CORRESPONDENCE ON
RAILROAD SITUATION
Chamber of Commerce Takes
Up Matter of Valley Road
With Director General.
In answer to a letter fully
describing the condition of t]ie
T. & B. V. R’y under the new
regimej President J. Wed Davis
of the Teague Chamber of
Commerce received the follow-
ing reply:
J. Wed Davis, President
Chamber of Commerce* Teague,
Texas. Dear Sir: Your letter
of Apirl 21 addressed to the
Director General and suggest-
ing a further general use ^ of
the Trinity & Brazos Valley
Railway, was referred to this
division for attention.
We took the matter up with
the regional director who has
since made an inspection of the
road, in company with his
traffic assistant. He sends us
a copy of letter written by his
traffic assistant to' the Chair-
man of the Routing Committee
for the State of Texas, the
substance of which^is that it is
desired to increase the move-
ment of business by the T. &
B. V. Railway, so that they
may, be given from thirty to
fifty cars of____through traffic
dajly for movement in each di-
rection, when traffic can be so
routed without creating ad-
verse conditions of light traffic
on other lines. It is stated
that the T. & B. V. is in posi-
tion to -handle in trains which
they are now operating a very
greatlyv increased tonnage,
which ought to be furnished to
it if this can be done without
creating similar conditions on
other lines. Prompt action is
especially urged upon, the chair-
man.
I trust that the arrange-
ment which will be made as a
result of these inspections, will

The
Imcation
On May 16
was dated Maw 12.
President Davis addressed the
following letter to Mr. Niles:
Mr. Edward C. Niles, Asst,
to Director* in charge of Ser-
vice, U. Sr. R. R. Administra-
tion, Washington, D. C. Dear
Sir: We have acknowledgement
your favor of the 12th inst.
advising that it has been deter-
mined that the Trinity & Bra-
zos Valley Railway can handle
in trains which they are now
operating a very greatly in-
creased tonnage, which ought
to be furnished to it, . if this
can be done without creating
similar conditions on other
lines and that the routing com-
mittee for the State of Texas
has been advised that it is de-
sired to increase the movement
of through traffic in each di-
rection daily to the extent of
thirty to fifty cars when this
can be dope without creating
adverse conditions of light
traffic on other lines.
In our former correspond-
ence we were ^hopeful of our
ability to cause the Adminis-
tration to understand, as we
understand it, that you are
justified in increasing the vol-
ume of traffic oter this line to
the extent of increasing the
trains on thdf line to handle the
business, and for' the reason
that the tonnage can be han-
dled over this line cheaper than
over any of the other north
and south lines of a comp^ti
tive nature, occasioned by the
lower grades and’ shorter dis-
tance, and, in addition thereto
atone to a reasonable extent
the injury that has been inflic-
ted upon the citizenship along
the T. & B. V. %n ac«xunt of
‘the heretofore mismanagement
and of the discrimination' now
being practiced, and to this end
may we invite your further
consideration, commanding us
freely for all additional infor-
mation and assistance we may
be able to render. . ✓
Sipcerely yo\*rs,
J. Wed Davis, Pres.

ATTRACTIONS AT
THE CHAUTAUQUA
1919 Program Includes Prom-
inent Speakers With Vitally
Interesting Themes.
The Texas B. Y. P. U. Asso-
ciation is trying Teague out
this year with a view of mak-
ing it their permanent meeting
place. It is up- to us to make
their meeting so pleasant they
will want to come,1 back. Do
your best. J. Wed Davis,
Chairman Entertainment Com-
mittee.
E. G. Setzer left Monday for
Ala., to join his
The 1919 Chautauqua pro-
gram, which opens at the city
park in Teague on Wednesday,
May 28, reflects the spirit of
the times. We are glad the
1
war* is over; we are glad,jve
helped to win it, and we want
to have a good time and cele-
brate. We are getting back to
peace time conditions^ different
from those that preceded the
war. We face international and
domestic complications that
touch the lives of every indir.)
vidual in the United States..
We all want the United States
to be a bigger and better na-
tion than ever. Our country
should be the foremost nation
|of the world and each one de-
sires to do his part. Chas. F.
Horner is glad /to assure his
many friends that th0- 1919
Chautauqua program, reflects
the spirit of the times and is
the equal, at least, of any pro-
gram he has ever presented,
fitting admirably into the hap-
piness and thoughtfulness of
this gfeat age. ,
First day, Wednesday, May
28.—HelerUWaggoner and the
Bettie Potter Company will ap-
pear at the Chautauqua on the
first day, May 28. Helen Wag-
goner is a young impersonator
who has advanced to a position
of^ prominence in the Chautau-
qua world in a very few years.
She has a wonderfully mag-
netic personality and is evi-
denced in everything that she
does, as she has the happy fac-
ulty of becoming a part of the
thing she impersonates, so that
her many hearers forget that
they are seeing a “make be-
lieve” and to them it is real.
The Bettie Potter company is
composed of Miss Bettie Potter,
Miss Hortense Smith and Miss
Irvine Guy. Bettie Potter is a
singer, impersonator and cel-
list. Hortense Smith is a con-
tralto and pianist and Miss
Irvine Guy is a violinist. This
company will render a program
of novelty music and sketches.
