than lose a piece of sound wood 2 to 6 ft. long, often caused by 

 butting. 



5. That Jobbers are topping all logs with saw. We will not 

 receive any logs topped with axe. 



6. See that stumps are cut as close to soil as possible. Any 

 cut at over 2 ft. from ground, you will keep account of, giving 

 name of Sub-Jobber, and quantity of such stumps found. 



7. In burnt and other territory, all Spruce and Balsam timber 

 that is sound and dry, you will have cut clean, as small as 4" in 

 diameter at small end, by 13^ ft. ; Tamarac and Pine not less 

 than 9" at small end, by 13^ ft. 



8. Any Pine logs that Jobbers are liable to leave in woods on 

 account of small rot in butt, which you notice Jobber does not 

 haul, and that in your estimation there is sufficient good Pine 

 timber in said log to warrant its hauling, and Company's ex- 

 penses on same, — you will measure said log, advise the Com- 

 pany and also the Culler. Also see that Pine trees are felled in 

 operations, especially in Croche territory — many such trees were 

 left last winter, Jobbers giving for excuse that timber was too 

 large and heavy. 



9. You will have a Culler's stamp, and when examining logs 

 in skidways, we want you to stamp them over, giving each log 

 several good marks. See that Jobber has a good square sharp 

 L. P. stamp, and not one all worn, with part of L. and P. broken 

 off. Also do not fail to pay particular attention to the bark- 

 marks by Choppers — have them long and wide enough in the 

 wood to make them plainly seen. 



10. You will measure length of logs in woods when Jobbers 

 are cutting. This last winter a good percentage of our logs 

 measured anyway from 12 to 13 feet 5 inches. We want logs 

 13^ ft. long. Should you find any shorter than 13-Jft., mark 

 length in blue pencil, so as Culler will notice when culling same. 



11. You will furnish the Head Office and District Agent with 

 a weekly report of your work, giving Subs' and Jobbers' names 

 and location ; and give full details of complaints against Jobbers 

 in accordance with numbers on above instruction sheet, giving 

 quantity in all cases. 



12. While passing through some creeks where you find L. P. 

 logs wintering over, you will stamp over all you can find. 



13. When deep snow came last spring, Jobbers in Croche dis- 

 trict felled two small trees to prevent log tree they were cutting 

 from sinking deep in the snow. We do not wish this waste re- 

 peated and call your attention to same, so that you may warn Job- 

 bers who may be intending doing this same kind of work this 

 season. 



14. Warn Jobbers not to cut good seed trees, bearing cones, 

 which you will blaze special. Where several such trees are close 

 together, all but one may be cut.
