 The unknown man was identified last night as Archibald MacCallum, a photographer, but relatives who view ed the body this morning say the iden- tification was mistake. The mans features are almost uArecognizable.
 Of the injured, only one is likely to die. John Loney has fractured akull and there is little hope of his recovery.
 A rigid investigation has been be- gun by the city officials. w., J. Reid X company, who occupied most of the space in Crystal hall, were about to vaeate the building. which was being transformed into restaurant and bowling alleys. Some of the inter'.r walls were being removed and the floor above placed on a steel super structure.
 Many persons were rescued from the cellars of the stores during the early hours of the morning practically un- injured. A woman with baby in her arms was located last night.

LARGE MACHINE SHOPS
Dallas & Falls City Railroad Has
Most Extensive Plant Outside
Of Portland.

The largest and most completely
equipped machine shop in Oregon,
outside of Portland, is located in
Dallas. The plant is the new machine
and repair shops OF the Dallas & Falls
City Railroad Company. on the COM
pany's terminal grounds in South
Dallas. The buildings are all nearing
completion, aud a force OF laachinists
underline direction Of Master Mechanic
Carl Gerlinger are installing the
heavy and expensive machinery.
The main buildings are three in
number. The largest structure Of the
group is the general machine shop
This building is 20 by rs feet in size,
two stories in height, and we'll lighted
by windows and skylights The car
repair shop is next in size. and is also
a strong and well-lighted building.
The roundhouse is built on modern
plans, and has stalls for three loco
motives.
Among the features of interest in
the main shop will be noted A drop
pit, constructed entirely Of concrete,
by the use OF which the wheels of a
locomotive may be removed without
raising the machinery. If it Is de-
sired to raise the locomotive for any
purpose, the work Is easily accomp-
lished by a hydraulic lift. Other
modern machinery in the shop con-
sists Of S0x30 metal planer, a mon
ster machine costing $25OO; a S6-inch
lathe, and a smaller lathe for brass
work; wheel press OF the very latest
pattern 4-foot radial drill, so con-
structed as to drill in any direction OF
at any angle; bolt cutter, which will
manufacture bolts of any size at a
high rate Of speed; a metal saw; a
15O- pound hammer, and portable
crane. Power is furnished by a 90
horsepower electric motor, driven by
the current from the Willamette Val.
ley Company's dynamos.
The car repair shop is 80 by l4O feel
In size and contains all Of the wood
working tools needed In building OF
repairing cars. The blacksmith shop
is directly connected with the machine
shop and is also modern in its equip
ment.
These shops would be credltable tc
any of the larger railroads Of the
country, and their building and equip,
ment is in line with the substantial
and permanent character Of all con.
struction work heretofore done by the
Dallas and Falls City company. The
shop will give steady employment to {
large number Of men, and will add {
neat sum each month to Dallas
already large payroll.
