GREAT NORTHERN RY. PLANS
EXTENSION TO CALIFORNIA

klamath Falls, Ore, Feb. H.
Extension of the Great Northern
railway from klamath Falls into
California, to connect with a pro-
posed northerly extension of the
Western Pacific from Paxton or
Keddie, Calf, will be undertaken
as soon as approval can be obtain
ed from the interstate commerce
commission. This was announced
here today by c. N. Christopher
son, Great Northern general agent
here.
Applications for approval of the
proposed lines were filed with the
commission today, Mr.. Christoph-
erson was advised by w. P. Ken
ney, Great Northern vice president
and director of traffic.
The Great Northern proposes to
build approximately So miles of
new line south from klamath
Falls to Lookout, Modoc county,
Calf. while the Western Pacific
will build about 120 miles north
from Paxton or Keddie, stations
on it's main lines. The Western
Pacific is controlled by Arthur
Curtis James, one of the largest
individual stockholders in the Hill
lines.
The Great Northern is a joint
owner of the Spokane, Portland
and Seattle railway, and of the
Burlington system, which in turn
owns the Colorado and Southern
and the Fort Worth and Denver
railways. The Western Pacific and
Missouri Pacific own the Denver
and Rio Grande which connects
with the Western Pacific at Salt
Lake and the Missouri Pacific at
Pueblo, Colo.
The proposed new route be-
tween San Francisco on the south
and Portland-Spokane on the north
is free from mountain barriers.
A California outlet for the Great
Northern was the objective of
James j. Hill, its founder when
he began an extension south from
the Columbia in 1909.
The Great Northern last year
completed its line to klamath
Falls by an extension from Bend,
Ore, where it connects with the
Spokane, Portland and Seattle.
Part of the way between Bend and
klamath Falls the Great Northern

AND BORAH
In PROHIB. DEBATE
TWO FIERY SENATE ORATORS
BATTLE WITH WORDS
GALLERIES TANNED

Washington, Feb. 1S.-Two mas
ters of oratory-Jim Reed of Mis-
souri, and William E. Borah of
Idaho-took opposing sides in the
senate Monday and for three and
a half hours spoke to a tensely
listening chamber on the problems
of prohibition.
Reed denounced the law in a
continuation of the speech he be-
gan on Saturday. Borah made a
laundering appeal for law enforce
ment. Neither was interrupted
and the promise of thrust and
counterthrust which had filled the
galleries faded as the Missourian
walked over to the seat of the
senator from Idaho at the end of
the discussion and warmly grasp
ed his hand.
Reed began his speech Monday
by again describing the law as a
"hideous crime" After two hours

again when the Idahoan had con-
cluded but Senator Hefin of Ala

ever Reed had intended to say
went unsaid.
The silver-haired Missourian e

by his own dictate, and, as if to
express an eulogy on behalf of the
senate, Senator Borah at the out
set of his remarks expressed re-
gret at the passing of the man
whose industry, courage and
have placed him among the
foremost men in his day"
Shake Hands
Sitting as usual beside Senator
Sheppard of Texas, the father of
the 18th amendment, Senator
Reed, his face flushed, listened to
his colleague on the republican
side of the aisle and when he was
unable to get in a reply walked
over to shake hands with Borah
1T the finish.
There was nothing personal in
discussion. Reed in his
measured words pleaded for state
as the answer to law
violation and as a means of Kidding
America of its "snoopers and spies,

,een employed with our money to
haunt our doors"

has joint usage of the Southern
Pacific company's Cascade line
which it won in a two-year fight
before the interstate commerce
commission.
The three trade arteries which
would be created by the construc
ton of the proposed 200 miles
of line in California would be as
follows:
A second rail link between
San Francisco and Portland, af.
fording competitive rail facilities
for the first time for the entire
distance between the Canadian
and Mexican borders.
A direct rail link between San
Francisco, Spokane and the inland
northern tier of states, which it is
believed, would develop commerce
between the northwest and Cali
fornia.
A third and more direct artery
between the Pacific northwest and
the states of the lower Mississippi
valley.
The persistence of the Great
Northern over a long period of
years is getting its lines into
southern Oregon, which it finally
accomplished about a year ago,
was generally accepted as fore
casting the linking of the Great
Northern and Western Pacific,
despite repeated assertions by
Great Northern officials that the
rich timber res adjacent to Klam-
ath Falls was their sole objective.

MANY STARS SEEN
In SHOW PEOPLE
CHAPLIN, FAIRBANKS, DANE,
GILBERT, HART La ROGUE
ACTS AS EXTRA

When King Vidor was filming
Show People," due at the Liberty
Theatre Thursday and Friday, in
which Marion Davies and William
Haines are co-starred, he got
around that part of the script
which calls for the appearance of
a number of motion picture stars
rather handily.
Figuring that Charlie Chaplin
probably could play himself, in
the picture of life behind the
scenes al Hollywood, just as we'll
as, if not a bit better than any
other actor, he got Chaplin to do
that particular bit out of friend
ship. So Chaplin does a scene
with Miss Davies, in which he is
himself, not in comedy costume;
Harry Crocker, Chaplin's studio
manager, also does a bit.
In the same way, when Vidor
wished to show a group of famous
picture players at lunch, he didn't
have a number of extras disguise
themselves as the characters, but
persuaded the characters themsel-
yes to play themselves. Thus, in
the luncheon scene, the extras
are: Douglas Fairbanks, who does
a bit of juggling, William S. Hart,
Norma Talmadge, John Gilbert,
Mae Murray, Rod LaRocque, Renee
Adoree, Leatrice JOY, George X.
Arthur, Karl Dane, Aileen Pringle,
Claire Windsor, Estelle Taylor,
Dorothy Sebastian and Polly Mo-
ran.
Marion Davies also plays her
self in a bit in the film, as does
Elinor Glyn, Lew Cody, Vidor,
himself, and other notables of the
film colony. There are many back
stage scenes in the Metro-G oldwyn-
Mayer studio, where the picture
was made.
Miss Davies plays a Southern
girl who is seeking fame in the
movies and Haines is a slapJack
comedian who helps her to star
dom and her career up the ladder
furnishes comedy and satire of the
film.
How she develops 'tempera-
almost marries a bogus
count how pictures are made at
figure in sequences,
a typical Keystone comedy
company making it's pictures as a
part of the plot.
The picture gives Miss Davies
ample opportunity to go the whole
bamut of screen comedy from her
own whimsical humor to the
throwing of custard pies.
Hollywood, Mecca of scree as
pirants, is of course shown in
detail. Despite the comedy in the
picture, a pretty romance between
the temperamental star and the
lowly comedian runs through it.
The comedy scenes, incidentally,
were filmed in the historic old
Sennett studios, where the Key
stone comedy was born, just be-
tore they were torn down and the
new Sennett studio put into oper-
alton. Two veterans of the Key
stone comedies, Polly Moran and
Harry Gribbon, play in the new
picture.
