One of my interesting memories is that of an experiment of the kind that was put to test in a northern California sugar pine camp, year of 1914. Mr. Rubberman ... The invention had to do with the most naturally mean and hateful man I ever knew a gaunt, lantern-jawed, flint-eyed pinetop who was known as Glary Jones. He had "set in" as a swamper. Within a week oth ers in his gang were ready to lynch him. Hank Pratt, the bull-buck, had heard of Glary Jones for 20 years or more,, as a giant work er whose middle name was "trouble." Soon or late, he blew up every job by making a fight with a fellow-worker. Yet he could not tolerate working alone, as at bucking. Glary simply had to have an object to vent his meanness on. But Hank Pratt wanted to keep this lone-wolf who was a natural-born hard worker. So he told Glary to stick around camp for a day or so, and maybe some thing could be done for him. Two mornings later the regu lar teams of fallers saw Bull buck Pratt lead Glary Jones into a timber strip on the far side of the logging railroad, so that it separated him from all the other workers in the woods. The grouchy logger toted a crosscut saw, a falling ax, wedges, maul, oil bottle and waterbag. The boss of the falling strips packed a 1914 inner tube, its circle cut, and a heavy steel stake. He stopped at the first sugar pine tree, took Glary's maul, drove rhe stake into the ground, then fastened one end to the stake's top and the other to a saw handle. "Now then, Glary," said Hank Pratt, "you've got a falling pod ner you are bound to get along with. Mr. Jones, meet Mr. Rub berman." t Peace in the Pines Glary Jones was like the pro verbial kid with a new toy. The idea was new to him, as it was ' to all other loggers in 1914. All day Glary sawed away with Joe ; Rubberman. When ' he pulled, the tough rubber, stretching, i held the saw blade steady, and then drew it back a whizzing . through the kerf, the sawdust flying. Glary worked like a mule all day and for two more days quiet as a lamb. And then he began to be his old self again, giving Joe Rubberman halle luiah. "You're ridin' the saw, "Rub berman!" come the hoarse roars of fury from Glary Jones, hour by hour. 'You're ridin' the saw, and it ain't fair to your pardner Next thing you'll be draggin' your feet, yah scissorbill! I've a mind to snap youh apart!" Joe Rubberman never talked back. And from pine to pine he j kept pace with Glary Jones. So ! the work went on all summer Six or eight times a day Glary would threaten Joe Rubberman with all manner of violent ends, and the louder he bawled the harder he worked his inner tube partner. At the end of the season Glary Jones had earned more busheling monej than any team of fallers in the woods. And so Bull-buck Hank Pratt looked at his work and saw that it was good. But even he had no thought that this was the first crude step toward the coming of the one-man power saw for felling big timber. May Glary Jones and Hank Pratt will be rightly remembered at the Pa cific Logging Congress in 1957, Oct. 30, in Seattle. Body of Ship Crash Victim Recovered Coos Bay HP) The body of Andrew H. Ferguson, 38, Port land, fourth victim of the colli sion here Sept. 10 of the Army Engineers' dredge William T.
