ELECTRIC BLOCKS ARE
GUARANTEE OF SAFETY

The safety given passengers and
property by a railroad that is equip
ped with the electric block signal
system is not always appreciated. 1t
is little known that in case of
broken rail the danger signals are
at once set in both directions a
distance of two miles away. That
in case of a washout if the rail
connection is broken the same sig
nails are given.
Collisions, rear or head end, are
practically impossible. Nevada citi-
zens are fortunate in having the
Southern Pacific road, which is one
of the few lines in the United States
that is fully equipped with perfect
scientific system of signals. Floods
or storms seem ocause this COM
pany but little trouble they GER
tainly are able to give the people
reliable winter and summer serv-
ice, which means much to any pro-
ductive country, for when one needs
to travel, or ship freight, that is
ready for market it is at times
a calamity to not be able to do so.

Mr. Draper Daugherty was not near

were hints among the members of

fact that his supplies had been cut
off induced Mr.. Daugherty to leave
for Texas, a state which he had
hitherto regarded as Evolutionary.

Mrs. Daugherty is widely known

of the story begins
Plan of Irate Parent
The elder Daugherty had been
making some inquiries about Miss
Gibson. Everything he heard was
to her credit So he came on to
New York this week. looked the
young couple up and got well ac-
quainted with the wife They had
fiat on Amsterdam avenue and,
according to members of Miss Glib
sons company, the father-in-law and
the daughter-in-law learned to adj
mire and respect each other Every
now and then they sent Draper
Daugherty out to get job He
usually returned with a fresh pack
of cigarettes. The elder Daugherty
decided that his sons wife could
come nearer keeping his sons feet
in the narrow path than any one
else, and so he made them a prop
osition.
I'll send you to Texas" he told
the pair.
ODESSA will handle all the money
The most you get Draper, is
chance to go to work on some of
my property out there. You are

Wife Handles the Cash.
According to Mrs. Dessa Daugher-
tvs show-girl friends, her handbag
was filled with $4,000 in cold cash
when she went away, and she had
placed a combination lock on it, of
which she alone knew the combina-
ton. She trotted about town and
paid all of her husbands petty
debts and handled the disbursing
end of a wardrobe account opened
for both Every now and then
Draper got an ice cream soda.
The younger Mrs. Daugherty is
president, general manager and the
treasurer of the firm of Wife and
Daugherty, unincorporated, and the
elder Daugherty is backing her in
her new position.
