$7.50 per M. feet for both grades of sawed lumber piled at the 

 mill. The company is able to dispose of a limited amount of 

 lumber for local consumption at $15.00 per M. feet, E. M., for 

 No. I and $8.00 per M. feet for the shipping culls. The re- 

 mainder will have to be hauled 30 miles over rough roads to the 

 railroad at a cost of $6.50 per M. No further consideration 

 will be made of the side lumber since no data is available as to 

 amount that will be disposed of locally and the amount to be 

 hauled to the railroad, but it is thought that the company makes 

 very little profit on the side lumber. 



About 65% of the ties' are cut 7 inches by 9 inches, 8 feet 

 long; 25% 7 inches by 8 inches, 8 feet long; 10% 6 inches by 

 8 inches, 8 feet long. With the above percentages and allow- 

 ing 24 7x9's, 27 7x8's and 32 6x8's per M. feet, B. M., the 

 average is 25 ties per M. feet. The contractor receives $6.00 

 per M. feet, B. M. for the ties at the mill, or 24 cents per tie.
