the average contents thereof, after which they will be counted using 

 the average so obtained to determine their board measure volume. 

 In the case of material less than 6 inches in diameter at the small end, 

 the board measured volume will be determined as agreed with the For- 

 est officer. (1. p., Deerlodge, D i, 1911.) 



(d) The class of products which shall be manufactured from the tim- 

 ber involved in this contract shall be optional in the judgment of the 

 purchaser, (c, Pend oreille, D i, 1911). 



(e) The standard sizes for cedar posts will be considered as a length 

 of 8 feet and a maximum perimeter or circumference of 24 inches at 

 the small end. Posts of greater size may be made, but shall be paid 

 for at following prices : Split posts, 9 to 12 feet long and up to 24 

 inches in circumference, J/2C each. Poles below six inches in diameter 

 at the small end and 26 feet in length or shorter may be made at the 

 option of the purchaser, but will be scaled as round posts and paid 

 for at the rate of ic for every 8 linear feet, (c, Pend oreille, D i, 

 1911). 



(f) When desired, western red cedar may be cut into shingle bolts 

 and when it cannot be otherwise utilized, must be so removed. Timber 

 so cut shall be paid for at the contract price for western red cedar 

 logs, and in so doing, one cord of standard shingle bolts 52 inches long 

 shall be counted as equivalent to 600 board feet. Bolts cut longer 

 than 52 inches shall be rated at an increase in the number of board 

 feet per cord proportionate to the increase in length, (d. f., w. r. c, w. 

 h., Snoqualmie, 1911). 



(g) Shingle bolts shall be counted as many to the cord as the judg- 

 ment of the Forest officer in charge may determine upon as a fair 

 count. In case of a disagreement as to what constitutes a fair count, 

 the purchaser may be required to pile shingle bolts for measurement, 

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



(h) The scaling of logs and the counting of shingle bolts shall be done 

 at the landing or wherever the Forest officers find most practicable

(i) The timber will be scaled by the Scribner rule. Decimal C, by

 lengths of all logs will be 16 feet; greater lengths will be scaled as two 

 or more logs. Upon all logs 36 inches in diameter and under 4 inches, 

 and upon all logs above 36 inches in diameter, 6 inches additional 

 length will be allowed for trimming. Logs overrunning more than the 

 specified length shall be scaled as if 2 feet longer, (w. y. p., w. f., s. p., c, 

 Tahoe, D 5, 1912). 



(']) Cordwood will be compactly piled in the woods for scaling and 



will not be scaled until a sufficient amount (not less than 



cords) has been cut and piled, (b. b., 1919). 



(k) The length of all logs shall be marked on the small end with 

 erayon and all logs shall be skidded and piled in skidways with the small 

 ends easily accessible for scaling, (a. f., E. s., Battlement, D 2, 191 1). 



(1) Four inch and five inch stulls, sixteen feet long, will be counted 

 as 10 feet B. M., and larger dimensions will be scaled by the Decimal
