CHICO PEOPLE WANT A
BETTER TRAIN SERVICE
Send a Representative Here to Pre-
sent Their Grievance to South
ern Pacific Officials.

A. l.. Nichols, president of the
Chamber of Commerce of Chico held
conference with General Passe niger
Agent Goodman of the Southern Pa
cific Company yesterday relative to IA
better train service for that town. At
present the through trains to and
from the north arrive there after mid
night and the locals al hours that are
most inconvenient to people living in
that section of the State. 1t is claimed
that the poor service is a detriment
to the town, especially in a CONNER
cial way.
For time the Southern Pacific
Company ran az day train through
from Chico, but this was taken off the
route several months ago. Later the
company promised that the service
would be resumed OH December |. and
falling to get it, the indignation of the
toEnsmen was aroused and they fin
ally sent Nichols to this city to ask the
southern Pacific officials why they
were not shown more consideration.
Nichols was given assurance yester-
day that the grievance of the northern
people would be promptly investigated
In presenting the matter to Good
man Nichols stated that if the COM
pany could not rearrange its time
schedule the people would be con-
tented il it would leave a sleeper on
the siding so that people bound for
San Francisco could retire to the coach
early and be picked up by the through
train when it arrives after midnight.

FITCH'S LATEST
PLAY IS GIVEN

MISS CONQUEST PLUCKY
Apollo Belvedere Plays a Star
Part-''Dairy Farm at Cen
tral-Fine Bill at the ChuteS

An Apollo Belvedere and a pianola
are star actors in Clyde Fitch's latest
play, The Girl With the Green Eyes, "
presented for the first time here last
night at the Columbia Theater Posi-
bly, the play may have carried some
kind OF conviction with Mrs. Clara
BloodgOod. who created and played the
part until last week, in the name role.
Charming as is Miss Conquest, who
made her third appearance as the girl
with the green eyes" last night, she
fails Of the power to disguise the lean
ness Of Mr.. Fitch's material. This Mrs.
BloOdgOod must have had to persuade
to the acceptance of the play, as the
charm of Ethel Barrymore begilded
even Captain Jinks." Still, Miss Con-
quests essay was a distinctly plucky
affair. She arrived from New York
in Salt Lake City on Friday last played
the part without rehearsal on Friday
and Saturday evenings, arrived here at
l o'clock yesterday, had her first re-
hearsal at O'Clock and last evening
appeared in the Western metropolis
with no small success.
The part of Jimmy" Austin, whose
jealousy has earned for her Mr.. Fitch's S
apt title, is not devoid or opportunities.
Mrs. Austin is discovered taking leave
Of her bridesmaids and parents in the
opening act and becomes jealous even
at the auspicious moment of one of her
bridesmaids. 1t is in the family. Papa
is jealous of "Jinnys" condolences with
mamma. Brother is jealous of sisters
newly acquired husband. And so on.
The husband, John Austin, IS an hon
est, fine. if somewhat thick headed per-
son, and wholly in love with his wife.
Mr.. Fitch had here good material to
his hand. Given a logical and original
complication the play might have been
developed upon thoroughly interesting
lines. But the playwright denies the
possibility of sympathy with either the
husband or the wife and uses the
weather-beaten incident or the crime
OF the Wife's brother with the hus-
bands shielding of him 10 bring about
his catastrophe. The wife is jealous.
rot unrea soma bly, but stupidity. The
husband expects an equally impossible
faith through his ambiguous perform
ances. The play ends in a suitably
banal fashion with the lady turning on
the gas and the family breaking down
the door to rescue her.

a Portrait Of the green-eyed lady suf-
fciently vital to dominate the weak
ness Of the play Miss Ida CONQUEST

Miss CONQUEST appeared TO greater ad-
vantage than she has before done here.

hitherto unlocked for. In the comedy

The last vestige Of the original Little

petition OF a number OF wealthy men
who own summer residences on the
shores Of Little Neck Bay.
These meI are preparing a petition
which is 10 be forwarded 10 Congress
man Scudder. requesting that an ap-
preparation be granted Dy The United
States Government for the dredging
ard Improvement OF Little Neck Bay.
10 improvements of this character
have ever been made in this. body Of
water. This has been due . the fact
that no<recuest has ever been made TO
the Government that it give any at
tention to the bay. There was a very
good reason for this redcelce on the
part Of the residents and land owners
in the vicinity of the bay.
II was in Little Neck Bay that the
original clam OF that mama was Sc
cured. Immense beds covered the bot
tom Of the bay. These beds have all
but disappeared, owing to persistent
working and dredging Of the bay by
the clammers and the action Of the
tides in washing into the bay the dirt
nd refuse from the many towns along
the shores of Long Island Sound. so
that the CLAIMS that were not taken
were killed. The business Of claiming.
which eight or ten years ago supported
whole communities in this vicinity has
disappeared. There is therefore no
reason now why the bay should not be
improved.
The work Of the tides has so filed
in the bay that at the present time
yachts Of any draught can make lard
ings only at high tide. IN the summer
time the bay is dotted with these craft,
for nearly every resident has at least
one boat of considerable size. For that
reason there is a desire for the i'm
provement.-New York Sun.

The Victoria Advocate and THE

fits because a brute of conductor
elected an old lady from a train
some distance out of Victoria and
caused the poor old creature to
walk back to the station in dren-
ching rain. They seem to think
the Southern Paciic's courtesy
board will do nothing with this
human hyena. Therein they are
greatly mistaken. If that conductor
don't lose his job and become a
pariah among his kind the writer
Is mistaken in the impression he
has formed of the officials of the
great Southern Pacific system after
eighteen years acquaintance with
them-Orange Tribune.
The HERALD has been of this
