George Cooper, one of tbs cast
"The Oooas Woman," which la coming
to the Rialto theatre Sunday, has be
come the ideal newspaper reporter
type at Universal studios.
Ke has played in many Universal
pictures and moat recently worked in

parte of the cast
“The Goose Woman” is a story about
• murder4-mystery which is followed
closely by newspaper reporters eager
to secure the latest angle. Their dla-
dosurea are what make the story.
Cooper plays the part of Ute reporter
who dose the most effective detective
work in connection with the case.
While he was working with Clarence
Brown on thia production the film of
“Doubling for Cupid,” a forthcoming
release featuring Inara In Plante, was
started at Universal City and Cooper
played in both pictures.
No one would suit the director for
t tie role of press agent in his story ex-
< ept Cooper, ao the young actor was
kept busy hopping from one set to the
othtr for the ten days during which
the two pictures overlspped.
"The Goose Woman" has an all star
cast. Including Jack Pickford, Ixiuixe
Dresser, Constance Bennett, Hpottis-
wood Aitken. George Cooper, Gustav
von Heyffertitx. George Nichols and
Marc MacDermott
The degree of humor of a comedy
drama can l>e accurately measured by a
laugh registering device.
Such a device was used by William
Belter, director, for registering ihe
laughs obtained by Reginald Denny in
his latest picture, "Where Was IT'
which will be screened at the Rialto
theatre next Monday and Tuesday.
Ry means of this machine it was
discovered that while m<*’ people said
"Where Was I?” waa equally funny as
'Til Show You the Town” it was in
reality slightly funnier.
The machine used was a r<*gistering
device which totaled numbers each
time a lever on it was pushed. Reiter
sat la the audience the night the pic
ture was previewed at a Los Angeles
theatre, dntifully pushing the lever
every time a general laugh swept the
audience.
He registered 284 laughs in “Where
Was IF while “I’ll Show You the
Town” registered 277
Hnickera. chuckles and individual
laughs were tarred from the count,
While smiles didn't even gain recognl
tlon amid the laughs and abandoned
shouts of the Joy-ridden audience.
The story with Its funny situations
starts In a directors’ meeting, pro
gresses to a subway train and thence
to a taxi in the open road, where many
adventures befall the party of three,
consisting of Denny, Chester Conklin
•nd Lee Moran. The story ends after
a general mlxup at Denny's apart
ment In which two girls, police and
Irate directors take part.
The story la an adaptation from the
novel by Edgar Franklin, which waa
done by Melville Brown and Rex Tay
lor.
The cast Includes, besides those men
tioned. Tyrone Power. Pauline Garon.
Marisa Nixon, Otis Harbin, William
H. Turner, Tom IJnghain, Arthur Lake
and James Corrigan.
Next Wednesday and Thursday the
Rialto will give its patrons two big
features for the price, of one. The
shows will be: "Time, The Comedian,”
•nd “Night Life of New York.” Char
lev Chase in "Poor Fish" will be the
comedy.
The two features are shows of an
entirely dlfferrat character.
Both,
however, were recently run as first
features by prominent Portland show
houses. The stars in "Time, the Com
edian,” are Lew Cody, Mae Busch and
Gertrude Olmstead.
’ Ernest Torrence takes a lead in
“Night IJfe of New York.” He has sud
denly lx*come the polished gentleman,
and he feels—well, something like the
man who has deserted hia plow and
has donned hia boiled shirt for a day
in the city.
"After all the rough neck roles I’ve
had," be says, "I am almost afraid I
will trip over my stick.”

The following Interesting story of

Pacific Northwest was recently told by
F. B. Olli. historian of the Union Pa*

atory deals mostly with coastwise
transportation. A second story, which
will appear in an early Issue, tells of

American settlement in what are
now the north Pacific states first oc
curred nearly ninety years ago, and
though their number was Initially few
Indeed, and Increased but slowly until
1850, the dtlsens of the United States
who ventured into the preserves of the
Hudson's Bay company and appropri
ated lands in the Willamette valley
were quite early provided with facili
ties for the common carriage of freight
and pasm-iigers. Ttiauka to those who
have seen to the preservation of the
records of current events, the local
newspapers, we are able to obtain
much accurate detailed information re
garding the development of our north
western country. In one of the earliest
lames—that of April 30, 1846—of the
twice a month Oregon Spectator, pub
lished at Oregon City, an Instructive
editorial appeared on the subject of
"Passage of Boats” on the Willamette.
I quote:
"In ths march of Improvement in
our infant colony that of boat convey
ance is fast progressing. We beg to
tail the attention of the public to two
well-built and commodious boats and
of superior mould, now employed be
tween Oregon City and Champoeg.
These ply twite a w«ek upon our
beautiful stream, exporting the staff of
life from our fertile plain above, and
Importing returns from below. But It
is of the accommodation afforded by
them to our fellow citiaens and settlers
that we at present speak. We have
paid a visit to the 'Mogul' and ’Frank-
Un’ and can testify to the ample and
roomy apace alloted abaft for the com
fort of from 15 to 20 passengers.”
it was not for more than two years
after thia that there was a territorial
government of Oregon. Not for four
year» after thia time were there steam
propelled vessels seen on our north
coast rivers or touching at our ports,
other than the Hudson’s Bay company's
steamer “Beaver” which was generally
employed In trading trips between
Puget Hound and the British Columbia
and Alaska coast

International boundary question with
Great Britain In 1846, congress author
ised a mail steamboat service to the
west coast via the Isthmus of Panama.
A contract for a monthly mall service
along the Pacific coast was accordingly
made by the post office department,
which waa assigned November 30, 1847,
lM*f«>re substantial steps bad been taken
for ita carrying out, to W. H. Aspinwall
and associates. Tht*se secured a char
ter for the Pacific MaU and Htesmshlp
company the following April. Thefr
first steamer, the "California,” allied
from New York October 6, 1848, and
reached Han Francisco February 28,
1849, being shortly followed by the
“Oregon” and "Panama.”
The gold
diacoveriea developing led to a stam
pede to the Golden Gate, and the Pa
cific MaU sent no ships to Oregon untU
1860, all ita fleet of eight or ten ves
sel«. several having been added by
purchase, being occupied in transport
ing the army of gold seekers and pro
visions for them to the new El Dorado.
It was in early June, 1850, that the
Pacific Mail began an Oregon service
out of Man Francisco, using for their
first two voyages their steamship “Car
olina.'’ Thia vessel came up the Co
lumbia to Vancouver, and I think to
Portland on both trips which were
alMiut six weeks apart. Thereafter the
service waa to be semi-monthly be
tween Han Francisco and Astoria, but
the schedule waa not overly well main
tained at first.
