officer in charge of the sale ; as a matter of fact if stumps are "cut 

 low enough to include their whole merchantable contents" few ex- 

 ceptions would actually be made — practically none in D 3. (b) 

 may be used where there are very small poles to be cut as well as 

 large trees. The last sentence in (c) is really superfluous. 



SPECIAL FORMS OF BRUSH AND DEBRIS DISPOSAL. 



2^. (a) The purchaser will burn the slash at such times and under 

 such conditions as the Forest officer in charge may prescribe. (To be 

 inserted in sales where it is safe and practicable for the purchaser to 

 burn slashings, particularly where the season permits burning slash as 

 it is cut.) (M.) 



(ai) We will furnish a sufficient number of men yearly free of charge 

 for a sufficient period, as determined by the Forest officer in charge, to 

 burn all brush and debris resulting from this sale; such brush and debris 

 to be burned at such times and in such manner as the Forest officer in 

 charge shall prescribe. 



(b) Tops will be lopped and all brush and other debris made in the 

 logging operation shall be piled in high compact piles, occupying the least 

 possible space within a strip of at least 100 yards wide adjacent to the 

 exterior boundaries of any body of green timber within sale area, pro- 

 vided that the width of this strip may be varied but in no case shall 

 exceed 100 yards wide, if in the judgment of the Forest officer a narrower 

 strip will be sufficient safeguard to prevent damage or destruction of green 

 timber in disposing of the brush from the cut over area, and shall be 

 burned if piling and burning is considered advisable by the Forest officer 

 in charge. All tops will be lopped clear of brush on the area included in 

 this sale other than the 100 yard strip above described, (w. w. p., Coeur 

 d'Alene, Di, 1911.) 



(c) If required by the Forest officers, we agree in lieu of piling brush, 

 to lop the limbs and scatter all the brush as designated by the Forest 

 officers in charge, (w. y. p., Coconino, D3, 1910.) 



(d) All brush and other debris made in the logging operations shall 

 be piled in compact piles or in windrows and occupy the least possible 

 space. The piles shall be placed at least 25 feet from the edge of the 

 alternate strips left and shall be burned by me at such times as directed 

 by the Forest officer in charge, (w. w. p., D. f., w. h., w. i., Coeur 

 d'Alene, Di, Di, 1910.) 



(e) Tops will be lopped and all brush piled compactly at a safe distance 

 from the living trees, or otherwise disposed of, as directed by the Forest 

 officers. On an area of 100 acres, to be prescribed by the Forest officer, 

 the brush is to be burned in compact piles as logging proceeds, or if this, 

 in the judgment of the Forest officer, proves impracticable or likely to cost 

 more than a sum equal to a levy of loc per M. on all the saw logs cut 

 under this contract, there is to be piled in compact piles, as directed by 

 the Forest officer, so much of the brush as may be so handled at a cost 

 of exceeding that sum. The company agrees to burn the brush on areas 

 outside of the 100 acres referred to above, at such times and in such man- 

 ner as directed by the Forest officer in charge, (w. w. p., Kaniksu, Di, 



(f) So far as is reasonable, all parts of the logging operations shall 

 keep pace with one another, and in no instance shall the brush 

 disposal be allowed to fall behind the cutting, except with the 

 written consent of the Forest Supervisor which may be given when the 

 depth of snow or other adequate reasons make brush disposal impossible. 

 When the" operation on any particular portion of the sale area is com-
