GREAT RAFTS OF LOGS
long- ocean voyages Residents along the British Columbia coast, and up the Fraser River as well, have long been familiar with the sight of great rafts of logs being towed to sawmills at Vancouver, New Westminster and the lumber ports of the island. These rafts, __ or booms, however, are not made for long ocean voyages. They are simply one layer of logs, held in place by chains, boom-sticks and swifters. In Oregon for many years a logging concern has been transporting 5,000,000 ft. of logs at once a .distance of 1100 miles over the open sea. The largest, called Davis rafts, from British Columbia, come from the Queen Charlotte’s.
