Tresna.sers Killed on Track.

A report on the general subject OF
trespassing has recently been issued
by an eastern railroad company. Its
police department, during the year
1911, spent more than $4,000 on its
campaign against trespassing, or
nearly one-flfth Of the total cost of
maintaining the company's police
force. In the efforts of the com.
pany's agents to enlighten the public
on this subject and to enlist the In
tcrest of magistrates and other local
officers, attention is being given more
especially to these trespassers who
are not to be classed as tramps-well-
meaning people who use the railway
tracks as thoroughfares. In the
statement on this subject which has
been given out by the company, It is
said that on American railways in the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1911, the
number of trespassers killed was 5,2S4,
and the number injured was 5,614.
That is to say, there are more people
killed in this way on the railroads
than from all other causes combined.

Much Detail In Work.

Ten movements are involved in the
delivery Of a special train order:
Telegraphing the order to the sta
tions; writing down of the order as
received; repetition of the order by
the station operator to the dispatcher;
o. K. on the transmission by the dis.
patcher; acknowledgment of the o. X.
by the operator; comparing copies
with the recipients of the order and
receiving their signatures; telegraph
ing the signatures to the dispatcher;
acknowledgment OF the signatures an6
permission to deliver order; indorse-
ment of this reply on the order, and
final delivery of the order to the train
men,
Not until the final step in this
round has been taken is the order
considered complete. After It has
been finally sealed the operator makes
triplicate tissue copies, one Of which
he hands to the conductor, one to the
engineer and the third he keeps him
self
Some roads demand that the conduc-
tor read his copy to the engineer in
the presence Of the operator. On
some it is the custom to deliver the
order only to the conductor.
When his order has been carried
out the dispatcher draws a blue pen.
Gil line through his copy book and
signs his initials. II he is relieved
before all steps have been completed
his relief signs the order to show
that he understands It.
The process of making orders and
delivering them is as simple as a
primer after a little experience But
when freight is heavy and excursions
are running, the business of division
entails many combinations.

cried the wounded policeman.
That's easy shouted Dennis
Breen, a brother patrolman. Breen
charged, but retreated with a wounded
hand.
Again and again some of the finest"
advanced, executed flank movements
and feigned onslaughts from the front
while others ran in at the rear.
Each time the short, sharp beak
shot out; each time there was a
squawk of triumph from the bird and
a tapping of wings, and each time one
Of the attacking party was wounded.
Finally Policeman Thomas Morgan
crawled forward with his helmet in his
hand, threw It over the birds head
and won the battle.
The policemen had responded to a
telephone call, Send the wagon in a
hurry" from 800 East Fiftieth street.
They found the bird screaming and
tapping it's wings on the ground in a
back yard adjoining the residence of
A. s, Trude at Drexel boulevard and
Fiftieth street. 1t had been injured
and could not fly.

KEEPS TRACK OF ITS CARS
Every Railroad Employs Experts Whs
Lock After This Business, Which
ls Their Sole Occupation.

In the course Of year many nil
lions OF dollars change hands in the
settlement OF railroad mileage ac-
counts. and in no commercial opera
ton is the same confidence displayed
in handling such a vast amount OF
money. No opportunity whatever is
given the different roads to go back OF
the signatures of the respective ON
GERS for an examination Of the mile
age as certified by them, and while
this may be taken advantage Of in
some few instances. IL is the exception
and not the rule. and is only. resorted
to by roads on the edge Of bankruptcy

while on its line the same care as TO

Is to carefully examine every car
offered and see that it is in perfect

II there are some small defects
about the car which do not materially
affect its running, as a broken door
or cracked oil box cover the car IS
accepted, but a defect card is tackled
on each side of the car, showing that
it is accepted with such minor de-
fects as may be enumerated.
Freight cars rarely get lost or
stolen. Connected with the car de-
partment of every road are several
lost car" agents, whose duty 1t is to
look up delayed or lost cars. Every
month a list is furnished these men
by the car accountant, giving the num-
Der Of cars then con foreign roads
which for some cause are being de-
layed. 1t is the duty of these agents
to find out where the cars are and
send them home.

Caution Causes Delays.

Delays on the rail in winter are
caused as much by caution as any
thing else. All operators are warn
ed to run no risks during extreme
cold weather Sometimes the cold
prevents the automatic signals from
properly working.
The expense Of operating a rail-
road during extreme cold weather Is
enormous. Fuel bills are greatly In
creased and revenues are reduced be-
cause Of the nonmovement Of per-
ishable commodities. This winter
has been extremely cold, rather than
one with quantities Of snow. There
are instances where one night fall of
snow will represent 100000 Of ex.
pense to a railroad the next day. It
Is not uncomomn that the item Of
clearing a railroad system of snow
will represent from 100000 to $780,
900 In a single winter.
Notwithstanding all this, passenger
traffic has moved with considerable
freedom and certainly a minimum
amount of discomfort to the travelling
public.

Surprises Of the Rail.

AS a means of training to engine
drivers so that they will not fail to
see signals, railroads constantly use
test or surprise signals. The method
is to flash signals calling for the
driver to slow up or stop when there
is no real reason for it. Then II the
driver fails to see the signal he is told
at the end of his trip that at certain
point and a certain moment Of his
run he failed to obey signal. Nothing
has happened except that the driver
has been made more alert by the ad-
monition. The training is kept up
until 1t becomes impossible for the
driver to pass signals without regard
ing them. This sort of training is re-
garded by many railroad men as con-
stantly necessary to keep the men
ever on the alert for signals, SO that
when the moment comes that there is
real danger there will be no possi-
bility of their failing to heed the warn
ing and obey it.
Some psychologists Of the road as
sert that the training makes 1t impos-
sible for the men to fall into the habit
of noticing certain stereotyped sig
nails and not recognizing others.

BEST FRUIT
CROP EVER
Payette and Boise Val
leys will Yield Inn
mense Crops.

Payette, May 22.-G G. Wall,
travelling agent for the Pacific
Fruit Growers Express. was in
Pavette Tuesday gathering sta
tistics relative to the fruit crop
of the Payette and Boise valleys.
Mr.. Wall stated that in his judg-
ment the 1912 crop would be the
largest in the history of both
valleys and that his company
was well supplied with ice at all
the principal towns to properly
handle the crop in a satisfactory
manner.
There is 2600 tons of ice
stored at Payette, said Mr..
Wall. six hundred tons at En-
nett, $500 tons at Boise, 600
tons at Nampa. 500 tons at
Caldwell and $50 tons at Weiser.
In addition to this we have a re
serve of 1900 tons at Hunting
ton, IL, 900 tons at North Pow
der and 14,000 tons at Poca
tello, all of which can be drawn
upon at a moments notice. As
to cars, We have an ample sup
ply. Last year we bad in opera
tion 10, 500, which in addition
to 1000 which we will have by
the middle of the summer will he
sufficient 10 handle the crop in
the mos expenitiOus way"
The fruit growers of the Pay
cite valley are feeling decidedly
optimistic over the fruit pros
pect, and are already engaging

now set SO thickly that no tree
could possibly bear up under the
burden OF the immense crop. A

Bumper Crop in Eastern Part

Prospects for a bumper fruit
crop this year are just as prom
ising in the extreme east part OF
the state as in the Boise and
Payette valleys" said j. o..
Mcpherson, state horticultural
Inspector, who has returned from
an official trip to that section
"The season, of course. is laJer
IN that part of the state, but the
fruit is far enough along to indi-
cate that a record crop will be
harvested in Fremont, Bingham
and Bonneville counties, unless
all signs fail. Most of the trees
are in full bloom now and the
general condition is indeed most
fattering."
