Locomotive Works to Repair
Hundred Engines For
S, P. &-S. Road
DALLAS, Or.. Dec. 9. (Spe
cial to The Statesman.) The Dai
las Machine & Locomotive works
in this city this week received a
contract from the S. P. & S. Rail
way company for the rebuilding
of at least 10 large locomotives
of what is known as the "Atlan
tic" type, weighing approximately
100 tons each.
The first locomotives will ar
rive in Dallas some time this
week and work will begin on them
immediately. The plant will ac
commodate but two locomotives
at a time, and then parts of the
machines will extend beyond the
building. It is estimated by Carl
Gerlinger, president and manager
of the local company, thai at
least six weeks will be required
to make the repairs and changes
on the engines.
The securing of the contract
by the Dallas shop will mean that
a much larger force of men will
be required to get out the work.
and it Is expected that after the
work has been started, to put on
both day and night shifts.
Since the Dallas Locomotive
works was started about three
years ago, the greater part of
its work has been repairs on loco
motives belonging to logging com
panies, and it was this experience
that made it possible for the plant
to Fecure and handle this big job.
In addition to the work on the
locomotives the company will con
tinue to build the Geriinger lum
ber carrier which has been mak
ing such a hit with lumbermen
all over the northwest during the
past year.

There are 300 sfcrlners m and
around Salem, and about 175 of
them are members oi the Ara
bian Knights club, a social order
that mains a specialty of good
times and good fellowship.
The club has been In existence
tor the last seven years. It is
now starting out on an intensive
campaign to bring all Shriners
into its folds for the good It
v. ill do them. In 300 Shriners
there is about seven times as
much fine friendship and breezy
Jollity, as there is in an un
abridged dictionary, counting
every derivative word and every
linguistic phrase that the phil
ologists and grammarians ever
coined.
They are the original Whistl
ing Rufus and Smiling Sambo
and Tickleti-to-Meet-You tobasco
sauces wherever they go.
The club held an election Fri
day night, choosing tor its of
ficers tor the coming year Wil
liam Bell, president; Fred 8.
Lamport, vice president; Carl T.
Pope, secretary and treasurer:
William McGilchrist, Fred S.
Lamport and William Bell, ex
ecutive committee. Zadoc Riggs.
jand Claire Vlbbert are the re
tiring president and secretary.
iThe new officers will take their
places at the first meeting in
January.
The local club is a tranch, or
Al Kader temple, Shriners, of
Portland, and only Shriners are
eligible to membership. Meet
ings are to be held once a month,
at unstated intervals, the Ma
sonic hall being so much in de
mand that they have practically
to steal their nights when nobody
else is looking. They plan to
have a rather pretentious series
of parties, informal dances and
other entertainments this winter.
