Title
English: High lead logging, Hobart, 1917
Description
English:

Many logging companies rigged cables and pulleys on tall spar trees to haul logs to loading sites. Once a spar tree was chosen, a high rigger scrambled up the tree, cut off the branches and the top, and attached pulleys and cables. To help him climb, he wore a special belt and spikes on his legs and boots. It might take him thirty minutes to climb a 180-foot tree. Wood & Iverson was a logging company that had a large operation in Hobart, Washington.

Handwritten on image: Wood & Iverson Inc. Hobart, Wn. 1917. Handwritten on verso: Early days of the high lead (spar tree) logging. Note gin pole used for loading on R.R. cars with locomotive used for power. 1917.
