SOUTHERN ELIMINATING
MANY GRADE CROSSINGS

Danville, Vain connection with
the double track work which it has
had under way in Virginia and North
Carolina during the past fiscal year on
1924 miles Of its Atlanta-Washington
line, Southern Railway has eliminated
81 out of 73 grade crossings. By the
building of underpasses 20 were elm
mated, by overhead bridges 10, and
by changing the direction of public
highways IS. The 19 which remain
are so located as to make their elimi-
nation physically impossible or they
involve prohibitive damages to abut-
ting property.
In all construction work involving
the relocation or double tracking OF
it's lines the fixed policy of Southern
Railway Company is to separate all
important highway crossings OF the
revised lines wherever practicable.
Though this policy means large addi-
tional expense, such expense is under
taken as a permanent investment for
safety.
Southern Railway has also co-operat-
ed with municipal and county author
tiles in the elimination Of many dan
gerous crossings on others of its lines
throughout the South. 1t has devoted
to work of this character as much as
its resources and other obligations
make Bessible and President Fairfax
Harrison has announced that this pol
icy will be continued.

revised line, wherever physically prac-
ucable, and this policy will be contin-
ued for the future
Given the history Of our transpor-
tation and highway systems and the
enormous cost Of adjusting them to
modern conditions, the elimination OF
grade crossings is and in the very
nature Of the problem must be a grad
ual development with the growth OF
population and wealth, but, meanwhile,
good judgment on the part Of all con-
cerned can do much to anticipate the
benefits Of the admittedly desirable
expenditure of large sums Of money.
Tha same sober sense Of responsible
ity for life on the part Of automobile
drivers which actuates most locomo-
tive engineers, and in addition the
willingness of the automobile driver in
such a high interest to subordinate
his time and convenience to that of
the greater number represented by
railroad train, can check a waste OF
life and limb and property which is
now increasing every year.
"To this end appea! confidently for
the counsel of every responsible man
and woman in the South, whether or
not he or she drives an automobile.
Words of caution and common sense
around the family dinner table can
have more influence and can save
more lives at railway grade crossings
than all the warning whistles ever
blown by a locomotive engineer"

Washington, D. C.-The following
setter has been addressed to the pub
lie by Mr.. Fairfax Harrison, president
of Southern Railway Company:
"The automobile has greatly in
creased the comfort and convenience
of life, and It has been an important
uSssSor in the improvement Of country
highways and so has contributed to
the progress Of civilization OF our
time, but, just Us the railroad DID
when 1t revolutionized commerce. the
automobile has introduced new social
complications and new risks, moral as
well as physical.
1.-THE American people are said to
be characteristicaIly reckless Of hu-
man life, and perhaps in nothing is
this statement more justified at the
moment than in relation to the use OF
automobiles-not even the railroads.
My particular interest in the ques-
ton is, where my public responsibility
lies, in the combination Of the two
in the accidents which occur to auto
mobiles and their occupants where
aighways cross railways at grade: and
this is question Of sufficient import
ance to warrant the attention Of every
thinking man in the South.
Record For One Year
''The following table shows the ap-
palling record Of such accidents on
lines operated by Southern Railway
Company in the South during the year
ended June 80, 1915.

without seeking to avoid just re-
sponsibility for what the officers or
employees of the railroad do or omit,
but recalling that a railroad employee
Swhose carelessness causes an acci-
dent is, in the public interest, subject
to discipline which affects his hvei-
hood, it is probably fair to say that
large proportion Of these accidents
happened solely through the careless
ness Of the drivers Of automobiles,
Ar their lack Of experience in dealing
with vehicles at high speed. There
are among them also well authenticat-
hpd cases Of deliberate assumption Of
Risk by the drivers Of automobiles
from pure love Of excitement and
Sspeed, evidenced by racing with trains
and seeking the thrill Of narrow es-
cape. Our enginemen report such oc-
scurrencss daily. If fortunately they
are without fatal consequences in the
fgSf majority Of cases, they are al
ways paid for by heavy strain on
she nerves OF all concerned, particu-
ssly those Of the locomotive engineer,
who maintains speed from duty and
not for fun. It is not too much to
claim for the locomotive engineer
larger equipment of experience and a
yreater habit of precaution than the
average automobile driver. AS class
hes locomotive engineers are sober,
teady and conservative men Of long
Experience in meeting and avoiding
risks, for theirs is a dangerous occu-
baton. Their every effort Of charac-
er, of instruction and Of interest is
D avoid an accident Most of the ac-
idents to automobiles at railway
rade crossings could be avoided If
here was the same restraint of ex-
erience and attention at the wheel
h the automobile as at the throttle

