Buffalo, N, Y, GOVERNMENT "SAFETY FIRST" SPECIAL COM WEST this Soctlon Especially Favored Routing of Exhibit. In Early last spring Franklin K. Lane, secretary 'of the Interior department, conceived the idea of running tho government's "Safety First" exhibit through certain portions of tho Unit od States, but almost Immediately ho was confronted by the fact that there wero no funds available for transport ing such an exhibit Ho was about to abandon tho Idea when President Wlllard of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad camo to his rollef. Mr. Wll lard offered to supply tho equipment and haul the Installed exhibit ovcr the lines of his company, froo of charge, at the same tlmo furnishing accommodations for tbo men accom panying the exhibit Numerous other railroad officials got busy In an effort to get tho train ovor the lines of road In other sec tions of tho country. Tho Union Pa cific was one of the western lines that got into tho negotiations and succeeded In landing the prlzo, though Its efforts put forth will mean tho expenditure of a large sum of money, as ft will haul the train more 'than 3,000 miles without receiving a cent of revenue. Regardless of the expense, officials of tho Union Pacific went upon tho theory that as ah educational feature to bring beforo the public, the future benefits that the peoplo along Its lines would derive would many times re pay the expense.
