Really great to see Pat Wilkins. He was a fine newsman on KATU in the 60s and 70s. This was a great story about the lumber flume. Thank you.

"Kant" usually refers to Immanuel Kant, a German philosopher. What the narrator is referring to in this video are "cants." The word "cant" has a lot of definitions, but the one that applies here is "a log with one or more squared sides," which also includes a rough board that hasn't been fully squared up.

The man at the end pulling the logs looks like Fred Frazier. I know he worked there. I took care of him at the nursing home when I was nursing. He was such a special man. I cried so hard when he died.

I point out the remnants of it when I take friends sailing on the Columbia. It's getting hard to see now. I didn't know the term "kant" I called it a timber flume. It had a flat bottom a log flume was V shaped i believe.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. BTW this flume is a kant flume not a log flume as the title states.

They aren't Kants, they're cants. They (never logs) floated down to the Broughton sawmill for resawing and planning. When I was a kid on weekends me and a buddy or two would walk on the walkway (a 2x12) the nine miles up to Willard then hitch hike home (enough walking)

A saltwater above ground canal all the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Huge idea. Like a really big log flume

I remember the one that used to be all broken down between Bingen and somewhere west. I thought it was used for logs.

Is this the flume that Charlie rode in “Charlie, Lonesome Cougar”? The narrator almost sounds like the narrator in the movie!

Yes, the same one.

When was this broadcast? We know a little bit of land through which the flume ran, now gone but for bits of rotting wood.

They don't use them anymore? I just discovered a ton of them in Northern California.

This one was decommissioned in 1986. It is about an hour drive from my home. Not much of it exists now, due to time and mother nature.
