 Rolls Down 20 Foot Bank

Gupnar Blomgren, Jr not yet two years old, went out exploring the world at noon today. He was found shortly before 8 o'clock this after noon near the Dawes Hospital where he had rolled down a twenty y-foot embankment.

 The little fellow left his home on Gold Street, between Fourth and Fifth, at noon to meet his father, who is proprietor of the Sanitary Grocery. Missing him, he kept on going, paid a visit to the Juneau Cold Storage Company, played around on the City Float and finally climbed the hin at the road to the Dawes Hos pital near where he came to grief

CATTLE BAR0N'S VAST DOMAIN IS
 NOW FOR SALE
Enormous Land Holdings o Late Henry Miller to Be
 Split Up by Heirs.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1O.-The remains of the vast empire of the late Henry Miller, cattle baron, who rose from butcher boy to the larg- est individual land owner in the United States, are for sale, accord ing to announcement by David Brown, secretary of Miller & Lux, a holding corporation.
 The lands are valued at $40,000,- GOO. They include one tract of 500,- ley, California, with a frontage of seventy miles along the San Joaquin River and approximately 500,000 acres elsewhere in California, Oregon and Nevada.
 Decision to sell was reached, Brown said. because of prolonged litigation over inheritance taxes computed in millions of dollars, and because of the company's determina- ton to pay it's debts of several mil lion dollars. Difficulties encoun- tered in managing the vast estate. realization that none of the Miller heirs will be able to control the property, and public opinion that the lands should be divided also played great part in the decision.
 Shortly before Mllers death in October, 1916, experts said that his hand holdings were so extensive that even the owner himself had no exact knowledge of them.
 Figures compiled and announced turing Miller's lifetime gave the fol- lowing as his holdings:
 Santa Clara County, eight square miles.
 Merced County, thirty six miles north and south by twenty-two Ellles east and west.
 Fresno County, 100000 acres.
 Oregon. approximately 7,000,000 acres
 Nevada, approximately 3,5OO,o00, acres.
 The passing of the Miller lands to other hands will close one of the romantic chapters in the history of the West.
