PROGRESS OF FRISCO LINES.

During the past year several in
dex's of the progress of the Frisco
lines has become manifest, for in
stance:
The inauguration of through SER
vice from Saint Louis, Memphis and
Birmingham to Los Angeles and San
Francisco, by connection with the
Santa Fe at Waynoka, Oklahoma.
The inauguration of the seven hour
mail service between Saint Louis and
Chicago on the c. & i. |.
To expedite the settlement Of
freight claims the Frisco has abolish
ed the office of freight claim agent
and arranged for the department
creating the claim to investigate and
carry it through TO conclusion.
The organization of safety commit
tees at each of its terminals and on
cdCn OIL JNe ulNlSloiS VI INC riiS'o'
in which all of the employees are
uniting in an effort to reduce the
number of personal injury accidents
The inauguration Of a plan where
by station agents are made respon-
sible representatives of the COM
pany, supplanting the travelling pas
senger and freight agents, as well
as the claim agents Under the new
plan the agent will represent the
company in his territory in its in
dustrial development and deal in
every way with problems between the
public and the railroad without re-
ferring them to a higher official.
In the encouragement OF better
public highways, the Frisco sent out
over it's lines a special train tho
roughly equipped with models OF
standard types OF road construction.
The train was manned by representa-
tiyes of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, who gave ste
roptican lectures at various stations
along the line.
