10 THE QVILL
much, but it’s not far from Reno, so he gets along pretty weli.
The first.person I met wher we got off the cars in Nevada
City was Will Thomas. “Bill” is running a hotel where Sugar Loat
used to be, and seems to be very successful. On the way to the hotel.
Bill showed me many signs of the Nevada I used to know, but the old
town is rapidly being replaced by the new. On one of the streets,
which I was told was called 254th street, I recognized Hazel MePherson. She is now conducting a young ladies’ seminary in Nevada.
I was too tired to take in the town that night, but the next
morning I went down and spent the day looking up od friends. On
one of the main streets, called South Broad street, I saw a marriagebureau sign. Upon inquiry I learned that Lillian Pinch conducted it
and was becoming rich fast.
Just across the street from the marriage “joint’’ I saw a new
building going up, and learned that it was Tom Richards’ pharmacy.
which was being rebuilt, having recently burned down. Tom fills prescriptions for Doctor Vinton Muller, one of the most successful physicians in the city.
Three blocks up the street is the New Nevada Theater, and
upon passing this building 1 read that Evelyn Arbogast, lately graduated from the Boston Conservatory, would, with her company, make
her first appearance in Nevada City in a few days. I was sorry I
cou'd not stay to hear her, for I understand she is one of the finest
singers in America. It might alsointerest you to know that Eibert
Veale, the famous violinist, is leading her orchestra.
The new Nevada City High School is certainly a beautiful
building. I spent some time in walking through the halls, and at last
summoned up enough courage to enter one of the rooms numbered
“301.” It happened to be the Senior English room, and imagine my
surprise when I recognized Jenny Sharp as the teacher. I spent some
time in her room, and later visited the Junior Math. room, where Leonard Schroeder is teaching. :
On my way back to the hotel I boarded a downtown. car, and
while quietly reading in one corner a man entered and sat down beside me. I paid no attention to him until he called me by name, and
then I recognized Leonard Kahl, president of the Nevada City Stree
Railroad Co. Kahl looks prosperous and weighs about 240 pounds,
as a successful magnate should.
That night as I was going through the hall of the hotel, on the
way to my room, I fell over a bird cage outside a door. The bird
that occupied the cage happened to be a parrot, which upbraided me
terribly for my awkwardness. I was about to pass on when a lady
came to the door. She was carrying a cat and a small monkey, and
began anxiously to inquire of “Polly” if she was hurt. I thought her
voice sounded familiar, and looking up I beheld Clara Maltiman. Poor.
