The commission appointed by

naming 600 acres of the Davenport
estate according to the interests of
the Irrespective heirs and assigns,
in response to a petition flied in
court by the owners of the property.
has made its report, which has been
approved by the court. After the
death of Bailey Davenport a syndi.
cate composed of Capt. T. J.
Robinson, Frederick Weyerhauser,
Charles Deere and Morris Rosen-
field. was formed and purchased
the interests Of the three sons
who, together with the daugh-
tiers. Misses Naomi and Catherine,
held an equal share in the property.
The purchase of the sons property
gave to the Weyerhauser syndicate
as it is generally known
three-fifth's interest. The daughters
retained their two-ffths interest.
This naturally complicated matters
when any of the interested parties
were DESTROYS of disposing of any
portion of the land-neither side
being at liberty to sell without con-
sulting the other. Recent exper-
fences in this connection prompted
the petitioning for division of the
property. The court appointed E. f.
Parmenter, j. NJ. Buford and f. II.
Guyer commissioners to perform the
work. They submitted their report,
which was approved.
