A heavy log handling machine built by R. G. LeTourneau, Inc. of Longview Texas can lift a truckload of logs in one bite. Weighing 40000 pounds, the device stacks iron wood logs like firewood and promises easier work for lumber mills and logging camps across the country.
In Longview Texas a new Log Stacker from R G LeTourneau Inc will transform loading and restacking of logs. The machine lugs 50 000 pounds of timber with two 10 foot tusk like wedges and clamps, then moves the logs to storage. It replaces the old method of dumping loads and lifting them one by one.
A new biography of George Putnam editor and publisher of the Salem Capital Journal from 1919 to 1953 appears in the book An Oregon Crusader. The work by George S. S. documents his journalistic career and repeated public campaigns.
The 250 page book from Bin fords and Mort of Portland features direct quotes from Putnam’s editorials and highlights an insistence on exposing crookedness and supporting sincerity. The Putnam story author returned to the school of journalism for research on Oregon journalism. Turnbull taught at the university for 31 years, retiring in 1949.

Mr. Axe notes inflationary pressures rise in the postwar era and 1944 boom. He cites high price to earnings stocks and notes no immediate downturn, with durable activity in building, autos, and defense likely for another year. Rates rise slowly, Fed resources ample, foreign trade improving, but political developments may limit security prices next year.
A group of elderly women in a home joke about a strong man visiting to make love to them. One resident notes Gertie is losing sense. The piece ends with a quip that only a dime buys the same today as 20 years ago, likening it to a vacation before a new boss.