AU^bf them are experienced
Chautauqua entertainers and
their brilliant records in this
work have recommended them
for this important place on the
Chautauqua program.
W. S, Bimie is one of the
boys who has’“Come back.” He
does not have a war lecture.
What he does have is ideas of
readjustment problems. He
wtin at the front and ift the
trenches. He has seen the
changes that have come
every man whose life was thus
touched by the great war and!
eclated the difference that
Hl “f.
estecKin the United States’ pos-
ition of leadership among na-
tions, can afford to miss Sgt.
McBirnie’s lecture.
Second Day, Thursday, May
29.—The Haydn Singers is a
quartet, two men and two wo-
men, organized in Chicago.
Every one of these performers
is a musical artist, but they
will give a program of your
favorite songs. Chautauqua
patrons have always liked to
hear the songs they knew, and
the Haydn Singers, with their
b*eautiful rich and vibrant
voices, will make these songs
mean more to £ou than they
ever have before.
E.H.Lougher will talk at the
Chautauqua on “Rebuilding
the World.” The world is
pretty big subject to give to'
one individual,but Mr. Lougher
is qualified, both by his experi-
ence and by mental caliber to
put everyone who hears him in
closer touch with the world in-
terests which are confronting
us today. As a criminologist,
lecturer and orator, he has vis-
ited many parts of the world
and studied social conditions,
thus securing that broad and
personal that makes his , talk
hold such intense interest for
all the audiences who hear him.
Third Day, Friday, May 30.
—The Columbian Band is the
big musical attraction the third
day. This organization is just
one step upward in the devel-
opment of fyig musical Chau-
tauqua -^organizations. This or-
ganization is made up of mus-
ical artists, everyone a soloist
and most of them good singers.
In their program of ensemble^
and solos, both instrumental
and vocal, they bring home a
new meaning of the Word
“Band” to all who hear tfiem.
This company is on its second
tour of the Redpath-Horiier
Chautauqua and many of Mjie
newspapers last year asser
that it was the best musical
organization which had ever
appeared at their Chau
quas.
Fourth Day, Saturday, May
31.—Charles H. Plattenburg is
going to talk about loyalty to
the home town. This lecture
ks not a plea for loyalty/to the
home town because it |s the
home town, but loyalty to the
home town because tha interest
of every individual in a com-
munity are best served by
every individual having the
community instinct which be-
gets what is known in athletics
as “teaffiwork.”
Mr. Plattenburg' shows that
the tremendous loss In popula-
tion of the smaller communities
and the enormous depreciations
in real estate values resulting
therefrom, were brought about
by lack of civic pride, commun-
loyalty and lopal co-opera-
tion'Uby the tremendous in-
roads njade by the mail order
houses arid T>y ’the constant
stream of young men and wo-
• towns
t
can be counteracted. His lec-
ture is a general analysis of .
problems touching the interest
of every man in every com-
munity. •/■
Chas. F. Horner is very glad
to present to the Chautauqua
patrons this year, one of the
world’s greatest exponents of
magic art, Eugene Laurant,
known as the man of many
mysteries. Mr. Laurant has a
medal awarded him by the Am- < -
erican Society Magicians' for
proficiency in magic art and if
children were in a position to
award medals, they would
award them by the carload, for
Laurant holds a big ' place in
the hearts of children, whom
he loves sp much. Laurant is
aian originator of many of his
o^vn tricks. He has his own
workshop and in addition to
being a wonderful magician, he
has few equals as an enter- -t
tamer.
Fifth Day, Sunday, June 1.—
On the fifth day of the Chau- -j
tauqua, real* Chautauqua his- “
tory will be made, for that is
the day the Roach-Freeman
and Williams Company will be
here and everybody is going to
have a lot of fun. Ada Roach
sings and plays the accordion
and does Irish impersonations.
Ruth Freeman plays the violin
and piano and sings. Her im-
rsonations of the Swedish
migrant girl who wants to
ote, is numbered among the
fond recollections of thousands
,of people in the United States
iwho have heard her. Billie
/Williams was a “Gob” in the
Navy-^ he belonged vito thb
band. His catchy songs and
the jyay he fits in with the
tyork of Ada Roach and S(tuth
reeman make this company a
otable aggregation of gloom
chasers and mirth provokers
and they beat any three-ring
circus that you ever saw for
real fun.
J. E. Aubrey is going to talk
about “The One Mile Town” at
the Chautauqua. The thought
embodied in this talk is the
psychology of the plus elements
in community development! Mr.
Aubrey believes that the town
Which does just merely what it
has to d,o or that which is cus-
tomary is overlooking big pos-
ibilities. He believes that the
towns that reach out after the
posibilities are those that really
are fulfilling thejr . places in
cqjnmunity development. He
is a man of wide Chautauqua
experience and an accomplished
speaker on the platform with
a wonderful grasp on organiza-
tion and promotion problems.
He is one of the big* Rotarians
of Texas and as a minister
one of the churches, built
big membership through ad
rising. One of his ad’
ments was commented on
“Printers’ Ink,” a na
vertising magazine, ;
of modern church pron
