This is rolled a legend in sometime one can walk across his legs with shoes, the water is turned on to make a driving head, his breaths out of the so the logs roll over and this is a beautiful sight and most interesting to see these logs rolling and tumbling and pounding all day long. And then after i took this view of the body of logs came down into the night and for wing on the opposite shore and had to be dynamited off. Next scene is taken a mile below for Young Morrison and another fellow to see that the blogs dont fall or jam.

In amending the log about 30 feet from shore and you will see it drop down to pick him up and unfortunately, my camera wentdn down at the critical timi did not catch him as he jumped aboard. The battle in the cold is putting some men ashore to go to work down below, there is a view of the falls and the battle coming down over the rapid and its some joyride. In 1920 i came over.

Note these children in their bathing suits. There river drivers of the future. Theyre not the kind to be worn but they clear the logs. Howard and mills were built by doctor howard of boston who was a member of the boston mill and land company. Use to be. The pope brothers purchase these mills and sent over here to manage them. Theyve been under hiss hand since that day. The old fellow belongs up onto the slip is harrison. These rules were taken partly by doctor cain of washington d. C.

This is the backside of the band saw for the solid lumber coming off the live roles pine boards 16 inches wide with square edge board going to the edger. That is the way we get them out on the loading platform. The life edge boards have to be edged. The logs are set on a shaft with guides which pull them back and forth to make six, eight, or 10inch boards. Now the trimmer. We are now cutting edging. Has some job to keep the rules clear of the lumber. We are getting out 10 by 12 timber for bridge frames. The edging shingles.

Opening the drawbridge that leads to the east across the river. You will notice the tow boat the reflection of the smoke in thehe water. This is the calm before the storm and we had a good one that night. Just as the tow boat is going to the drawbridge she wont notice the steam from the train, leaving the sports station about 9 00 a.
