(c) This contract shall be void if the Railway Company fails to con- 

 struct a satisfactory and usable spur or side track at or near the location

 and at least 100 feet of serviceable i-inch hose, with five 12-quart pails,

 sidered necessary by him, the rights of way of such roads shall be cleared 

 and kept free from combustible material for a distance of 50 feet on each 

 side of the center line of the track and when merchantable the timber cut 

 in connection with such clearing shall be removed, scaled and paid for 

 at the rates mentioned in the agreement that unless such roads are electri- 

 fied, oil will be used exclusively for fuel ; that Forest officers when trav- 

 eling on official business, and fire fighters shall be transported free of 

 charge on all trains of the main line south of Snowflake, Arizona, or 

 any branch line of the railway constructed in connection with this sale 

 and when necessary, in order to prevent great destruction, special train 

 service will be rendered such Forest officers and fire fighters free of 

 charge, except as provided for in clause 15. (w. y. p., Sitgreaves-Apache,
