -That night Universal called her for a screen test. Lois had made screen tests be fore without result. "Sorry," she told John Stahl, "but I'm going to Europe." .In Hollywood that's serious busi ness, saying "no." When a person storms the casting offices, he gets the cold shoulder. But Just turn down a proffered Job and the studio is Insistent that no one else will do. At last Miss Wilson said she would take the screen test, but that a de cision must be made on Saturday, She got an Important role In "Seed," with John Boles and Gen evieve Tobln. The part is as the mother of five children. This is somewhat different from her usual roles. But the part promises to re, store her to the screen, which she has known for 15 years. When Milton 8111s died sudden, ly, his wife, Doris Kenyon, cancelled all her concert engagements and de cided to go to Europe. Warner Brothers remembered her work In the early talkie "Interfer ence." They waxed persuasive. I had foresworn pictures," Miss Kenyon said, "but with this offer It seemed foolish to refuse, I was sur prised, though, to play a "young forty," In 'Lou and r. I'm such a long way under that. I looked young enough, anyhow, to be given a long contract and a more youthful role with Walter Huston In "The Upper Underworld." Also, I will be the wife of George Arliss In "Alexander Hamilton'." However, she will have her Euro pean trip soon with concert engage ments in Salzburg, Austria, and Ber lin, Germany. Her heart is still in her siiutltur. Dolores Costello returns to tne screen in the newly completed "Ex pensive Women." Its working title was "The Passionate Sonata." She has changed the most of the seven returning. There was her marriage to John Barrymore and tne Daoy. "Expensive women" finds her In love with a married man and drown ing her sorrow in affairs. Eleanor Boardman married King Vidor, director, before the talkies came In. Two baby girls arrived (not twins). She returned to tne screen to play in "She Goes to War." Then there was "Redemption," and, more recently, "The Great Meadow." She has Just finished "The Squaw Man" and is to do "Women Love Once." Motherhood has made her even more beautiful. ' Enid Bennett Insists that she re ally Isn't "back in pictures" and that she lust accepted the mother role In "Sklppy" for the fun o! it. Louise Brooks had a bad break. She finished "The Canary Murder Case," a silent film, and sailed for Europe. Bangl Along came the tal kies and another voice that of Margaret Livingston was dubbed into the picture to make It a talkie. When Louise returned to the United States, she was out of the running. But she kept trying and now she Is working again, in roles less lm Dortaut than when she left, It 1 true. The case of Greta Nissen is a strange one. She was working In "Hells Angels ' as leading woman when the talkies came along. Her English was too strongly accented. Jean Harlow was substituted. Miss Nissen has been working in stock companies In the East, and, improv ed in English and wearing her clothes better, has returned to work in Hollywood. She Just completed "Women of All Nations- with Ed mund Lowe, Victor McLaglen and El Brendel.

EDITOR WRITES OF TABLOIDIA New York (IF) Emile Gauvreau, managing editor of the New York Mirror and one of the most import ant forces In the development of tabloid Journalism In America, is the author of a novelized expose of tabloid methods called "Hot News;' Just published by the Ma caulley company. Gauvreau. a former New England newspaperman, was given the task several years ago of starting the New York Evening Graphic, a Mac Fadden paper, and personally de veloped many of the sensational phases of gathering and presenting tabloid news. He originated the "composograph" a method of superimposing one picture on another to illustrate an event In the news when It was im possible for the photograph of the actual event to be taken. Gauvreau, In his book, shows how the tabloid editors "make their own new.i" when things are quiet in the newspaper world. He presents a vivid picture of the aggressiveness and enterprise of the editors and re porters on these papers, and of their constant, fevortsh ligfit to nolo ana increase circulation. It is evident from the text of "Hot News" tliat Gauvreau was the an onymous author of the serial "Ad ventures In Tabioidla" that appear ed in a weekly national magazine recently. "Hot News" will soon be pro duced as a talkie by Metrc-Goldwyn Mayer.

