FOREST RESERVE MANUAL. 18 



(h) Only so much can be cut as was applied for; and it must 

 be measured, either standing or in the pile, before being 

 hauled away. 



(c) No unmarked live timber can be cut. 



(d) There must be no cutting across the line of the area 

 assigned. Cutting across the line is trespass. 



(e) The rules about cleaning up tops and brush must be 

 obeyed. The cutting area must be left in good, clean condition. 



if) The rules, generally, governing forest reserves niust 

 be observed. 



ig) The wood, timber, or material derived from it is to be 

 used onlj"^ at the place stated in the application. The use of 

 it elsewhere, and especially the sale of it, makes the cutting a 

 trespass, and the applicant becomes liable to suit and is always 

 debarred thereafter from, the privilege of free vse. 



(h) The cutting of the timber by a local mill is permissible; 

 but the sawing must be paid for in cash, and can not he done 

 on shares. Moreover, the sawing and hauling of the lumber 

 must be done in a manner required by the forest officer, and 

 in such way as to enable him to determine whether or not 

 the timber and lumber are really used in the place and manner 

 promi$ed in the application. 



(^) In placing a valuation on timber given under the "free- 

 use " act, $1 per M for timber, green or dry, and 25 cents per 

 cord for fuel wood will be the minimum price considered. 



(k) Applications for "shakes," etc., involving a wasteful 

 use of timber, will be refused wherever a more economical 

 utilization and satisfactory cleaning up of the tops and lops is 

 not guaranteed. « 



10. In case of emergency, where needy persons require 

 immediate relief in the form of a load of dry firewood, the 

 supervisor has authority to grant such privilege without 

 marking or measuring the material beyond assigning to the 

 applicant the particular area where to cut this material; all 

 cases of this kind to appear in the usual monthly report. 



11. The "free-use" permit being considered a very impor- 

 tant one, forest officers will not fail to deal with these cases 

 promptly and justly, and will at all times lend assistance in 

 making out applications and otherwise assisting deserving 

 applicants.
