LOGGIFG IlSr THE DOUGLAS FIR REGION. 



55 



As to size, the timber could be classified as a mixture of old and ' 

 second-growth stands. It was cutting out about 50,000 feet per 

 acre, as follows: Douglas fir, 50 per cent; cedar, 45 per cent; hem- 

 lock, 5 per cent. The logs averaged about 36 feet in length and 

 1,000 feet in volume. 



The labor cost per thousand feet was $0,717 for felling and buck- 

 ing in 1912 and $0,644 for felling and bucking in 1911. The lower 

 cost in 1911 was no doubt largely due to the fact that in this year 

 the ground Avas more level and the percentage of cedar a little less. 



In Table 7 are given the costs of felling and bucking at several 

 camps in the region. For the most part they represent averages 

 for a year or more.
