The reign of Bunyan is over and he has gone. Some say he is dead, others
that he has gone to Alaska, some think he has gone to South America or
Africa, but nearly all agree that he is no longer in the logging game in
the United States. A new era has come, and not the greatest of the
revolutions is the substitution of power machinery for the ox. The logger
is coming to recognize his social responsibility, timber is being utilized
as a social heritage to be managed for posterity, and the isolation of the
camps has been ended. The logging game is becoming civilized and Bunyan
was not able to make such great adjustments. He had to retire to other and
wilder haunts. The great days are over; the old gods are dead, and Bunyan
is only a myth.
