CAMPS. 



TYPES OF CAMPS. 



Both the size and location of logging camps depend upon the type 

 of the operation. In most horse logging operations the camps for 

 the loggers are at the sawmill; but in railroad and traction opera- 

 tions they are placed in the woods along the track and as near the 

 logging as possible. To obviate the necessity of long walk's to work, 

 large logging camps must be moved at intervals of from one to three 

 seasons. For this reason the portable camp is supplanting the old 

 style permanent type which was torn down or abandoned at every 

 move. The old type consisted of large bunk houses, with double 

 tiers of bunks down the sides. The initial cost of such camps is 

 low, but they can not be moved or kept free from vermin, and the 

 men disUke them. 



The portable camp is practically uniform throughout the region. 

 The sleeping quarters are frame cabins 10 by 18 feet or 9 by 22 feet, 

 the former being the usual type on standard gauge operations and 

 the latter on narrow gauge. The sides of these cabins are ordinarily 

 7 or 7-| feet and the roof half pitch. Low-grade lumber is used in 

 their construction. The walls are battened and the roofs double- 

 boarded or covered with tar paper. Two skid timbers about 8 by 10 

 inches are placed lengthwise imder each cabin to serve as a founda- 

 tion and to facilitate moving. Cabins of this kind contain about
