The Pine River Lumber Company in Little Falls had a specific bullseye logo that informed workers what company it belonged to.
Lumberjacks carved their initials in each log to show for their work, as they were paid per log.
“The log made its way home,” said Dennis Dolan, chairman of the Linden Hill Grounds Committee in Little Falls.
About a month ago, Jeff Rustad of Little Falls found a 12- to 14-foot log in the Mississippi River just south of the Highway 10 bridge in Little Falls. It had the distinct imprint of the bullseye logo that the Pine Tree Lumber Company in Little Falls used 100 years ago.
