Salaries of Railway Officials.

So many wild ideas exist about
the salaries paid railroad officials
that it is interesting to see the
Railway Age Gazette nail them H.
a recent issue. Under the head
ing, more Lies About Railway

as untrue the es innate made by

Journal that he pay Of otfici Als
amounts to SII3,577,too d Year,
and says:
The Interstate CONNIE &c Com
mission has published sufficient
data to show exactly what are the
average salaries paid to railroad
officers, and to demonstrate COO
clusively that even taking into
consideration the high salaries
paid to a very few, these averages
a:e exceedingly modest. Accord
ing to the Commissio IS la'est de-
tai ed statistics on the subject
there were $40 general officers
on all the roads Of the country in
1914, and their total compensation
was $2I,338,995, an average of
only $3717 a yer. This includes
all the class of officers embraced
in the Employees Journals list
and in addition, some of The more
highly paid classes not mentioned

Los Angeles Examiner.

One of the Senate's strongest
champions of good roads is Sena-

ard half ago, speaking in the

fol owing G PRESTON:

This expression might we'll be-
come the motto of any Good

Senator Ashurst, Of Arizona, is
now urging the passage of a bill
appropriating one million dollars
for the purpose of constructing

The proposed reduction of
the Papago reservation is by
the elimination of a strip of
eight miles wide across the
northern boundary and by
the automatic elimination of
all mineral lands as fast as
they are declared so by the
geological survey, and re-
moval of the eastern boun-
Diary westward to the ridge
of the Baboquivari noun
tains. The agreement will
eventually cut the proposed
reservation in half, and leave
a route for a road to Ajo

To Democratic Voters !!

Judge Kibbey is a Republican, and if he did
not stand by his principles and talk Republican
doctrine from the stump you and we would not
respect him. But in office, as he has proved over
and over again, he is one of the least partisan of
men. For example, when he was Governor, of
the force of twenty Arizona rangers appointed
and kept in office by him, seventeen were Demo
Gratis. Their Captain, Harry c. Wheeler, was
and is Democrat and is the present Sheriff of

Farmers, Attention

In order to be of the greatest as
sistance to the farmers of Cochise
County 10 helping them to solve
their individual prob ems and to
assist in planning farms for the
greatest efficiency, il Is necessary
that the County Agricultural
Agent have a plan of each farm.
Since il is impossible for the
County Agricultural Agent to
visit every farmer who may desire
such assistance and make plan
o. his tsrm, it is hereby requested
tn It interested farmers send plans
of their farms. The plan need not
be compile ,ted, but simply
sketched The following should
be included:
1. Name and address, distance
and direction from pos,office,
range, township and section num-
Der.
2. Show the location of build~
ings, road, we'll, garden and Or
chard, fences, irrigation bitches
(if irrigation is used, and amount
Of water).
3. Show the direction of the
fall of the land and the approx.
mate amount of fall per mile.
a l. cation of fields, number
acres in each field, crops grown on
each field last year, this year and
crops planned for each field for
next year.
s. Amount and kinds of live
stock kept, including poultry.
After few moments thought
you will find that the above out
line is easy to make out and will
require only few minutes, if you
know your own farm and if you
do not know your farm. then it is
all the more important that you
make plan and become acquaint-
ed with it. Even if you have no
immediate problems, make out the
plan and send a copy to the under
signed and see what happens.

Southern Pacific Claims to be First
In Adopting "Safety First

The prac ical application of the
Safety Frs principle on the
Southern Pacific, dates back as
far as the days of the construction
of the Central Pacific. At that
time treaty was entered into be-
tween the railroad company and
the various tribes of Indians, un-
der the terms of which the red
men, even when on the war path,
rigorou sly abstained from molest-
ing the passengers or employees
The attention of the United States
Senate was called to this in 1888,
when Attorney Creed Haymond
referred to it in an argument be.
fore the Senate CO mmittee on Pa.
citic Railroads in the following
language:
"The situation in like respect
was not less dangerous between
the Sierra and Ogden. That
country was infested with hostile
Indian tribes, constantly at war
W tn the whites. While this dan
ger existed and had to be met, it
was not by force of arms, but by a
treaty made between the Central
Pacific Company and the Indian
tribes between the Sierra and o..
den. which has on both sides been
most faithfully kept from that day
to this.
MANY times since the construc-
tion of the road these tribes have
been at war with the United States.
In no single instance have they
violated that solemn treaty or in
jured a man connected with the
railroad or passenger borne upon
its trains. The influence of the
treaty was felt long years after
ward, and still is felt, on the
Southern Pacific Railroad lines.
"The same obligation was i'm
pliedly entered into between the
Apache Indians, the widest tribe
known to the continent, and to
the railroad company. Although
that tribe has carried murder and
arson over the territories Of New
Mexico and Arizoua and the north
ern states of Mexico, in no single
instance has it interfered with
the trains of the Southern Pacific,
its passengers Or section men,
though repeatedly war parties
have crossed and recrossed the
track"
Even to this day, under the
terms of treaty with the Pah-
Utes made In 1882, members Of
that tribe are entitled to f ee trans
t portation in the state Of Nevada.

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-03-30

ice. many miles long and very. very
wide. Now this river of ice moved
like other rivers, but only one inch
each year. 1t went SO slowly that not
even the animals knew it was moving,
and when it came down to the sea,
like other rivers, it broke off in great
pieces, larger than the largest house.
When these great pieces of ice came
splashing into the water they made
such a noise that the polar bear. who
had been down to the shore to catch
a fish went scampering home thinking
he heard thunder.
One of the pieces of ice that broke
from the end of the frozen river was
smaller than the rest and floated away
fastest with its bright peak glistening
in the sunlight.
Hobo it laughed. This is much
better than being a part of the great
frozen river. Now 1 shall sail to the
south and turn into water again"
So it floated and fioated until 1t
heard someone call. please give us
a ride, Mr.. Iceberg"
"AIl right; climb on" 1t said as it
turned to see two little seals that were
swimming nearby. 1t was the first
time it had ever been called Mister"
and it was proud to think that it was
really truly iceberg, although but
little one.
Where do you want to go?" it
asked the seals.
I'VE want to find our mamma" they
said. I'VE were playing and got lost
| She is in the south somewhere-not
far. But you must not melt until we
see her"
The little iceberg promised to do its
best and away it sailed with the two
little seals cuddled up on its back with
their big brown eyes watching ever
so carefully for their mamma.
"Oh, l do hope Mr.. Iceberg won't
melt very soon" said one of the little
seals. but the iceberg only laughed to
itself. for it knew that it was seven
times as large under the water as II
was above, and steered for the place
where it had heard there were many
seals.
Pretty soon the little seals saw their
/ mamma, ana NlIdt d SpldSiliilP tney
made in the water when they thanked
the iceberg and went Topping off to
join her.
1T is nice. after all. to be an ice
berg" it said when 1t saw the seals
were so happy. And now maybe
can do one more good turn before
melt" Then it sailed on for many
miles. and the farther 1t went the
smaller 1t got.
One day. when just a little peak
was shining above the green waves, it
saw great ship with bands playing
and many people sitting on the decks.
