CHAPTER XV
15/17

Care should be exercised in the logging operations not to tear or damage the bark of trunks of standing timber.

If possible, only the trees of unimportant timber species should be cut for making corduroy roads in the forests.

This will be a saving of valuable material.
In lumbering operations as practiced in this country, the logs are usually moved to the sawmills on sleds or by means of logging railroads.

If streams are near by, the logs are run into the water and floated to the mill.

If the current is not swift enough, special dams are built.
