July 1935: "With the advent of 'cats' for logging there is grave danger that skyline rigs like buggy whips, hoop skirts and mustache cups, will be consigned to obscurity, unless new uses are found for them. City of Seattle's Forester, Alen Thompson, and Supt. Gusti of the Pacific States Lumber Company have one to offer. They were confronted with the problem of delivering materials for a 100-foot ring connected tower to the top of Little Mountain in the Cedar River watershed and hit upon the idea of using one of the logging company's idle machines. Gusti rigged up a skyline and sent materials to the top of the mountain via the air, saving the expense of importing a 'cat' to build a road and a truck to do the hauling as was originally planned. W.H. Lund" (Six Twenty-Six)
