Not being floatable, the hardwoods had to wait for the arrival of the railroads and it is this development that has brought about the extensive production of hardwood that is now taking place in districts that were at one time more celebrated for their softwoods. From time to time we have had the privilege of describing vari- ous hardwood operations in northern Ontario.
