is obtained. In great emergencies, when you can not 

 reach a Forest officer and when serious loss would result 

 by waiting for one, take what is actually needed with as 

 little damage as possible, and report to the Ranger after-

Purchase. — If not over $50 worth of material is wanted, 

 consult the nearest Ranger, who will draw up the agree- 

 ment, arrange the terms of payment, designate the tim- 

 ber to be cut, and allow its removal as soon as payment 

 has been made. 



If over $50 worth of material is wanted, arrange the 

 sale with the Supervisor. Consult the nearest Ranger 

 about it and do the business through him whenever it is 

 most convenient to do so; but Rangers can not make 

 sales of over $50 in value; the Supervisor makes them. 

 Most Supervisors can sell up to $500 worth of material 

 without asking advice from "Washington. Some of them 

 can make larger sales. Under any circumstances the 

 papers must always pass through the Supervisor's hands. 

 He is the man to deal with. The purchaser should first 

 locate the timber he wants to buy. After it has been 

 cruised the Supervisor will agree with the purchaser upon 

 the terms of sale. Cutting may begin as soon as the 

 timber is marked for removal and payment has been made 

 as called for. 



Do not begin to cut or remove timber on any sale 

 until permission to do so has been granted by a Forest 

 officer.
