In our region where we log the drivable soft woods, the problem resolves itself into what market can be found for the hard woods capable of being turned into lumber, bobbins and novelties of all kind. Can we find a manufacturer who will use our rock maple for shoe lasts? Or one who will use our white birch for tooth picks, spool wood, or peg wood? Can we find a jobber to cut white ash for axe-handles or shovel- handles ; a tannery using hemlock bark; soda or excelsior mills using poplar wood? Can we sell cord wood to the neighboring villages at a profit? A\"ill it pay to put in alco- hol plants or charcoal burners to utilize the limbs and inferior por- tions of the trees ? All of these ques- tions present problems of cost, transportation and marketing too complex to go into here, but a prac- tical knowledge of their possibilities and ability to extract a small profit will make possible the logging of a tract formerly considered merchant- ably inaccessible. JJ\isfe in Lo":^in(^. The next problem presented is the reduction of waste in logging. This necessitates frequent inspections and an inspection report which is sent in each week to the main office by an experienced employee whose sole duty is to travel about among a certain limited number of operations and make sure that the specifica- tions and conditions called for in each jobber's individual contract, are lived up to. Then comes the reduction of waste on the drive. Dynamite is now used on rocks and obstructions in a river before driving commences, instead of on the logs during the progress of the drive. This avoids a large breakage. A stream proper- ly improved will have one or many storage dams and all of the larger. Mr. Charles Lathrop Pack, of Lake- wood, , a
