NATIONAL FOREST MANUAL TIMBER SALES. 43 



the timber is intended for the use of the corporation and not his 

 individual use. 



The preceding discussion and the need of any of the following 

 s eciai clauses for s P ec i a l clauses will be carefully considered in the 

 applications and con- preparation of the application. Necessary modifica- 

 tions will be made in the clauses given which supple- 

 ment those printed on Form 202 : 



(1) Both marked and dead trees which are considered a fire menace by the Forest 

 officer in charge will be felled, but only such portions of them as are merchantable 

 under the terms of this contract will be logged and paid for; this does not include 

 trees or stubs too short or small to be merchantable under the contract. 



(2) We agree, when called upon by the Forest officer in charge, to furnish a number 

 of men, sufficient in the judgment of the Forest supervisor, up to the number of our 

 entire logging crew, to burn the brush and d6bris resulting from the cutting, under 

 the supervision of the Forest officer. 



(3) A fire line having a width of not less than feet shall be cleared by the 



purchaser of all inflammable material, except stumps, whenever required by the 

 Forest officer, along the boundaries of the cutting area and around groups-of seed trees; 

 such fire lines shall be constructed in a manner that will be satisfactory to the Forest 

 officer. 



(4) All engines and locomotives not burning oil for fuel used in logging on the 

 National Forest shall be equipped with spark arresters that are satisfactory to the 

 Forest officer in charge. 



(5) 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.] 



(6) All donkey or other steam-power engines not burning oil for fuel shall be 

 equipped with a spark arrester satisfactory to the Forest officer, a steam pump, 200 

 feet of serviceable 1-inch hose, 6 buckets, and a constant supply of the equivalent of 

 6 barrels of water; all such equipment to be suitable and available for fire-fighting 

 purposes. 



(7) The maximum scaling length of all logs will be 16 feet; greater lengths will be 

 scaled as two or more logs. Upon all logs 3 inches additional length will be allowed 

 for trimming; logs overrunning the specified length will be scaled as 2 feet longer. 

 [Insert in all sales including saw timber, except where other specific terms are agreed 

 upon. A greater overrun may be allowed when necessary in sales of large timber.] 



(8) Scaling will be done as often as practicable in the judgment of the Forest officer 

 while cutting is in progress, and copies or abstracts of the scale reports will be fur- 

 nished to the purchaser after they have been approved by the supervisor. 



(9) All cordwood material will be piled in compact even stacks for measurement, 

 as directed by the Forest officer. 



(10) No timber fit for saw, mining, or tie timber or posts, in the judgment of the 

 Forest officer, will be cut into cordwood. 



(11) All hewn ties whose widest diameter inside the bark at the small end exceeds 



inches and all with visible defect will be scaled as saw logs. The scaling 



diameter will be the widest measurement at the small end of the tie. Small hewn 

 ties which are sound will be counted as to the M feet b. m. 



(12) All marked or dead trees which contain one or more merchantable logs shall 



be cut. All logs that will saw out per cent of merchantable lumber shall be 



considered merchantable under the terms of this contract. (The per cent depending 

 upon character of material and local market conditions. See discussion under "Mer- 

 chantable material" (p. 52).) 



(13) Tops will be used for mining timbers, cross-ties, posts and cordwood whenever 

 possible. 



(14) If necessary, in the judgment of the Forest officer, exceptions in the height to 

 which stumps are to be cut may be made in the case of swell butted, fire scarred, or 

 otherwise defective trees; the stumps, however, will be cut low enough to include 

 their whole merchantable contents. 



(15) Logs shall be decked or piled for scaling at places agreed upon with the Forest 

 officer, with ends even on one side of the skidway or pile, and the length shall be 

 marked on the small or scaling end of each log by the purchaser. Logs of different 

 species or value shall, if required by the Forest officer, be decked or piled in separate 

 piles.
