 markets in every way. 



These difficulties show that besides 

 marking the timber for cutting we rr. -: 

 reorganize our logging operations if we 



:plish the best rest: 

 Under the present system all the har- 



Jting is done by poorly paid men. 

 Perhaps the lumber companies of the 

 past have been right in this policy, for 

 npage wa- : aluable enough and 

 labor was cheap enough so that a little 

 waste did not count.

- in value the 

 camp boss will be a very different c". 



He will be a man with the f or- 

 es: r point of view, having as much 

 interest in the future crop of timber - 

 in the present cut and will know what 

 should be : : r the next crop. 



i. He will locate his roads on 



dennte grades with definite knowledge 

 : what grade gets logs onto the yards 

 cheapest with the least wear and tear 

 on the teams. These roads will be lo- 

 cated as much in reference to the tim- 

 ber that is being left as I .hat which 

 is being taken. 



Third. This new type of boss will 

 be an expert in even- part of the opera- 

 tion, not only knowing all the old effi- 

 cient methods but continually thinking 

 out and learning from other people new 

 and better v% : - : '. ing things. He 

 will not be tied down by tradition r 

 precedent. 



rth. This man will improve the 

 character of his help b :: for e~- 



cie: 



e lum: ban of the 



future must be run on a financial bi 

 and the boss must know how much a 

 : ~jad ought to cost and 

 if the st for a given week runs too 

 high, he is going to know the reason.
