LOGGING IN 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 $0,614 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 was 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.
