The equipment of those early plants consisted of one upright saw. known as a Mooley saw. usually driven by water-| power.

The equipment supplied the celebrants for their excursions con- sisted of one wheezy. wood-burning locom-. -otive. Attached to this. were box cars with planks arranged `around for seats. and some- times when box cars were scarce. flat cars gwould be used. On `these. in addition to the plank seats, astout railing of the same material was built around the cars to pre- vent the human cargo fromspilling on the right of way.

On the pine plains and where Camp Bor- den now is, thegfowth was largely Nor- way pine, and in places the timber grew so thickly it wasnsmall and very tall and straight. Great quantities of these small Norway pine poles, five or six inches at the butt and three or four inches at thirty feet. were taken out. and used in building the rafts of square timber. These were known as Truvexse Poles. T l?Au-.n-rlinn 01... ....l. 4.. ,__1.:,u 1- u nuuvvu an LFHVCPSC FOIBS.

I remember the growth of timber which stood on the township of Tossorontio, where pine trees, two to three feet in diameter, and larger, stood so thickly that no, under- growth existed. On ridges there grew al- most as thick in stand of_ red oak. The land, upon which this splendid timber flour- ished is sandy and, when the townships ad- jacent were settled by English, Irish and Scotch emigrants, the pine covered areas in the county were considered worthless and for that reason the timber was left for years in its original state. These pine and -oak lands were offered at fifty cents per acre. with no interested buyers. ~ The adjacent township of Mulmur. which originally was covered with rock elm, ~ uumm -u vvuney umber and Fine Masts In the earlier days great quantities-or waney lumber and masts were taken offl these lands. -Old timers say quite frequent ly as many 8850 teams with sleighs. loaded with w_aney timber and masts, would take" their loads into Angus each day in winter. This waney `timber was conveyed to Tor-I onto by the old Northern Railway and dumped in Toronto bay where it was made" into rafts and floated through Lake On- tario down the St. _Lawrence river to Que- ` bec, at which place it was taken out of the water and gone` over by expert hewers be- fore it was loaded on sailing vessels for v the Old Country markets. i nn f.l \l'-I ninn f\`n:I\n n.`.`.l ~--L--- l"~ " nay, wmcu gave good service.

The tramway passed through the Depew limit but was never used has a log road until the Hamilton`and North Western Railway was built. when having no further use for it as a means of hauling lumber, it was utilized for hauling logs to the mill. The power for the mill was obtained from the Pine river. and having a large pond, the greater portion of the stock was banked during the winter. Timber as large as 12 x 16. 50 to 60 feet long. was sawn in this mill.
