AN INSTRUCTION GAR
 OVER $. P. LINES
For Benefit of Employees in Operation of Trains.

or rams.
 The Southern Pacific is operating an instruction car over the entire route of it's Pacific system, being in charge of a corps of expert lecturers, for the purpose of explaining to empl1yes more thoroughly the theory and prac- tice of railroading, particularly in its relation to accidents.
 The Hartman lines have spent ser- eral million dollars for improved block signal safety systems in the last few. years. With these devices comes the necessity for increased education Cf the man, and the company through a travelling school is endeaTorins to help them gain the necessary instruction. The car is in charge of w. Nichols, who is lecturer for the department of instruction for dispatchers. With him are associated w. H. Pitts of Oakland aud J. s. Moore of Fresno. who in-. struct the engineers.
 The instruction is organized as care fully as college course. The car has completely equipped school room. in which the lecturers hold forth to yard men and all employees who come in contact with the operation ns trains. At the lecturers desk is a miniature block system, by means of which the pupils can be graphically shown the operation of this wonderful sys. eIn in minutest detail Behind are charts Illustrating change of time table, and blaekboards showing tabulated sys- tems with rules governing changes in .1u l-s- ..f F5, trains by telegraph.
 The instruction carries with it its board of examiners to instruct em- ployes at every division as to the standard runs for operating trains. Between stations where there are yard crews the car runs as an extra stopping at each station to examine and instruct railroad telegraph oper- ators. As the lectures are open to all, it provides brakemen with instructions for conductors, and firemen with in structions for engineers, far in ad- vance of their regular examinations for protection.
 The car is now on the coast division and has since last october covered the entire system. IL will be five more weeks on the trip. completing it about August 31st, the last three weeks being spent in San Francisco. The car is run as an extra, stopping at each sta tion to examine and instruct railroad telegraph operators and at yard ter minals the school sessions are held in the forenoon and afternoon.
 This work is entirely in addition to the ordinary examination given em- ployes before they enter the service, while the pupils chief interest is in the fact that it makes the men more competent through advanced knowl- edge. Yet it has a great interest for the men also in that it enables those desirous of increasing their knowledge and bettering themselves to gain ca pacity and therefore stand better chance to gain in position.

The Lien Law.

The Farmers Union is on record as
opposing the lien law, and now that
the candidates are offering themselves
to the dear people, the candidates for
the House and the Senate should be
made to declare how they stand on
this issue. The Union should notsup-
port candidate who will not pledge
himself to vote against the lien law.
The crop mortgage law should be in:
cluded. They should 60 together.
Some will say that this is taking a
part in politics. The Union does not
take any part in politics, but there are
some things that can be gotten at in
no other way. This is one of them.
1t would be impossible to get this law
repealed without asking for it, and if
asking for it's repeal is going into pol
itics, the Union will have togo there
to that extent. Look after this in
your county. Don't let them slip up
on you again. You owe it to yourself
and your county to SEQ to it that the
law is repealed.-Farmers Union Sun.

quest that the same be published:
The Postmaster, Steedman, 8. G.
Sir:
The department has this day called
the attention of road officials to bad
condition of roads on route No. 1, as
indicated in your report on Form N.
755.
You will also take up the matter
with the road officials and patrons in
terested, and inform them that unless
all roads covered by rural delivery
from your Office are properly repaired
during the present summer season
and placed in such condition that un-
interrupted service can be rendered
throughout the year, the withdrawal
of rural delivery from neglected roads
will very likely follow.
Failure to comply with this require
ment should be reported under Sec
ton SO, Instructions" in ample
time to admit of consideration of
amendments of routes before the be-
ginning of winter.
Very respectfully,
P. y. DeGraw,

Amount Of Taxable Property:

Auditor w. D. Dent has completed
entering the tax returnes for the next
collection and is now charging up the
taxes on his books. The following is
list of the property as appears on
the Auditors books: =
The real and personal property for
1907 was 1854, ,575 and for 1905,
Ss, 6s2, ,342, being an increase of $37,-
767. This does not include railroads,
express and telegraph companies,
which will be about 81, 100000 ad-
ditional.
The increase in taxable property
will overbalance the loss OF taxes in
that portion of territory that was
voted into Calhoun county, which will
amount approximately to about $1,000,
in taxable money.
It will be seen from the above that
Auditor Dent has secured most ex-
cellent returns and to his efforts along
this line the increase in taxable prop
erty is largely due.
