Heading for home, one small cougar.

And one sore-headed old bachelor.

And one mother bear,

complete with cub.

The Carbon County Mill

was Jess Bradley's headquarters.

And by the time

Charlie was quarter-grown,

he had full run of the mill yard.

Charlie made friends everywhere,

but come lunch hour

he always headed for one special place:

That little caf.

It was a hot spot for handouts.

It was also home base for a cougar-hating

fox terrier named Chainsaw.

Whenever he saw that overgrown

house cat fixing to invade his territory,

Chainsaw would set a trap.

Today, he decided to sort of make out like

he was going somewhere to bury a bone.

Like always, Charlie fell for the trick.

He figured is was safe now

to move in and mooch a meal.

Charlie stopped just long enough

to check all possible hiding places -

except the right one.

Then he put in a call

to his personal friend, Potlatch.

Hey, be right there, Charlie.

Of course, Potlatch liked his dog,

but he had a lot of sympathy

for a born loser, too.

Chainsaw?

Chainsaw!

Wherever you are, you beat it!

Come on, inside.

Quick!

You've come to see me

to get a little snack, huh?

Well, come on.

I got something nice for you. Look.

Chainsaw figured

he had that cat cornered for sure.

All he needed now

was a kindly customer heading his way.

That would be Jess Bradley.

OK, Chainsaw.

Go on in.

Oh, no!

Catch him! Charlie, come back here!

Don't let him get on the shelf! Charlie!

Aw, my new kitchen!

- Corner him!

- He's heading for the door, Jess!

Hey, Tim, grab the cat!

He's your cat - you grab him.

Chainsaw!

Chainsaw, down! Chainsaw!

Potlatch, get your dog.

Stop that!

Chainsaw, when that cat grows up

you're gonna have a problem.

When he grows up?

What do you call him now?

Just a great big, overgrown kitten.

That's what he's always gonna be.

Aren't you, Good-Time Charlie, huh?

Aren't you fella?

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

In the nature of things,

Charlie did keep growing up.

But at heart, he was still one man's kitten.

Right now, Charlie was helping supervise

the finish of the winter logging activities.

Next would come a full-scale,

old-fashioned river drive.

The start of a river drive

is something worth going to see.

It's the biggest operation

of the whole year.

60 million feet of timber ready to ride

the river 120 miles through the wilderness.

It always begins in early spring,

when the river is high and rising.

Then one giant nudge at the key log,

and the river drive really gets rolling.

Now a big-scale river drive like this

swings into action

through several well-planned stages.

First to move out,

after the main body of logs,

is the number one crew of river men.
