VOID OP FATALITIES
The Southern Pacific Company
Passes Through Without
Serious Accident.
CONSIDERED REMARKABLE
ACHIEVEMENT FOR SYSTEM
Credit Given to Man with Pick
and Shovel in Caring for
11000 Miles of Track.
Continued from Tuesday, July 8.
Portland, Or., July 8. (Special to
Democrat.) Officers and employees
of the Southern Pacific company,
from Julius Kxuttschnitt down to the
most humble section boss on the big
system, are today being congratulated
by the railroad men on the remark
able tact that a railroad system con
taining 11,000 miles of tracks, and
with 46,000 men employed, could pass
through a month without having
single fatal accident among the pas
sengers or employes. It has just be
come known that the Southern Paci
fic company achieved this tea, during
the month of May.
Li operating the trackage of this
t:anscontinentaI rualroad hundred; (

1:i vct.ng thorn, r.pairin cars in yads.
S'v ihrhing trair.s at terminal; aid
constructing new lines, and it seems
nearly incredible that not a single
life was lost cither in travel or among
employes engaged in hazardous oc
cupations. "Steel cars for passengers, safety
appliances such as block signals, au
tomatic couplers, and other safety ap
pliances for the protection of the men,
and sobriety," is the answer handed
out by railroad men who commen'cd
on the May record of the Southern
Facific.
With the elimination of "booze" as
an article of diet among train men
has come an absence of dead men.
The enforcement of the anti-drinking
rules by the Southern Pacific man
agement has brought about a roste:
of clear thinking and quick acting
train dispatchers, engine men and
train men, in whom the company it
self has confidence and whom the pub
lic may safely trust.
What is considered a strong cle
ment in bringing about the absence
of fatalities in May is the prido which
the Southern Pacific company has in
stilled into every section crew. For
years the company has awarded prizes
to the section which was the best kept
up, and naturally the ambition to earn
this prize has brought about a bettor
and safer roadbed, and for this rea
son much credit is given to the man
of the pick and shovel.
CORVALLIS SPORTSMEN
CONDEMN GAME RULING
Decision of Game Protection
Body Means Less Than 20
Days Shooting for Ducks.
Sportsmen of Corvallis and vicinity i
are wanuiy coiiuciuiiing i luuug ui
the National game protective commis
sion fixing the open season for ducks
and geese in this stale from the nine
ty days between September 16 and
ember 16. This practically means
less than 20 days shooting in the up
per valley for these birds do not be
gin to make their appearance here
until about Thank-giving time.
The federal government has as
sumed control of the game laws relat
ing to migratory birds and a National
commission has been appointed with
authority to promulgate and enforce
rules governing their shooting.
The period named by the commis--ion
is satisfactory to the Portland
shooters who hunt on the lower Wil
lamette and on the Columbia river for
that is the best season there, and it
is believed here that the Portland
shotgun men were instrumental in fix
ing the dates.
The Corvallis Rod and Gun club
will cooperate with other organiza
tions of the valley in the effort to have
the ruling amended. Corvallis Re

FORV.ER LINN COUNTY MAN j
RECOVERING OF BLINDNESS!
Enjoys Having Wife Read the

Consistent Subscriber.
The following letter received this
morning may be of interest to some
local people:
Klamath Falls, Ore. July 5. Mr. W.
H. Hornibrook, Editor Democrat:
Enclosed find P. O. money order for
$6.25 to pay for G. W. McLane's Al
bany Democrat up to Ost, '13. He
has had very serious trouble with his
eyes and has been unable to work for
more than three years. Me can see
but very litttle but we think he will

him, especially the Democrat as we
came from Linn county.
My hur band was in the habit of vis
itincr Albany 'every year or so and
while there always called on Mr. Nut

ALTHOUGH IN GUNNY SACK
CAT MAKES GET AWAY
However It Is Again Caught
and by-Standers Have Good
Joke on Owner.
A funny story is being told today
on a prominent business man of the
city. Last evening a peculiar incident
happened, when this said business
man was drivincr along South Wash
ineton street. A eunny sack laden
with something suddenly dropped
from the rear of the buggy, and those
who are. telling about it declare that
thev did not have an optical illusion.
but the bag really scampered across
the street and disappeared. An effort
was made to stop the driver but he
was going at a rapid gait and did not
hear the shouts ot several bystaiict
ers. Upon investigation, a cat was
found in the bag and it later devel
oped that the driver of the rig was
intending to take the animal out in
the country in order that he may be
rid of it. The party who found the
cat said that he is going to phone
209-R and ask if they want it
turned.

The continued rain has retarded the
haying and farmers are getting in a
hurry to begin mowing. Most of the
hay which was cut and still in the
fields when the rain commenced, is
now in a bad condition, caused by the
mold. Clover hay is needing to be I
