If you care to assault a 340 ton Southern Pacific locomotive with the family flivver, or crash a railroad crossing gate with a Rolls Royce, just sail right ahead, invites J. E. Newman, claims attorney for the company. But, Newman adds, it’s going to cost you money! This year, in accord with its new policy of bringing suit against care less motorists who risk their lives and damage company property, the railroad has collected thousands o f dollars in scores o f claims and judg ments ranging from $2.31 to $300. Last year, one flagman was killed, five others injured and 300 lowered crossing gates along the company’s right o f way crashed through by reckless automobilists. Many stand ing trains were run into and dam aged by careless drivers. And so the railroad decided that during 1926 the careless and the reckless should pay the piper. “ This is a safety move,” Newman said. “ We hope eventually to make it mighty expensive for drivers who speed so fast that they cant stop for small matters like a lowered cross ing gate. It seems that people think more o f their pocketbooks than of their lives. Put up a sign ‘ Beware— Broken Glass on Crossing!” and the average man who tries to beat a train to save thirty seconds would probably slow down out o f respect to his tires. “ Trying to assault a locomotive with an automobile is like trying to stop a charging lion witha pea shooter. It isn't being done success fully; but it is costing those who try the experiment a lot o f money and trouble.” Cascade Locks— 2,000 tons steel will be used in Bridge o f the Gods across Columbia River, to be ready this fall.
