collided at Ridge. Wyoming, owing tc
overlooking of train orders. Two en-
gineers, one fireman and n brakeman
were killed and two firemen injured.
On December 8, 1906, n brakeman
was killed In a collision between
freight trains near Point of Rocks, wy
oming.
On January 2, 1907, at Brule. Ne
braska, two passenger trains collided
causing the death of n passenge,
and injury to passengers, fou!
mail clerks and four employees. The
cause of this accident was improper
tagging and control of trains.
Careless Employees Discharged.
On March 25, 1907. through failure
to observe signals, two freight trains
collided at Gilmore, Nebraska. There
were no persons injured.
On. May Is, 1907, freight trains col
lided at Red Desert, Wyoming, due tc
ca~relessness of an engineer and caus
ing slight injury to one engineer.
In all the above cases, employees re-
sponsible for the accidents were dis
charged, after careful inquiry made
into the accidents by special boards
Of inquiry, which have been provided
for during the past year, and which
consists Of officials of the road togeth
er with persons of prominence, integri
ty and reputation who may be selected
to fill a place upon the board.
System Of Tests Established.
Carefully compiled statistics, the re
suit Of close inquiries, during the year
have supplied--a basis upon which thu
of the roads are acting
with a view of reducing accidents to
the minimum. A system of tests was
established three years g for the
trying out of the w~atchfulness Of EN-.
ployes relative to the signal system,
These tests, are conducted on all di
visions. A school of instruction, or a
board OF examiners passes over the
system each six months drilling both
new and old employees in the matter
OF transportation, rules 50 thai all may
think, know and act uniformly in the
performance Of their respective duties.
With an educational system and WIN
the protective measures that are en-.
ployed, it Is more than likely that dur.
ing the next year, there will be a still
further decrease in the number Of &C
cidents, and in the loss OF lie and per
sonal injuries on the Union Pacific.

1t Ia often charged that human life,
in the present age, is held of little val
ne. Wheneyer+there is an accident In
which lives are lost, sensationalists
generally bring forward the argument
that great employers Of labor do not
exercise the right cars for the protec.
ton of life. The annual report of the
Union Pacific railway shows among
other interesting things how great has
been the effort made during the past
year to reduce to the minimum the
possibilities of accident and of the de-
~struction of human life and personal
injury incident to the operation of rail-
ways.
Comparative Figures.
During the past year about $4,000.
900 were expended in the installation
Of safety appliances, all for the pur.
pose Of reducing to the lowest posi-
BILE degree the ,schanee of accidents.
That this expenditure has moi been IN
vain is shown by the comparative re-
port of the loss of life and of personal
injury on account Of accident. For
the year ending June 80, 1907, the to-
tai number Of employees killed on the
Union Pacific system was sc. and in
jured 859, out of a total Of 1000 en-
ployes and 95 per cent Of the injuries
were very slight
Reduction During Past Year.
During the year 1906, SO employees
were killed. Dpging the year ending
June 80, 1907, there we're but three pas
sengers killed and 166 injured. In 1906
two passengers were killed and 1876 in
jured. During 1907 those employed as
postal clerks, express messengers, etc.
one was killed and 80 injured, compar,
ed with S killed and Is injured during
1906. Other persons who lost their
lives during the past year through rail-
road accidents Of the system number
SO. with injuries to AZ, against As kill
ed and 70 injured In 1906. The total
killed in all accidents for the year 1907
was los. The total injured, 1,104,
against ia killed and 1888 injured in
1907.
Remarkable Decrease.
When It is taken into consideration
that the increased business handled
by this company is indicated by in
creases of 2.66 per cent in tons Of
freight carried one mile and 1881 per
cent in the passengers carried one
mile, 1915 per CEN in the total train
mileage, the decrease in the loss OF
life is remarkable.
The principal train accidents during
the year, included a collision between
a running wild freight al and a freight
train nea Cheyenne on August 20.
1906, in which n engineer was killed,
one fireman and one brakeman injur
ed. This accident was due, to failure
to properly set the brakes in the Chey.
enne yards.
Trespasser Killed.
On September 4, 1906, through de-
~fective track lear Red Ruttes. Wyo-
ming, a passenger train was derailed.
One trespasser beating his way over
the line vas killed and another tres
passer and ten passengers injured.
On October 9, 1906, a passenger train
was derailed by broken rail near Wa
mego, Kansas. One conductor and

had taken his dinner with him
in a pan with a cloth tied over
the top and on going to work
had left the dinner in the wagon.
When dinner time came Mr..
Myers was hungry and was
thinking with great satisfaction
of the good time he would have
cleaning out the pan slick and
clean but a great disappointment
awaited him for on going to get
it he found his dinner had disap-
peared and although he searched

be found. His son George hap
pened to be in the same field at
work and shared his dinner with
him, but Mr.. Myers still swears
dire vengeance upon the wretch
who stole his dinner.

COMMUNICATED.
BALTIMORE. October 10, 1907.


The Republicans in Baltimore do
not seem capable of learning any,
thing new. Year after year, prior
to every election, they start up with
the same old charges of fraud in the
registration, aud prospective fraud
on the franchise by repeating on
election day. When they controlled
the election machinery in the years
of the Lowndes' administration, and
had everything absolutely their own
way so far as registration was con-
cerned, they reiterated the same old
charges, namely, that Democrats
were trying to pad the list of voters,
when such thing was only possible
by the connivance of their own Re-
publican officials. The accusation
was false then, as il is false and
absurd, because it is impossible,
now. 1t can only be done by the
consent OF the Republican registra-
ton officials, and in making these
charges, they virtually accuse their
own people of treason. The truth
is. the possibility offraud in election
has been reduced to a minimum and
fraud itself is rare in any part of the
State. The cases which have been
Investigated have proved to be utter
ly without foundation in fact, and it
