The Union Pacific and Burlington
have defined their positions as to
newspaper advertising for next year
and are sending out contracts to the
publishers in Nebraska and territory
tributary to the lines of the road. The
contracts provide that all advertising
shall be paid for in cash and if any
transportation is asked for by the pub
fishers it shall be paid for at the tar.
if rates.
AS to the sums paid for advertising,
it shall be at the contract rates. The
roads will not be responsible for the
payment of more advertising than is
provided for in the contract.
Treat All Papers Fairly.
General Passenger Agent Wakeley
of the Burlington says there will be
no transportation considered on either
side of the contract. Everything will
be on a cash basis. He adds:
we are laying our plans to have
the appropriation go around to all OF
the newspapers with which we make
contracts. Instead of spending large
sums with the big dailies and ignoring
the country press, we will treat all
papers with fairness"
Cash on Both Sides.

get quiet, simply by main force, as they
would not listen to his bidding other
wise. Now let us return to the exterior
of the train. AS soon as the train
stopped the baggage cars door was
pushed open by the baggage master,
and an alligator skin valise was thrown
out into the snow.
Mrs. Larson was awakened by the
noises without. She witnessed all of
these proceedings and then awakened
her husband. Pray, Kirk, go and see
the contents of that package" said his
wife.
"All right, wifey," replied Larson in
an obedient tone, and he started for the
spot where the Valise lay. He thought
there was not anything in the valise for
them, but as his wife's curiosity was
aroused he went to satisfy her. She
waited in anticipation to see what the
contents of the Valise were. Larson by
this time reached the spot where the
valise lay, and to his great astonishment
he saw inscribed upon a card attached
to the satche these words Merry
Christmas to Kirk Larson.
The train now blew its whistle and
started again on it's journey. Kirk went
into his shanty with his Christmas pres
ent, his face aglow with JOY Little did
he dream of the contents of that valise
His wife came out to meet him, as II
seemed SO long for him to carry it into
the shanty. When they opened the
package you can imagine their joy. fol
their wish had been granted, there lay Il
baby boy. 1t was happy Christmas
for Kirk Larson and his wife. They
were the proudest couple throughout
Engadin valley. They named their son
Los Angeles herald., 1906-12-16

When he reached his hut he rushed into
it and then seized some matches and his
red lantern, then rushed back. After
reaching the exterior of his hut he saw
that his lantern wasn't lighted so he
struck a match, but as 1t was showing,
the match wouldn't light. He then got
some flints and struck them together;
instantly bright red light flashed up.
This time he was successful.
BY this time the low rumble of the
train could be heard in the distance,
getting louder every minute.
Waved Lantern
Larson was a man of first thought so
he began to wave his lantern frantic
ally. About a minute later the train
came into view, winding in and out
among the bluffs and precipices. When
the engineer perceived the red lantern
flying back and forth through the ain
he knew there was danger ahead and
slackened the trains speed some, but as
the express goes exceedingly fast the
engineer had to stop the train gradually
Larson saw this, so he made a flying
leap for the COW catcher, and the next
thing he knew he was being brought out
of unconssciousness, and many kind
faces were looking down upon him with
tears in their eyes. Kirk Larson. had
saved the EnBadln express from prOpd
BILE destruction. He was rewarded by
the choice of either being brakeman on
track walker, and as he liked to live
where he was, he accepted the track
walker position.
All through summer Larson and his
wife wished for a baby and as Christ
mas was drawing near they hoped they
would receive one for a present. Lar
son used to walk the limit of four miles
and back each day, as that was the
route given to him by the company.
Once in a while he and his wife would
flag train and then go on visit TO the
city of Berne. Switzerladn's largest me.
tropolls and commercial center. Wher
his wife had a desire to be where there
was a lake. Kirk packed their valise'
and hand bags and they went off tC
such a place. Mrs. Larson much pre-
ferred to visit the little city of Lucerne
on the banks of Lake Lucerne. Lak'
Lucerne is noted for its wonderful cav,
landings and unique hotels and cot
tages. Lucerne is situated about th'
heart OF Switzerland, at the base of (
chain Of mountains and on the banks o
beautiful Lake Lucerne, and is especial
ly visited by the tourists. Mr.. and Mrs
Larson would stay two weeks at thi
little city, then they would return q
their shanty near Mt. Manahorn.

