CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 3' The Lombard Steam Log Hauler Dominion of Canada Patent No. 108676. S^cUtio , 55 000 ' In lumbering operations a variety of propositions are encountered in getting the logs from the woods to the mill or river. In some instances it means a straight haul of 8 or 10 miles while in others, possibly, it requires a haul of several miles to some small stream down which the logs are driven to the larger river. Driving logs on these small streams as every lumberman knows is a precarious, expensive and unsatisfactory business. A large crew must be kept on hand to take advantage of the spring freshet which is practically the only time that the logs can be moved. Now with the Lombard Steam Log Hauler the logs would be taken direct from the yarding ground in the woods to the main river, mill or shipping point, moving them during the winter at the rate of 50,000 to 100,000 feet, or more, per load and making several trips per day, dependine- on the distance to be hauled. * The crew required in moving the logs would be the Engineer, Fireman and Pilot, so that a saving is effected of 15 to 18 teamsters and 50 to 75 horses. The Log Hauler will work on any road where horses can, but of course the best results are obtained on a comparatively level road, well iced. There is practically no expense when the machine is not in use which is a point to be con- sidered when comparing the Log Hauler with horses.
