170 PREPARATION AND MANUFACTURE 



such a lien will be lost if the one entitled thereto voluntarily 

 parts with possession. 1 A lien for either skilled or un- 

 skilled labor, or for the furnishing of supplies or money 

 advances in connection with the cutting, hauling or driving 

 of logs may be obtained by contract; 2 but a lien cannot 

 arise in favor of one who was a stranger to a contract with 

 the owner of the logs or timber, 3 or who cut the timber 

 without the consent of the owner. 4 If a contract con- 

 templates a lien, it does not become effective until the ser- 

 vice to be performed has substantially been completed, 5 

 especially if the agreement requires the delivery of the logs 

 or lumber prior to the specified time of payment. 6 



126. Statutory Liens. In many states there are 

 statutes giving a lien on logs or lumber to one who advances 

 money, furnishes supplies, or performs labor in connection 

 with the cutting, hauling, driving, booming or sawing of 

 logs. 7 Some of these laws are very comprehen-
