Unusual and seemingly unfair tests
are being made on many western rail-
roads to try engineers and trainmen
on the new rules and the block signal
system which has recently been in
stalled.
Recently a surprise test was given
one of the Oldest engineers on the
Umatilla-La Grande passenger run on
the .. X. & n. to see II he closely OBJ
served all rules at all times. An Of
ficial of the road was on the engine
with the engineer and when the pas.
senger train came upon a torpedo
burning beside the track the train
was stopped promptly according to
well known rule, requiring all trains
to stop at burning torpedo until 1t
is burned out, or for 10 minutes, II
the torpedo burns out in shorter time.
The official suggested that as the
semaphore of the block signal system
showed that the block ahead was
clear and that no train was within
two or three miles, that 1t was useless
to hold the passenger train to await
The official got down and extin-
guished the torpedo before 1t had
burned half out and told the engineer
to proceed; but the old employe
knew his business and told the offic-
ial that he would not "budge" until
the required 10 minutes had expired,
and so the train was held until the
engineer observed the rule.
While the engineer did not suspect
at the time 1t was a secret test of his
observance of the rules, he convinced
the officials that he knew his business
and was performing his duty regard
less of the advice" of officials.
Other surprise signal tests have been
made recently. One of the most
prominent conductors in freight serv-
ice of the La Grande division, found
the numbers OF his train wrong, after
reaching station several miles out
of La Grande and lost no time in cor
recting the numbers. An official was
on. the train and It was found that he
had purposely changed the numbers
on the caboose to see II the train
crew would discover the wrong num-
Der In the cupoia Delore llhlsHiis 'he
run.
To say that the official got ''roast-
ing" from the crew is putting 1t mild
ly, as they had arranged their num-
bers properly on leaving La Grande.
Similar tests are being made all
along the Union Pacific system for
the purpose of wedding out careless
and inefficianet employees and this
week number of prominent and
veteran engineers have lost their po-
sitions on the Union Pacific through
these tests.
The tests are made to stimulate an
interest in their work on the part of
employees, in hopes Of reducing the fire.

wealth expanded by a larger figure
than its entire wealth amounted to

which Lincoln was first elected, 1860.
