jo beech and maple and there j were three or iour boys who jhad a good time tallying off in that bush one night at that time it was owned by james j coorey and his son eddie well ithe boys got a fair share of i taffy for their work that night and they werent caught doing i it either no dogs around to bark that night it was in this buh that the late john phillips who lived on the farm north on lot 14 at that time and his late brother sam rut 100 cord of cordwood in 25 days they cut it and the hoover boys or their hired help drew it out and piled it now then you young fellows come along with our chain saws and see how much more ou can cut several years ago hie late robert raicliff advertised in the tribune that he was going to fell one of the old virgin pine trees that stood on their hundred acres on lot 14 at 3 oclock on saturday afternoon and anybody who wanted to see it fall was invited to come along well there were quite a num ber who came including the late dr mackay from tnionville who was buried may 15 1956 at the appointed hour the boys set to work with one of those beloved chain saws and tried i very hard to cut it down but to no avail robert who had been in the bush before and had a fair knowledge of the sue of that pine was wise enough to phone over to a veteran bush- man to bring his tfoot saw and be sure to come well the old crosscut was surely needed those boys spent quite a while trying their best to lay the tree low but were beaten to a finish in the attempt two old bushmen seth wide- man and ross harper who had sawn many a tree before took their mackinaw coats off and soon had the big pine down chain saws are fine for cutting saplings or small trees but are of no use for big trees ill have to go up sometime and find out how many virginpine there are still left in that hundred acres the last four in the hoover bush were cut out in 1920 robert rat cliff harvey clendening and two or three others cut them down harvey and robert understood how to
