The immensity of operations
carried on by the Simpson Log-
ging Company in Mason county
could well remam a mysterious
force that, to the benefit of Shel-
tertians, turns many wheels of
operation in tim area. but a tour
of the company Tnaehine shop and
roundhouse in downtown Shelton
mirrors, for even a novice, the tre-
mendous activities of the industry.
To outsiders, the only evidence
of such output in the shop is
the familiar clanging of the en-
gines coming and going from the
roundhouse, the blast of the ma-
chinery and the flaring lights of
the welder's torch. Behind the
Man Killed
By Tractor
His back broken and his body
badly mangled by the cleats of his
tractor, Daniel Raymie Wood, Jr.,
34, died Monday evening on the
way to Shelton Hospital from in-
juries suffered at his Kennedy
Creek property in an accident the
cause of which may never be
learned, according to Deputy Sher-
iff Russell Gunter, who inves-
tigated.
According to Deputy Gunter,
WOod had been clearing a road to
remove some alder from his place
and doing it with a tractor he had
rigged up himself to do the work.
It will probably never be known
just what did happen, but the
tractor had been put in reverse
and had gone about 75 feet from
a stump that was close to a yel-
low jacket's nest. It is not known
whether he was stung and got off
the machine to get away from
them, of if ha fell off. About sev-
en o'clock ill the evening his fam-
ily heard the motor of the trac-
tor and wondering why he did
not appear for dinner, went to
investigate and found him pinned
under the wheel of the tractor,
where he apparently had been held
for four hours at least. He was
still alive and conscious when he
was found.
He was born December 9, 1912,
in Zurich, Kas.
Funeral servizes will be held
Friday, August 29, at 3 o'clock
from Stokes Funeral Home in ReD-
• ton, Wlth R'eVerehtY 3": O: Bovee in

He is survived by his widow,
Pauline; two sons, Daniel Raymie
Wood III, four years of age, and
David Julian Wood, two years f
age; a step-daughter, Diane Rena

oDd, 17 months; his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Daniel R. Wood, Sr., of
Shelton; two sisters, Mrs. Ruth
Anna Mainwaring of Seattle and
Mrs. Irene Lucille Mainwaring of
Shelton.
He graduated from the RenteD
schools and had lived at his place
on Kennedy Creek for two years.
Frank Chester
Dies Suddenly;
Buried Tuesday
Funeral services for Frank
Charles Chester, 76, an early res-
ident of Mason county, were held
Tuesday, August 27 from Witsiers
Funeral Home in Shelton, with
Rev. H. W. Harshman in charge.
Burial was in the Shelton Memor-
ial Park, in the family plot be-
side his motier who died llere
in 1927.
His death occurred Saturday
morning, a few hours after he re-
turned from a visit to Aberdeen.
He was born in Sank Center,
Minn., in 1870, and is survived by
his widow. Mrs. Helen Chester,
formerly Helen Fisk, one son, Ed-
ward Chester in California; two
daughter, Mrs. Jennie Goodro and
Mrs. Hazel Tillman, both of Ta-
coma; one stepson, Charles Frank
Chester, of Shelton; and one
granddaughter, Mrs. Goidie Ben-
dix, of Port Orchard.
Deceased came to Mason county
with his mother, Fannie Chester,
back in 1890, when they settled
on a bomestead near Mason Lake,
on which they lived until 1911.
He early became interested in na-
tive oysters, and owned extensive
beds in the bay during the better
years of the local industry, doing
some farming on the side. He of-
ten rccled the winter of 1893
when they were snowcd in for
several weeks, and the winter of
1915-16 when the oysters were
frozen out, but the oysters soon
came back and in a year or two
the reserve beds furnished seed
to restocl¢ all the prig/ate growers
of the county.

activity, under the experienced
eye of Shop Foreman H. M. Rob-
ertson
Robertson, who has been with
the machine hop since Septem-
ber, 1922, started here as a car
repairman, later being promoted
to the electrical and gas engine
maintenance shop. Before attain-
ing his present position, he ran
the "cat" shop. For the past five
years he has had the worries and
responsibility of general supervis-
or of the whole shop.
Welders Work Wonders
The first stop of a visitor tour-
ing the shop is the boiler maker's
section where one may see (len
Edgley,,who succeeded his father
in the position, operating the
achtylene torch in a manner to
awe the on-looker. His assistant
is Andy Scott.
From there the spectator must
don a welder's mask to watch the
work that goes on beneath the
flaming welder's torch handled by
Charlte Dennis, head welder, who
is taking the place of Earl Fort-
hum, at present on sick leave.
The next pause for the visitor
is before a tremendous lectrie air
hammer in the blacksmith's shop.
The powerful hammer is capable
of a 3,000 pound pressure. This
hammer, along with the other
equipment in the section, enables
the blacksmith, Percy Latham, to
bend and form the huge irons used
on the locomotives, the cars and
"cats" used by the company. La-
tham. a veteran Simpson em-
ployee, has been with the firm for
33 years.
They Shape Big Timhers
Directly across the walk from
the main building is the carpenter
shop where mammoth timbers are
fabricated for the many logging
cars that are rebuilt in the shop.
Joe Anderson, one of Simpson's
oldest employees. ]s in charge of
this division. Within easy access
to the carpenter's shop is the car
repair shop. The cars are first
fabricated in the carpenter's sec-
tion and then rolled out over the
tracks into the car repair division,
where repairmen Shiring Thomp-
son and "Arnie" Aronson complete
the process with the up-to-date
equipment and tools furnished

A walk to the far end ( the
shop takes the visitor to the "cat"
repair stock room, where, accord-
ing to Foreman Robea'tson, a om
plete stock valued at $50,000 was
carried throughout the war. At
present, the stock is down some-
what compared to the wartime
record, but the shelves are stack-
ed higi with the vital parts that
keep the "cats" going.
Out of the stock room one may
see a crew of Inert repairing a
"(:at" under the supervision of Ira
Castile, head of that shop.. Under
Castile are four other men, am-
ong them Pat Coldwell, former
head "cat" man before he went
into the service.

