Aggregate OF the twol
Estates.

These inventories do not include any real
estate outside of this State consisting of H.
600 acres of land in Dakota, certain lands in
Michigan, lands in Wisconsin, estimated to
be worth S225OOO, and real estate in Massa-

this property cannot, it would seem, fall
short of 100000, which will bring the es-

held by Governor COburn at the time of his
death, but in fixing the valuation the safest
basis is taken and no valuation placed upon
questionable securities. S550,O0O of the stock
