 MT DeGraffenreid Mir Brooks and Mir Brindley, with whom we have col labora ted in the preparation of the new bill have met every suggestion in the spirit of absolute fairness and frankness. They have been unselfish. painstaking and patriotic in the dis charge of their duty. It has not been the desire of any of the participants to injure or unjustly affect any legit- innate interest or enterprise. We have been assured that it would be admin istered in tho spirit in which it was prepared It may not be, and doubtless isenot, perfect, but we believe it to be decided improvement on any revenue bill heretofore adopted by the legisla- ture.
 Ut may be proper to add that the license provisions of the bill. so far as they represent changes in the existing law take effect January 1. 1912. New license provisions take effect 90 days after the passage of the act. The gen eral provisions of the law take effect September 1, 1911.

WASHINGTON, April Secretary

ordered what will probably be the
most unusal auction sale ever held in
the United States. The general pub
lie will be invited to bid on a room
full of valuables, the unclaimed prop

alone and so far as known, friendless.
The property came from every quar-
fer of the globe, whence United States
consuls forwarded it to the state de-
partment. The government has been
unable to find the heirs, and so, the
unclaimed personal estates, some OF
them worth thousands of dollars, have
for wears lain in huge vault in the
Office of the Auditor of the State and
Other Departments
Almost every variety of small article
is represented in the heterogeneous
LOT which is to be auctioned off. There
are pen-knives with broken blades,
and cavalry sabers. There are cheal
