A Forester's Work in a Northern Forest. n 



you are Government Officers, responsible for the execution of 

 these laws. 



Reports: 



Reports must be made monthly and must contain a detailed 

 record showing the following : 



Weather ; where camped ; route followed ; persons seen 

 (always ask the names and addresses of persons going into the 

 woods) ; condition of the woods- wet, dry, etc.; condition of the 

 rivers — high or low. 



Special reports must be made in case of fires, no matter whether 

 they are large or small. Give the following data : 



When first seen; how started; when; by whom; time re- 

 quired to go to the fire ; means used in extinguishing it ; time re- 

 quired to put it out ; assistance, if any ; names, addresses and 

 time spent by each man; area burned; timber burned; say 

 whether top fire, ground fire or brush fire; and whether trees 

 have been killed or only scorched. 



Other Work: 



When weather is wet, or there is no danger of fire, you will 

 be expected to cut trails and cruise or make reports and forest 

 studies. Should a river drive come into your territory, watch to 

 see if the men are careless with their fires, smudges, matches, etc. 

 Report any carelessness at once to the Foreman of the drive in 

 writing, sending duplicate report as soon as possible to the office. 



Watch the limits of other Companies and report if they have 

 Rangers out, giving their names. Should any Company not 

 have Rangers on duty, report the fact at the first opportunity. 



Instructions to Woods Inspectors. 



You will look after N. N. and his Sub Contractors' territory, 

 and give all your attention to the following : 



i. That jobbers do not chop any White Spruce trees under n" 

 on stump, Balsam trees under 9", and Black Spruce under 7". 



2. That no tree-tops be left in woods that would measure 4" and 

 up in diameter at small end, by 13^ ft. long, in either Spruce or 

 Balsam. 



3. It is to the Company's interest that no Balsam or Spruce 

 wood fit for pulp be wasted in either any felled trees, or any 

 knocked down by felling larger trees. Even though there would 

 be some loss in the log, this loss can be fairly deducted by Culler. 

 Trees that break in felling must be got out, and should Jobber 

 fail to do so, you will report number of trees thus left and con- 

 tents in feet Board Measure. 



4. That Jobbers do not butt Spruce or Balsam trees too much, 

 and leave any sound wood laying in the woods. We would 

 rather have a three inch loss in center of a fair sized Spruce log,
