A repetition of last winter's experience certainly should not be risked." - There are several reasons why the motor truck has not been used in the lumber industry up to the present time A good many tracts of lumber no being logged would In times of peace be neglected, es it is a very expensive undertaking to ran railroad lines into small. bunches of. timber.
