 marked trees as is possible. (1. p., E. s., b. f., Medicine Bow, D2, 1911.) 



(c) We agree to cut all trees marked upon the cutting area, whether 

 merchantable or apparently unmerchantable. (s. p., w. y. p., w. f Sierra 

 D. 5, 1911.) 



(d) Logs will not be allowed to accumulate at the foot of the chute in 

 such a manner as to injure the reproduction of the remaining live stand, 

 (b. b. 1909.) 



(e) It is agreed that as much of the timber at the time of cutting as 

 is merchantable according to this contract and reasonably accessible in 

 the judgment of the Forest officer in charge, will be cut from the area 

 designated, (w. w. p., Coeur d'Alene, D i, 1911.) 



(f) Wherever possible, aspen will be used in road construction and 

 for bridges. If aspen is not accessible, dead or defective pine or spruce 

 will be used. (b. b., 1909.) 



(g) After decision by the Forest officer in charge, that the purchaser has 

 compiled satisfactorily with the cutting regulations as to specific areas, the 

 purchaser shall not be required to move back upon or do additional work 

 upon such areas, (w. y. p., w. f., s. p., c; Tahoe, D 5, 1912.) 



(gi) The plan of logging operations on the respective portions of the 

 sale area shall be approved by the Forest officer in charge when opera- 

 tions are begun on any natural logging area, the cutting on that area shall 

 be fully completed to the satisfaction of the Forest officer in charge before 

 cutting may begin on other areas, unless written permission is given by 

 the Forest officer in charge to begin cutting on a different area, with the 

 understanding that as soon as conditions warrant it cutting will be resumed 

 on the area left incomplete. After decision in writing by the Forest officer 

 in charge that the purchaser has complied satisfactorily with the cutting 

 regulations as to specified areas, the purchaser shall not be required to 

 move back upon or do additional work on such areas 



(h) In order to check the spread of forest tree diseases and to elimin- 

 ate from the forest old snags, which are a menace in the ti-me of fire, we 

 agree to cut all trees or snags marked upon the cutting area, whether 

 merchantable or apparently unmerchantable, (w. y. p., w. f., s. p., c. 

 Tahoe, D 5, 1912.) 



(hi) In order to check the spread of forest tree diseases and to 

 eliminate snags which constitute a fire menace, we agree to cut all trees 

 or snags marked upon the sale area, whether merchantable or apparently 

 unmerchantable. Such trees or snags after felling shall be opened up 

 sufficiently to satisfy the Forest officer in charge of their condition, and 

 any portions thereof which are merchantable in the judgment of the 

 Forest officer in charge shal be removed, scaled and paid for. 



(i) The removal of all species included in this sale shall take place 

 simultaneously, (w. r. c, w. h., Snoqualmie, D 6, 1910.) 



(j) As soon as logging on the whole of any such portion of the area 

 under this agreement as may be tributary to a single landing is com- 

 pleted, and before the logging equipment is removed from such area, final 

 decision as to the compliance with the terms of this contract so far as they 

 apply to such portion of the area, shall immediately be given the purchaser 

 by the officer in charge of the sale. Such decision having been ren- 

 dered, no further utilization of timber on such portion of the area shall 

 be required or further penalties imposed, (w. r. c, w. h., Snoqualmie, 

 D 6, 1 910.)