SCHOOL TEACHERS TO MEET

From 9:3O o'clock Morday morning
till Friday afternoon the teachers OF
Los Angeles county and Southern Call
fornia will be kept busy attending the

the snow was three feet deep on the
mountain side and the river below was
frozen. Every morning Larson heard
the toot-toot of the rotary snow ploW
coming down the track, bucking the
banks of snow. The rotary snow plow
is pushed by two heavy locomotives
and has a wheel in front which Scatters
the banks of snow. The wheel is some
what the shape of our propeller.
Christmas eve is here. Tonight Santa
Claus will visit all good boys and girls,
perhaps he will send Larson a present.
In little town called Kretchen all was
there, but this evening he was nowhere
to be seen. The children missed him,
as he used to buy them little trinkets
Larson was not wealthy but he was on
the boundary line between poor and
medium. OF course a track-walker does
not receive much pay, but Kirk had u
little sum saved up in the Kretehen
National bank.
Christmas eve was an unusually cold
one, so he and his wife retired early
hoping that Santa Claus would grant
their wish. Along about midnight the
Engadn Valley express was heard IN
the distance, getting louder and louder
every minute. Suddenly it came in tc
view. and when in front of the little
shanty it drew up with a sudden jerk
throwing some of its passengers from
the upper berths to the lower ones. Ar
especially funny incident happened, foi
the young man over berth No. 7 (occu-
pied by a cranky old maid) was upsel
on her, because she had fallen out from
a lower berth. She took up one of hel
shoes and began to hit the young man

In Engadin valley Switzerland, lived
Swiss peasant and his wife, about for
ty miles from the base of Mt. Mana
horn, situated about 5000 feet above the
sea level and overlooking a beautiful
canyon. Mt. Manahorn is noted for the
Alpine glow; that is, after the sun sets
you can see the reflection of 1t on the
summit of this mountain. Switzerland
has some of the most unique railroads
lin the world and is especially noted for
its scenery.
Kirk Larson, as that is the mans
name, Is a track-walker for the Engadin
Valley Railroad company. Larson
gained this responsible position by an
act of bravery.
One cold and snowy night Larson
chanced to be walking up the railroad
track, and after going a little way some
dark objects loomed up, and by closer
examination he saw there were some
| logs placed on the track for the purpose
of wrecking the Engadin Valley express
He knew the express would be along
soon, so he began to tug at the logs, IN
! hope of removing them. He worked
with great energy, but ii proved to bC
of no avail, as he was powerless agains
such heavy things. He knew that many
lives were at stake, so he gave the tasl
a second trial, working with redoubleC
Vigor, but 1t was useless, as he nigh
as we'll have tried to move locomotive
as to undertake to move these logs.
About minute later he realized tina
this was the case, so he ran madly dowI

The contest closed last night, and to
celebrate it and at the same time eX-
tend a fraternal welcome to the new
members who had been enrolled during
the three months of working the su-
preme lodge gave a reception at the
lodge home, Lincoln and Figueroa
streets.
Fully a thousand members of the
Fraternal Brotherhood turned out, and
the full dress uniforms of the men, as
well as the natty costumes of the Wo-
men, formed a pretty picture in the
broad halls and reception rooms of the
Fraternal building.
The early part of the night was oc-
cupied with literary and musical en-
tertainment Estelle Heartt sang three
selections, among them being Caunah's
Cradle Song" Elizabeth Nella con-
tributed a whistling solo, Like a Bird" "
Claudia HaZen White recited the dra-
matte selection, Her Actress Child"
and f. Hell played tlugel horn solo,
"Werner's Parting Song"
The address of welcome was delivered
by James A. Foshay, supreme presi-
dent and formerly superintendent of
schools of this city. The grand SUI
preme lodges greeting to the new mem
bers was in these words
THE supreme lodge of the Fraternal

and Oak halls being beautifully deco
rated for that purpose In another
hall light refreshments We're served.
