While to some it may not be an attraction, to others there may be both pleasure and interest in witnessing the operations of the Fallen Leaf sawmill. This is situated on the western side of the lake, and is a scene of activity and bustle when logging and lumbering are in progress.
He could never stand by and order men around, but always took hold and did the hardest of the work himself; and the excessively heavy work of logging injured his health. He had several severe spells of nervous rheumatism, and from that time his right arm was troubled with the trembling palsy, which grew worse until his death.
And I'll do it, too, if you can induce your uncle to give me the kind of logging contract I want with his road." "I couldn't do that, Bryce. He has you whipped and he is not merciful to the fallen. You'll have to surrender unconditionally." Again she laid her little hand timidly on his wounded forearm. "Please give up, Bryce for my sake. If you persist, somebody will get killed."
She also had some idea of what one would have to face floundering over the snow-barred passes into the great desolation in winter time. "Well," she asked quietly, "what did you do then?" "We worked in a logging camp until spring, and then I went down to Vancouver to raise money for the next campaign.

One company alone employs 1,250 men in saw mills and logging, and it is responsible for having introduced improved machinery of every type into the section. The early history of the great lumber business is full of interest, and this is one point alone in which the advance has been tremendous.
"There's been a shake-up in our combination," he remarked casually to Fyfe. "Monohan and dad have split over a question of business policy. Walter's taking over all our interests on Roaring Lake. He appears to be going to peel off his coat and become personally active in the logging industry. Funny streak for Monohan to take, isn't it?
The dam's still at the mercy of the next big flood." "It's a little curious that you seem to stand it better than you did the logging," said Gordon, with a quick glance at him.
