SAFETY OF RAILROAD TRAVEL

The Union Pacific System-Union
Pacific Railroad, Oregon Short Line
Railroad. Oregon Washington Rail-
road and Navigation Company-is
now reaping the benefits of years OF
consistent effort to promote safety of
travel on its lines
Within a period of four years
the Union Pacific System fell
short of perfect record for safe
ty by only one accident resulting
In death.
During the past five years 100000
have been expended in installing
Automatic Electric Block Signal pro-
lection on its lines and every mile OF
the way from Omaha to its western
terminals is under this protection.
To reduce to a minimum the haz-
ard of accident. the Union Pacific
system during the past ten years has
been drilling its trainmen in the OBJ
servance of danger signals by a sys-
tenn of surprise tests, the results or
which have been very satisfactory, W
per cent Of them being successful,
and those classed as failures" were
respected sufficiently to have averted
accident.
Every accident involving hazard
of human life is promptly investigat-
ed to determine the cause and to pre-
scribe, If possible, a remedy against
4 recurrence.
The Result of All This Effort
Means Superior Service When
You Travel Via the Union Pacific
System.

found the long board platform beside
the canal crowded with her fellow

aware of a tall, familiar figure NOV
