We own, however, five million on the Cass Branch which we would like to log on contract.

Would you care to take the job ?" "How much a thousand do you give ?" asked Radway.
"Four dollars," replied the lumberman.
"I'll look at it," replied the jobber.
So Radway got the "descriptions" and a little map divided into townships, sections, and quarter sections; and went out to look at it.
He searched until he found a "blaze" on a tree, the marking on which indicated it as the corner of a section.

From this corner the boundary lines were blazed at right angles in either direction.

Radway followed the blazed lines.

Thus he was able accurately to locate isolated "forties" (forty acres), "eighties," quarter sections, and sections in a primeval wilderness.
