The executive committee reported a consider able increase in the membership of the association and that the total length of road now controlled by its members was 142,000 miles. The committee on rules reported-a number of changes. These were discussed, but finally referred to the committee for further consideration. The reports of the committee on safety appliances, and of the committee on car service were mostly statistical and were not accepted. The joint committee on interlocking twitches and block signals presented a report which was taken up and debated.

SPARKS FROM THE RAILS. A LUCKY ESCAPE. Early last evening,passenger train No. 4 ran into a sand drift, a few miles east of Yuma, Colorado, and every wheel left the track but the hind trucks of the rear sleeper. The head end of the train was scattered over the right of way in a pro miscuous manner, but almost miraculous to relate none of the train men or pas sengers were killed or seriously injured. Engineer Pat Timlin and Fireman Bert Godwin were slightly injured. The wrecker and crew from here were quick ly on the scene of the accident, and the work of clearing the track commenced. Extra cars were taken up from here and the train arrived at this station about 2 o’clock this morning. The work of getting the engine and other cars on the track will be prosecuted at once. It was a fortunate escape. Mrs. Brace and sister made a visit to Denver, this week. The St. Louis union depot is by far the largest in the world. Chief Dispatcher J. F.

I REDUCTIONS THAT 'VWVVWN/V,/ It is a practice, unfortunately too fre quent, for dealers to make fictitious and fanciful prices on goods as a basis for reduc tion and a text for advertising Positive Evidence confronts us in which the net re sult of vaunted and much advertised bar gains is simply a scale of prices the same as ourselves and other dealers charge regular.
