But in nil the essentials this car strikes my limit. Embodied in it are the final results of my twenty- five years of experience. There are improvements made in this car over the best of my previous creations. One can not make an engine which is materially better. Better workmanship is out of the question. Better materials are simply unthinkable. More of simplicity, durability and economy can hardly be conceived.

COTTAGE GROVE DRUG­ GIST DESERVES PRAISE records of the Southern Pacific Com­ pany, according to sta tistic s recently compiled in th e offices of the general m anager of th e company in San F ra n ­ cisco. This m ileage of more than 3,000 miles includes only main line and sec­ ond track. More than seventy per cent of the main line m ileage of the Southern Pacific is protected by block signals. A pproxim ately 100 miles are protected by the manual block signal system , the rem ainder being under the protec­ tion of the autom atic system . Less than th ree per cent of the Southern Pacific lines were equipped w ith block signals in 1902. In 1903 this percent­ age had climbed to a little more than six per cent. From th a t y ear up to the present tim e these safety devices have been steadily installed until to­ day these autom atic blocks extend over nearly three-q u arters of the en tire system 's main line. Im agine th e feeling of safety en­ joyed by th e passenger who trav els over a railroad where every m ile is protected by an autom atic signal. He feels th a t his train cannot collide with the rear of a train ahead, because his engineer is not allowed to go closer to the train ahead than the distance be­ tween tw o block signals. The protec­ tion is good for both n ig h t and day. In the d ay lig h t th e position of the sem aphore arm gives the enginem an his instructions, and a t night the color of th e lig h t tells him how to proceed. Forty per cent of the block signals in operation on the railroads of the United S ta te s are on the Southern Pacific. _______________ Moving Picture Films for Sale.
