A runaway Yesterday ran in.

A runaway yesterday ran in
to the electrolier in front of
the Valley Savings Bank and
broke the large globe as we'll as
the light. City electrician
Owen was coming down town
in his two cylinder racing car
and as he crossed Sixth street
the runaway team almost ran
into him coming north on Sixth.
The team, which was attached
to q small load of hay, turnt d
at Sixth street al d started af-
ter Mr.. Owen down the street.
If there is one thirg the City
Electrician is proud of it is the
speed of his two cylinder d. mon
but the way that team kept
gaining on him made him think
maybe the car was not doing all
it should. The team was weav.
ing from side to side and finally
struck the pole with such force
that the reach was broken and
the team nearly stopped, but on
Mr.. Owen went at the terrific
speed Of perhaps twelve miles
an hour and just managed to
turn up Third street when some
brave hearted men ran out and
stopped them. 1t was q close
call anyway.

ers carried as compared with the
year before of nearly million. or
to be exact 2.92 per cent.
These statistics. indicating the
extent of the record-breaking traf.
fic handled with complete safety
by this great railway system over
its 10000 miles of line, have just
recently been made public in the
annual report of the company.
The exact total was 33,389,428,
the equivalent of over one.third Of
the entire population of the United
States, as compared with a record
of 32,441,45O in 1913. which also
represented large increase over
the preceding years.
A clearer conception of the null.
titude of people represented in
these figures may be obtained by
observing that to transport the en-.

require 556,49O coaches seating
60 passengers each, to carry them,
and with seven cars in train 1t
would take 79,49S locomotives to
haul the cars.

The total mileage travelled by

way passenger trains during the
year was 21.537.7S1, or nearly one
thousand times the distance around
the earth.
That this remarkable safety rec
ord should have been accomplished
by the railway which was the lead
ing line in the Safety movement
is a source Of great satisfaction to
the Chicago & North Western Rail-
way officials. who attribute the re-
suits not only to the safety habits
which it is their constant endeavor
to instill into their employees. but
to the increasing cooperation of
the public in the Safety First cam
paign.
1t is proof positive Of the sue
cess Of the policy on which the
company has been working. that it
pays to provide the Best Of Every
thing, while the increase in travel
over this line shows that the trav-
cling public naturally prefers
railway whose management is con-
stantly devoting its best efforts
and mourning great expense not
