 It took place at the end of Pier IS, San Francisco. where Mulhall, co-starring with Dorothy Mackai'l in Waterfront, was acting in a boat scene. The scene called for Mulhall to climb from small row boat to the pier to join Miss Mac kaill. While the camera clicked the star leaped from the boat to the ladder. The leap was perfect, but the ladder was not. A cross bar broke and down went Mulhall Miss Mackaill screamed and the camera stopped Mulhall, an ex- cellent swimmer, was soon rescued, but had to take shelter in an ad- joining warehouse until dry cloth ing arrived.

 AT PALACE TONIGHT

Hugh Trevor, who plays the role of human thoroughbred" in Ra- dio Pictures all-taiking production of William Le Baron's celebrated stage play, ''The Very Idea" now at the Palace Theatre, ideally fills his part as the physically perfect young man.
 The theme of "The Very Idea" " has to do with, a eugenic enthusi- ast, played by Frank Craven, who sets out to prove his theories and provide eugenic baby for child less family. He proposes to hire a father and mother to bring a perfect child into the world. He selects Joe. the chauffeur, and Nora a maid, played by Sally Blanc, to carry out the experiment.
 "The Very Idea" has an excep- tional cast. Besides Trevor, Miss Blanc and Craven, Olive Tell, Theo- dore Von Eltz and Doris Eaton have conspicuous roles.

use every effort to induce whole salers patronized by them to use wooden boxes in shipments instead of fibre cartons. The fibre con- taincr, he added, is hurting the box manufacture industry of Alas ka sawmills to a considerable ex- tent.
 The Chamber adopted a motion by Allen Shattuck commenting the United States Forest Service for its action in programming a con- tinuation of Glacier Highway to Mendenhall Glacier. It was re- gently announced this work would be done during the current year.
 Timber Areas Chosen
 H. L. Faulkner told the Chamber that he was informed on a recent visit to San Francisco that the c m IT n-Chandler interests had completed timber investigations and chosen the areas to be used in the manufacture of pulp and paper here. He visited with J. A. Cam eron, R. D. Kinzie and A. J. Fla while in San Francisco and learned from them that satisfactory pro- gress had been made on the pulp project There are still some water power investigations to be made and these will be resumed as soon as weather conditions permit this Spring.
 Ketchikan has adopted for next year the community calendar idea originated in Alaska by Cordova in 1929, MT. Faulkner said.

TAX FIGHT TO GET
 QUICK ACTION
Demurrer Filed by Rust gard Who Leaves, for
 Ketchikan on Queen

To expedite hearing on the suit filed attacking the validity of the Territorial nonresident trollers' tax, Attorney General John Rust gard left this afternoon on the steamer Queen for Ketchikan where the United States District Court is now in session. It is desirable, he said, to get the matter settled without delay so that it will not interfere with the collection of the tax for the current year.
 The complaint in the case was filed here Tuesday afternoon by Lund & Lund. Seattle, represent ing Wood Freeman, Tacoma power boat troller. It alleges that the tax is unjust, excessive in amount, violates the constitutional rights of American citizens. and is an attempt to regulate the fishing in- dustry and is not a revenue meas ure.
 A general demurrer to the com plaint, alleging it does not state facts sufficient to constitute cause of action, was filed yesterday after noon by MT. Rustgard. The files in the case are being sent to Ket- chikan and Mir. Rustgard will ap- pear before the District Court there to argue the demurrer. L. o. Gore has been asked to appear for Free man. If the demurrer is sustained, the suit will be ended so far as the District Court is concerned, but further action can be had in higher courts on an appeal

merchant, operating a small busi- ness, said his calendars this year cost him $600 The Tongass Trad ing Company paid $1.40 each for theirs. The aggregate for the town ran into several thousands of dollars He suggested that Ju- neau business men might find it profitable to adopt the idea here.
 On his way north, MT. Faulkner attended the annual Halibut Fish ermen's Banquet and Dance given under the auspices of the Ketchikan Commercial Club. That organiza- ton is doing everything possible to cooperate with the fishermen, he added. IL annually presents the high boat with a silver trophy cup.
 The exchange of visits between the several Southeast Alaska com m c ercial organizations frequently each year was advocated by the K etc h ik n organization as the means of bringing the communi- ties into closer touch and effecting a cooperative spirit for the advance ment of the district, he said. This matter will be taken up later this year by the Chamber.
 Urges Improvement Project
 MT. Faulkner said he was in re- oeipt of letter from P. R. Brad ley, consulting engineer of the Alaska Juneau, expressing his ap- preciation of the Chambers work last year, and urging the proposed improvement project on lower Front Street. This, MT. Bradley said, was one of the greatest needs of the community today.
 The Alaska Juneau mine is one of the greatest assets of Alaska and Juneau's biggest asset, MT. Faulk- ner said. AS the years pass, it will be even more important. It is probable, he added, that with the Taku River development now in progress by the Company, will come the establishment of some kind of reduction plants on the American side of the line.
 Hot in California
 MT. Faulkner found weather somewhat hot in California. On motor trip south from San Fran cisco, one day the party found 1t necessary to hunt out a shady spot to eat it's lunch in comfort. Telling of the incident to a traveller, he was told that he hadn't seen any real weather. Tn Fl Centro," said the traveller, T saw dog chasing a cat the other day, and it was so hot both the dog and cat were walking"
 More Tourist Travel

A crew of 900 men has been working for sev- eral months getting the ship ready for the run.
 Many improvements were noted in Juneau by Edwin Wentworth, former local resident, who has re- sided in Ketchikan for several years. He arrived here early this week to be buyer for the New Eng land Cold Storage Company, suc- ceeding Sam Morris, resigned.
