OREGON |
A carnival of timbering is staged along a stretch of the Flushing River by a troupe of 25 men and women from the Northwest, with much climbing, chopping, birling (log-rolling), jousting from logs, double-bladed ax throwing and clowning. Spars of Douglas fir 120 feet tall are set on the bank and used for many of the feats; wear and tear requires the replacement of these great masts every two or three days. Bleachers seat 1,250; under them visitors will find a display of Oregon industries and a souvenir shop.
