On or after Mar. 4, 1913, ten per centum of all moneys received
from the national forests during each fiscal year shall be
available at the end thereof, to be expended by the Secretary of
Agriculture for the construction and maintenance of roads and
trails within the national forests in the States from which such
proceeds are derived; but the Secretary of Agriculture may,
whenever practicable, in the construction and maintenance of such
roads, secure the cooperation or aid of the proper State or
Territorial authorities in the furtherance of any system of
highways of which such roads may be made a part. In sales of logs,
ties, poles, posts, cordwood, pulpwood, and other forest products
the amounts made available for schools and roads by this section
shall be based upon the stumpage value of the timber.
