 Hollywood = Some one-minute interviews.
 Clark Gable, who seems to have 8 delayed case of spring fever: 'I'm going to quit. Oh, not right away, but it. won't be Q long time, either. No particular reason; I'm just getting restless.
 ''T've enjoyed every minute of it, and certainly have got all that was coming to me. Why, my first pay check was for more money than l ever saw in my life before. I've been able to do things that were beyond my widest dreams. But one of these days I'm quietly checking out maybe on a banana boat to the tropics"
 Eleanor Powell, on the advan- tages of head over heels: "Yes, I
 make up my own rOutines; most of them, anyway. Thinking is
 more important than dancing-l got my first break by figuring out
 g spot to do some talking while
 dancing. I decided I must never wear the set smile of the average vaudeville hoofer. planned some subtle exits with plenty of pam

 Victor Moore, frustrated villain: q always wanted to be 8 heavy, but the, more villainous tried to act, the more people laughted at me. I don't feel funny now, in private life--I can't tell funny stories, and I never think up wisecracks. I can't even write funny material for my self on the stage. But can per- form the funny stuf that other people write."
 Another comic, Edward Ever ett Horton, reveals 8 yen for furious drama: "The one role I especially want to play is Iago in tOthelI0.' He was the greatest villain of them alI-there was not one good thing about his char acter. But in the old days, heav- ies were regarded as comedians because audiences laughed when ever 8 villain got his comeup- pance."
 Mae West on celluloid morality: I'm never photographed in a tor- rid kissing scene becauses the cen Sors wouldn't let me do a bang-up job of it. But it doesn't harm me a bit because we cut the shot be- fore the kissing starts, and leave the rest to the audiences irnagina- tion. It's none of my business what people want to imagine.
 Another thing, my pictures are strictly ethical. I mean that noth- ing bad ever happens to 8 good person. A good man or woman may be threatened, but no real harm comes to 'em. That keeps any situ- ation clean"

THE other wintering fur parties
Joined together at Okanogan, from
whence they all proceeded to Fort
George, which was reached on the
third of April.
On Wednesday, April Is, 1917, un-
der salute of seven guns, Cox and
party of eighty-six souls, perhaps
the largest and most mixed that
ever assembled the Columbia, left
Fort George. In this party were
five Scotchmen, two Englishmen,
one Irishman, thirty-six Canadians,
twenty Iroquois, two Nipissings, one
Cree, three half-breeds, and nine
natives of the Sandwich Islands,
with one boy, a servant, two women
and two children. This party en-
barked in two barges and nine ca
noes, two of them bark, each con-
tanning, on an average, twenty-five
packages, each weighing ninety
pounds.
1t was a motley group of people.
To some, it meant return to civ
1llzed home life. Others looked up-
on the venture as but another in
cident in their adventurous lives.
and some gave no thought at all
to the trials and tribulations of
this journey. Suffice to say that,
when the Lewis river was reached.
one of the leaders, with twenty
two men and two canoes, parted
company, the remainder continuing

This was on Thursday, May first,
and, just a little after sunset, they
encamped, two miles above the
Lackaman river On the second,
the encampment was made near
the beginning of the mari banks,
called by the Canadians, from their
colors, "les terres jaunes.' White
Bluffs readers will readily recognize
the location.
On the third, the resting place
for the night was at the foot Of
Priest Rapid. No natives had been
seen for two days. After breakfast
on the morning of the fourth, the
party which was to cross the Rocky
Mountains babe adieu to the loaded
canoes and the men Of the Colum-
bia. This party continued in two
canoes, breakfasting at Pacquin's
Rapids, and, about noon, arrived at
the portage of Rocky Island rapids.
And so from thence, onward it
continued, over hills and mountains
and plains, by the lordly Athabasca,

voyage terminated.

GOODBYE TO THE COLUMBIA
THE MARL CLIFFS-ROCK IS
LAND RAPID.

It was on Thursday, the 18th of
October, 1911, that the party of adj
venturers, of whom Ross Cox was
one, sailed from New York on the
good ship Beaver" After some
what tempestuous voyage of six
months and twenty-five days, they
reached Fort Astoria, on the Col
umbia, having travelled, during that
time, upwards of twenty thousand
miles.
His journeyings and varied ex-
perienceS among the various tribes,
dwelling on the banks of the Col
umbia and tributary streams, have
proved an interesting story and the
compiler of "Stray Leaves has been
rewarded for any little trouble he
may have been put to by the know
ledge that others have taken up the
study and a little more attention is
being given to the early history of
what today is a household name.
The summer of 1916 raised, within
the heart of Cox, smoldering fires
of discomfort and, gradually, a
growing aversion to the Indian
Country took upper place in his
thoughts and he became dis-satis-
fed with conditions Horse racing,
deer hunting, and grouse shooting
were certainly pleasant pastimes,
but the want of companionable So
ciety rendered every amusement
estate, fiat and improbable.
Speaking of this period, he says:
Zimmerman in vain displayed the
charms of solitude-he never veg
etated among savages. Bad French
and worse Indian began to usurp
the place of English, and I found
my conversation gradually becom-
ing a barbarous compound of vari-
GUS dialects"
Too, the cherished object of a
young mans ambition was still at
an unreasonable distance and he
felt that an old age of affiuence
could only be purchased by the sac
rifce in youth of all the comforts
of social life
While these reflections were
weighing largely with him, the mon
otony of his life was relieved by the
arrival of Mr.. Donald Mackenzie,
from Fort William.
With this visitors arrival came
also letters from home, the reading
of which opened up vista which
determined him to quit the service
at the earliest possible moment. He
recognized, as he read these letters,
that he had a duty to others as well
as to the company. His parents
were in "the sere and yellow leaf
of life" They longed for his pres
ence with them in their declining
years, and this confirmed his deci-
sion
With regret, his resignation was
accepted, with the stipulation that
he would remain at the Okanogan
post, for the winter, where, on &C.
count OF his popularity with the
natives, he had succeeded in pro-
curing more furs than his prede-
cessorS
The five weary months which he
spent at Okanogan, without a friend
to converse with, were about the
most miserable he had spent in the
Northwest service. The season was
severe and he was thus debarred
from the outdoor field sports which,
during the summer months, had
partially relieved the unsocial tedi-
UNI of his existence. Tea and to-
bacco were his only Injuries and his
pipe was his pot-companion. Dried
salmon was the principal article OF

Ne,c Indirect Lighting System
Safeguard 4 gainst E yestrain

Headaches from eyestrain will never
bother people whose homes have the
newest thing in indirect lighting.
The secret OF this new lighting
system is a silvered- bowl lamp which
protrudes from the bottom of its
specially designed fixture. The coat
of pure mirror silver which covers
the bowl of the lamp makes the bulb
its own reflector, DETECTING the light
rays and spreading them evenly over
the entire room. The result Is fine,
soft, restful, indirect light which up
to now has been found only in the
most modern Offices and shops. With
this type of light, there is the same
even illumination for the person
standing and working as for the ono
who is sitting and reading. Because
the silvered bowl shields the brilliant
filament Of the lamp. no glare meets
the eye and annoying shadows are
nowhere in sight. The eyes, relieved
of the contrast between light and
shadow, can be used as maximum
efficiency and without strain or mus
cular fatigue-the usual cause Of
headache.
The fixture itself is the last word
in smartness. It has two graceful
