Sorting Them Out Item Info
- Title:
- Sorting Them Out
- Creator:
- Peterson
- Donor:
- Michele Wylie
- Date Created (Archival Standard):
- 1910-1940
- Description:
- A group of men stand on wooden platforms using long poles to guide logs at the Sorting Gaps on the Pend Oreille River.
- Original Description:
- Hallie Griswold said that each log as it went into the logs drive was stamped as to which company it belonged to. On the cut ends the stamp was driven in with a sledgehammer so deeply that an inch or two could be sawed off and the mark would still show. Logs were also stamped on the bark (which might slip off), and each also bore a U.S. Forest Service mark--if it was forest service timber, which most was. The Beardmore stamp was a large VIV, he said; Humbird was a big H, Fidelity a big F, Dalkena a big D and Panhandle a large P. Archivist's note: accession card notes Peterson #309-16A.
