Mutton Determined
To Improve Ability
Br RON ABELL
, Mail Tribune Staff Writer
There's a gentleman in Gold Hill who takes hii work
homecjvith him to study.
Does that sound reasonable?
It would, except that Ward Hutton is a tree faller whose
work involves Douglas firs weighing up to 15 tons and more:
He doesn't take the trees home, of course. What he takes
home is a notebook that he fills during the day with notes
and sketches of trees that didn't fall the way he thought they
would.
Onlr Part of Determination
This "homework" is only a part of his overall determina
tion to increase nis ability as a taller - an aDimy mat u
already won him the respect and admiration of his co-workers
and supervisors.
"Wafd is one of the best fallers in the country," says his
employer, Elmer Milton. Milton has been a logging contractor
in Rogue River since 1925 and is currently cutting trees in
the Butte Falls area, where. Hutton heads up a three-man
crew of fallers. v
, "Ward is constantly on the look for improvement: He has
' extraordinary control of the fall of trees to avoid breakage,"
says Howard Mitchell, forester for Timber Products company,
Medford. The company currently "is buying the trees felled
by Hutton.
"One of the jobs oi a ior-
ester is to watch out for ex
cess breakage," Mitchell con
tinued. "Many falters do just
a passable job and they waste
a lot of timber. Often they
don't take enough interest in
' their work, or they're anxious
to chop down as many trees as
they can in a day. But the
work of Ward and his crew
is excellent."
What's Ward's attitude to
wards his work?
"I love it," he says. !'I can't
learn enough, about trees."
.Takes Pride in work
" And that's the explanation
behind a man who has won
-respect at a job not noted for
respectability. He takes pride
in his work.
Ward Hutton has blue eyes
and a ready grin and he looks
a decade younger than his 43
years. As an aircraft worker
in, San Diego some 13 years
- aeo. he heard about and
yearned for the Oregon
woods. After the war he came
here and he has remained." '
"I was green when I got

said, "So I drew a cross sec

" way the tree was leaning and
where the brancnes . were.
Next time I see a simHar tree
I'll remember -this one and
make it fall where I want it
to.
t "That is, if I do my home
work tonight." he added.
Ward is married and has
three sons and a daughter. He
introduced the other . two
members of his crew, both
from Gold Hill: Bruce Wil
liams, 25, and Gene Holder
ness, 28.
Hand-Picked Men
"I hand-Dicked both these
w mvsplf" he said. "If I
could have found better work
ers. I would have done it."
j. Bruce has been with him
for five years, and Gene for
about two. They're botft mar
ried. . "Most fallers work by
i themselves," Ward said, "or
? thev sometimes use a two-man
crew. We're the only three-
man crew I've heard of.
He explained that with
three men they can apply
more efficiency to their work.
"Our main object is con
servation and saving timber,
with safety always in mind,"
he said.
Avoiding Breakage
Mitchell explained that
avoiding breakage is to the
best interests of the workers,
as well as to the contractors
and the lumber companies.
Whenever a tree breaks, the
broken parts have to be cut
away and thre is that much
timber lost.
"But it's hard to get log
gers to understand that," he
said. ' "
If a tree is allowed to fall
across a boulder or a break
in the terrain, if it hits a
"windfall" or another fallen
tree, or if it hits a tree still

