roneous. Beachey says he's sure of
one thing, and that is that he never
handled cent of the 30O,0OO-sale
which you reported, and he really
was not before aware of the transac-

I've been making an extended
round through this State and Califor-
MIA, and just brought up here in time

is asked to give $500, 600 and Orms-

while those who favor the project
say that monopoly is better than
nothing. II is not presently propos-

Central Pacific.
The Legislature meets Jan'y Atm.

pilation of the general laws in con-
