On this little farm I would build a cabin of tamarac logs, with the bark on and the ends sticking out at the corners criss-cross.

Many of the roads leading thereto had been paved with tamarac poles, making what is now known as corduroy roads.

Smooth-plumaged wax-wings are pruning their feathers in the tamarac-trees; and high up over the waters of the bay sails a long-winged fish-hawk, taking an extended and generally liberal view of sundry important matters connected with the fishery question.
