Logging in the 1920s

I would love an ID on this one!

These would have been small logs in those days. They are tied down by a single chain, as far as I can tell. Although conditions are immeasurably better, now, logging remains the most deadly job in the United States. Photo from the Collier Park Logging Museum, Chiloquin, Oregon.

I thought the same thing! Also, I wonder how the trucks kept from tipping over the edge.

Belated thanks! Maybe I'm nuts, but it looks a bit like the classic Ford script to me when enlarged. Right, these guys worked every day like there was no tomorrow and for some, there wasn't. I can't even imagine this kind of crazy road - and load!
