1108 LUMBERING IN THE CANADIAN PINE FORESTS
A splendid picture series of Logging in the NorthWest Territory (differing in many respects to that placed on the market last year). The first section shows the telling of a monster tree, which is transported over gullies by means of cable and pulley. The trunks are then chained together and dragged through the forest by teams often horses. The last section shows the ' log rolls" by the sea, where, one after the other, these massive logs are hnrled into the water with great splashes. A grand subject, of best photographic quality. Length 300 feet.

1109 MILLING LOGS ON PACIFIC COAST (NORTH WEST TERRITORY CANADA.
This subject would form an appropriate continuation of the preceding film, showing further progress of the log. Here we give an excellent panoramic view of the log rafts, having been floated down the river and caught by chained "booms," are held in tow until required to be milled into lumber, when they are drawn from the water over a log-way by means of an endless chain gear. Arriving at the mill, they are sawed into boards and proper lengths, these again being loaded into the hold of a ship lying alongside the mill dock, while the refuse (sawdust and cuttings) is chuted into a heap in the mill yard and consumed by fire. Many of these burning heaps are shown in this picture.
