Cost of Putting Lumber on the Market. 
Most of the timber cut in Tompkins County is sawed 
up into stock lumber by portable sawmills. The lumber 
then has to be hauled to market. The distance to market 
varies greatly, but ordinarily it is from two to six miles. 
The estimated cost of cutting the timber, sawing and 
delivering to market is as follows ;: 
Cutting (logs) per thousand feet --------- $ .75 
Skidding to mill " 8 fo wee eee warm 2.00
