The arrival of a big crib raft of hardwood logs at Owen Sound a short 

 (ime ago marks an epoch in the transportation of hardwood logs on the 

 '•reat I^jtkes. The big crib, 475 feet long, contained over 5,000 logs, or 

 ;tiiout 500.000 feet board measure. It was built at Beaverstone, on the 

 li'-rth shore, and towed to Owen Sound by tug at an average rate of speed 

 "1 about three and a half miles an hour. Not a log was lost and the 

 raft came through without a mishap. The crib was built up on a base of 

 pine logs, with upright stakes running the full length of either side. 

 These were chained together at the top and at intervals from tbe bottom 

 lii'. making the raft almost storm proof.
