four of The Forest Act will, before removing forest products 

 from such lands, proceed as prescribed in the previous paragraph 

 for holders of gratuitous licenses. 



( I ) Forest products for export will be paid for before ship- 

 ment, and the manifest must be presented to the collector of 

 customs at the port of shipment. Any person violating this 

 regulation will be proceeded against under the provisions of 

 section thirty of The Forest Act. 



(m) If at any time the party at interest should desire to 

 detain a portion of a cargo or load of forest products which has ' 

 been manifested, or divert a portion to some point other than 

 that of original destination, the local forest officer will, upon 

 application, make an entry of the facts at the foot of the original 

 manifest, returning same to the party at interest, and issuing 

 him in addition a new manifest to accompany the product 

 detained or diverted. In the case of timber a line will be drawn 

 through the entries on the original manifest of the pieces so 

 detained or diverted. 



(n.) For identification of pieces belonging to different mani- 

 fests, to aid in the recovery of lost timber, and to avoid fraud, 

 the holder of a license will immediately after felling mark every 

 piece of timber with his special mark which must be previously 

 registered at the forest station. This mark will be indicated 

 in the proper column of the manifest. The pieces of timber 

 embraced in a manifest must also be numbered consecutively, 

 beginning with one, and the corresponding numbers must be 

 entered in the manifest under the proper heading. Where two 

 different lots of timber for the same licensee are shipped on the 

 same vessel, the pieces of the second lot must be marked " lA," 

 " 2A," and so forth. 



(o) In all manifests of undersized timber, classified in the 

 official tariff as belonging to the first group, except ebony and 

 lanete ( and camagon when stripped of its bark and sapwood ) , 

 there should appear a statement by a ranger or president of a 

 munieipSlity or settlement as to whether such undersized pieces 

 have been cut from trees of a diameter of forty or more centi- 

 meters as provided in Regulation XX, paragraph ( fc ) . 



(p) Forest officers will, whenever practicable, mark with the 

 official marking hatchet both ends of every log of timber 

 manifested. 



iq) Failure to present to the nearest forest officer manifests 

 of forest products within five days of arrival at destination will, 

 for the purpose of these regulations, be considered unreasonable 

 delay in the making of a report; and failure to deliver or mail 

 receipts of payment to a forest station or to a forest officer 

 within seven days from date of payment will be considered an 

 unreasonable delay in the making of a report. 



(r) Any person found utilizing forest products in violation 

 of section twenty-five or of section thirty of The Forest Act will 

 be directed by the local forest officer to deposit the same with 

 the nearest president of a municipality .or settlement and an 

 order of payment for the same, including the charges and ad- 

 ditional charges provided in section twenty-five of The Forest Act, 

 will be issued to him. Upon presentation of a receipt of payment 

 to the local forest officer, the latter will issue a manifest to the 

 party at interest, which will serve as an order on the municipal 

 president for the release of the products and as an authorization 

 for the party at interest to dispose of them.
