5 SAFETY BEFORE SPEED Or
DERED
} Northwestern Posts Such Notice
! In Every Engine.
TraInmen Must Not Endaneer
Passengers to Make Up Lost
Ttma--Tc Establish Automatic
Blocks.
Safety before speed" are
the words of warning pla-
card, a copy of which is now
posted in the cab of every en-
giae on the Chicago & North
western railroad. The rule be-
came effective and was execut-
ed a few days ago after tie
Northwestern officials had re-
solved to exercise every pre-
caution for safety on their
road i'm view of the large num-
Der of wrecks in the past few
months.
The Northwestern engineers
and conductors, during the cold
weather, are now compelled to
take their time, and however
late they may be, they must
not try to make ugs ugsslt9grn l9gsran train
.a!llfsfSaes alfsfSae fate at a division point
or at any other point where a
change of engines is made, the
new crew must follow it's Gus
tomary schedule, for making
up time will be just as severely
censured now as losing time
ordinarily was heretofore.
The double tracking which
the Northwestern has between
Council Bluffs and Chicago
minimizes the amount of dam
ger from collisions, but there is
being added to this the installa-
tion of block signal system
which will eliminate so far as
human intelligence is able, the
occurrence of accidents. One
/ form of the block system al
ready prevails on the road. This
is the use of the regular sema-
phore, which produces block
between each two consecutive
stations. For instance, when
train arrives at a station and
the red light is turned against
it, it cannot proceed further
until the light changes to a
white, showing that the pre-
ceding train has passed from
the other end of the block.
This system, however, is be-
ing supplanted by the auto
matte block system. Under
this plan the entire road will
be divided into blocks of prob
ably a mile and half to two
miles in length. The advant-
ages of this system over the
present is evident. When pass
ing from one block to another
the wheels of the train will
throw a trick which changes
the red light to a white one,
and no sleepy operator is on
hand to forget or to turn on the
white light when it should be
the red. Then, too, trains can
be more accurately watched by
the automatic system, for many
times it happens that the sta
tions are far apart and ordin-
ary delays would not be noticed
until late.
The division from Chicago
to Clinton, Ia, is now equipped
with the automatic service,
which is giving excellent salts
faction.
j In the Council Bluffs switch
yards the blocks are also opers
ated automatically, which
greatly facilitates the handling
of trains. Occasionally torpe-
does are used, but never except
in extreme cases when the

larger species there is some Uniform

for the horned cattle about thirty. For
the dog It is given at twenty-five. while

At fifteen. But there are stranger dis
PARTIES among the birds. While a
