To Recover Sunken Logs.
To recover from tha bottom of Cana-
dian streums the sufiken logs that are
lost while on the way from the log-
ging catlaps to the mills a newly or-
ganized corporation will employ ma-
chinery specially adapted to the pur-
pose instead of the ordinary devices
used for moving timber, it was an-
nounced In Popular Mechanics Mag-
azine.
Compressed air and high pressure
water streams will be used to loosen
the logs. As 10 per cent of the logs
cut sink nnd remain embedded for
various periods without losing their
value by deterioration, the business
of raising them should prove to be
one of great commercial Importance
to lumbermen.
Quite So.
