tiEAVERTON TIMES. VOL III. BEAVEETON, WASHINGTON COUNTY, OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 27,191G. NO. 44 SOUTHERN PACIFIC ISSUES WARNING In order to lessen 'the death late at the crossinir of the south ern Pacific, that company has issued a 'circular to be posted in every garage in the company's territory. Their circular reads as follows: "Please read this appeal H may save your life. "Every yar brings an increase in motor vehicle accidents at railroad grade crossings. Graile crossings are unavoidable. They tire one of the inconveniences of progress, to be eliminated just as rapidly as practicable. The railroads are doing their best, but it takes time and a great deal of money, "No matter what safeguards we throw about our grade cross ings, our labor is in vain without your help. All signs, bells, whis tles, gates and flagmen are help less before an automobile driver's recklessness. "For the purpose of observing the care exercised by drivers of motor vehicles, this company placed men at a large number of trrade. crossings on this line. Their observations .were start ling! Of 83,50) drivers lifty-three per cent looked neither way be fore Crossing railroad track! Eight per cent loaked one way 'only, and but 174 drivers, or fifty-two oiie-hundredths of one per cent, actually stopped their Ttiachine3 before crossing. "From these actual otweiva- tions it is apparent that men of undoubted intelligence choose to risk life and limb rather than wait a few minutes to let a train pass. - "Because yoa cnce took a chance at a grade crossing and ran your automobile safely uv front of an approaohine train, do not trust to luck that you can do It again, "Trains must run on tracks and On time. Their operator? have no choice of routes. But the automobilist can choose and reg ulate his rate of speed. "If drivers of motor vehicles would always associate the sight of a grade crossing with the in stant application of their motors' brakes, accidents to automobilists at grade crossings wold soon be scarce. May we urge that you let the sign of a grade crossing sign instantly convey to you the warning to slow down or stop? It is a habit as easily acquired as your obedience to the . traffic policeman's unraised Band. "On the formation of this habit your life and thoseof your loved ones may soma, day de pend. It is better to wait at a grade crossing than in a doctor's office." INTEREST IS GROWING DAILY IN OUR CONTEST . ' ASK POfl COUPONS AT THE STflflES AND VOTE THEM FOR YOUR FAVORITE CANDIDATE.
