David Dunbar, was ordered over to the American Colonies in 1727 by England's King George I, with the title of Surveyor General and the duty of enforcing a new law on timber cutting in Massachus etts. I Th? law harked back to October 7, 1690, forbiding the felling of trees above two feet thick on all Massachusetts land that had been granted since that date. The big trees were to be kept in re serve for his nibs, German George. The new royal regulations took in, of course, the noblest white pine forests of them all, for wooded Maine was yet a district of Massachusetts. Th-> business of the royal bull of th? woods. Dirty Dave Dunbar, (as some call ed him), was to enforce observ ance of the “broad arrow” brand on standing pines, which the colonists had been resisting for nigh on a hundred years. In no time Dirty Dave was in hotter water than any Federal Prohibition sleuth of the 1920s or OPS agent of our time ever had to endure. Th? Surveyor G neral was a past fort com- mander, and then as now an army fort was the spot to find government regulations at their worst. Probably th? land that is now the U. S. A. has never known a more bullheaded bureaucrat than Dav- Dunbar. He began to shove the colonists around and it disturbed th?m. Swamp Law . . . The colonists of the backwoods had a law of their own, and “swamp law” they called it. Gov. ernment Woods Boss Dunbar col lided with it when he sent depu ties on a slim to Exter (N. H.) to confiscate lumber that had b en cut in part from broad arrow brand pines. The agents of King George 1 and his surveyor general relaxed I in an Exter tavern, after anchor ing in the tvenlide. They were amazed, and then beguiled, by lavish hospitality. Staggering forth at last, they were attacked by a horde of “Indians”, who beat the tar out of them with green elm clubs all the way to the water. Tattered and bloody, stained with elm sap, the government men took their boats and rowed for their ship. There they found the riging and sails cut down and a hole chopped in the ship's bot tom. The agents, sober and even more scared by this time, piled into their boats again, made shore hid in the woods, then toiled afoot back to Portsmouth, look ing out sharply for mor? "Indi ans". City, County Men To Ask Questions A meeting of all city and coun ty civil defense directors in Ore. gon will be h"ld Wednesday, Oc tober 29 at the Capitol building in Salem, it was announced by Robert Sandstrom, administrative coordinator for the state civil defense agency.

B. Ortner, who recent, ly underwent an operation at St. Vincents hospital, Portland, is recovering satisfactorily. Mrs. Margaret Thoreau and two small children are here visiting at the home of hr parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Anderson. They re turned recently with her parents when they came home from a short vacation at Pebble Beach, California. Against Arrow and Stamp The story has vastly more to it than can ever be touched on this, space. Back of it was a long political and legal conflict tween representatives of the onists, led by Elisha Cook, and the authority of th? Crown in Massachusetts as represented by the former surveyor general, John Bridger, and Go v "mor Samuel Shute. The colonists’ cause was a re spectable one and the laws that developed about it were much more than the “swamp” law of the squatters. The fight against the woods was really the birth of the American private enterprise system in opposition to domi- neering bureaucracy that ruled arbitrarily by remote control. Resistance grew steadily against government regulation of for- est use, rising in the southern colonies against royal restrictions on the growing of naval stores, In time there were authorities who described enforcement of the broad arrow as a more power ful influence than that of the Stamp Act in bringing about th? American Revolution.
