6?CU& STEVENS ME:
were ever trying to rig up
schemes to take the misery out
of the timber faller's trade. 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.
