■ Note. — The purchaser shall not be bound to cut timber which may die 

 after the date of sale, or to dispose of unsound material which was sound 

 at that time; unless it is shown that reasonable diligence on his part would 

 have prevented the loss. 



If the applicant agrees to the conditions of cutting, as explained to him 

 by the head ranger or other forest officer who has made the preliminary 

 examination, such officer must at once prepare, upon the proper blank 

 form, a report embodying a description oi the tract in question, an esti- 

 mate of the timber upon it, and his recommendations regarding the pro- 

 posed sale or permit. The application will not be considered unless 

 accompanied by this report, and in most cases it will be desirable to defer 

 filling that portion of the application blank devoted to the amount and 

 location ot the desired timber until the forest officer has completed his 

 examination and estimate. With this definite information, the applicant 

 can state exactly the amount and situation of the timber, make his offer 

 of price, and sign the application.
