Public Safe on S. p. Trains

mot single passenger on the
Southern Pacific has lost his life
through collision or derailment for
more than four years" said w. R.
Scott, general manager of the South
ern Pacific, in commenting on the
efforts of the railroads to protect
their passengers from accidents.
Our last fatalities were in the
collision at Webster and First
streets, Oakland, in 1908, when a
main line train crashed into a sub
urban train. Since then the only
persons killed or injured by our
trains have been trespassers.
The Southern Pacific has thrown
every possible safeguard around its
passengers. The report of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission last year
showed that the Southern Pacific
system had greater automatic block
signal mileage than any other rail
road in the United States.
Here are some interesting sta
tistics which should convince almost
anyone that a passenger on South
ern Pacific train is safer than man
walking along the street: During
the last four years 157, 100000 pas.
sengers were safely carried to theil
destinations on the Southern Pacific
lines, travelling an average distance
of AZ miles, or total of 6,594, 900,
900 miles, or 265,OOO times around
! the world

TALKS ON ADVERTISING TO TID-
INGS READERS.
(By Ralph Kaye.)

Real estate is commodity. Like
other commodities, it has known
value and use. Therefore it should
appeal to nearly all classes. Again,
like some commodities, certain real
estate appeals to certain classes of
people Price, location, buildings,
restrictions, ETC., cause this. 1t is
just this distinction that you should
base your real estate advertising on.
This necessitates a thorough study of
the land to be sold; i. e., take, for
instance, it's location. Is it too far
out for comfortable daily city trips
What appeal does the outlook make ?
What class is the trend of building
progress. You should follow thi:
line of thought in its advantages
price and terms, building restric'
tions and right down the line, pick,
ing out the possibilities and recon
structing them along known human
lines.

Electric Theatre

The Electric Theatre program for
Thursday and Friday is follows:
"Ashes of Three, two reel Ameri-
can drama. Bud Halworth was stu
pid, ssllen brainless man, despised by
the villagers. He knew no father and
had an Indifferent mother. A short
distance from the cabin where lived
this youth resided an intelligent. manly
boy named Ed with his mother. On
the breast of this youth was pinned the
star of sheriff. and away he wen
into the woods to hunt terror" who
had been killing people and destroying
property for weeks past. But not long
after his departure he was brought
back with a bullet hole through his
heart. That afternoon the mother of
Bud Halworth died. but the boy was too
dull to realize the significance of her
death. The death of Ed had played so
much upon the mind of his mother that
she was just about to throw herself
over a precipice when she was caught
by Bud, who had followed. In the fol-
lowing days she began to love Bud
with a mothers love. which brought a
perceptible change in him. One day he
rose quickly from the door step on
which he was sitting and ran into
town, where he heard news of the
terror. Selling the guns from the
sheriff's belt, he bolted into the woods,
pounced down with terrific force upon
the terror, bound him and brought
him to town. The sheriff pinned the
star upon his breast and he ran home
to show it to his mother. This
brought vague memories to the shat
tered womans mind of her dead son,
and she fell dead. When they had
buried her the villagers saw, silhou-
cited against the setting sun the beau
tiful form of Bud Halworth, despised
among men, standing at the brow of
the dangerous precipice. The stoop of
his shoulders was gone-fire had come
into the big, handsome eyes-a new
being had been born-from the ashes
of three-a man was made.

Tennis Players Lose at Portland
(From the Oregonianl

The second rounds of the Oregon
state tennis championships at the ir-
vington courts Tuesday were featured
by fast and furious playing on the part
of outsiders, among whom f. r. Me-
Cormick, the Long Beach, Cal. star.
was the leading figure.
The southerner's net game was again
the winning part of mis- play against
Charles Hall, of Hood River. whom he
trounced without trouble, 81, 6-2. Hall
was unable to cope with the deft net
passes which Mccormick shot past with
deliberate aim on either side.
Mccormick terrific smash and hard
driving, coupled with an excellent
serve, is making him terror to those
who expect to meet him. Halls play
ing was marked by finely developed
forehand drive, but his inability to es
cape Mccormick gave him little chance
to profit through its use.
Baker and Dewitt, of Hood River
played a steady game against Andrews
and Richardson, but went under 6-3

s. A. MITCHELL WILL
LOCATE in HOOD RIVER

s. A. Mitchell, formerly banker of
Rock Valley. Ia. who is close friend
of M. NJ. Hill, will locate in business
here. MIR. Mitchell and his family
have already taken up their residnece

The following expressions of regret
at his leaving that community are
made by the Rock Valley Bee:
''lt has been many years since a
family left Rock Valley which will be
missed in as many ways and in so
many places as will that of S. A.
Mitchell. MIR. Mitchell has been a
resident of Rock Valley for nearly 25
years, has helped in no small way to
make the town what it is and has
grown with it. Prominent among the
business men, leader in social and
spirited citizen, to say that he will be
missed is but putting it mildly. When
the First National bank was organized
he became one of its heaviest stock
holders and was elected vice president,
which position he held until few days
ago. Mr.. Mitchell was serving his
third term as a member of the city
council from which position he re-
signed at the last regular meeting.
ABOUT year and half ago, when
there seemed to be a demand for a
Commercial club, MIR. Mitchell was one
of the chief agitators for such a move
ment and at the first meeting of the
club he was unanimously elected its
| hn oil n
officers last spring he was reelected t
the same position. At the last regular
meeting of the club held Thursda!
evening in few well chosen word
thanking the members of the club fo
their loyal support during his incum
bency, Mr.. Mitchell handed in his res
ignalion. After few remarks ex
pressing regret from several member
of the club, Mayor Walpole was callet
upon and after brief survey of wha
Mr.. Mitchell's services have meant I,

club has accomplished under his W is,

Lewis BlO0dhOunds Arrive

The two thoroughbred bloodhounds
recently ordered by Marshal Lewis
have arrived and are row shifting the
local atmosphere in an effort to scent
criminals. 1t is thought that they may
yet be able to get the parties who stole
the Fourth of July pigs. The pair of
man hunting brutes are from famous
family of dogs that were used before
the Civil war in pursuing escaped
slaves. Marshal Lewis thinks that the
knowledge among professional thieves
that the dogs are here will tend to free
the city from the visits of these light
fingered gentlemen.
