posal of the log output, is in the hands of a manager who receives 
$5,000 per year. The manager spends from one-fourth to one-third 
of his time in the woods. The salary 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 
receives a salary. The help at the head office, other than the manager, 
consists of a bookkeeper and office boy. 
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 practically 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.
