A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
For some years the writer has been interested in the transporting of white pine logs, mining timber, and cedar poles from their place of production in Idaho, Washington, and British Columbia, to the place of manufacture and shipment to Eastern markets. Two methods have been used for transporting where such distances as 20 to 100 miles are necessary: First by the use of natural streams having sufficient water to float timber at all seasons of the year; and, second, by railroads, the former being much cheaper but not always available.
