 $5,000 per year. The manager spends from one-fourth to one-third 

 of his time in the woods. The sahiry of the camp foreman is charged 

 directly to the cost of running the camp; that of the manager, to 

 general expense. No officer of the company other than the manager

In the case of another independent logging operation running four 

 sides, the camp is directly in charge of a foreman who receives $175 

 per month. This foreman has an assistant who receives $125 per 

 month. A logging superintendent, who spends practically all his 

 time in camp, has general charge of the operation, the disposal of the 

 logs, and the purchase of equipment and supplies. The camp office 

 is practically the only office this company has, since all paper work 

 is performed in the camp. This operation has a general manager, 

 who, having a number of interests, does not give much attention to 

 the affairs of the company. His salary is $1,000 per year. The 

 salaries of the superintendent, foreman, assistant foreman, and book- 

 keeper are charged as camp expense. 



In the case of another independent logging operation there is no 

 general expense as far as general superintendence is concerned. A 

 logging superintendent, who spends practicallj'^ all of his time in 

 camp, directs the operation. He is assisted by a felling and bucking 

 foreman, a logging foreman, and a railroad foreman. These three 

 men are directly responsible to the superintendent. The felling and 

 bucking foreman directs the felling and bucking department; the 

 logging foreman, the yarding and loading departments; and the 

 railroad foreman, the construction and maintenance of the railroad. 

 The superintendent has direct charge of the operation of the train. 

 The superintendent receives $4,000 per year ; the felling and bucking 

 foreman, $125 per month; the logging foreman, $150 per month: and 

 the railroad foreman. $125 per month. The salaries of the manager 

 and foremen, as well as the salaries of the bookkeeper and scaler, are 

 charged under the heading " Camp Expense." The company has 

 no office other than that in the woods, and pays no salaries other than 

 those mentioned. 



In the case of an operation that both logs and manufactures, the 

 logging camp is directly in charge of a camp foreman. This opera- 

 tion has an output of about 125,000 feet per day. A manager, who 

 has general supervision of both the logging and manufacturing opera- 

 tions, receives $5,000 per year, one-half of which is charged against 

 the logging.
