The Paul Bunyan account of how the Columbia river was made is wor thy of our mature consideration in these days of over-bigness. It says that when Paul Bunyan log ged west he came at last to where a hundred—or, maybe, a hundred and seven—quiet and peaceful rivers no bigger than creeks lazed through pleasant valleys with little pine for ests. At that stage of his career Paul Bunyan had become much like man kind is today—always unsatisfied with nature as he found it. So he set to work to turn the hundred I teeny rivers and the pleasant small i valleys into one whopper of a river and a colossus of a canyon. And that was the sad end of the many quiet and peaceful streams and their pleasant valleys and little pine forests. The one big river began to run hog wild and Paul Bunyan was fifty years taming it for log driving. Even then he had to blow out a deep gorge to keep the river within bounds The country everywhere around be came a desert. The place where the river had run wild came to be known as “Dry Falls.” And so it remained until men and machines and explosives came In to build Coulee Dam, the "biggest thing on earth.’’ Little Loggers . . . The Tillamook fire of 1833 started from a tiny spark. The atomic bomb gets its force from particles the eye cannot see. A thousand other exam ples might be given of how good little things can be made into bad big things by weak-minded man. There seems to be no chance of stopping the inflation of power in human hands than there is of reduc ing indulgence in snoose. The only hope is in the signs which indicate a retreat by some people— little loggers for example—from the ideal of bigness; a disposition to make small projects out of big jobs. A lot of good business is being done with small logging shows for clean timber cropping. Such enterprises, with those of thousands of sawmills throughout the country are the main power behind increased lumber pro duction. Evil in the Woods . . . Every forester knows the two great curses brought by men have been monster machines and fire. Horse logging in the old pineries was com monly good forestry, except where serious fire hazards were left. It was the stump blaster and land clearer who wrecked the forests of the Lake States, killing seed trees with fire and sending the fertility of the for est up in «moke. Then, in the Douglas fir the logged land were generally re-stocked be fore the 1920's. Bullteam logging went slowly through every timber tract, giving the standing timber time to reseed the cutovers, Ground lead logging was nearly as good. But too often the big machines of the high lead and skyline shows tore up the country as they faunched and snorted through the big timber. Now little machines for re-logging and pre-logging and small tractors and trucks, represent a trend back to good work in the woods. If sanity should once more descend upon the world, even the tractor might be abolished and horses brought back- even the bullteam might return. That is really too much to hope for, of course. The best we can expect is for more portable sawmills, more pony rigs and Swedish gangs in the big sawmills and for more little ma chines to log all the little stuff that used to be left as trash for the slash burners.
