The cost of upkeep ranges from 8 to 12 cents per 1,000. TRUCK HAULING WITH TRACTION ENGINES. Truck hauling with traction engines is used at some small circularmills and at one single-band mill in this region. It does not requireany outlay for track, but this is often more than offset by the im-possibility of using the engines in wet weather. A rainy sunimerseason will raise havoc with such a logging operation. On the whole,tractions are adapted to truck hauls too long xor horses. The roads required are like those used for horse hauling, exceptthat the roadbed is wider. The cost is consequently greater. Upona 20 per cent slope the cost of construction, excepting rockwork, isfrom $625 to $875 per mile. Damp or soft place
