A section of a very interesting high pressure WOOD pipeline built to carry water from a dam up stream to a hydro power station that powered Mackay, ID over a hundred years ago. Supposedly built by Chinese laborers in about a year. It appeared to be made in 10 foot long sections like looked like straight whiskey barrels wrapped in steel wire and connected together and sealed end-to-end.
