| having been necessary to describe all
the many pieces of wood land owned by
the company. Nearly column is oc-

50. $1,000 shall be accepted. No bid
will be accepted without an ac-
companying cash deposit of $4,000. and
the purchaser will be required to pay
Immediately ten per cent. of his bid.

position of this plant.
