State Fair grounds is the best show of the convention lacking only Saturday afternoon's parade and it is also revealing comment on what's happened to Upper Peninsula logging And to the machinery industry which has mechanized It.

There has probably never been a more Impressive display nf equipment at any of the 19 Lake States Logging Congresses han is assembled today at the f1 air Grounds, but some of the equipment dealers are worried Bob Brebner of Marquette said that 15 years of experience of Logging Congress attendance had built an expectancy of about 20,000 visitors to his firm's display of heavy equipment at the shows years ago. year we'll be he said, we get 3.000.” Asked the reason he said, logging industry as we knew it in the Upper Peninsula is He explained that the logging camp and big timber harvest operation is gone and that the small jobber with modest equipment needs has taken over the harvest. Most Pettibone Michigan wood handling machines built in the Upper Peninsula's own Baraga, he suggested, are going to Georgia and other faraway places and not the Lake States.

be seen, eight big pieces of equipment worth a total of $150.000. It is remarkable, said Edward (Bud) Gauthier, factory representative of Michigan of Baraga, that when the Logging Congress in Escanaba the last time 12 years ago it was only turning out 5 machines a month and new turning out 40 to 50 machines a month at its Baraga plant. It has 8 machines on display here, more than a month's production 12 years ago. At Baraga it makes 2 sizes of skidders and 5 models of Cary Lifts, with i variations. Six of the 8 ma! chines shown here were made in Baraga and the U.

P. products go all over world. A month ago it shipped a capacity Cary-Lift to Russia. The Lake States, as Brebner suggested, are a minor part of Pettibone market. Gauthier estimated that there are 60 to 75 Pettibone machines in the Upper Peninsula.

Prime usages are in pulp mill wards, lumberyards, they are not all used in woods op- I erations. Escanaba contributed made! in Escanaba Harnischfeger Miti-Mite cranes to the Breb- nei line, and Gafner Automotive Machine Inc showed its Iron Mule wood loaders and Carriers The exhibit of Made-in-Canada machinery was impressive It included snowmobiles for winter travel, but more especially husky big skidders with hinged backbones and power in all four big rubber tired wheels. Tree Farmer and Timber jack offer such vehicles and Pettibone has several skidders. plus a 6-speed traveler which carries the logs out of the forest. The Gafner Iron Mule performs the same functions in somewhat more modest proportions.

and Gafner has also made some protoype skidders for Canadian manufacturers with foreign markets. Brebner thinks there is a Lake States potential for a big skidder like the Timberjack if logging is adopted to the machine's usage. This would probably entail skidding out pulpwood in tree length instead of bolts. The mechanization of Logging is about complete, the Logging Congress display of machinery indicates. The machinery is husky, efficient and expensive.

The variety and range of power saws continues to expand. the exhibits of hundreds of the machines by many makers at the Logging Congress reveals. Some are used to power little go-karts which haul people around the grounds: chainsaw motors art' used to power portable pumps and earth augers and other machinery. Most of the saws are in the 5 to 7 hp class, but some have as little as three quarter? horsepower and can be used for sawing off bumblebee wings and trimming eyelashes.
