In the rear of tho main room is tho
storo room 22x40 which is already filled

HOWE &
Mr. Park Speaks in New York.
Genornl Supt. Park was in Now York
last week and mnde an nddrcss beforo
tho New York and New England As
sociation of Railway Surgeons. Tho
address was reported at length in tho
Now York Commercial, and from it
this excerpt is taken: Mr. Park out
lined a well organized railway, stipulat
ing conditions which if carried out
should make tho management of tho
particular property immune from even
unbiased and just criticism from the
public or railroad exports. That tho
example ho had In mind was tho Harri
mnn system would seem to be evident
In that ho told of tho "Publicity for
accidents" inaugurated by and in use
on those lines by which accidents in
volving serious personal injuries, loss
of life or heavy property loss aro In
vestigated by boards of inquiry, which,
in addition to the railroad ofllcials, aro
composed of United States army of
ficers, state govornors, mayors along
the route, business men, farmers and
othor.promincnt citizens whoso integrity
is undisputed. Obviously then Mr.
Park feels that the Union Pacific has
adopted such methods of operation on
his lino us to make them feel perfectly
safe In having those methods care
fully scrutinized by an inquisitive nnd
criticizing public without being ac
cused of employing shoddy, unsufo of
loose management. Ho furthor stated
that "Publicity for accidents removes
from the officials the taint of alleged
mercenary suppression, nullifies yellow
journalism and enlists the assistance of
public sentiment to enforce a closer
observance of rules and laws.'1
M. I. McCarty, of Wood .River,, will
open a drug store about January ICth
in tho building to bo vacated by R. N.
Lamb. Tho room will bo remodeled
and put In good shape. Mr. McCurty
Is a Bon-jnlaw of Jerry Bowon, tho
present owner of tho building.
