present, the members being 7. J. Ehr-
hart, highway commissioner, L. E.
Curtis of the Colorado Springs dis
trict, C. R. McLain of Canon city who
represents the southeastern district
]. NJ. Kuykendall of Denver who rep
resents the northeastern district, L.

sentative of the northwestern district
and Mr.. Herr of this city who repre-
sents the southwestern district.
After filing their oaths Of office and
qualifying the board organized with
]. NJ. Kuydenhall, permanent chair.
man. j. E. Maloney was elected sec.
retary.
OF the probable s500,00o at their
disposal the board apportioned $685.
COO. OF this amount the district rep
resented by Mr.. Herr, which embraces
ssv enteen counties, gets $4,000, La
Plata's share being $4,000.
The law provides that every dollar
of the apportionment must be met

900 of state money will be available
for the improvement of our Ill miles

COLORADO RAILROADS
SAFEST IN THE UNION

Colorado as a healthful country has
another bid for fame besides its air
and sunshine. The state railroad COM
missions report of railroad accidents
during the past fiscal year shows that
for safety the Colorado roads are far
ahead of any other roads in the Union.
The reports show that Colorado rail
roads carried 7,161,514 passengers in
the year, and not one was killed.
Twenty-seven transportation compa-
nies, operating 6,444.14 miles of track
within the state, made reports.
The twenty seven roads killed ia
persons in the year, 68 of them being
trespassers or other persons who
were neither passengers nor employees
There were no passengers, postal
clerks, express messengers of Pullman
employees killed as the result of the
movement of trains. One express mes
senger was killed while handling traf-
fic. Thirty-four employees in other
lines of work were killed, sixteen OF
whom fell from or were struck by
trains, and seven met death in acci-
dents resulting from derailments.
There was an average of 1885 en-
ployes of the class especially exposed
to accidents, enginemen, conductors
brakemen, flagmen, watchmen, switch
men, etc, directly connected with the
movement of trains during the year
Four met death in collisions, eleven
were killed in the handling of tools
machinery, traffic and supplies and
similar accidents which were not con.
nected with the movement of trains
In the United States during the fis.
cal year there were 318 railroad pas
sengers killed, not one in Colorado. Ir
Colorado there were $40 employees es
pecially exposed to accidents to every
one killed; in the United States th'
ratio was $50 to /.
Railroad men say that the most Sc
rious aspect of the commissions re
port is the number of trespasseri
killed. All states are considering law
to prevent trespassing, and bill witt
that object is in the Colorado legis
lature.
