The Sad Start . . .
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.
