especially In the San Joaquin country. It IB therefore 

 very evident that if we are going to sell much timber 

 in this district we must count on the purchasers 

 putting in a good deal of money in transportation, and 

 the purchasers are not \7illing to put in thla ? amount 

 of money without a contract larger than five years. We 

 naturally had to consider the advisability of granting 

 longer than five year contracts. In considering that 

 we found that in order to derive the full value "of the 

 timber at each year of the period or during each five 

 year period re had to re-adjust the stumpage rates, so 

 we are vx>rlcing and negotiating with the several purchasers 

 mentioned 1 to devise a scheme for readjustment of the 

 stumparje rates every five years.
