The forest service is allowed by
law to sell stumpage only from the
national forests. The purchaser of
timber has no cut-over problem,
since the government , retains title to
the land. Any legitimate use of the
land incident to the development of
the project is allowed at a nominal
consideration, . or for some . uses, free
of charge. ,
It should be understood that tim
ber is sold from the national forests
of Alaska only for immediate and
continuous operation, and that the
general policy or form of contract
does not permit the acquirement of
timber on a speculative basis.
