FEELING TREES ON PUGET SOUND
morning repast being over, each one goes to
his work-the chopper with his ''board and
two axes: one to cut through the thick bark,
and the other, ground very sharp and thin,
to cut the clear wood. The mere ''felling of
a tree, as generally understood by woodmen,
is but simple matter of labor; but in the
forests of Oregon and Washington Territory
it is quite a novel undertaking. The tree
being extremely large at it's base, with i'm
mense outspreading roots, and frequently
''shaky, or perhaps little decayed at the
'butt, it is found to be saving of labor to
cut it sometimes as high up as fifteen feet
from the ground. To do this, the chopper
makes a square notch into it, as high up as
practicable, and inserts the end of his board
which is about five feet long and eight or
nine inches wide, furnished with an iron
''up" at the end, which catches in the
tree, preventing it from slipping out
when the man is standing on it.;
he then leaps upon the board, cuts another
notch as high up as he can reach; strikes his
axe into the trunk above his head, holding on
to the helve with one hand, he sticks his toes
into the notch below, and then removes the
board from it to the notch above, while, half
jumping and climbing, he mounts his board
again. If high enough up, he chips off the
bark with his heavier axe, and then, with
his thin, sharp one cuts broad ''scarf" into
the heart of the tree on the side he desires it
to fall; then, chopping the other side till the
tree is about to come down, he calls out
"Under! under" as a warning signal. A
few more strokes with the keen axe and the
leviathan of the forest begins to bow its
towering top. When sure of its falling the
chopper filings his axes at distance to the
ground, and quickly removes his board to
the notch below; then, swinging himself clear
of the ponderous roots, he jumps to the
ground, while the tree comes down with a
crashing noise that is heard for miles distant
