Scope and content
A man stands with his arm extended as high as he can, demonstrating the diameter of a massive log. The log is 10 1/2 feet in diameter. The 700 year old tree was cut on St. Paul & Tacoma holdings and shipped to Olympia to be peeled for veneer. Company officials stated that trees of this size were becoming much less common. This was the largest tree seen at the mill in 15 years. (T. Times 10-19-1935, pg. 1)