The main work in the shop is
centered around the giant loco-
motive in the building. The en-
gine towers high above all else
and is naturally the center of in-
terest to the worker and visitor
alike. It is here that the locomq-

the woods, are repaired and kept

21½-Inch Cutthroat
Displayed Wednesday
One of the prettiest fish The
Journal staff has laid eyes on m
many a moon was displayed here
yesterday by Joe Tindall, who ex-
hibited a 21 Vo-inch cutthroat
which weighed over three pounds.
He declined to identify the spot
which gave up the beautiful fish
but said he took it on eggs while
casting from shore at a spot
"very close to Shelton" with a
five-foot casting pole. The fish
gave him a mall-hour struggle
which was complicated by the
fact Joe had left his net in his
car so he had to play it out until
he could beach it.
Throughout our nation's history there have
been .occasions when skeptics said 'It Couldn'f Be
Done" .... but American Labor went ahead and
did it! Sometimes the job was one of peacetime
production, ometimes of war production. Ahvays
there lave been obstacles to overcome. Yet Labor
never fails to forge ahead in that same spirit of
progress so characteristic of our nation's growing
strength, so this Labor Day of 1946 (next Monday)

Horse Thieves
Active; Lauber
Mare Foils Them
The ancient and fully dishonor-
able art of horse-stealing appears
to be malting a modern-day come-
back in Southwest Washington,
judging from several reported
horse thefts in the Elma-Olympia-
Shelton area the past few weeks.
Latest of the reports had a hap-
py ending, however, when a beau-
tiful chestnut pinto mare owned
by the Emil Lauber family of
Walker Park was recovered early
this week after being stolen early
last week.
The horse was seen wandeing
in the Lot Lake district by people
who recognized her With a short
piece of broken and frayed rope
hanging from a halter, indicating
she had pulled loose from a hitch.
Scars on her head indicated the
thieves had beaten her severely.
By piecing together various bits
of infomation, evidently the lmrse
wandered out of its pasture near
Walker Park when berry pickers
left the gate open and was picked
up by the thieves somewhere in
the neighborhood and placed in a
nondescript, short-bodied truck. A
good description of the truck has
been obtained fl'om numerous peo-
ple who saw it bearing .the horse
both along the Arcadia Road and
in the Imst Lake district.
A detective employed by the
National Cattle Association, which
maintains a special department to
run down] rustlers, is worldng oh
the Lauber horse theft ease.

DIDN'T LIKE SCHOOL SO AGATE
YOUNGSTERS WRECK' BUILDING
There is more than one way of
trying to get out of going Lo
school, but two small Agate boys,
1,0 and 12 years of age, have lean-
ed to their sorrow that their par-
tieular way did not work.
The boys completely wrecked
the Agate schoolhouse last Tues-
day and thought they were having
"fun '. They broke windows, re-
duced the school desks to kiDding
wood, tore sinks and wash basins
, from,the walls, threw an oil stove
and benches in Lhe well. but for
so,me reason or other, left the pi,
sue intact. Cltalk was ground in-
to the floor and door pazmls brok-
en out. They used a double-bitted
ax that wan almo. as big as they
were.
Judge J. M. Wilsc talked to
them and after relea3Lug them in
custody to their parents suspended
their sentences. The boys now
have to clean up the mess they left
and their parents will pay th0
damages.
C. H. Kreienbaum, president of
tie Simpson Logging Company
and a pioneer ShelleD resident and

Garbagemen Just
Bit Too Zealous
On This Pick-up
Woe is Jack Catto, ShelleD pio-
neer and hardware merchant, all
due to the unprecedented zeal and
enterprise of some city garbage
collectors.
Jack owns a hideaway place on
Hood Canal, a haven timt he en-
joys away from the hurry and
bustle of business and the ner-
vouness of crowded Slelton. H
has worked hard on the place,
making improvement, rebuilding,
painting and the other necespary
clorcs. Last January he pltced
an order for four chromium plated
easy chairs; which would grace
the front porch so that the Callus
and their guests could feast their
eyes on the beauties of tle canal
in comfort.
The cha.irs finally arrived nine
months later and waiting 'or an
opporLunity to be taken to the
canal home, rested in a big park-,
mg case in the alley behind the
,tore.
One minute the packing case
was there, then presto it was gone
the disappearing tail of the gar-
bage truck giving Catto a clue..A.
freizted dash to the gaxbage dump
disclosed the chairs, minns their*
outer dressing burned oad spoiled'
by action of the flames,
Carte is woebegone over th
spoiled furniture, not for the Value
of them, but by the length of time
it took for delivery and further-
more he will' be charged a garbage
collection fee for taking the big
packing case to the dump.
