THE TIE HACKER
While there are those proclaiming the generosity of
the Federal government in its road building activities and
contributing worthy laudation of the perfection of much
of this work, the fact should not be lost sight of that the
humble tie-hacker has more than matched this reclama
tion of the wilderness by his contribution of roads. And
for these he has not received one penny of compensation,
save in what comes thru his narrow margin of profit on
the sale of his ties. ‘ ~
Leave the traveled highways and follow a tie-hack
er’s road to the very summit of the timber-clad mountains
and one begins to gain an appreciation of the herculean
task facing the man who turns to the forest for his live
lihood. There is not a heavily timbered region which can
not be penetrated to timberline over roads capable of ac-1
eommodating tractor or wagon. In fact in the aggregate j
of the labor of cutting ties, road building equals that of j
felling and hewing trees. And if there is any man who
earns more than he receives it is the tie-hacker.
Again, one finds comfortable cabins, built high up in
the hills, welcome refuges for the explorer, hunter and
prospector. These are always at the command of whom
soever may happen along,—with their stoves, a few cook
ing utinsils, an axe and mayhap a cross-cut saw—some
time a supply of food left behind by the thoughful
Taking great sled-leads of ties down a 40 per cent
grade behind a caterpillar is in itself a difficult task. Then
add to this the long hours and deprivations while taking
advantage of tides to raft over to the railroad, the un
loading and piling, and one begins to discover where the
men of iron ply their talents, and gain a deeper respect
for these who contribute so much with such little return.
A significant paragraph in a statement issued by the
Empire Migration Committee of England says: “It’s un
likely that the Dominions will for years to come be ready
to welcome new immigrants. Unless there is an unex
pectedly rapid development of mineral resources.”
William Ullman advises that if you cannot buy an
automobile, sell one. Of course one is expected to use dis
cretion as to whom it belongs.
Some candidates are on the stump, while others are!
up a tree. '
Anyway, it will cost our creditors a cent more for
each bill they send us.
