John Labbe oral history recording on lumbering and logging Part 3
No full textPart three of an audio recording of an oral history of John T. Labbe recorded on January 31, 1978, on logging in Washington County, Oregon, during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Labbe had worked in logging since he was a kid during the summer and he has written a book called Railroading in the Woods. In this recording, he finishes going through his alphabetical list of mill and logging companies, with most of them being in the western part of the county and one in Middleton in the east. Labbe describes the associations that the logging owners formed to set prices and limits on production. West Coast Lumber Associations and the Four Ls (Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen) were a couple of these associations. The demand for union organizations depended on the type of job being done in the logging industry as some of them had set schedules and prices already and the workers did not want to be watched over. Labbe finishes by talking about personally knowing many of the owners of these companies with a purely business relationship. There is a typed introduction and a full transcription of the interview
John Labbe oral history recording on lumbering and logging Part 2
No full textPart two of an audio recording of an oral history of John T. Labbe recorded on January 31, 1978, on logging in Washington County, Oregon, during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Labbe had worked in logging since he was a kid during the summer and he has written a book called Railroading in the Woods. In this recording, he talks about his book that shows primarily through photographs how loggers used railroads. He talks about the spread of railroads in northern Oregon and how the majority of them ran along the coast range - like the Southern Pacific Tillamook Line. Describes the difference between laying down a permanent railway line compared to logging on a dirt road, the equipment and the care to which the operators gave them in their free time, and how the decline of the railroads coincided coincidentally with the Great Depression. About halfway through the recording, Labbe switches topics slightly to talk about individual logging companies and their relationship to each other in Washington County. He goes through an alphabetical list in his hand of the companies and talks about the owners, their location, and how they generally only lasted between five and ten years, with some of the smaller ones only lasting a year or two. Near the end, Labbe describes how the timber in the east was running out and so many of the logging companies chose to buy land in Oregon instead of going out of business.

John Labbe oral history recording on lumbering and logging Part 1
No full textPart one of an audio recording of an oral history of John T. Labbe recorded on January 26, 1978, on logging in Washington County, Oregon, during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Labbe had worked in logging since he was a kid during the summer and he has written a book called Railroading in the Woods. In this recording, he tells the history of logging operations, the mills, and the railroads, and how they got started in Washington County. He describes different people in the field and how they were involved including Mr. Jones of Cedar Mills, C. H. Wheeler of the Timber and Cochran Mills, John DuBois who owned many mills including the Wheeler Lumber Company; Tony Laussman of Stanley-Smith Timber Company and Sunset Logging Company; Mr. Miller of Cox-Miller lumber company; and David Eccles who built railways throughout Washington state and Washington County. He talked about gyppo loggers and describes the most and least successful ones- Lyda, whose operation was likely the one that started the Tillamook Burn, and Max Meyer, a former baseball player who used old and used equipment. He mentions that the Tualatin River was not only once used for logging but for boats as well. He finishes with describing the life of loggers and how the Tillamook Burn affected the logging business.

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
