TRAIN RULES.
Adoption Of the Standard Code
by the S. 2.

The Southern Pacific Company has de-
Cided to put in use the Standard Code Of
Train Rules, adopted several years ago by
the American Railway Association, an or
ganization composed Of officials representing
all principal American roads. Tie standard
code is now In use by about So per cent Of
all the roads in the United States, aud the
lines not using it are put to considerable
Inconvenience in the matter OF instructing
new employees 10 the signals Of Independent
systems
Tie operation Of railways In other States
by the Southern Pacific Company, where
the standard code is the only signal method
used, has necessitated this change. Train
men coming here from other States have,
under the old system, been required to learn
a new method OF handling trains, and the
consequent confusion Of signals has often
resulted in serious accidents.
The new code works a complete TevOlu-
ton IN tie method now in vogue and TeYses

Ing, whistle signals, bell-COrd signals, lamp
signals, fixed signals, rules for the move
