PUBLICITY SAVES LIVES ON RAILROADS
Officials Find the Wrecks Are Less Frequent and Discipline Better. ~ •
Chicago.—Publicity is credited
with having decreased accidents on
the Harriraan system of roads be
tween twenty and fifty per cent, with
in the past three years. This result
is indicated by a report made by
Julius Kruttschnitt, director of main
tenance and operation, to E. H. Har
riman, of a novel plan which has been
tried on that system of roads.
Besides decreasing accidents, pub
licity has served, it is said, to im
prove discipline and increase efficiency
and also has protected the roads
against newspaper misrepresentations
and unfair hostility on the part of
communities. When the plan of giv
ing the fullest publicity to wrecks
was first broached by Mr. Krutt
schnitt, it was coldly received on all
sides. Finally he succeeded in get
ting it tried on the Union Pacific, and
now all the Harriman lines follow it.
The new method depends for its
success largely upon speedily finding
out the cause of the accident, placing
the blame where it belongs and let
ting the public know all the news
papers care to tell about it. This
method is so different from the one
usually employed by railroads that it
caused a great deal of comment, but
Mr. Kruttschnitt is a firm believer in
the efficacy of public sentiment when
based upon a right understanding of
facts.
When an accident occurs on any of
the Harriman roads the superin
tendent, master mechanic and engi
neer of the division go at once to the
scene and organize a board of inquiry,
composed of themselves and one or
more leading citizens of the commun
ity. If this beard fails to ascertain
tbe cause of the accident, a second
board is formed of the general super
intendent, general superintendent of
motive power, engineer of main
tenance of way and one or more citi
zens of the community. Should .this
board in turn fail, a third board is
termed with the general manager at
* head. In only one instance has

the general manager thus been called
upon to act.
The board of inquiry does its work
quickly and not infrequently a news
paper representative is a member.
The newspapers are furnished with
a correct bulletin of the facts. This
practice has greatly diminished the
newspaper appetite for wreck data,
unless the accident is in reality a big
story.
The effect upon the discipline has
been marked, for every man in the
operating department knows that if
he is derelict in his duty his home
community will know of it, and he
will be discredited among his friends.
Men can stand being hauled onto the
“carpet” in the general manager’s
office, but they cannot stand the light
of local publicity.

to give an accurate basis for comput
ing how long our timber supply will
last.
The consensus of opinion is that
the present annual consumption of
wood is about 100,000,000,000 board
feet, or something more than that.
One leading authority has placed it
as high as 150,000,000,000 board
feet. Assuming a stumpage of
1.400,000,000,000 feet, an annual
use of 100,000,000,000 feet and neg
lecting growth in the calculation the
exhaustion of our timber supply is
indicated in fourteen years, and as
suming the same use and stand, with
an annual growth of 40,000,000,000
feet, a supply for twenty-three years
is indicated. Letters to county clerks
asking for statements of forest areas
in their counties have been forward
ed. Seven thousand lumbermen and
timber land owners have been asked
to simply similar information. In
all, nearly 15 0,000 letters have been
sent. These letters also ask for a
wide variety of information, includ
ing not only the lumbering and mill
ing industries, but all others, even
indirectly dependent upon the use of
wood.
Whole Village Frozen to
Death in Siberia.
Seattle, Wash. —Frozen stiff and
having Evidently been dead for a long
time, all the inhabitants of a village
of Siberian Esquimaus were found
on the Siberian coast by a party of
Indians who went in a canoe* last
June to see their comrades. Their
provisions exhausted, the Esquimaus
had eaten the walrus skin covers
from their houses and the clothing
that covered them. This tale is told
by the Rev. Edward O. Campbell, a
Presbyterian missionary.
A SUDDEN GOLD.
Miss Helen Sauorbier, of 815 Main St., St.
Joseph, Mich., writes an interesting letter
on the subjoct of catching cold, which
cannot fail to bo of value to all women who
catch cold easily.
PERUNA ADVISED FOR
SUDDEN GOLDS.
It Should Be Taken According to Di
rections on the Bottle, at the
First Appearance of the Cold.
St. Joseph, Mich.. Sept., 1901.—Last
winter 1 caught a sudden cold which de
veloped into an unpleasant catarrh
of the head and throat, depriving me of my
appetite and usual good spirits. A friend
who had been cured by Peruna advised me
to try it and I sent for a bottle at once,
and I am glad to say that in three days
the phlegm had loosened, and I felt better,
my appetite returned and Avithin nine days
1 was in my usual good health.
—Miss Helen Sauerbier.
Peruna is an old and well tried remedy
for colds. No woman should be with
out it. *
iSome folks are so sensitive about
their age that they strenuously deny
there being any gray matter in their
heads.
WAS DELIRIOUS WITH ECZEMA.
Pain, Heat and Tingling Were Excru

“An eruption broke out on my daugh

pronounced it to be eczema of a very bad
form. He treated her. but the disease
spread to her back, and then the whole of
her head was affected, and all her hair had
to be cut off. The pain she suffered was
excruciating, and with that and the heat
and tingling her life was almost unbeara
ble. Occasionally she was delirious and
she did not have a proper hour’s sleep for
many nights. The second doctor we tried
afforded her just as little relief as the first.
Then I purchased Cuticura Soap, Oint

was three-quarters finished of

Getting Back.
A company promoter who advertis

plies. Out of the hundred he selected
ten, who were asked to call at the of
fice for an interview. His final choice
fell upon a bright looking young chap.
“My boy,” said the promoter, “I like
your appearance and your manner
very much. I think you will do for
the place. Did you bring a char
acter?”
“No, sir,” replied the boy, “but 1
can go home and get it.”
“Very well; come back tomorrow
morning with it, and if it is satis

you.”
Late that same afternoon the finan

“No,” answered the hoy, “but Ive
got yours, and I ain’t cornin’.” —
