The Owl Train

ager of the Southern Pacific, in
charge of the electric lines, ''goes to
bed with the Lark and arises with the

noticed the hard work that is being
done by Shoup lately. Shoup, who is
supervising the building of the new

therefore travelling between here and

day evening on the Lark and spends
all of Tuesday in Los Angeles in con-
ference with officials of the electric

ment In this city for Wednesday and
comes up Tuesday evening on the Owl
By the time he has been here a few
hours he discovers that he must again
go to Los Angeles and he takes the
Lark out that evening.
1t has been suggested that Shoup
engage a special compartment on both
the Owl and the Lark and that he
move his effects into that compart-
ment.

that on and after November l local
passengers between this city and San
Jose OR between Los Angeles and Santa
Barbara will not be permitted to take

result of a large increase in local bust
ness that interferes with through bust
ness.
1t frequently happens that pas-
sengers travelling on the Lark between
here and Los Angeles desire to be met
by their relatives or friends and the
railroad company has made provision
for this by issuing letters of AUTHORITY
to the conductors to permit such mas
sengers to board the trains in order TO