PARTIAL POOL OF PRUNE NOW PLANNED At San Jose during the past few meek there has been a suggested movement under discussion by the San Jose Chamber or commeroe. headed by A. M. Mortensen, and the leadership of the Prune Growers Protective League for a partial pool of prunes In California as a possibi lity In lieu of the failure of the State-wide prune pool plan which was abandoned some weeks ago oe cause, largely, of the adverse opln ion of the Prune Association, says the California Fruit News. A par tial State pool of a material ton nage by growers Is under discussion but plans In detail have not yet been given out. There is a question, how ever, whether anything will come of It.

MORTUARY rime 1151 Ckarcb al Ferry St. A. U. Cloath V. I. Dr. L. Bamc OoMeo GARBAGE DEAL AGAIN BEFORE CITY COUNCIL An attempt wilt be made, but a futile attempt, It is predicted, to pass the garbage franchise ordi nance over the veto of Mayor Greg ory, when the city council convenes Monday night. The reason given by the mayor for his veto was an opinion from City Attorney Trlndle holding that the ordinance was void for the reason that it was impossible to grant a franchise to a corporation that did not exist. The Salem Sanitary ser vice, seeking the franchise, has not yet incorporated, but is expected to do so If the franchise wvre allowed and Is still making plans along that line. The mayor, however. Is known to be opposed to exclusive franchises on general principles and no doubt that had a good deal to do with hu vetoing the measure which would have granted the concern an exclu sive garbage hauling franchise for five years and turned over to It the operation of the municipal inciner ator. The strong talking point for the ordinance was that it would re lieve the city of the $6250 annual ex pense of operating the incinerator. Four members of the council voted against the ordinance when It pass ed two weeks ago. Of those who vot ed for it. Alderman Patton will be absent Monday night, hence. In or der to get the necessary 10 votes. It would be necessary for the Sanitary Service to get the vote of at least one member who previously voted against the bill. only a verbal report will ne re--turned by the utilities committee on the Baar & Cunningham water re port, and it will ask further time for consideration. Several meetings of the committee are planned tor the next two weeks, and one prob ably will be a public meeting. The committee will call in the members of the now defunct city water com mission and also will call Engineer J, C. Baar, who was not available to the committee at Its meeting last Friday night for the reason that he was in California. The Kowlts labor bill Is scheduled for third reading Monday night but, according to Alderman Kowltz, may not be reported out until later. The reason for this Is that Alderman O'Hara, one member of the ordi nance committee,' is out of the city and there is doubt whether Alder man Dancy, the third member, Is In accord with Kowita on the measure. As a special order of business the matter of collecting delinquent street assessments will come up. The delinquent list Is a long one and offers matter for delicate considera tion by the council. Alderman Fat ton, who was Instrumental in get ting it made a special order, will not be present. It Is probable that resolutions pro viding for the paving of South Lib ert street at the approaches of the bridge and the paving oi norm Commercial street at tne approacn es of the new bridge in that district will come uo Monday night. The latter also provides for elimination of the "bottle neck" hi that district. BARGAINING IS CUSTOM IN COURT (Continued from psge H dropped by the federal enforcement agencies and prosecutors. "Bar gaining" witn ocicnaants to picnu guilty also speeds up the court's work, the commission saia. As a result there were 682 con victions in the 140 criminal cases in the three years. Ninety-two per cent of them were on pleas of guilty. In 585 prohibition cases, there were 63 convictions. Sixty five per cent of the prohibition cases were disposed of on the day the information or indictment was filed. Eighty per cent of them were disposed of by fines. In all the 10 cases tnere were only nine Jury trials. "The calling of the Jury into almost complete desuettude Is most striking." the commission said. Eight of the trials were In prohibition cases ana three of them brought convictions. Evidence of the "bargaining sys tem between prosecution and de fendants was found In the fact that 05 per cent of those who pleaded not guilty when arraigned before the United States commis sioner changed their pleas to guilty In court.
