The Witness. — The bids in the name of the Adirondack Timber and 

 Mineral Company and William W. Durant and the Adirondack com- 

 pany constitute, as I understand it, the lands formerly owned by the 

 Adirondack company; I have given them separately, and the aggre- 

 gate of the acreage report as applying to them shows the acres 

 formerly owned, as I understand, by the Adirondack company within 

 the blue line.
