A key task was to locate a suitable spar tree - the vertical pole shown in this photo. The spar tree had to be trimmed of its branches, “topped”, and then rigged with a series of supporting guy wires, an assortment of blocks, and working lines.
This view of the Deer Island Logging Company, on the Oregon side of the lower Columbia, was taken by Clark Kinsey - one of two brothers who between them took thousands of photographs of logging in Oregon and Washington.
