Logging |
Persons, Woody Plants, Trees, Transportation |
William Emery logs in the vicinity of the Pinery. He consistently uses a horse to haul the pulp to central areas from which it is taken to the L'Anse Celotex plant to be manufactured into paper. The area here is thickly wooded and looks to the north and east into the environs of the Huron Mountain country. Other than the Porkies, this region is one of the few in the Upper Peninsula still conceived to be considerably untouched from the point of view of stone or metallic wealth. [Mr. Emery takes a rest on some of the logs that he has harvested.] Scanned: March 10, 2009 |

Bottle Collecting |
Persons, Manners and Customs, Recreation, |
John Lahti holds a Calumet Brewing Company bottle he found near the Sleepy River in the general area about Misery Bay's "long" road to the Lake Superior shore. He located the container in the environs of Elm River Township and regards it highly because Calumet is quite a distance from Toivola by early Calumet brewery days. For some reason or other it appears that several Calumet bottles have come from the Sleepy River area. [Mr. Lahti displays one of the bottles he found.] Scanned: March 9, 2009 |
