SCALING. 145 
The Minnesota law provides that Scribner’s rule be the only 
legal rule for the survey of logs in this state, and that every log 
shall be surveyed by the largest number of even feet which it 
contains in length over ten feet and under twenty-four feet, and 
all logs of twenty-four feet or more shall be surveyed as two 
logs or more. As to what Scribner’s rule is the law does not 
say, and yet requires it to be posted in the offices of the surveyors 
general of logs and lumber. The following table is a copy of 
Scribner’s rule as used here:
