Two photos log drivers riding logs downriver, Foleyet Ontario c.1930

Two photos showing log drivers at work on a lumber logjam on a river. Each man has a long metal pole to maneuver the logs and undo any jams as they walk over the tops of the logs.

While the back of the photos it says “Follete” I believe it is much more likely that it is Foleyet in Northern Ontario, west of Timmins.

Comes from the estate of a French collector who died in 1940s.

Foleyet is an unincorporated community in the Unorganized North Part of Sudbury District in Northeastern Ontario, Canada, midway between Chapleau and Timmins on Highway 101. The town was created during the construction of the Canadian Northern Railway (CNR) through the area in the early years of the 20th century.

Located about midway between Capreol and Hornepayne, Foleyet was established as a divisional point, for changing train crews and servicing rolling stock, and there was with a large railway roundhouse as well.

The town started with 15 houses. The Canadian Northern Railway built a large sawmill, west of the station, equipped with a pulp barker, planing mill, and a powerhouse. This mill, although owned by the railway, operated under the name Eastern Lands Division. Lumber was sold wholesale to railway employees, for home construction. A lumber yard was also established at Capreol. The Eastern Lands Co. built their main office here. They cut white pine, red pine, spruce pulp logs, and jack pine axe ties.
