Title:
Steep log flume
Date Created (ISO Standard):
1925

Description:
Two logs run down a very steep flume. The description on the photograph reads 'those two logs you see in the chute near the curve are not nailed there. They're traveling so fast that they raise smoke in going around the bend. This operation is unusual in that the logs are chute-trailed to the top of the slope and then shot down this dry trough into the flume proper.'
