Land, ecretary of tbe Interior department, conceived tbe Idea of running the government's "Safety First" exhibit through certain portions of tbe United States, but almost immediately be was confronted by the fact that there were no funds available for transporting such an exhibit. He was about to abandon the Idea when President Wlllard of the Baltimore Ohio railroad to his relief. Mr. Wlllard offered to supply tbe equipment and haul the Installed exhibit over the lines of his company, free of charge, at the same time furnishing accommodations for the men accompanying tbe exhibit. Numerous other railroad officials got busy in an effort to get the train over the lines of road In other sections of the country.

The Union Pacific was one of the western lines that got into the negotiations and succeeded in landing the prize, though its efforts put forth will mean the expenditure of a large sum of money, as it will haul the train more than 3,000 miles without receiving a cent of revenue. Regardless of the expense, officials of the Union Pacific went upon the theory that as an educational feature to bring before the public, the-future benefits that the people along its lines would derive would many times repay the expense. In cities and towns where stops are made, the exhibits will be open to inspection, free of charge, each day from 1 o'clock in the afternoon until nine at night Moving pictures In tho evening.
