WHAT is BEING DONE THERE
lao HANDS EMPLOYED.

At the present time there are in
the neighborhood of 14O men employed
in various capacities in the roundhouse
and car shops at Dilworth.
A large majority Of these are en-
ployed in the roundhouse looking after
the locomotives as they come in off
of the road, for a locomotive. just like
a horse has to be groomed, wiped and
given the best OF care.
While no cars or engines are con-
structed at Dilworth, those that have
been in wrecks or have gone bad are
taken care OF and repaired and placed
in good condition. The Northern Pa
cifc has a large machine shop at Dill
worth and some of the best machin-
lists In the country are located there.
1t would be possible, according TO one
OF the men employed at the shops, TO
completely construct a locomotive
there. but it would be hard work as
the shops were not built with that
end in view.
The railroaders who reside there
claim that in time the N. p. will have
large town on the site of Dilulsth.

MOUSE IN WOMAN'S LAP
Forty Danes and Maidens on Tiptoes
on Seats of Portland Street
Car.

Portland, Ore.-A mouse in a street
car loaded with women caused a panic
at Sixteenth and Morrison streets and
brought the gang working with picks
and shovels in the street rushing to
the rescue.
The mouse had been chased up a
tree by cat and gradually worked its
way out ON branch overhanging the
street car tracks. AS the car came
along the trolley flew off, struck the
limb on which the mouse was cling
ing, Jared it to the roof of the car,
through wentilator and onto a WON
ans lap, where 1T took a short cut
for the pocket of her coat.
Forty women screamed, grabbed
their skirts land were soon tiptoeing
On their seats. The woman in whose
pocket the mouse was hidden sat pale
and nlDtionless until lone male pas
senger seized THE mouse and threw it
out OF the window, just as the labor
ers came piling aboard to quell the
supposed riot.
Gradually the excited women sub
sided and the car resumed its way,
after having blocked traffic for ten
minutes and backed up street cars for
three blocks.
