If you ever get a chance to check out the Douglas County museum in Roseburg notice the name on the Steam donkey out front; it was donated by my Uncle Sherman, his wife and Lee Monteith's wife were sisters. I think somewhere in their display they have a picture of Uncle moving it up Yellow Butte. One of my earliest memories is taking the old road from Phillips Ranch up to Yellow Butte when I was seven or so and Dad pointing out a slope he yarded that
thing up at the time the picture was taken.

Another term for a stationary engineer is "millwright" -- and those old logging donkeys were not stationary -- they were self-powered via winching themselves on the skids (large logs, typically) on which they were mounted.<br><br>Bill Strickland<br> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
