Today there are - eome log camps built, but most of them are frame buildings sealed with tar paper. They are comfortable In summer and winter. Id the model camps of Michigan, for instance, the buildings are lighted with electric light, there are bnth rooms, and every man has a comfortable bed instead of bunks filled with pine boughs or hay. Tears ago the lumber; men applied efficiency methods, to the science of - lumbering, and they saw their best men would not slow up if they got the best possible rest at night The men are also furnished with books and current magazines; their meals are prepared by cooks who know their business, of a sufficient variety to tempt even the discriminating appetite of the city dweller. The jacks of Michigan are picked men. They form a most efficient body of workers, for no man gets a chance unless be has proven in the hardest possible scfiooi his ability to get 60 minutes of unremitting toll into an hour, to stand great extremes of temperature, and to muster the science of "falling" trees so they will not damage other trees, block roads, crush bark, or shoot down mountain sides.

There are two methods nf felling trees: with the ax alnoe, or with the ax and crosscut machines for fellsaw. Power-drive- n ing trees have been Invented, but the trouble lies In transporting tbem to the spot herc the work Is to be done, through heavy undcrbrosb or for a long distance over uneven ground.

There la no more Interesting operation In the woods than the felling of If the a tree by expert Inmber-Jncktree is to be felled with the cross-cu- t - -- hand-tools- saw, the first step is to cut u notch with the ax on that side of the tree looking In the direction in which It Is desired to have It full. Tills notch is the under surface being horizontal and the upper at ait angle of A5 degrees. This notch serves two purposes; It directs the fall of th( tree and also prevents bad splitting of the bole. After the notch has been made the cutting with the snw Is started on the opposite side of the tree and a few inches higher than the horizontal sur- face f the notch. Soon the saw has burled itself In the tree; then the wedges come Into use. They are driven into the cut, beck f the saw, thus preventing the weight of the tree from falling on the saw and also helping to direct the fall. Usually the tree begins to fall just before the cut from the snw has met the notch on the opiHwIte side, and while part of the hole Is still Intact. When this point Is reached, the Jacks who are doing the felling are on the nlert, since It Is necessary for there to stay long enough to make certain that the tree will fall, and at the same time allow themselves a few seconds In which to make their getaway with wedge-shape- - chii-Wren- 's - .- ii LZ.
