9. THE LUMBERMAN 



1. Importance : The use of wood has been necessary in all ages for 

 the welfare of the human race. The lumberman produces tim- 

 ber from the forest, for the erection of dwellings and other 

 structures, for ship building, furniture manufacturing, and a 

 thousand other purposes. Lumbering has always been one of 

 our basic industries, and in the number of its workers, over 

 eight hundred thousand, it is surpassed only by farming, rail- 

 roading, and mining. 



2. Work done: Studying and protecting forests, deciding upon 

 methods of cutting out timber, road building, camp building, 

 scaling or measuring standing timber and lumber, slashing or 

 clearing out underbush, chopping, sawing, and piling lumber, 

 building log slides, dams, and flumes, river driving, saw-milling, 

 selling lumber and its milled products. 



3. Advantages: Life in the forest and in the open; employment 

 in a great staple industry; good profits under favorable con- 

 ditions; the fact that the lumberman may run a saw mill, and 

 thus realize more upon his lumber; the use of portable mills, 

 which reduce costs of handling lumber and lengthen the work-
