THE PACIFIC COAST TOUR
Grandest Railroad Journey in the World
There are more than one hundred different ways to go or to
come, but the all-year way to California, the way in one direction at
least, is through the Denver gateway, with Scenic Colorado and
Salt Lake along the way.
If you desire a more southerly route in winter, go via Denver
and the Santa Fe—Grand Canyon Route, through New Mexico—
the way of sunshine. If this is not far enough south,; go through
Kansas City qnd Texas, returning through Salt Lake and Scenic
Colorado. But to realize the maximum possibilities as to scenery,
cities, agricultural landscape and “travel education” of this com
prehensive tour, you should include the Shasta Route and the Pacfic
Northwest—the Portland, Puget Sound and Spokane regions.
In “Seeing Amercla First” you see its mighty and magnifloent half on a
Pacific Coast tour. You should not only “See America Flrt” but you should
see all of it vou oan from a Burlington train.

the city and the city spent several
hundred dollars putting in crossings
and otherwise improving the streets
Now many of the residents are,
thoughtlessly perhaps, doing things
that will result in most of this money
going to waste next spring, and that
is the practice of dumping ashes and
garbage in the gutters along the
streets. If these gutters are not open
next spring when the thaw comes the
water will clog up behind the ash
piles and then cut across the streets
and the beautiful streets we now
have will be a thing of the past. So
citizens should be careful and not
di mp ashes in the gutters along the
streets. Pile them behind your pro
perty and in the spring you can have
a man haul them away for a few
cerits and they can be placed where
they will do some good.
Addison F. Carpenter has brought
suit in the district court in this
county to collect $42,400 from the
Chicago and Northwestern railroad
company for injuries alleged to have
been received while in the employ of
said company at Long Pine February
2,1911. Plaintiff alleges that he was
In their employ on the above date at
Long Pine, his duties being to assist
In loading and unloading freight.
That while performing his dnties on
the morning of February 2, 1911, he
received the injuries hereafter com
plained of. Part of his duties was to
seal cars after they had been loaded
. and on the morning in question he
went to a car to 3eal same. That the
car was on the north side of the depot
and a little west of the station.
That the platform around said depot
was not large enough and said car
door was west of the platform, but
this plaintiff did not know at the time.
That it was very dark on the north
side of said depot and said platform
was four feet above the ground, end
ing abruptly with four old steps lead
ing down the west side thereof. That
when he went to seal said car he
walked off the end of the platform,
catching his foot in an old broken
step and fell to the ground. That in
said fall the bones in the left ankle
and foot was broken in three places
and his left leg was crushed, bruised
and injured. That by reason of said
injuries he has never been able to
walk without the aid of crutches, nor
never will. That after his injuries
be was treated bv the local physician
of the company who treated his foot
for a sprain. When the injured foot
did not improve the company sent
him to their physician at Sioux City,
who took an X ray picture of the in
jury and found that there were broken
bones in the foot, and he refused to
do anything for the injury. The com
pany \hen sent him to their general
surgeon at Omaha who cut iuto nis
foot in three places and drew there
from pus and matter that had accu
mulated therein. This was in Janu
ary, 1912, nearly a year after the injury.
That on February 2,the same surgeon,
cut into plaintiffs foot and ankle in
many places and removed thereon
rotten, diseased bone and flesh and
scraped the bone therof. That by
reason of said operations the plaintiff
suffered great pain and anguish and
was compelled to remain in a hospital
in Omaha for two months. That in
December,1912, the plaintiffs left foot
and ankle were in such bad condition
that same had to be amputated at the
knee. For the injuries received,
agony'suffered and loss of time plain
tiff asks asks for a judgment of,$42,400
and cost of suit A, suit was started
in this case several months ago and
was removed to the federal court at
Norfolk on request of the defendant
in-November last.
