| Title | Log pond, North Bend, ca. 1905 |
| Photographer | Siegrist |
| Date | ca. 1905 |
| Caption | In 1907, about 400 people lived in North Bend. Most were employed in logging or lumber milling. The lumber was shipped to market over a branch line of the Northern Pacific Railroad. The local shingle mill made most of the wooden pipe used in Seattle's Cedar River water supply line.
This photographic postcard, probably made between 1907 and 1912, shows a boomman standing on a huge log at the edge of the North Bend Lumber Company's log pond. He uses his long pole to sort logs in the pond and direct them towards the sawmill. |
