Der in this country that has large
quantities of brush should not be dis

Il ran into small job in the
neighborhood of Cloquet. There are
a great many knolls around there.
This jobber was handling bunch of
timber on a knoll that was so steep
that the logs had to be rolled Off.
They had cut and burned the brush
as the work proceeded and it was in
good shape for fire protection. I
asked the contractor the cost and he
said it actually did not cost him any
thing. He said it cost him a little
something to pile the brush and burn
it, but the job was such that he had
to roll the logs off and leaving the

Mr.. c. e. Barton: con the reser-
vation they have compelled us to
burn the brush as we go along. At
first, we were simply piling it as we
went along and that cost us thirty
five cents. The last year we were on
the reservation, it cost seventy-f1ve
cents to burn the brush. We had a
different stand of timber then. The
example Mr.. Cary spoke of, / know
about, and that is not an average
example at all. l don't think it is
possible to figure it right. You can
figure the cost of the extra swamper,
but sometimes you have to put on
two swampers. At the time we were
compelled to pile the brush it cost
us from thirty-five to sixty cents,
and after that it cost us from sixty
to seventy-five cents.
"Our IDEAS probably diner from the
foresters. We think that it is not

burn the brush as we proceed in
