Cttlon Pacific to Have Christmas
Trees on all Observation Cars
"Mamma, doesn't Santa Claus ever
come to a railroad train?"
The innocent Query, made by one
of a number of children on the O.P.
Los Angeles Limited last Christmas
gave some one a hunch and this
year Santa Claus will make i;ood on
Childhood's fondest expectations.
For the announcement is made by
William McMurray, General Passen
ger Agent of the Union Pacific
System at Portland that every thru
train on its lines Is lo have a Christ
mas tree, together with a full comp
lement of candy, toys and all of the
fixings necessary for a real Christmas
Eve celebration.
And that means that the venerable
Balnl will have to catch 25 differ nt
trains speeding at a mile a minute
across widely separated portions of
the West, bearing not only a big tree,
but a huge pack that contains every
thing necessary to make it a treasure
chest of real Christmas fun. On each
pack will be the address;
"For the kiddies who have to
travel on Christmas. Willi the
holiday greetings of the Union
Pacific System."

Tree surgery, as It is prncflced to
day, is less l han a quarter of a cen

Its beginnings, and the past ten years
have been the era of its greatest de
velopment. It may he snfd that this
development has closely paralleled that
of the automobile. In both cases the
original principle was sound, but It
has taken n coed many years to bring
about the refinements which constitute
the efficient gas-driven car and per

Ten years ago it is doubtful If half

Speak forcefully In confirming the ac
