Makes Fine Lumber

The fine lumber produced by a Redwood sinker at the Albion Lumber Company's mill at Albion, Mendocino County, is a splendid testimonial to the lasting qualities of this wood. The log bore the initials SNW, believed to have stood for Starbird, Norton and Weathe6bee, whose last logging was done in the eighties. The log was mostly submerged not'having lost muCh of its moisture content in the 45 years or more since it was logged. When sawed up it made the best kind of lumber, perfectly sound and apparently of as good a grade as if it had beeq manufactured the year it was cut.
