Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We feel constrained by onr statutes to hold that the lien upon saw logs cannot be so extended as to reach the lumber manufactured therefrom. . . . If it is held that this section applied to labor in securing the logs, and also to that done in transforming them into lumber, much uncertainty would arise in the determination of the respective rights of the lien claimants, and the difficulty of enforcing the statute, which at best is sufficiently great, would be greatly multiplied.””
