A successful New York business man
says one may become rich by selling
everything he would not buy if he did
not have it. He does not tell how to find
purchasers for what one may want to
sell, which is often no small task.

THE BLOCK SIGNAL SYSTEM
II Is to Be Adopted at All the Local
Railway Crossings
A Good Hove That Will Prevent Accidents.
Big Cargo-Business Men Hunting
Comfortable Weather

The officials of the Sorthern Pacific, Ter
minal and Santa Fe railroads have at last
realized that there is necessity of a
block signal system, not only in and
around Los Angeles, but extending to the
surrounding towns where the roads meet
and cross. A glance at railway map,
showing the tracks of the various roads in
this and adjoining counties, will convince
the average citizen who is not an expert
in railway management that every pre-
caution possible to prevent accidents
should be taken. 1t is true, there have
been no serious accidents on the roads
running local trains out of this city, but
there have been numerous narrow escapes
which have been carefully concealed by
the railroad people.
No longer than Monday last two local
trains just missed coliding at a crossing
near the city, and there were not less than
200 passengers on each train. Had II col
lison occurred and it was only missed
by few yards, the loss of life must have
been terrible. The railroads owe it to
their local patrons to surround them with
every possible safeguard, and the news
that block signals are to be put in on the
suburban lines will be most welcome to
the hundreds of people who daily travel
to and fro to this city from country
homes.
The Terminal has started the good work
by putting in the Hall automatic block
signal on the curve near Buena Vista
bridge. The other roads as well as the
Terminal will equip their lines as speedily
as possible, and the two or three thousand
people who ride into Los Angeles every
morning and out every night will feel safe
when they know that nothing but gross
and wilful carelessness on the part OF the
engineer if their train or train following
