small army post, a building being erected and furnished for 

 each department. There is the eating house, the company 

 store, the sleeping quarters or bunk house, the machine shop 

 the long barn and other outbuildings. 



While conditions are not ideal they are not nearly so bad 

 as is generally supposed. It is to be desired that better bath- 

 ing facilities and, especially more spacious and sanitary bunk 

 houses be provided. Perhaps legislation is needed to improve 

 these two features of the logging camps, and to my mind the 

 bunk house is the more important of the two. There is no 

 reason why every lumberjack cannot have a bath whenever 

 hje wants it now. As far as we have been able to learn, and 

 we have had information from scores of camps throughout 

 the Northern part of the state, there are always plenty of 

 bathtubs in every lumber camp. The conveniences are just 

 as complete and up-to-date as they are in the average small 

 town, where a modern equipped bathroom is a luxury. There 

 is plenty of warm water, room and heat, and if the lumber- 

 jack chooses to go dirty it is largely his own fault.
