River Log Drive Ends In Dramatic Rescue
A log drive on a northern Ontario river tests crews as six men and Bryan Moloney battle a roaring jam. Jimmy Powers dives from the jam to a free log and is swept downstream while the rest ride the current aboard logs. The drive continues with moving camps and night fires as crews separate jams and await the next shift. Other notes mention mining law talks, an asphalt plant for Toronto, funds for a medical college, and a stock increase for British America Assurance Co.
