February, 1907 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 73 ther than to show by comparison the wonderful revo- lution which has taken place in this phase of our lum- ber industry. With later years, however, the situation has taken on an entirely new aspect, for with twice as many consumers, and the demand increasing with tremen- dous strides, with the logging train now a necessity, and lumbering conducted on a scale hitherto unknown, with hungry, high speed band and gang saws, and automatic feed literally eating up the saw logs and cutting down costs at every turn, with lumber enter- ber to be handled accessible to the road. These branch roads, being very temporary in their nature, and constructed as cheaply as possible, with few- switches or side tracks, the logs, in order to reduce hauling expense, are brought to the nearest point on the railroad, with the result that loading must be done at frequent points along the track, and with only a comparatively small quantity at each point. It is necessary, therefore, in order to load cheaply by a steam derrick, that it should be readily and quickly removable from point to point along the E-1S94—Leader Supported on Grou ing into thousands of new forms of manufacture, this problom of "cheaper delivery at the mill" has be- come a matter of most serious thought. Since the logging car and logging railway have be- come necessary adjuncts to modern lumbering, it is self-evident that in handling logs in such vast quanti- ties, the matter of economic loading became a neces- sity. Up to twelve or fifteen years ago, loading by machinery was quite unusual; in fact it is only.
