LOCOMOTIVE
SPLENDID
EIITEI1TAII1.
Yesterday was a gala day for lodge
862 of Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neers. The reason for it all was the
presence of First Assistant Qrand Chief
A. B. Willis of Cleveland who is making a
tour of the .coast inspection B. of L. E.
lodges.
Due to kindness of the O. R. & N. officials
practically all of the old engineers on the
La Grande division were in La Grande
and attended the banquet
The festivities opened with a secret
meeting of lodge members at two o'clock
in the afternoon after which the "Boys"
swapped stories and shook hands with
friends until seven when the
banquet proper began. Promptly
at the hour set about thirty engineer with
their ladies and a few specially invited
guests assembled at the K. of P. hall and
partook of a royal banquet After satis
fying nature's craving for' delicasies,
Toastmaster Henry Henson made him
self heard. Engineer J. W. Eagan res
ponded briefly on "The Ladies'
Cnief Dispatcher A. A. Buckley won
much applause for his wit and humor in
responding to call for a toast on "How
married man ahould behave and be happy."
"Dick", still panting from the effects of
his hurried arrival, told with much'modest
humor of his difficulties in making an ap
propriate toilet due to the fact that Mrs.
Buckley had failed to hunt his collar but
tons and other little trinkets necessary in
preparing one's self for so elaborate an
affair as the one he was attending.
Train Master J. D. Matheson gave an
entertaining toast on general railroad sub
jects, which was heartily applauded.
The address of the evening came when
the guest of honor, A. E. Wills, was called
In a very pleasing manmr he told ef the
progress the locomotive engineer had
made not only in efficiency but in morali
ty. A few years ago, he said, the engineer
wa considered a good fellow if he could
put away much fire water and spend all
the money he earned. As vears went'bv.
the demand for sober, clear-brained men
has put out of commission the earner type
of men. Now the ma'nritv of an.inaar
have homes and families and raorasant a
class of men notea for their genial dis
position and for the most part a class of
men that go to make ud the best citizens
of their respective home cities. He con
tinued by telling of the strength of the
union. He said that at present there are
fifty-four thousand members, of which
number ten thousand have been added
during the last two years. In wld Mexi
co the wages of the engineer have been
increased on an average of thirty-five per
cent in very lata years. In America the
railroad officials are meeting the demands
of the union in a business-like way. These
many concessions were made, he explained
not because ot strikes and bulldozing, but
because the brotherhood of locomotive en
gineers had at its head a set of conserva
tive, broad-minded men who do things
after easeful consideration and never do a
rash act From an insurance point of
view the lodge is the strongest of any
labor organization now existing.
It was nine o'clock when the happy
crowd of sixty arose from the banquet and
without an exception felt that it was the
most pleasing "Blowout" that the lodge
has had in many moons.
J. F. Johnson of the Spokane Cafe acted
as chef and many were the compliments
he received for his tasty spring chicken,
salads, and otherwise elaborate menu.
oesides the delicious eatibles on the
menu, Mr. S. H. Pattan of Fruitdale
had presented the lodge with several
gallons of Bings, and the way the fruit
disappeared spoke well of the appreciat
ion the guests felt for the gift.
LA GRANDE! LA GRANDE
The ei gineers of the city yesterday
morning headed by Henry Henson went
to the depot to meet passenger train No.
6. thinking they were to meet H. E. Wills,
in whose honor the big celebration yester
day was for. Their chagrin can better
be imagined than described as the train
pulled in but no first assistant master
stepped off. Thinking he might possibly
have missed the committee, a visit to all
the hotels and restaurants of the city was
made with no results.
Mr. Wills' story: Sometime during the
morning when the porter in the Pullman
thought he was near La Grande, he
picked up Mr. Wills' grips and when the
train stopped, stepped off. Wills thought
no doubt the porter knew his business and
followed his grip. The stop was only
momentarily and with a whiff the train
was gone again. It was from a bystand
er on the platform that Mr. Wills asked
for the best hotel in town, and and incid
entally learned that he was in Perry. After
muc.i anxiety and delay he found a Perry
ite who was willing to drive him to the
real La Grande, where the guest of honor
and the reception committee of the en
gineers had no trouble in finding each
other. The joke, Mr. Wills said, was on
Perry.
