MONSTER MACHINE
FOR LOGGING
SPECIALLY CONSTRUCTED EN-
CINE GOES TO BLACK ROCK.
Large and Powerful Donkey Engine
Being Installed by Dallas Lumber
and Logging Company.

The Dallas Lumber & Logging COM
pany is this week installing new
donkey engine at their Black Rock
camp, that is the largest and most
powerful of its type ever constructed,
so the manufacturers claim. The ma
chine passed through Dallas Sunday
on the way to camp, and after it is
erected, the designer and builder,
Harry Turner, of Portland, will be
on hand to witness the work of his
powerful motor. The engine is of the
twin-cylinder type, the cylinders be-
ing 11x13 inches in size. The boiler
is monstrous affair, being 70 inches
in diameter and carrying 200 pounds
of steam pressure. The engine is of
the monkey motion" style and was
manufactured by the Smith & Wat
son company, at Portland.
The main drum carries 1900 feet of
one and one-fourth inch steel cable,
and the trip drum holds 5000 feet Of
three-fourths inch cable. Tommy
MdSSIS VI bulS ClIyJ WIN 10 CHlcl cu-
gineer in charge of the machine, said
on Sunday, while down from the camp
for short time to look after bust
ness matters, that it was thought the
new engine would reach Black Rock
Monday, and that it might be in OPP
Grafton before the week was ended.
It is estimated that the machine will
cost, when fully equipped for opera
lion, something like $4,000.
The camp where the new machine
is to be erected is known as the Bald
cree camp, Mr.. Balderee being the
foreman His place is to be filed by
John Litchell.
The same company also bought at
the same time a new engine Of the
same type, to be used for the pulling
of the large carriage at the Dallas
mill, and this will be placed in posi-
ton within a short time.

by some, the new member would be
