a little additional labor it would be possible to enclose it on the 

 sides and ends. A car barn can be built for $400. 



Corrals for idle animals are enclosed with panels live boards 

 high and 16 feet long which are wired to posts set at proper 

 intervals. The only labor required in moving to a new site is 

 to cut the wire and load the panels on flat cars. 



Car Camps. — Logging camps sometimes consist of a number 

 of box cars fitted up for sleeping quarters, kitchen and dining- 

 room, and ofhce and commissary. They are moved from site to 

 site as the work progresses and placed on a siding at each camp. 

 The entire camp can be moved in a very short time, the men are 

 always near their work, and it is claimed that car camps are more 

 sanitary than frame ones because of their height above ground. 

 Because of the increased investment these camps are not desir- 

 able where families must be housed. 



In an Oregon camp the units are built on 34-foot flat cars and 

 each consists of a superstructure 46 feet long, 14 feet wide and 

 8^ feet high from floor to eaves. Ten cars provide accommoda- 

 tions for eighty men, five cars being used for bunk houses, and 

 one each for kitchen, store room, dining hall, headquarters and 

 commissary, and power and baths. 



Each bunk car accommodates sixteen men and is fitted up 

 with two-storied single bunks provided with springs and mat- 

 tresses. The cars are steam-heated, electric-lighted and afford 

 comfortable quarters for the men, 



A unique departure is the power and bath car which is fitted 

 up with a tub and four shower baths. These are available for 

 the use of the men under suitable regulations. A power plant 

 placed in this car furnishes light for the camp and a boiler 

 furnishes steam heat for the buildings. 



The office, commissary, and foreman's and storekeeper's 

 quarters are placed in a single car, while a storage car holds 

 supplies for the commissary and package goods for the kitchen. 



Running water is provided for the camp whenever a gravity 

 supply is available. 



Floating Camps. — The camps used in the cj^ress region on 

 pullboat operations are built on scows, and are usually two-
