DONAHOE, veteran Frisco engineer of St. Louis, wrote a s~~lenclidreader-editorial for the St. Lollis Star recently. He presented the railway man's attitude toward raih~oadcrossings under the heading: "An Engineer's Point of View." Mr. Donahoe's articles follows: Editor The St. Louis Star: An- swering article in Everybody's Col- umn with reference to dangerous rail- road crossings: The party writing this article de- scribes how easy it moultl be to en- tirely eliminate accidents at grade crossings by installing a bell that automatically rings when an approach- ing train arrives at a certain distance from crossing, and mentions the fact that this wonderfnl mechanical ar- rangenlent will prevent accidents at railroad crossings. Now, it may in foreign countries, but it will not and does not in this country. I have been running a locomotive for twenty-four years, and a numher of years ago, or before we had bells placed at dangerons crossings, I was of the same opinion as the writer, that if bells were installed, the strik- ing of automobiles at railroad cross- ing would be a thing of the past.

The agricultural development for the year in the territory served by the Frisco was "very satisfactory" and "despite unfavorable weather conditions result- ing in serious damage to fruit and veqetables, the tonnage derived from this source increased considerably over the previous year." Further Passenger Traffic Decrease A decrease in passenger traffic is reported in the statement as "due to expansion in the building of hard roads, resulting in increased use of motor-driven vehicles, principally for short distance travel". There mas, however, an increase over the previ- ous year in long-distance travel. A splendid increase mas made in freight handled. The revenue freight loaded on line and received from con- nections increased 67.000 cars and 35.8 per cent of the increase repre- sented high revenue producing coni- modities, such as automobiles, oil and iro~pipe.
