Show TIIE OGDEN POST Union Pacific Wins 1,000,000 Bushels E. II. Harriman Medal Storage Capacity the OMAHA, Neb., July 2ft--For third time in four yean the E. II. Harriman Memorial sold medal for the most conspicuous organized safety and accident prevention work" on American railroads has been won by the Union Pacific, according to information received here today from Arthur Williams, president of the American museum of safety, in New York. The award is made annually by the museum, and the one just announced is for 1927. For the years 1921 and 1925 the corresponding awards were to the Union Pacific System as a whole. This year individual railroad com . - panics rather than entire systems were the competitors and the award was to the Union Pacific railroad, the portion of the Union Pacific System from Ogden, Utah, cast. In discussing the award in New York today Mr. Williams said: The Union Pacific has always enjoyed a noteworthy record for safety and accident prevention performances. Over this lines previous excellent record its 1927 performance shows a marked reduction in fatalities. Comparing 1927 with 1920 passenger fatalities were reduced from one to none; fatalities to employes from 13 to 6, and fatalities to all other persons including those at highway crossings from 31 to 22. The total reduction in fatalities was from 45 in 1926 to 28 in 1927, or 37.8 per cent. Non-fat- al injuries were reduced from 276 in 1926 to 288 in 1927, both records being extremely low. The award just announced for the Union Pacific railroad is the fifth award which that system or its constituent companies have received dur Ing the present year for leadership in safety work. The first four prizes of the National Safety Council for the lowest accident rates among employes pn all American railroads during 1927, and the two to four preceding years, were ' awarded respectively to the Union Pacific System, and to the Union Pacific railroad, the Oregon Short Line railroad, and tho Los Angeles & Salt Lake railroad, constituents of that system. Each of the roads named was first among the railroads of the United The States in its group. Railroad & Navigation company, the fourth unit of the system, was second in the group with the Oregon Short Line. St , ' f .

Rone Dry Advocate Reverses Opinion A complete reversal of opinion on the prohibition question was expressed by Joseph Chez, bone dry member of the Utah state senate which passed the Utah dry law in 1917, in a letter to John J. Kaskob, Democratic national chairman in reply to a letter of inquiry sent from Democratic headquarters. The letter of Mr. Chez says in part: Your letter of the sixteenth sets forth the pertinent question now before the American people, namely, the liquor problem and its solution. Personally, I was a strong advocate of prohibition, in fact, I was a mem' her of the Utah state senate in 1917 and took a leading part in framing and adopting our state prohibition law, but after ten years of experience with it and the eighteenth amendment, I must admit that my views and convictions have undergone a decided change. While I am a dry, and would never sanction the return of the open saloon, 1 agree that it behooves us to try ana secure such a modification of the laws as will restore respect for ourselves, our laws and our great constitution. Mr, Chex was first elected to the state senate in 1914 on a bone dry platform. As a member of the legislature in 1917 he was one of the few men who energetically championed house bill No. 1, which made the sale and possession of liquor in Utah Utah Oil Refining: Co.

They are distributed free of charge at service stations selling products manufactured by the Utah Oil Refining company. A total of 100,000 copies has been printed. The reverse side of the map contains a lubrication chart which serves as a guide to motorists, instructing them concerning tho proper grades of oil to use at various seasons of tho year. Officials of the company declare that tho success of the plan is indicated by the fact .that thousands of inquiries are received each week. The chief purpose of free map distribution is to increase tourist travel and encourage people to visit the territory and the national parks, according to A. A.

Ogden and vicinity should be one of tho largest hog producing sections in the country, according to W. E. Car-rol-l, professor of swine husbandry at Urbana, III., in a recent meeting with Jesse S, Richards, secretary of the chamber of commerce. Mr. Carroll, who was formerly head of the animal husbandry department of the Utah Agricultural college, pointed out that many eastern and middle-wehoga pass through Og den regularly on their way to Pacific coast markets, and also deplored the fact that hogs are shipped into Utah for slaughter. The absence of parasite infections that cause heavy losses in the east should be an added inducement for hog production here. Mr. Carroll said in conclusion that farmers in this part of the county paid too little attention to markets and the getting of their hogs to market renters. Mr. Carroll is a native of Utah. He was born at Orderville. and received the greater part of his education at the A. C. U.
