Description: This landing of 16-foot logs on the Little Tobique River just below Lake Nictau is being dismantled during annual spring drive down the river to the Fraser Companies Limited Sawmill in Plaster Rock, N. B., some 60 miles away. In the background, the river is jammed with logs flowing from upstream. They will be freed when the stack of logs in the centre rear is pried loose.
