TO DOUBLE THE WORK.
Machine Works Will Start With
an Increased force.


In an'interview with representative
of THE TIMES yesterday R. A. Soule,
superintendent OF tho Machine Works,
said: beginning on next Monday we
viii! start the shops at double the work
now going on. During the months OF
August and September we have been
running as closely as possible. only
doing work amounting to $4,000 per
month that is charged to the operating
expense of the railroad. There will
now be work done chargeable to this
expense Of $50, coo per month.
we Will probably only work about
eight hours per day, as our ain will be
to give employment to all we can, and I
think there will be enough work to give
employment to all or nearly all of the
old employees now in town.
beside the increased work charged
to operating expenses, there have been
orders placed with us for six shifting
engines and twelve consolidation en-
gines, upon which work will be com
menced at once and they will be turned
out at the rate OF about three per
month, which is the normal capacity OF
the Machine Works.
I'VE think we ses brighter outlook,
and the probability is that the number
of men EN- ployed and amount paid out
Will be gradually increased. AS it will
be now there will be employment only
for former employees now in the city.
1t is our intention to gradually work up
to our normal condition, when we will
employ about loon hands,"
To MEET the unusual condition of
money matters the Hobbie Music Com
pany will offer special inducements to
reliable parties on pianos and organs
Therefore do no hesitate but call at
once and examine their large stock, at
36 Salem avenue.

that free deliberation in the Senate

The discussion, in tho opinion OF
