 ants in books provided for that purpose. 



22. The timber described in the schedule as being on sees. 23, 24, 

 25, and 26, T. 143 N., E. 31 W., which includes only the down tim- 

 ber on said sections, must be removed prior to October 1, 1910, and 

 the remaining timber prior to July 1, 1911. In the removal of the 

 timber sold hereunder no standing timber shall be cut, except such 

 as may be actually necessary in order to remove the down timber, and 

 then only when approved by the forest supervisor of the Minnesota 

 National Forest, whose decision shall be final in the matter. 



23. The money for the timber cut and scaled during each month 

 shall become due and payable in monthly installments at the end of 

 such month, or oftener, iii the discretion of the superintendent of log- 

 ging, and shall be paid before said logs are removed from the place 

 where banked; provided that no payment will be required until 

 the scale bills for the timber cut on any bid or contract exceed the 

 amount deposited with such bid. The timber may, by permission of 

 the Commissioner of the General Land Office, be removed before the 

 actual payment of the money in all cases where such course is rec- 

 ommended by the superintendent of logging and is approved by the 

 proper Indian agent. If not so paid when due, or within thirtyVlays 

 thereafter, and after written demand from the superintendent of log- 

 ging, the said contract and the money paid thereunder may be de- 

 clared forfeited by the Secretary of the Interior, and the timber may 

 be banked, shipped, and sold by the superintendent, under the direc- 

 tion of the Secretary of the Interior, and the deposit made at time 

 of bid and the net proceeds, after deducting expenses of banking, 

 shipping, and selling, applied to the amount due therefor from such 

 purchaser or logger, and any excess shall be paid to him. If excess 

 be due from the logger after such sale by the Secretary, he shall pay 

 the same upon demand from the superintendent. 



24. The scale bills must be approved by the superintendent of log- 

 ging and such approval confirmed by the superintendent of Leech 

 Lake Agency, Onigum, Minn., after examination thereof and of the 

 check scale, if any, and thereupon the superintendent of logging shall 

 demand payment, and such payment must be made to said superin- 

 tendent, Leech Lake Agency, who shall account therefor to the Com- 

 missioner of Indian Affairs, and also report the several amounts paid 

 to the superintendent of logging and the Commissioner of the General 

 Land Office. 



25. The decision of the superintendent of logging shall be final in 

 the execution of the foregoing rules. 



26. The violation of any of these rules, if persisted in, shall be 

 deemed a sufficient cause for annulling the contract and canceling the 

 sale of the stumpage. In case of damages caused by such violation 

 of the rules and annulment and cancellation of the contract and sale, 

 demand for the amount thereof, after ascertainment and approval by 

 the Secretary of the Interior, shall be made by the superintendent of 

 logging, and the purchaser will be allowed thirty days from such 

 notice within which to pay the amount due.
