"Shadows of the West" Film Drama
That Thrills All

Every once in a while there comes
motion picture that stands out
clearly from the rut of the usual in
that form of entertainment. Such a
picture is Shadows of the West"
which will be seen at the Colonial
theatre today.
Here is a picture that is essentially
a Western thriller Yet it is more.
1t is picture with a great. startling
truth back of it. That conditions,
such as it sets forth so glaringly, do
exist, there is no doubt.
Aside from all other questions.
Shadows of the West would merit
the applause of an audience for the
general excellence it shows. Its pho
tography is fine. The scenic settings
are beautiful and the acting is be-
yOnd criticism.
Hedda Nova and Lieut.. Pat O'Brien
who play the leading roles in "Shad
oWs of the West" are both delightful
They give character and color to the
parts they interpret, and lend ma
terially to the great success scored by

be wise for the utility here involved
to keep an account of the operating
revenues and expenses of this partic-
ular line, in order that it may be
capable of presentation to this COM
mission at any future time, if neces-
sary.
I'VE assume that the spokesmen
of the complainants were sincere in
their statements that the public COM
munity served by this utility will be
quick to appreciate this extra serv-
ice and will generously support it to
the end that it may be a paying prop
osition to the railroad, and that we
shall feel justified in seeing that this
additional service is continued.
"If, however, subsequent events
shall disclose that the maintenance
of these additional trains entail seri-
Gus financial loss, the respondent
utility may file petition with us for
the reopening and redecision Of this
quickened impulse to business will
reflect itself in the revenues to the
utility upon this branch line and that
this experimental order which has
been arrived at only after much
thought and consideration, shall be
justified by such results.
"Inasmuch as the making of a
train schedule involves a considera-
ton of other railroad connections
and many other circumstances, we
shall not specify the time of day
when these trains shall be run, but
we shall assume that the utility will
cooperate in an endeavor to remedy
the conditions previously existing and
which are complained of by the pc
titioners, and will inaugurate such
service as will reasonably meet the
terms of this order"

ment Of rates for current furnished
c. A. Thompson's line from Farm
ington Falls to New Sharon and to

peared for Mr.. Thompson.
Mr.. Butler stated that his COM
pany. then owned by George A. Wey-
mouth, when started made its cur
rent from a plant on the Sandy
river but the water was insufficient
and a year ago complaint was made
by Mt. Vernon people of the poor
light. 1t was suggested by the Pub
lie Utilities Commission that g.
mile link be built from Pennington
to Pennington Falls and power pur-
chased from the Franklin County
Light e. Power Co., which got it
from the Central Maine Power Co.
This was done and Mr.. Weymouth
then turned the link and all his own
property into the Pennington Falls
Electric Co.
1t was understood that rates were
to be established. fair to the consun-
ers and to give a fair return to the
builders of the line. That is the pur-
pose of this hearing.

of the current, one-third by Mt. Ner-

The Public Utilities Commission
Tuesday rendered a decision ordering
that the Maine Central Railroad
Co, until further order of the COM
mission, to operate at least three
passenger trains each way between
Brunswick and Rockland upon each
secular day of the week, the sched-
ule for Sunday being unaffected by
the decision. The provision is made
that the Maine Central Railroad Co.
may operate upon its tracks q motor
car or motor bus or any electrically
propelled vehicle for the carriage of
passengers, mail and expressage -
tween Brunswick and Rockland in
place of one of the regular passen-
ger trains.
The decision was in response to the
formal complaint of Charles c. Wood
and others, who alleged that the
Maine Central Railroad Co. is not
furnishing reasonable and adequate
road known as the Rockland Branch
The Rockland Branch is located be-
tween Brunswick and Rockland, and
is approximately 55.93 miles in
length.
After long extended consideration,

Bangor & Aroostook

Bangor, Me, April 4.-The Bangor

showing in January and February,

statement Monday, due to heavy
traffic in moving the potato crop and

The traffic otherwise than potatoes
was very light, there being the lowest
movement of pulp wood and lumber
products developing on the line since
the road was built and but little pros

Todd states, is the new international
