After the trees are cut and stripped they are first gathered together in huge piles, called yards, which line the road to the landing. As soon as the snow falls the snow-plow clears this road and is followed by the sprinkler. The water thrown from the sprinkler at once freezes, making a hard, icy road which will sustain the heavy sled loads of logs and enable one team of horses to haul from five to six thousand feet of timber. These logs are all gathered at the landing, usually on the bank of some river or on the frozen surface of the river itself, to await the coming of the spring thaw, when they are run down stream to the various mills. An exceptional group of scenes show the evolution of logging, first oxen, then horses, next steam (hauling five loads), and then gasoline. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