standing, the chances are that
it will break. Often it will
splinter and shatter to the ex
tent that little of it is usable.
Another danger is that in
falling it might scrape against
a younger tree, tearing bark
from the younger tree and
causing it to die. That's one
of the problems Mitchell is
concerned with. His job as a
forester is to protect the in
terests of the land's owner.
The young trees on the land
have latent value which a
careless faller can destroy.
Makes Work Easier
"If all the men were like
these three my work would
be a lot easier," Mitchell said.
They can lay a tree down
almost anywhere they want
to. Their work is extraordi
nary-
As if to .prove Mitchell's
point, the three men began
work on a big Douglas fir. It
was in an awkward position
near the bottom of a ravine,
leaning slightly downhill.
"The easy way to lay this
one would be just to drop it
downhill," Ward said, as Gene
yanked on a cord to start the
five-foot chain saw.
"But see where it would
break?" he pointed. "There
and there and there. There
wouldn't be anything left of
it.
Points to 'Channel'
"And if we dropped it par
allel to the ravine we'd have
the same problem. So there's
where we're going to lay it."
He pointed uphill to a narrow
channel" between a number
of trees. ,
Was he sure he could hit
the channel?
"We put 99 out of 100 right
where we want to," he said.
"And if we miss; well, I put
it in my notebook and study
it to find out why." '
Ward and Gene used the
chain saw to take out a
wedge? shaped "undercut"
from the butt of the tree. "We
make our undercut from the
bottom," Ward said. "It's a
little "more work but it saves
timber."
They made a quick backcut
through the other side of the
tree and Bruce began driving
metal wedges into the cut.
Ward explained that the
wedges help tip the tree up
hill. Then they took a more
intricate series of cuts and
when the fir started to fall it
twisted slightly away from
the direction .in which it had
been leaning.
Inspects Tree
When the dust settled the
tree was lying straight up the
hill and not a break was vis
ible. Mitchell scampered up
the fallen tree and made a
quick inspection.
"Well, you missed your
mark by a foot and a half." he
said when he came back
down. The top of the tree
was about 200 feet distant..
Mitchell said that there
was about a 1 per cent break
age on the tree. "That means
a loss of about 40 board feet,"
he said. "The average crew,
considering the position and
lean of this tree, would have
lost at least 300 feet."
Mitchell estimated that
Ward and his crew, with the
care they take and the knowl
edge they've acquired, save
over a half-million board feet
of timber a year. "That's the
difference between them and
an average crew," Mitchell
said.
Another Difference
Another difference is that
while to many loggers their
job- is just work, to Ward it's
a special form of enjoyment.
In the logging off-season
Ward, Bruce and Gene travel
around studying the logging
techniques used by other op
erators, y
"We pick up a little information,"-
Ward said, "but
mostly I'm surprised by the
timber I see being wasted. I

West Coast Seeks
Flight to Reno
Seattle - West Coast Air
lines has asked the Civil Aer
onautics Board for permis
sion to operate a new route
between Klamath Falls and
Reno. A similar request was
recently denied the company.
West Coast also asked the
board to reconsider a denial
of the company's request to
operate a new route between
Boise and San Francisco-Oakland,
via Winnemucca, Nev.,
Reno and Sacramento.'
In connection with the
Klamath Falls-Reno proposal,

