XI, fig. 2, itwould yield only standards, a loss of .07 of a standard per tree. Ifwe assume that the total merchantable stand of 328 287 standards is con-tained in 260 545 trees with an average contents of standards per treeif cut with the saw, then a loss of .07 standards per tree by chopping wouldmean a total loss of 18238 standards for the whole tract.

At 50 centsper standard this loss would reach $9 119. A greater number of cuts, madeby cutting the timber in shorter lengths, would increase the loss propor-tionately. It is the usual custom in cutting Spruce logs intended for pulp-woodto cut them 14 feet 4 inches long. Each log then makes seven 2-footlengths of pulp-wood, when cut up before rossing. The four additionalinches are to cover the necessary loss in cutting up and in trimming off thebattered, discolored, and damaged ends of the logs, caused by driving them PLATE Fig. i.—VIEW OF PROPOSED LOCATION FOR DAM FROM ORIGINAL BRIDGE PIERS.
