Stood Like a Stone Wall

It was JuIy 21st, 1861.

The Federal troops were swarming against the Confederate lines, and overwhelming some of them.

Then General Lee heartened his men by pointing to where General Jackson's men stood with their leader, receiving every charge with the bayonet, and giving not a step. And General I-.ree made a historical name for a man when he shouted:

And "Stonewall" Jackson's name has gone down into history because of that shout.

There are two men, two lumbermen, two Hoo-Hoo in the Golden State of California, concerning whom that same cry of General Lee might have been made, and that during most trying times. Those men are Frank N. Trower and Richard' A. Hisoox, both of San Francisco.

The Order of Hoo-Hoo owes a great debt to these two men, because it might well be said that there was a time in the trying days that are gone when most of the faith in the future of IIoo-Hoo that existed on the Pacific Slope, rested in the bosoms of these two stalwart men.

A few years ago when IIoo-Hoo was split with d.issension and almost destroyed by a variety of storms such as few fraternal organizations have ever survived, interest in Hoo' Hoo and loyalty to the Order was at the lowest possible ebb. In the South, where lloo-Iloo was born, it hacl praetically ceased to exist; and entirely ceased to function. Ancl in most other places it was considered a lost cause.

And during these times when most men said to themselves: "'What's the use worrying about it-Hoo-Iloo is gone, " these two San F ranciscans were the absolute and only fortress of Hoo-IIoo in'the West. A:rtt it should be said of them with limitless pricle by their fellow members that they never faltered, never Iost their vision of the bigness of this brotherhood of lumbermen; that they "kept the faith" as men seldom keep it.

And they have had the satisfaction of seeing Hoo-IIoo not only come baek to its own, because that would simply mean a return to previous cond.itions, but have seen it reach a place in the life of the lumber industry of California such as it never knew in the old days.

If the order establishes that Eloo-Hoo grove in the Redwoods, as we hope they shall, we suggest that two great trees, emblematic of the biggest and finest, be selected, and that one of them be named and. so marked for Frank N. Trower, and the other for Dick lliscox. It would be small repayment for men who STOOD I-/IKE A STONE WALL when all others were giving way.

Frank N. Trower is No. 12,835, and he was Snark of the Universe from September, 1912, to September, 1913.

Richard A. Iliscox is No. 14,423, and he was Snark of the Universe from September, 1919, to September, 1920.