With the championships in all Of
the popular sports of the frontier
world to be decided before o'clock
this evening, the cowgirl and the
cowboy contestants, who in the pre-
liminaries Of the two previous days,
have qualified for the right to con-
tinue their efforts in the semi-finals
and finals, are this afternoon giving
the uttermost that is in them to the
struggle for supremacy. The best
riders, the best ropers and the best
bulldoggers that have been developed
on the narrowing rangelands of the
west are pitted against each other and
the 10000 people or more gathered
about the big stadium for the con-
cluding exhibition Of the sixth annu-
al Roundup have caught the spirit
of the contest and are watching in
tently, cheering wildly and thrilling
all over with sensations that chase
each other over their quivering nerves
The grand climax of frontier exhi-
bitions has been reached in this the

Thousands Are on Hand.
The mammoth grandstand and long
segments of bleachers are almost a
solid mass of seething humanity, a
hazy blue sky hangs over the scene
and a slight breeze keeps the specta-
tors from overheating in their en-
thusiasm.
1t was not yet quite 1880 when the
bucking bulls and burrows were turn
ed loose at their matchmaking antics
and the first pistol cracked to start
the cowpony race. Allan Drumheller
again finished first in this race with
Mack Gaunt, winner of yesterday,
taking second. Subsiding from the
excitement of the sQuaw race, the
crowd was thrown into high gIee by a
colored buckaroo riding a runaway
horse while facing tailward,

ent from any place on the globe was
presented to thousands of admiring
people this morning in the Westward
Ho parade. the annual pageant Of the
Roundup.

complete in depicting an age that Is

a triumph of pageantry.
Not an important phase of the early
life on the mountains, plains and
rangeland was missed In the long line

bedecked with savage splendor In
their rich trappings; cowboys and
cowgirls, mounted on spirited ponies

freighter outfit, ancestor Of the box

tain trails to the hardy miners and
prospectors; these and many other
features OF the pioneer days passed
in review before the crowd.
A new and unique feature of the
Westward -Ho parade this year was
the float in which Miss Doris Reber,
queen Of the Roundup rode. 1t was
a huge replica Of the first prize saddle
perfectly designed, perfectly stamp
ed and adorned and forming a fitting
throne for the sovereign of the great
frontier festival Dressed in cowgirl
costume, she sat high up on the can
tel and on either side Of her were her
little aides, Thelma Marie Morris and
James Raley Jr,, also wearing from
tier costumes.
The parade was led by w. r. Tay-
lor bearing the standard from which
floated the American flag. He was
followed by the Roundup pennant
bearers. Trumpeters announced the
approach Of the pageant and the
mounted cowboy band followed Inn
mediately behind the trumpeters In
the line Of march were also two other
bands. the Milton and Elgin bands
seated in big band wagons.
The procession passed first up Main
street to Bluff, up Bluff to Thomp'

residence district to Court, down
Court to Main and then south on Main

Wild Steer Causes Stir Among
the Visitors in Happy Canyon

"This is no damn game for a ten
derfoot to play"
Putting, perspiring and excited, a
portly, well dressed, well-fed visitor
at Happy Canyon last night was cast
ing his eye about for a safe retreat
when the above remark escaped him.
He was not consciously humorous.
He was addressing a friend in all
earnestness and he was searching for
a haven Of refuge with real despair
written on his face. The longhorned
steer. which had been released in
the streets OF the frontier town"
had started a near panic when, to
escape the noise and glare and tor
menting cowboys, 1t had twice bolted
into the dancing pavilion and dashed
headlong through the RED Dog Sa-
LOOM scattering people in there like
chaff before a whlrlwind. The port

Drumheller of Walla Walla, who had
won Thursday and Friday and who
had a big lead at the end OF the sec
ond relay today, was delayed in the
third change when his saddle slipped.
This delay enabled both Sleepy Arm
strong champion OF 1914, and Bill
Abbott TO pass him but his eight-sec-
ond lead on the first two days of the
race saved for him the champion
ship. His total time was little less
than two seconds better than Arm
strongs'. Braden Gerking drew out
Of the race today and Darrell Cannon

Bertha Blancett Defends Title.
Bertha Blancett successfully de-
Tended her title as champion cowgirl

Eagle and Eagle on the two previous
days, straightup and free stirrups.
