The first task of the forester, in beginning the management of a forest property, is to provide cheap and efficient means of trans- portation for the removal of a bulky crop, of which much is inferior, and if possible to so arrange this harvest that it may be made gradually and continually, logging over the same area for a number of years. Here, in the harvest, logger and forester have similar, yet not identical interests, for the logger lacks the requirement of logging over the same area gradually and continually, of having to remove cordwood, weeds and debris, of caring for the young aftergrowth. Never- theless, the forester must natur- ally do much the same as the lumberman, and utilize the engi- neering skill which has been de- veloped in the logging business. According to the size and loca- tion of his property and the working capital at his disposal, he will resort to old fashioned methods of logging—skidding the logs by horses or mules to skidways, and hauling them on wagons or with sleds on ice roads to the landings; or using lumber slides and water flumes to bring the material either to rivers, which he may have to dam and regulate in their course in order to float and drive the softwoods, or to rail if hardwoods ; or else he may benefit from the development of steam logging devices in con- nection with steam railroads. Whether the transportation is by rail or water, or by sled or wagon, the locat- ing of the roads is one of the most important functions of the logger. Be it that temporary winter roads or permanent summer roads are to be used, a well planned system of main roads and branches must be located. So important, for financial reasons, is the qu
