Steam Lumbering. The twentieth-century industry of
logging by steam reaches its highest' development in the
big tree country of western America. The logs are
dragged out of the forest and to the end of the "skid
road," where they are loaded on railroad trucks by means
of powerful wire rope cableways. The cables are nearly
an inch thick and one thousand or more feet in length, and
they wind on drums operated by powerful engines, which
drag the logs over the roughest kind of a road at sur-
prising speed.
