High Standard of Maintenance

There is no question that the railroad and rightofway Of the
whole line is maintained in superb condition. The total absence
of dust is constantly noted by the traveller over this line. This is
accounted for by the use of a fine disintegrated granite gravel, taken
from the company's beds at Sherman Hill, just west of Cheyenne,
which is used for ballast, making an exceptionally solid roadbed,
with a resultant of scarcely any dust. The company's stations all
present an attractive appearance, having all been recently reprinted,
and the grounds surrounding them maintained as we'll Is those
of the best eastern railroads. The rightoI-way for 100 feet on each
side of the track is fenced in over the entire line, as protection to,
and damage from, stray cattle, etc. All ties are constantly renewed
and a record is kept in Omaha of every tie installed and the length
of time 1t lasts. The steady adherence to high standards is shown
also in the replacing of all lighter structures with steel bridging.
Nearly IL 900 feet of steel bridging has been built to replace wooden
bridges. In one year this item of expense cost 81, 0O0, 900. Ninety
pound rails are supplanung eighty-pound rails as fast as they can
be laid.

Essential Soundness

The future of the Union Pacific is secure, for four very sub
stantal reasons:
]. The superior physical condition OF the property.
2 The proved ability of the MANAGEMENT to operate the all
road economically.
Z. The promise of the country which the line penetrates and
the boundless opportunity for the further development Of the railroad
4 The valuable equities owned by the Union Pacific in other
railroad securities.

BRIDGE ACHOSS III MlSSOUHl A OmAhA-
Y GENERALLY accepted concensus of opinion, the public
demand of speed, safety and service seem to be the three
pre-eminent requisites demanded of a hrstcass railroad to-
H. day. And in meeting these requirements the Union Pacific
easily challenges comparisons. Speed on the Union Pacific
is already widely known and needs nc mention. Among the latest
safety devices installed is the automatic block signal system, which
is generally conceded to be the most effective means of preventing
railroad collisions, and of avoiding deraiments in case of open
switches or broken rails, that has 80 far been devised, and the
Union Pacific railroad furnishes to it's patrons, absolutely free of
charge, the protection afforded by this system.
The Block Signal System
The principle of the system Is simple. The track is divided into
sections, IT blocks" a mile or so in length, and at each end Of
every block a signal is erected. The most approved form of signal
is that known as the "Semaphore," and this is the type of signal
used O the Union Pacific. 1t consists of a post about twenty-five
feet in height, with a arr or blade near the top. the position of this
arm indicating to engineers of approaching trains whether o r not
1t is safe to proceed through the block.
If there Is a train, an open switch or a broken rail in the block
the arm stands straight out from the post horizontally. When the
block is clear, and it is safe for trains to proceed through it, the
arr is pulled downward until it stands at an angle of about 80
degrees from the post. At night a red light is displayed at the top
of the post when the arm is in the horizontal or danger" position,
and a green light is displayed when the arm is in the inclined or
clear" position.
The operation of the signals used on the Union Pacific is entirely
automatic. An electric current flowing through the rails of the track
holds the signal in the clear position as long as the block is clear.
A train, open switch or a broken rail interrupts this current, thereby
releasing the electric clutch which is holding the signal clear, and
the arm Immediately flies to the danger position. When the block
is again clear the signal is restored to the clear position by a small
electric motor.
Railroad mileage in the United States has reached the grand
total of 227, 900 miles, on which there are now installed IL 1892 miles
lines have to their credit 1882 miles, or one-third OF the total, and
practically all of this system of protection west Of the Mississippi
river.
The cost of installing is approximately s., 500 per mile, with
the maintenance cost about $3.50 a mile annually. The expense
formerly incurred by accidents, which are in this way prevented, by
no means compensated for the cost and operation of such signals. 1t
is in the safeguarding of the travelling public and employees, however,
that the railroads find sufficient inducement. and also in the in
creased volume of business by reason of the feeling of security,
which makes more people travel. In the last ten years over $12,-
100000 have been expended upon safety appliances on the Hartman
lines.

Still Improving

The restless energy Of Mr.. Hartman never halts. His mental
processes are very rapid and even unusual His mind leans
intermediate difficulties, and he goes on a direct way to strong
endeaVor, because he has no time to waste on argument or explana-
tion. He has been among the first tc declare that our present track
guage OF four feet eight and one-half inches is inadequate to present
railway needs and that we must come soon to a sixfoot guage. He
was one of the very first to see the use OF a railway gasoline motor
passenger car to take the place of the locomotive and two heavy
and nearly empty passenger cars of a train, with their expensive
crews. These cars are now used on the Union Pacific, Southern
Pacific and other railways. Someone has said that he would have
made a great general at the head of an army. In these DAVIS of mining
peace he is at the head Of a great industrial army of ia 900 ALI
moving with certain, sure, swift energy and industry.

