Woodpiles along the street are a characteristic of Portland, Oregon. Costs five dollars and fifty cents per cord, and must be hauled thirty-five miles. (Shows homeowner on porch.)

I've seen this photo a few times and at least once with the same caption. It always stirs up questions. What does "must be hauled 35 miles" mean? The wood is cut to about 3' lengths. This seems WAY to large for practical home use. I think in the past I've seen the caption say something to the effect that this type of delivery was a regular occurrence in Portland. Anybody got any incite for me?
