HOW TO GET TIMBER
FROM CARIBOU RESERVE
Farmers and Settlers Living on or Near the Re
serve May Obtain Timber for Use on Their
Ranches at Nominal Cost.

People sometimes gain the i'm
preston that everything the govern
ment does is bound about with re-
strictions and red tape" that
makes 1t almost impossible to do
business with the government" In
almost all cases, the restrictions are
less severe than the popular i'm
preston would indicate.
1t is the purpose of this article to
show how people living on or near
the Caribou forest may obtain timber
with less Inconvenience, in many
cases, than IL the logs or wood were
gotten from private owner. Fur
ther, the prices are low-in fact last
year the material given under free
use amounted to almost twice as
much as all sales, and more than
two-thirds of the sales were made
at rates barely covering the cost of
selling the timber.
Glasses of Timber Business
The needs Of different groups OF
users are met by three classes of per-
mits, as follows:
/. Commercial sales.
2. Sales at Cost.
3. Free use.
This class includes all timber cut
for sale, as lumber, house logs,
posts, or any other forest product
Most timber for use in towns is sol,
at commercial rates, which ar
shown In table below. The rang
ers are authorized to make sales III
to $4,000 worth OF timber. and the,
will arrange with the supervisor foi
handling larger sales. Amounts
over $4,000 worth cannot be solo
until the timber has been adver-
tised for sale. This provision is de-
signed to insure the use of proper
prices. Accordingly, II you want
more than $4,000 worth OF timber,
il is necessary to let the forest Of
ficers know at least q month before
the timber is actually needed.
Sales at Cost
An act of congress provides that
farmers and settlers may obtain
timber for use on their ranches at
prices equal to the actual cost of
handling the sales. The cost OF sell
ing timber In this region is taken
at rs cents per thousand feet, board
measure. and the prices for posts,
poles and cordwood are based on
this rate.
Only material to be used exclus-
lively for domestic purposes on farms
and homesteads will be sold under
this provision. Such material can
not be used by farmers ON town prop
ertys OK for any purpose. on their