complish here and they don't
believe me."
Also during the off-season,
the three of them indulge in
work-outs which, as you
might expect, have an ele
ment of the rough-and-ready
about them. "We work out at
boxing, judo .and weight lift
ing,". Ward said. "It's partly
to keep us in shape but most
ly because we just enjoy it."
Makes Science of Work
Ward explained ' that he
tries, to make a science out of
falling trees. A tree will twist
when it is being cut and the
science comes in anticipating
and controlling the twist.
' "You have to figure the
geometry," Ward said. "It's
almost like" a game of bil
liards. We can get trees Eng
lishin' off each other and if
we have to, bring down two
and three at once. We've
brought down as many as six
at one time, each one knock
ing another down as it falls,"
They prepared two trees for
such a "double lay." One was
about 60 feet uphill from the
other. Using the chain saw,
they quickly cleared away a
stump and a small hemlock
that were in the way. Then
they undercut and back cut
the tree farther up the hill so
that it would come down
when i struck by the lower
tree. ; , . .
Ward explained that in this
situation it wasn't necessary
to take them both at once.'but
he wanted to show how it was
done. He took a plumb bob
out of his shirt pocket and
sighted the lean of the lower
tree.
"He's the only faller I've
ever seen who uses a plumb
bob," Mitchell said. "Most
fallers just take a calculated
guess at to which way a tree
is leaning."
They brought the tree down
right where they wanted to
and sure enough, it hit the
second tree and started it fall
ing. From the time they had
started to cut and the time the
double crash boomed across
the-hill, about 10 minutes had
elapsed. ' .
"We try to compute every
thing," he said.- "The lean, the
wind, the slope, the terrain,
ana we have to consider
where it will be easiest for
the tractors to drag the trees
out when they're on the
ground.
"We make mistakes some
times, but I guess it can't be
helped. The gentleman who
put the trees here in the first
place wasn't thinking about
us.- ' .
"We can only do the best
we can, and keep trying to
get better:"
And that just about sums
up the philosophy of Ward
Hutton, a tree faller with
finesse. .
ped around the necks of the three fallers
are plastic goggles. Mitchell said these three
fallers are the only ones he's known who
wear them. "Maybe we seem like sissies,"
Hutton said, "but Bruce's goggles prob
ably saved one of his eyes last week when
a piece of metal flew off a wedge and hit
him."
Seasons -T
BirdtWatcher
LATE SPRING
Summer is here. My calendars differ. One says it arrives
the 21st, one the 22nd. But the birds say it is here now. Young
birds are out of the nest. So far on the home place I have seen
one pheasant chick and .young jays, meadowlarks, robins,
white-breasted nuthatches and house finches. On a trip we
saw a half-grown quail, so I think the tiny chicks have been
keeping hidden on the home place. The last spring migrant to
arrive is usually the mghthawk. I saw the first one- this year
on May 30th, just about a normal arrival date.
In the late spring we like
see what's new up there. On
to a favorite spot over the top
look at a certain dead tree-top
years we had seen a calliope
all our birds, with a gleaming reddish or violet neckpiece.
There it was for the third year sitting in the very same tree
top darting out after insects or going down to feed on the
larkspur that blooms there. While we were watching it a
green-tailed towhee came and sang in the very same tree. We
took my wife back there the next week and saw both birds
again in ihe same tree. This is the only place where I per
sonally have seen a calliope hummingbird.
We have a custom of getting the local bird watchers to
gether and trying to see how many species we can find in
the county on Memorial Day. Since it came on Saturday this
year, I didn't think that was

Mon., or all three if they had
However, we didn t have a meeting to divide up terri
tories and some of our good observers couldn't take part, so
we didn't do as well as we might. With the benefit of. 'three
days, though, our combined list came to 95." I vow that next
year we will organize it better and break the hundred mark.
The birds re here if we can just get around to the right
places and find them.'
Bob Hubbard saw black terns and what he took to be
common terns at one of the ponds in the Camp White area.
I saw terns that looked more like Forster's at Hoover lakes.
Later we enlisted J. H. to arbitrate this dispute and he said
they were Forster's (which are actually much commoner
than the so-called "common"). However, a couple of weeks
later we went back to Hoover lakes and this time we both
agreed that what we saw were "common". So now we feel
sure that both of these graceful birds are in our area.
I put in a long day on Monday of the Memorial Day week
end from 3:30 aon. to after 9 p.m. My personal week end
list came to 81. We particularly enjoyed the trip across from
Dead Indian rd. to the Green Springs rd. past Howard Prairie
reservoir and Hiatt lake. We found the purple martins again
nesting at Hiatt lake, the only place in our county that we
know of where they do. -
-' The last bird I added to the week end list was a black
phoebe found at the Forest Creek bridge on the River rd.
along the Applegate. We had seen a black phoebe at this
spot twice earlier. Being in that area on other business again
this week I stopped once more and this time I found the nest
"glued" to the concrete underneath the bridge. I believe
there are young in it. I think both Carl Richardson and Dr.
Elmo Stevenson have seen black phoebes in this area before,
but they are not listed in the books as being found in Oregon,
so I was particularly interested in finding this nest.
Incidentally, this particular road along the Applegate
and the spot by this bridge is one of the most favorable
places in the county to observe birds." I saw green herons
there on earlier visits. This time I saw a pair of gorgeous
western tanagers, a, large assembly of doves and several
other varieties.
There are many fine places to observe birds, however.
One of the best is often your own yard and garden. They are
building houses all around-us where we live, but I seem to
be seeing more birds than ever on the home place. We record
ed 29 in a single week last week. One was a lazuli bunting
which my wife found singing in the willows. A couple of
weeks before we found a burrowing owl perched on a mail
box on the far side of our church property.
The mountains are wonderful at this season, too. I'm
anxious to get up into the high timber in the early morning
and hear the hermit thrushes sing.-TM.
