MADE GOOD RECORD
IN SAFETY FIRST DRIVE
Burlington IUnks High in Nation
wide Competition to Iteduce
Railroad . Accidents
The two-weeks accident preven
tion drive, in which all the railroads
In the United States entered Into a
competition, ended October 31, and
while complete figures are not avail
able, indications are that the Burl
ington system made an excellent rec
ord. It is estimated that it will take
several days before the final returns
can be tabulated, but late reports
during the closing days of the drive
'were most encouraging to the hopes
of Burlington men and officials.
The record made by the Burling
ton system shows a reduction of '83
per cent in accidents over the same
two-week period of the preceding
year. Seven divisions reported no
accidents during the two weeks. La
Crosse, Burlington, Ottumwa, Cen
tervllle, Wymore and Sterling.
The Alliance division is one of five
which reported one accident. The
other four are the Aurora, Hannibal
and Creston divisions and the Kansas
City terminal.
The Galesburg, Beardstown, St.
Joe, Omaha, Sheridan and Casper dl
Tislons reported two accidents. The
McCook division sanks next with
three, and the worst record was made
by the Brookfleld division, which re
ported one killed and three Injured.
The totals for the two weeks of
the drive were one killed and twenty-
five injured. During the same period
last year, there were two killed and
148 Injured. This means that there
was a total reduction on the Burl
ington system alone amounting to 83
per cent.
This is a remarkable showing, and
every man on the system can find
cause for congratulation in the rec
ord made. Following are the com
plete figures for the drive:

prevention drive:

llOWLES L1VTC STOCK RETORT
The Bowles Live Stock Commis
sion company of South Omaha, in
their latest advices regarding the
live stock situation, have this to say:
"Cattle receipts this week at all
markets are very liberal, consisting
mostly of every kind except good to
choice kinds. As i.sual during this
range 'clean-up' week, the trade Is
more or less choppy ana the range
In prices wider and more unsatis
factory.
"Prices for the general run of
stockers, feeders, butchers' stock and
common to fair beef cattle show a
decline of 25 to 50c, while the good
to choice yearlings, feeders and fat
stock are selling at strong prices.
"We expect liberal runs for two or
three weeks and not much change
in prices, but we have confidence in
a better market for stock cattle, In
cluding good quality 'she' stock, next
spring and believe it will pay to hold
cattle over whenever you have plenty
of feed and protection against
storms.
"Ship out anything that must
come, whenever you can get cars,
and we will do our part to give you
the best service and results possible.
"The hog market Is on the down
grade again and prices will probably
settle down around a $13.00 basis
during the winter.
"Sheep and lambs are selling well
and should do better after the holi
days. ' ,
"The world must be fed and we
must do most of it for two or three
years at least and with labor well
employed and getting good pay, we
don't look for very low prices for
some time."
The Bowles company will be glad
to hear from any of our readers
whenever they think they can help
them in any way.
