AN OUrRAGR.,-The State Board of Commission
ers to select site for the Agricultural and Mining
College of California, bave performed their duty
with vengeance. They have selected tract OF
100 acres, three miles north of Oakland Alameda
county, contiguous to the grounds of the College of
California, for which they pay $50 900. 1t is
iair agricultural section and is totally devoid of
mineral interest. 1t is composed of the rolling
foothills of the Diablo range. and when the public
remember that the best farms in Alameda county
can be purchased from 800 to $500 per acre. the
eiornity of the swindle practiced by this State
Bard will be apparent. They have paid $500
per acre for lanl upon which the cold blasts OF
summer permit not a shrub to grow, and where the
struggling wild oats uprooted by the fierce
winds. II looks as though the Bdwelian period
was indeed fastened upon the State May shame
and confusion fall upon the Board for their con-
tempt and disregard of the agricultural aud mining
interests of the State.
