I, FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1951 [Folklore Chief Tells Tales Of Loyalsock Lumber Drives Historians of the Loyalsock Val. ley like Major Bowles, Fred Cole- | ‘Roaring Joe’ was out as he had’ man, and Bill de Lancey, are fond of telling old tales of the Three Musketeers of the ‘Sock,’ ‘Roar.ng Joe’ Campbell, ‘Lost’ Connors, and Bob Gable, ‘the giant of Hensler- town,’ a trio of favorite woodsmen employed by Ario Pardee whose 0g drives eventually took every- thing from a spar to a toothp.ck down the turbulent stream. ‘Roaring. Joe’ was the highest paid woods boss in Pardee’s em- ploy, receiving $3,000 a year, while Connors and Gable received almost as much. “There must be a head to everything,” said Pardee, em- phatically, in his office at Hills- grove, “and Roaring Joe is the ooss of all my 20 splash dams.” H. W. Shoemaker, chef of the Folklore Division, Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commis- sion, tells these tales of the Loyal- sock lumber drives: “In the log driving season, about 1880, Pardee arrived at the Slot, the narrowest part of the Loyal- sock, where the stream rusnes straight down hill for a mile be- tween ledges of rock, several hun- dred feet. high, a Pennsylvania counterpart of the Au Sable Chasm in New York State. There was a rafting flood and the rafts for the mills at Loyalsockville and Mon- toursville were given the right of way before Pardee’s friendly rival woods bosses let loose their splashes, each determined to be the . first in Pardee's basin at ‘Montour.’ “There was another sort of riv- alry between two of the mighty jam crackers.

Yet the three intrepid. Jam Crackers, and their helpers, were on top of it all, jumping from upright log. to upright leg, their peaveys and jam pikes gleaming in the frosty air of early fall. “Over and over they went, the huge sticks of white pine, spruce, and hemlock seeming to enjoy the turmoil like they were race horses at the barrier and as they came out of the Slot it was hard to tell who was ahead. Every crew was intact, not a soul had gone down in that great pell mell “On the cliff at Indian Rock stood the imperturbable Pardee, his long white hair blowing out from under his ten gallon hat, looking more like a preacher than a financier, church builder, and benefactor of schools and colleges. Beside him were his pal woods- man, Robert McEwen, and the veteran driver, Hughie Dewar, also Gid Brownaway's gal, her parents and brothers and sisters, and her grandfather. “At Loyalsockville the three Musketeers were abreast. At the mouth of Fairfield Run it was still anybody's race, but there a raft had snagged and the others ‘pack- saddled it,” making a barrier which piled up the log drives into a solid barrier. “Here ended the log driver's race for supremacy, and the ‘Three Musketeers’ and their gangs un- wound themselves as best they could from the confusion of up- ended, swaying logs, and tangled driftwood. The hand of Gid Brown- away's Sal was still ungiven, though both her lovers came out of the fierce melee with scarcely a bruise. It took all fall and all winter to open a channel, and get the timber to the Montoursville Mills, hundreds of teams of horses being required inthe operation and Sal was worn to a shadow by the long uncertainty. ‘Lost’ Con- nors was a little ‘chunky’ man, Gable was a giant, how could she choose?
