THE LUMBERING INDUSTRY
The first stage in the lumbering industry is known as logging. Formerly the trees were felled in the forest in the winter, hauled on snow sleds to the streams, where they were piled on the banks, and in the spring, when the streams were free from ice, they were floated down to the mills. Most of the northern forests were cut and transformed into lumber by this method.
