5. WHERE THE SLIDE CUT THROUGH THE FOREST. 

 The lane cut through the standing timber by this slide is about 150 feet wide, and the side lines are as 

 straight as a corps of woodchoppers could have cut them, if the work had been done under the direction 

 of an engineer. The length of this lane is nearly K of a mile. The trees average 12 to 24 inches in 

 diameter, and the trunks are piled along the bank of the creek below, A few will be seen in the fore- 

 ground partially- covered with earth and rocks.
