The log shown in this picture, when cut up, made more than 40,000 shingles! The loading of these logs on to the railroad trucks is, in itself, a delicate and dangerous task. By means of chains the log is drawn up an incline pathway formed of dressed logs, and finally landed in place, when it is secured to the trucks.

So exactly is this carried out that the rooms and their contents look in the pictures like real rooms and real furniture, and do not show how diminutive they are. The Hall Table is of mahogany with Lapis Lazuli top. It is three inches high from the floor. On the backs of the chairs, which are in the style of William & Mary period (end of 17th Century) can be seen the Royal Coat of Arms.

Edelweiss. This white velvety flower is the desire of every tourist and the disaster of some, for it grows in places so steep and difficult that even chamois hunters themselves are shy of seeking it. It does not grow on the lower heights of the Alps but only at altitudes higher than 5,000 to 7,000 feet and therefore its possession is regarded as the "hallmark" of an Alpine Climber.

The Aberdeen Terrier is a variety of the ordinary Scotch Terrier, but somewhat smaller in size. The head is large in proportion to the body, and the coat is long and rough. Aberdeen Terriers are very intelligent dogs and, perhaps, their chief recommendation, they are very faithful and devoted to their owner. Black and brindle is their normal colour, though occasionally white specimens are bred

On the backs of the chairs, which are in the style of the William & Mary period (end of 17th Century) can be seen the Royal Coat of Arms
