UNION PACIFIC BUYS UP
ITS OLD RICHT-OF-WAY

Tacoma, Nov. 28.-A party of
North Coast surveyors have returned
to Tacoma after re-running portions
of the surveys made by North Coast
engineers from near Eatonville to the
Cowlitz region more than year ago.
The party is now running lines on the
tide flats across the bay.
The Union Pacific has secured pos
session of all of the old right of way
once owned by the same road nearly
twenty years ago, when it made an
attempt to build to the Sound. Much
of the route between Tacoma and the
Colubmia river was graded and was
practically ready for the rails before
work was stopped. The Northern
Pacific some years ago secured the
right of way and has traded it to the
Hartman line again. The Union
Pacific engineers will not utilize all
the former route, but here and there
will deviate to get better grades or to
make the route shorter.

RAILWAY TRACK INSPECTOR
2 MAKES SOME SUGGESTIONS

Olympia, Nov 28.-State Track In
spector Perley, in his report to the
railway commission, points out that
there are engines in service which leak
steam so badly that the engineer can
not see beyond the pilot, and that there
is no law to enable him to force such
equipment out of service. He says the
law provides for 147 defects in box
car which he has authority to reach,
and says it is absurd to require engine
men to pass tests for sight and hearing
and physical ability and then place
them ON a Ileaky engine where they
might as we'll be blind. He asks that
the law be amended to cover this SER
iOus defect.
The report covers a period from
April 1, 1907, to November 1, 1908.
During this time he says he inspected
14,216 cars and found 1,249 detected.
He inspected 1, 242 engines and found
1913 defective.
He reports that he has received en-
cOuragement and assistance from all
railway officials and employees, and
that the companies have made special
efforts to cure every defect as fast as
pointed out to them. His work has in
cluded the inspection of every mile of
track in this state except privately
owned logging lines. Bad conditions
discovered by him have to large ex-
tent been remedied. The report also
deals in detail with his findings on
wrecks Investigated during his term.
