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 charge. 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 r 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. familiar brick wallg, the shop is a veritable beehive of organized 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.

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 th,mL 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.

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.

The dinner was served at the Colonial House and the meeting later was moved to Memorial Hall. 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. Allyn Man Jailed On Robbery Count Pleading not guilty to charges of arfned robbery, in Justice W. A. Magoon's court Wednesday noon, Virgil Anderson is out on $500 bail. The complainant was Melvin H. Bursiel of ShelleD. An- derson claims in defense that Bur- siel was trespassing on his prop- erty and Anderson took therifle away from Bursiel at the point of a pistol to protect his property. 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 civic leader, told 'members of the Sltelton Kiwanis Club at their regular weekly luncheon meeting at Memorial Hall this week, de- tails of the proposed sustained yield contract, proposed between the govenmmnt, and. the company, hearing on whmh will be held here September 18. According to Mr. Kreienbaum, the details of the cooperative pro-, ject between the goverhment and the company calls for a 1.00 year period of cooperative forest man- agement of public and private lands, during which time-the cut will be controlled. Details of the proposed contract are as follows: The Act of March 29, 1944, and subsequent regulations, have con- ferred upon the Forest Service, U, S, Department of Agriculture, au- thority to establish cooperative sustained yield units when this ac- tion is Judged to be in the public interest, and to enter into cooper- ative sustained yield agreements with the owners of private forest lands within such units in order "... (a) to stabilize communities, forest industries, enployment and taxable forest wealth; (b) to as- sure a continuous and ample sup, ply of forest products; and () to secure the benefits of forests in regulation of water supply and stream flow, prevention or' soil erosion, amelioration of climate, and preservation of wildlife." The Forest Service proposes to establisl a snstained yield unit comprised of private forest lands in parts of Mason. Grays Harbor and Thurston counties, in the State of Washington) , and certain National Forest lands intermits- gled with and continuous thereto. The unit, if established will be known as the Simlton Cooperative Sustained Yield Unit. Following the estabUshment of the unit, it is the proposal of the Forest Service to enter into a co- operative agreement with the Sirrkpson Logging Company of Shelton, Washington, which will provide for tho coordinated man- agement on a sustained ield bas- is of National ]orest and com- pany lands. Lands proposed for cooperative m.a.nagenmnt include: Na,tionaL Forest lands---74,427 acres in Ma. son county, 37,039 acres in Grays Harbor county and no land in Thurston county, The copany will commit, 108,610 acres of their own land in Mason county, 44,158 acres in Grays Harbor county and 5,992 acres in Tlturston county o a total of 111,466 acres of govern merit forest land and 158,760 acres of Simpson land, Under the terms of the propos- ed agreement, which will be ef- fective for 100 years it is contemt +, plated that dUi'lng an adjustmeff period ending in 1956 the rate of timber removal from the commit, ted lands will be 100 million board feet per year. Beginning in 105"/ the cut will be reduced to that :° allowable under sustained yield management, which it is estimat ed will be 90 million bbard "feet mr year. The major porti(m of th timber to be harvested from the commit, ted lands will be manufactured at ShelleD and at McCleary in Grays Harbor county. The estimated population of the city of Shelton is 4,700 while that of McCleary is 1,400. Employment by the Simp, son Logging Company in these two communities, based upon the current utilization of 100 anillion feet of logs per year, is approxl. mately 530 and 495 respectively. In addition, 350 men are employed (Continued on page three) 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.
