The work of a man at grins with a single body of life hundreds of times hi s own bulk ami weight logging the wilderness tree of the Pacific north- west— has always been a challenge to human eourage, fortitude and ingen- uity. The felling of the standing tree was for centuries the hardest labor on earth. In each case, as the tree fell, high hazard struck into the woodsman's labor. As the work went on, the making of the tree into movable logs and the transportation on land and water would bring up new problems It's Your Newspaper—Subscribe Now of power and safety at every turn. A hundred years ago the logger of Puget Sound and the Columbia and W illamette rivers had basically the same problems that were tackled by Ug and Ag with their stone axes ami by Solomon's tree choppers with axes of bronze in the cedars of Lebanon. P oh er in the Timber . The first logging locomotives were small- “dinkies,” in pioneer parlance —and the trucks of the steam cars were so light that only flat loads of the weighty Douglas firs were hauled. W ithin 20 years the techniques of railroad logging had brought forth a track - supported skidder which I weighed more than 300 tons and car! trucks that would wheel a pyramid ■ of logs safely to the sawmill booms, .

Railroad logging required enormous investment for every installation. It brought mechanics to the woods, its I logging engineers were the fore-run-' ners of today’s forest engineers, and I out of it came the modern system of power saws for felling trees, the tractor hauls, the logging-truck high ways, protection roads and mechan ized forestry practices.

ELSNER Hind Quarter 2C Front Quarter of the Pacific northwest were mainly too rough and rocky for log driving, but on such streams as the Priest river and the Clearwater in northern I Idaho there were annual log drives until recent years. Now at last the logging truck has triumphed over tradition in these areas as it did over ¡the logging railroads. There were famous flumes kept trees in motion by torrents of water in both the pine and fir regions , in the old days, usually shooting the i logs out from the flume's mouth and I over a cliff into the booms.