Willing to Spend Money

The money spent on the Hartman properties, some of it from
capital interested and some from earnings, which has been used to
promote the material development of the states and communities
traversed by those lines, amounts to the enormous sum of nearly
$3.50. 900 900. Roads like the Southern Pacific, the Oregon Short

Pensions

The earliest plan of pensioning employees on an American rail-
road was put in operation by the Baltimore & Ohio in 1884. The
Pennsylvania plan, adopted in 1900, has been the recognized model
on nearly every railroad in the country in the matter of pension
system. Under this plan the employees retirement. is compulsory at
70 years of age, o r may be voluntary for Interpretation between the
ages of 60 and SO, after thirty years of service. Allowance of 1
per cent of the monthly pay, multiplied by the number of years of
service. An employee who has worked for the company for thirty

and the Denver Pacific Railway and Telegraph company, situated in
Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming and Utah, there have been sold
11,113,964.49 acres, representing 1886 sections.
OF the lands granted to the Kansas Pacific Railway company in
Kansas and Colorado, east of Denver, there have been sold 6, 26S,
267 80 acres, representing 1856 sections.

costing $3.50, 900 down to a couple OF passenger coaches switched
of on a siding. Generally, however, these associations are housed in
substantial and handsome structures costing from $4,000 to $4,000.
There are hot and cold water baths, restaurant attachment, dormi-
tories, well equipped gymnasium. library and reading room, billiard
room, riding (writing) room, etc.
Mr.. Hartman has been a good genius, who has aided munif-
Gently in help of the Southern Pacific railway clubs, and the Union
Pacific and it's allied lines enjoy the same facilities, some of the club
houses costing as high as $4,000.

Rewards of Merit

The 1908 inspection on the Union Pacific was completed in
November of that year and was done in the following manner:
The railroad is divided into five superintendent districts, each
of whom has under him a corps of assistants, among them is the
assistant division engineer, a man who is selected for the position
owing to a particular fitness for the work in his charge-mainten-
ence of track. He is a man of many years practical experience with
the pick, signal department, buildings coal houses, depot buildings,
shop buildings, ETC., are inspected. The markings of the inspectors
are averaged and the prizes awarded as follows:
Gold medal given roadmaster having best district on the railroad.
Gold medal given section foreman having best section on the
railroad.
Gold medal given agents having perfect stations.
Silver medal given bumpers having perfect pump houses.
Silver medal given section foreman having best section on dis
trct.
The Wyoming division has the distinction of being in the highest
physical condition this year. The roadmaster on the district between
Cheyenne and Laramie, Wyor winning the gold medal for the best
district on the railroad, and the foreman on the section located in
the vicinity of Kearney, Neb, won the gold medal for the best
section on the entire road.
The medals are so arranged that If the prize is secured more
than once by the same man a bar with the year imprinted thereon
is added to the same.

Hospital and Medical Service

The Southern Pacific, in addition to usually arranged hospital
service, makes Use of a car in its medical work. which is not only
a vehicle of transportation, but a complete hospital on wheels. The
equipment of the car is such that the most delicate operation can be
performed in it at the very scene of a accident with Is much care
as at a regularly equipped hospital. The Union Pacific and all lines
grouped under the general title of the Hartman lines, n equipped
with adequate hospitals and hospital arrangements.

Welfare of the Men

1t is generally understood that all things in connection with a
great railway system has for its final goal only one object, "the
good of the service" which means, of course, the comfort and safety
OF the travelling public, dividends for the stockholders, and more
business for the road. In the case of the Union Pacific it is only
Just to say that the welfare of tbs employees is 10 unimportant factor
and Is magnihcently taken care of by the company. Summed up, 1t
is an effort on the part of the company, over and above the payment
OF wages, toward the betterment of those conditions under which
the employe lives and works. The railroad Young Mems Christian
association shows IN a railroad map of this country fully 80 per cent
OF the mileage, and these receive the commentator and liberal sup
port OF nearly all the great railway companies of the country. AS a
rule. the railway erects the building or furnishes the major portion
of the construction funds and contributes literally to the operating
cost. say 40 per cent, nearly 60 per cent being paid by the members.
